Support NeoGAF

[PaulExcellent]

Best thing about next gen consoles!

Wait, does the PS4 have it, too?

 

[Krusenstern]

I fully expected neogaf to have worked out which xbox employee this son belongs to then i remembered neogaf is now just a Xbox hate machine now

What the..?

 

[Kerub]

Switching and suspending games is the next-gen feature I'm most excited for. I play games on a tight schedule sometimes, and I hate having to rush to the next save point to shut down the console.

 

[Lynn616]

Metro is awful.

What do you not like about it. Seems very clean and organized to me. Super simple.

 

[REV 09]

I like that it doesn't have a separate in-game guide...should make it easier to learn. Overall looks good and snappy for a beta.

 

[Zeth]

Am I getting this right? Is the consensus here that this is actually an intentional, planned, leak from MS?

 

[xxracerxx]

What are you even quoting? Is it something that got deleted or is my browser screwed up?

Got removed by Y2Kev for good reason. People were being assholes bringing that garbage here.

Wait, does the PS4 have it, too?

Last I remember....yes.

 

[ElTorro]

Just like Windows 8. Enjoy it if you do. I hate it on desktops.

It's utter shit on desktops, but will be fine on a TV, and Kinect-based gestures should replace touch-based controls nicely.

 

[Vizzeh]

This needs to be re-quoted.

Deffo not quoting anything but your name was mentioned there dude. Only a heads up.

 

[maplelord93]

oh oh, now he going to get his pa in deep shit

 

[Fyrebrand]

"Here's the Ryse beta which I've been playing. It's a pretty fun game."

That statement alone makes me question everything I just saw.

Because you only think games are fun if everyone else says they are fun? People can have their own opinion they don't have to follow what everyone on gaf or anywhere else says.

 

[Tashi]

Looks very slick. The switching from game to dash is siiick.

 

[fastford58]

Looks like my Window's phone OS

 

[Nori Chan]

I hate having to search for Netflix on the dashboard, can't wait to pin it on the X1 so all I have to do is hit left.

Things are getting pretty crazy.

Welcome to every Neogaf Xbox One thread

 

[Bgamer90]

Best thing about next gen consoles! (Suspend mode)

One of them, yep.

Wait, does the PS4 have it, too?

Yes.

 

[Krakn3Dfx]

Wait, does the PS4 have it, too?

The PS4 has the ability to switch between apps, too, yeah, Yoshida showed it off a bit in the Gamescom demo. Even the Vita does it.

 

[sevenchaos]

Fucking love it. Wish I had it in me now.

 

[FinalStageBoss]

Ugly. But as long as its smooth idc what it looks like.

 

[recklesscognition]

I like the green in the marketing, but it's just over the top in the UI. Just blobs of green everywhere. Just makes me think of money.

 

[SilentFlyer]

Wait, does the PS4 have it, too?

Yep. It does. But have yet to see it functional.

 

[oti]

Seeing people insulting each other over a video of a dashboard, maybe I'm not ready for my first NextGen-transition on NeoGAF.

Let's just be nice to each other and have fun.

 

[miDnIghtEr20C]

Looks great and I can't wait for this even more now!

 

[nib95]

STOP talking about fanboy metacommentary NOW. No more posts about xbox fanboys, sonyponies, other forums, garbage you found on twitter and think is worthy of our eyes, etc.

Just don't.

I feel sorry for you guys. Modding these forums around new generation time must be one heck of a challenge. Strangely though, I think Bish has almost learned to take pleasure in it lol.

 

[chubigans]

I have a fond memory of the blades, but I remember how unusable they became when you had to scroll through lots of data.

Do people just say the blades thing for kicks or is there a genuine desire to go back to that design?

 

[Frillen]

Metro is awful.

Most people who say this have never actually used Metro significantly or never.

 

[Valnen]

Got removed by Y2Kev for good reason. People were being assholes bringing that garbage here.

Alright. I thought my browser was acting up because it seemed like it was trying to direct me to the post but couldn't.

 

[jabuseika]

Where will the ads go?

Everywhere...

Spoiler

I had to do it.

 

[Kerub]

The best thing about the blades was the swosch sound when you switched between them.

 

[Emitan]

To swing things in a more constructive manner, can anyone express why exactly the metro interface on XB1 is so bad?

Metro is terrible on PC and has been criticized for months.

 

[3rdamention]

To put this as bluntly as possible, you're an idiot if you think this or Metro in general is unorganized. The Xbox One hatred on GAF is reaching new levels. Additionally, does anyone really believe whatever mess Sony has cooked up for the PS4 is going to be anything more than vaguely functional?

Wow, darn near the trifecta. Calling people idiots for having opinions that aren't the same as yours. Claming the Hate of the XBOX One on NeoGaf is reaching new levels, then you turn around and hate on the PS4's OS calling it "whatever mess Sony has cooked up" and finally, claiming that the PS4's OS will not be anything more than "vaguely functional."


This is a great example of "projection." You are taking your problems, or "hatred" I guess, and throwing them like a blanket over NeoGaf, while doing the exact same thing you are complaining about. Projecting your own issues onto others on this forum. Wow, that's actually pretty sad.

 

[BRocknRolla]

I hope its customizable.

Agreed! That's the thing I hate most about the 360 UI right now (Well, the ads I hate more actually) but the ability to consolidate everything I care about in one spot and effectively ignore everything else would be fantastic.

 

[WrenchNinja]

Of what, exactly? What I've seen of the PS4 OS does not look good, and Metro is already a proven system. The only people who don't like it are PC users that miss the start button functionality.

Metro, duh.

I agree, the PS4 OS does look pretty terrible as it's an extension of the PS3s last store update and Sony's own lame metro-like push.

The only thing Metro is proven to be is pretty disliked by many people. But hey, since you've got it all figured it out, it's just PC users that miss Start. That must be it.

 

[Vizzeh]

The interface is similar to the 360's and obv windows 8, its not bad looking, seems very snappy too. Cant really fault it, only more of the same

 

[Mugatu]

Parts of it sort of reminds me of the PSN Store.

Overall I love how fast it is (my 360 feels so slow now) but I never liked the Metro/Kinect style big buttons. Wishful thinking but I still like the original NXE the best.

Good video though - man that really is so fast compared to my 360.

 

[MasterLeePhD]

Love it. Hope the 360 gets this treatment too.

 

[xxracerxx]

Most people who say this have never actually used Metro significantly or never.

Please don't try and say this....

 

[def sim]

I'm glad it's responsive.

 

[MikeXXIeaf]

Metro is terrible on every platform and has been criticized for months.

Nice, but why? That's mainly what I'm asking.

Why, from what we can see, is metro so terrible on XB1?

 

[Hexa]

I think Metro works fine as a launcher, though I don't really like it in apps, so so far this seems pretty nice and clean.

I wonder if you'll get different backgrounds like Win 8; though I doubt you'll get complete free customization.

 

[kurbaan]

Metro is terrible on every platform and has been criticized for months.

LOL WUT? Metro UI itself has received praise everywhere. Forcing metro on Win 8 desktop has not.

 

[therapist]

Lol Metro.

I would spend approx 2% of time in the dashboard so wtv but damn that is fuckin ugly.

 

[bidguy]

Love it. Hope the 360 gets this treatment too.

fall update was a month ago

doubt we will see any changes till spring 2014

 

[SilentFlyer]

The PS4 has the ability to switch between apps, too, yeah, Yoshida showed it off a bit in the Gamescom demo. Even the Vita does it.

If I remember correctly he didn't show suspend mode or app switching, but just Share button, streaming and commentary.

 

[Proxy]

Hmm... there was a pretty long lag time between pressing the home button and actually going to the dashboard.

 

[petethepanda]

Blech, that last shot. Shit like that is why I can't stand W8.

 

[SmoothRunningGun]

The guide button doesn't pause the game. I don't like it.

Don't get why people want this. Sounds terrible.

 

[Frillen]

Please don't try and say this....

It's like Superman 64. Everyone says it's one of the worst games ever, yet only a handful have actually played it.

 

[Sioen]

Looks nice and smooth.

 

[derFeef]

Seems fluid, me likes.
Also the dude is in trouble.

 

[plainr_]

Nice and snappy. UI looks decent but I hope we can remove and rearragne tiles also.
