He's using a mic on stage and talking like a robot. Kinect 360 works better than that for me with my crazy accent at a normal level and with the TV making a racket.

It should be fine if it's better than that.

Apparently Kinect 2 doesn't work very good in very large room like that, journalists made a comment like that when it was shown in a large hall but apparently it works much better in a living room or other small room.

I think it has to do with how it was setup to receive and listen to voices.

You still getting one despite the Twitch delay?

Who would honestly cancel a preorder over twitch.tv streaming?

If it really matters that much you can get a Elgato and do it on all your devices, sure it might be $180 but it's professional and it looks really good.
 
Unfortunately, they've said that the input latency is high enough for the feed coming in that it's not recommended for fast games where input timing is key. Maybe it's a hardcoded limitation of the feature, or maybe it can be adjusted later on via update to strip a lot of the processing away for interactive use, rather than just linear/non-interactive feeds, like television shows and movies.

Last week they said the lag is not an issue:

It is an extremely small lag that the human eye will not be able to perceive,” Henshaw said. So yes, it’s going to be very possible to play the PlayStation 4 using the Xbox One, and the lag, according to Microsoft’s engineer, will be very hard to detect. You could also hook up a Wii U and play the new Mario game, and then use voice commands to put that in the background and switch over to an Xbox One game without changing inputs

In fact, he said, this is the way he and his son play Xbox 360 games at home; they have the system hooked up via the Xbox One so they can have fun with the new UI and still play Xbox 360 games. So he’s not speaking hypothetically, this is a working feature.

I heard about the Twitch delay about 2 months ago, but nobody else did it seems!

it's been mentioned a bunch of times the last few months (apparently it was talked about in some youtube interview) but nobody from MS ever commented on it

any established streamers can just use their existing equipment. the delay is a bigger issue for people that wanted to get into it without buying a capture device

Mediamarkt and Saturn and stuff - those will not break street date. Best luck is Libro - that's where I got my early Wii U but they did not have early One's today - I check every day.

PS you are going to be pretty close to me ;)

Thanks

Isnt the release date in Austria on Friday too? (so no need to break the street date)

Oh I missed the Friday part ;) yeah totally. No idea how the demand is of those Xboxes aound here - Wii U was not a problem to find anywhere on launch day.

Interesting. The Xbox One smartglass app tells me that there is a Ryse Digital Deluxe bundle available on the marketplace complete with the season pass and some extra gold. If it is 79,99€ (I expect the price for the base game is 69,99€ here in Germany) I might get it.

Sent a friend request. Awesome that you're getting Ryse too. Make sure to get some screencaps cause i don't think the xbox one will have the feature.

Shouldn't he be banned from matchmaking for using modded controllers?

LOL I thought the same shit. I had flash backs to be killed by a modded sniper that shot like an AR in Halo 2. Those were not fond memories.

Spawning in the middle of Sanctuary, in the sky, under a guy pointing straight up with infinite sniper.

I don't wanna be popping caps in noobz only to be distracted by somebody playing 'flight of the Valkyries' on Needler.
