Who goes backwards and adds a download limit? Fuck is that.

Cox communications. Like mentioned earlier, streaming is eating into their cable TV business so they are making you pay for it. Sadly I use their tv and most my bandwidth is games. But they give no fucks


But, they are kind enough to let me pay an extra $50/mo on top of their already highest plan if I want to keep unlimited.

So there's that

From what I hear it's a common thing in the US. Too many users using too much bandwidth and not enough money being put into expanding and modernizing the current infrastructure.

You talking about the demo? If so, definitely not

100GB's! I am going to have to delete some games from my X1 then, I only have Forza games in it as well.

Even though I have fast internet the Xbox service is way too slow I have found, they should have just put the game on two discs.

 

[frontieruk]

I think we also still need an OT name..

Perhaps you should join the discussion in the OT?

Just a quick reminder Forza 7 is out for ultimate digi-preorders on the 29th Zorbs and I have picked up the OT as we couldn't find anyone who'd volunteered for it.

If you have ideas for the title let them loose.

 

[univbee]

Sorry to hear this. I hope your ISPs wake up soon and get rid of these caps.

Nah, ISP's know exactly what they're doing.

In fact, even the Xbox crew is at their ISP's mercy.

I did but I couldn't think of anything good haha

 

[RPS37]

So games are about to be around 100GB. Hm.

How big are Car Pack DLC in Forza games? I have a suspicion that your buying the unlock not whole new cars (models, sound etc) because from memory they never seemed that big in FH3. Or maybe I'm remembering it wrong. So, if that is the case perhaps the 100GB install of F7 won't bloat too much. Or maybe not.

Yeah, it will be like that, it's so you can use them in multiplayer

Demo might release around 6pm UK time. Though it has come live later than that before (FH3 IIRC came out later)

 

[test_account]

Oh fuck my ISP and their new 1TB limit.

1TB a month?

Often what happens is the DLC is patched into the game when that DLC is released. And buying the DLC just unlocks it. That's so you can see those cars if other people are racing them, even if you've not bought them.

The car downloads aren't huge. It's track DLC that's big. Each track is several GB.

 

[jediyoshi]

1TB a month?

Yep, finally broke it last month here from Comcast

 

[GHG]

$10 per 50GB?

That's... really bad...

 

[gamz]

I broke it the past three months. Last month I managed to barely squeek by...

How about giving an option for unlimited and pay more? Such fucking crap.

There isn't? man that is VILE!

 

[gamz]

Nope! This hurts people who don't have cable so they stream more and thus go over the limit, which forces you back into cable. Sucks.

 

[Bobnob]

A few years back here in the UK, BT (biggest provider) charged £1 for every GIG you went over you're limit. I think that got shut down pretty quickly.

 

[agc]

All these posts with a 1TB data cap makes me sad. I have 150GB/mo from AT&T.

WTF? What do you pay per month?

 

[veidi]

Will there be a preload for the Forza 7 Demo in the Win10 store?

 

[agc]

WTF? What do you pay per month?

With employee discount, my bill this month with overages is $84. Fluctuates between $65 and $95 depending on what I do.

Doubt it

Southeast Georgia. I am just outside a U-Verse area so can only get DSL.

Has the regular Xbox One version ever been shown ?
Is this the first (offscreen) video of it ?

Hoonigan with the demo you'll be able to download tomorrow

Still looks great. Damn can't wait.

Just another reason why I dumped Comcast.

Its the usual Forza release time tho. For patches, dlc releases etc.

Does the Xbox one S version support HDR? If so, will it be implemented in the demo?

Xbox One S supports HDR.
Demo appears to be the same shown at E3 and that had HDR.

Xbox One S version of said demo was never shown afaik though.

To many people living in the US that literally isn't an option. A single broadband company can have a monopoly on a region and you can choose them or nothing at all.

 

[bennibop]

My issue with sizes like this isn’t the inconvenience of installation, it’s that these effectively make the game require an internet connection.

Agreed.

This is a ridiculous size for a patch, how this is meant to be viable for most people who do not have good internet infrastructure I do not know.

I hear that a lot of people are waiting for Google Fiber to round out, is that true?

Yup. And att have the same cap in my area.

 

[d9b]

Why not 2 discs ffs?

 

[Orca]

I was on Telus 150/150 with unlimited, but switched to 1 GB/250 10 days ago - it has no unlimited available, but offers a TB of usage.

Couple days ago I started getting the 'exceeded data usage' warning, which seems fairly fucking incredible as I'd been gone for much of the week at the hospital with the new baby.

They offer overage of
* $5 for the first 50 GB
* $10 for subsequent blocks of 50 GB, to a maximum of $45 per month

The website's data usage shows me at 280 GB, so there's a huge fucking problem somewhere.

 

[frontieruk]

Why not 2 discs ffs?

Probably as they were still bundling stuff when the game went gold.

Its the curse of the connected world, they can cut content / features to make retail release and have said cut ready by that time

 

[jello44]

Yeah, I know. Hell, in my case it's either VZ or Comcast.

Alia from Mega Man X8.

 

[LoveCake]

Why have they not just put the game out on two discs for the physical version, it would cost them at most one dollar.

I am not happy about this myself and I have a pretty fast internet and no datacap.

8:15 mark, looks like they made the tunnel brighter and added lights on the sides near the tunnel's exit.

 

[nkarafo]

Member when developers had to squeeze content in cartridges? Now it's like payback time.

Seriously though. They need some restrain or else we are going to need 1 HDD for each game before this gen ends.

 

[SolarMystic]

Can we pre-load the demo on Xbox?

 

[TheRed]

How big is the demo?

Most likely not.

23GB apparently.
