Official Xbox One Topic

[Mista J]

I think it's worth it. I mean there's the usual AAA titles like CoD and BF, Watch Dogs,there's Killer Instinct, DR3, Ryse. Then if all goes to according to MSs plan, later this year we'll get Sunset Overdrive and Quantum Break.

[chatD4VIS-360]

Unless you can find a good deal I would wait until that must have game that everyone has in them.

[trip]

Does anyone have their XB1 connected through their cable box and leave it on for long periods of time? I've read it was designed to stay on for 10 years! Seems that all the forums about this topic were dated right after the xbox one released and seems like speculation. I would imagine it is designed that way. And is considerably more quiet then compared to my 360. Almost silent. Anyways what's the longest anyone has left it on?

Like left it on in full wth the TV on, or on like standby? Mine has been on (standby) since I brought it home.

 

I'm with you on the silent aspect. Totally silent - it makes turning on the 360 sound like a f*cking jet engine.

By standy I assume you mean in quick startup mode? I mean full on like running the tv app for a long period of time. I leave it on standby for the voice startup but it's pretty much running a while. 7 hours or so sometime. I've read somewhere that while running the tv app it's supposed to be in a low power state but I don't know.

Mine stays in standby most the time, unless the power goes out, which happens quite often where I live. Yeah I have to agree I'm really surprised at how quite the system is.

Still disappointed kinect sports rival had no baseball. How can you not have that??

[RyanBurnsRed]

The thing about the Xbox One is, if it was backwards compatible I would totally buy one.

I wouldn't buy a PS4 because I already have a PS3. I don't care for PS4 exclusives, and most games released on PS4 are also on PC.

But I've never owned an Xbox, so I've missed out on titles like Gears of War 3, Fable 2, Halo, and so on.

 

And not to mention, I personally think the Kinect is cool. Not sure why so many people sh*t on it. So if Microsoft announces backwards compatibility or remakes for those titles I just listed (especially Fable 2) then I just might shell out the cash for a console instead of upgrading my PC for a 4570K and mobo...and maybe 8 more GB of RAM

[trip]

There have been whispers of backward compatibility, but nothing rock solid yet. My understanding is it will be the same emulation method the 360 used to play xbox originals.

 

Funny stuff because I'm in the same situation as you except it is the other way around. I'm waiting to see how/what PS4 does for backward compatibility before I pick one up - I've never owned a PS and want to catch up on their library.

 

Oh and for the record - I'm one of those people that love kinect and voice commands :-)

 

@Rocky - did you gamefly Rivals? I want it, but I don't want to pay full price.

I honestly believe they will shift more consoles if backwards compatibility is an option.

Definitely would have to be simulation; that is of course if the xone can read HD DVDs, because that is what the 360 read.

 

And yes, its the only way to game. Pointless to spend $40-60 a game when you can pay that per a month to get 4 games out and be done with it in that time. I don't see how anyone can not do that if they live in the USA and own gaming consoles. $16/month for one game out, you can rent one game for four months for the price of buying it. Not trying to sell for them, I'm just giving valid reasons to save money and not to get burned by bad games. http://gamefly.tellapal.com/a/clk/1yxDY9

Xbox 360 used standard DVDs. Not HD DVD.

It did play HD DVD's. Xbox started selling it in 2006, got rid of the accessory in 2007. It was an accessory that didn't sell well at all. It only sold a little over 300,000 units. Plus when Walmart gave the axe to HD DVD's in 2008 and Blu Ray's took over (which it pretty much dominated anyway) It was a clear good decision on Microsofts part that saw it coming a year in advance.

The console doesn't play HD DVDs. An attachment does.

I think thats what he meant though. That is was able to play HD DVD's. We all know tha console could not.

[CatDog96]

are xbox one games on blu ray?

[Mista J]

Yep

[esmittystud101]

I actually didn't know they were blu rays. Nice

[Mista J]

Saw this on NeoGaf. It's from a few weeks ago, but thought I'd post it anyways.

[CatDog96]

Is that from a magazine, if it is which one?

[Mista J]

It's supposedly from EDGE

Too bad it's a cross-gen video game. I love mystery/crime games, but just don't understand why developers keep putting their games on both generations of consoles. Take advantage of the power this current generation brings and stop restricting your game by releasing it on old generation consoles.

Preach it man. Same thoughts here.

Edited May 7, 2014 by esmittystud101

[Chase177]

I'm afraid cross-gen might stick around longer this time than it did with Xbox & Xbox 360. The community is still very large on the 360 and it's going to take a while for the majority to migrate to the X1. Fortunately the X1 has been saleing well, but until the publishers see the 360 as a dead console, we're going to see cross-gen games.

[GTA3Rockstar]

Yep.

 

Money and more consoles. Once the x1 and ps4 get double digit million sold, then we might see more next gen only.

[Mista J]

So apparently MS's E3 plans have been leaked too.

http://thecutanddry.blogspot.co.uk/2014/05/leaked-microsoft-e3-2014.html

Remember, these are rumors. f*ckING BATTLETOADS! I hope it's true! Not sure how I feel about Perfect Dark being reimagined as a 3rd Person Adventure game.

 

Sunset Overdrive being a mix of Sonic, Jet Set Radio, and Ratchet & Clank is giving me a stiffy.

 

LEAKED - Microsoft E3 2014

 

 

 

On the DL. This info comes from the highest source and contains near full details of Microsoft E3 2014 conference. I have had corroborations from a number of sources to its legitimacy:

 

Ryse 2 is in development and will be announced at the show in a real-time in-game trailer. Gone is the Roman period, enter the medieval setting. The game will offer more freedom of exploration and a refined combat system. The main character is a sell-sword of sorts with a greater destiny. This game looks beyond belief. No release date (possibly late 2016)

 

Forza Horizon 2 will be announced for release in October 2014 vai Playground Games. It will once again be open world and set in Louisiana, Missisips, New Mexico, Texas and Arkansas. Full day/night cycle, real time weather. Estimated 80 hour single player.

 

343 Industries will unveil Halo 2: Anniversary. This is a full (multiplayer included) visual makeover of Halo 2, it will also include the same options as Halo Anniversary (Including both visual modes) skulls etc. It will include the E3 2003 mission as a bonus unlockable and the maps from the PC version.

 

No Turn 10 this year except in supportive capacity of Playground.

 

Halo 5 will get its release date.

 

Rare is prepping a re-boot of Battletoads and Perfect Dark. BT will initially be a download only title (see Killer Instinct) and is set to run at 60fps. Perfect Dark is looking to be rebooted into a Third Person Adventure game - Similar to Uncharted.

 

Epic will be there to unveil their new game base on the Samaritan demo from 2012. This will be XBOX ONE EXCLUSIVE as Microsoft is the publisher. Possibly the best looking game of this generation.

 

Good Science Studios will unveil their Kinect Only game "EchoBlack" - The game is controlled via the use of Kinect and the player plots through an adventure game drawn as by echolocation. The vibrancy of the world depicted alters depending on the pitch, loudness and location of the players voice. No release date.

 

Twisted Pixel will reveal their next digital game which is set in a sci-fantasy planet of Dekelsus. Possibly a 2.5D platformer.

 

Black Tusk will have a CGI trailer for Gears of War : Lazurus which will show the direction the series is heading.

 

Lift London will be showing 2 projects. They are small and digital based. No other details unfortunately.

 

Lionhead will have a brief gameplay of Fable Legends and bow out with a teaser of their next project which is set in a post-cataclysmic Earth decimated by egg shaped objects (possibly aliens)

 

Frontier Development is working on a family friendly Kinect title for release in 2014

 

Phantom Dust : Sacrifice is being worked on by Grounding Inc and will be a prequel to the original. The game will be episodic in nature.

 

Quantum Break will be out November 2014 - There is a multiplayer mode - Part 1 of a trilogy. The game has had a significant graphical upgrade since last year.

 

Sunset Overdrive is aiming for release on the last weeks of August/Early September. Graphically it looks like the CG trailer and the Parkour element of the game is a mix of Sonic, Jet Set Radio and Ratchet and Clank.

 

The secret Japanese game is coming from Platinum Games and is a Viewtiful Joe like action- beat em up. Codename is "RugPuddle". This is part one of a multiple game deal with Microsoft to publish other titles in the future.

 

Leap Experience Pioneers will announce their game which looks like a TPS/RPG hybrid set in a Sci-fi universe. Looks very Mass Effect inspired. COMING 2015

 

Platform Next Games is a new studio. They will be presenting an unnamed tech demo based on an upcoming project (similar to Black Tusks demo last year) which appears to be set in either an ancient or fantasy setting.

 

 

Games With Gold will be announced for Xbox One starting immediately. The aim is that it will be 1 retail game a month, 1 digital game per month of a choice of 2. This will evolve as time goes on.

 

Microsoft will announce the date when retail units can be activated as development kits, it will be before October 2014.

 

Crackdown: Skyline - Coming 2015 - No other info, not even the developer. Microsoft Studios.

 

 

Multi-platforms are as follows:

The Division (Xbox One is now lead platform)

Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare

Fallout 4

EA game (not specified here)

 

Exclusive/Timed DLC on all.

 

That's all.

f*ck YA!

[iiConTr0v3rSYx]

Ryse 2 already?

 

Sunset Overdrive has my interest.

[Ubermacht]

Forza Horizon 2? Gahhh, I was planning on skipping next-gen consoles and getting a decent PC, but Forza alone might tempt me to get an Xbone...

[OnceAgainYoungFitzpatrick]

Easily better than Sony's rumored presentation.
