Xbox One has Bluray drive, 8GB ram, 8 core CPU 500GB HDD, 3 Operating systems

So many must be gutted right now. Countless fans and hopefuls wishing for better hardware (myself included). There was no secret sauce, no hardware bump. Every rumour was true, and you know what, I bet at one point it was always online only too, and probably changed course because of the extreme negative response from the public. Fuck me....
 
Xbox hardware on start of this generation and more cloud compute with every year. Many games will use xbox hardware + cloud compute..


Promises.
 
The rumor of up to 3GB being reserved for non-gaming tasks and the reveal of 3 OS'.

Holy shit.

Confirmed weaker then PS4
Confusing name
Showed jack shit
Paywall for used games

Basically all the negative rumor's have come true.
Except always online required.

I'd also bet on this.
 
Looking at the back of the box, hdmi only?

Oh man, 50% different GPU between PS4 and XBO.

Man that could be more difference than 360 and PS3 era. Digital foundry will be sad because no more visit that everyone know the result before.
 
Dan is mentioning that achievements and other game features will be expanding and growing too as the system and the developers learn. Achievements might get easier or harder to... achieve, basically.

Sounds pretty nebulous, like a lot of this.

Sorry just joined the video, do you have details?
 
How exactly does having 3 operating systems make the lives of developers easier?

It's not really 3 OSes.

There's a hypervisor which sits on the bottom and two "real" OSes that sit on top, one for games and one for the system/apps. Game developers will focus on the "game OS" VM while app developers will focus on the "system/apps" VM.

Microsoft wants their box to be as seamless as possible which is why they've partitioned their resources with virtual machines.

Unless I'm mistaken, it should look something like this:

Both XO and PS4 have same ahitecture of GPU [and according to VERY RELIABLE rumor, same clocks]. Difference is XO has 12 Compute Units [main workforce of the GPU] and PS4 has 18. 50% more.

I said the exact same thing weeks ago in another thread and x-box fan jumped down my on my case.
 
For people who do not watch twitch event:

- All leaks were true
- ~200GB/s bandwidth "across systems" which means 70GB/s for Ram and 100GB/s SRAM from leaks
- BIG BIG focus on cloud computing. (no game mentioned just "the future")
- Kinect tech is much much better (duh).
- Lots of theorycrafting, hopes/dreams, everchanging landscape etc...


Basically yes all leaks were all true.
 
hey guys I totally missed the reveal I'm at work, got a 10 minutes break, so no time to read all the threads about the new Xbox, all I see is the number 8 everywhere, so anyone please what's the best thing about the new Xbox and the worst ? does it live up to the hype ? similar expected performance as previously hinted ? thanks !

oh how convenient, thanks !
what's this "cloud computing" thing ? do they intend to render games sharing hardware resources across the Internet ? Folding@Home -> Rendering@Home ? what the heck ??
 
Hey guys, never mind the really important tech stuff that will determine just how long this console will live, how much it will cost, and how much it will hold back/raise standards for multiplat games...at least the console LOOKS good....that's like, really important isn't it? I mean, the box is what everyone really tuned in for.
Guys?

(Actually, in all honesty I really really like it.)
 
Why was he perm banned?

Constantly saying he knew shit (he didn't) about the Xbox One and the reveal itself and derailing threads with cryptic comments to take attention to other things not related. Reveal happened, he knew jack shit when he said he did, banned for it. Mods have made it clear that if you keep stating you know something gaming related and you jerk people around like he did, you will be banned.

A marketing term.
300k servers vs 5 millions day one purchases for exclusives.
And last time there were 1 million concurrent cod player on release.
I dont expect that to end well.
 
Can someone please dumbify all this tech talk for me?

Both XBO and PS4 has 8GB of ram and I kept hearing the word 1.2flop but this wasn't mentioned on the sheet.

Is it confirmed that XBO ram is inferior/Slower than the one in the PS4, and if so. Just how much weaker of a system is? (Is like like comparing the N64 to Dreamcast?)
