Sorry had to steal this one Chugen. Hilarious.

 

[FordGTGuy]

pretty sure it's actually the trigger rubbing up against the side. there is a very noticable gap between the chassis and the trigger that isn't there on the good one:

bad: http://i.imgur.com/eNl2QZ1l.jpg

(bad phone photos, sorry)

if I push the trigger away from the wall as I push it down it works fine

That looks broken bro. D:

Did you buy it from the store?

You might want to get a replacement.

 

[Gary Whitta]

Amazon still hasn't even charged my card yet. Why does Bezos hate me?

 

[dejay]

Ah finally got to see the video... yeah the 2d crowds suck, maybe they used the extra power to push more detail on the cars?

They should have used the infinite power of the crowd.

In other news, 14 hours, 35 minutes and 34 seconds bitches!

 

[The Aussie ROFL COPTER]

I dont know if this concerns people, but when you look at your achievments through this app (Xbox One Smartglass) for 360, you will see that for some reason, you have timestamps for offline achievments? e.g. 1/1/1753 etc. If i use the smartglass app for 360 i haven't got this issue. Online achievments are recorded accuratly. Anyone else notice this. Also provacy setting are severly lacking. Any suggestions?

 

[Miles Quaritch]

yeah what a downgrade

did you quote the wrong person?

Ah finally got to see the video... yeah the 2d crowds suck, maybe they used the extra power to push more detail on the cars?

And I wouldn't fault them for doing it, but it's more than a little odd seeing 2d crowds in this day and age. It's not a major gripe and I doubt most people will notice when they are playing though...

 

[Hoo-doo]

yeah what a downgrade

Let's not act like this single image is indicative of anything. There's a lot more images indicating a significant loss of visual quality in the other thread. The quality is all over the place.

But then, you already knew that.

 

[Lee]

Cross posted just because I love Amazon so much...

I got my Amazon order in at around 8:15 this morning. Since then, it has said that I'd receive it on the 26th. I just did a quick chat with Amazon support and all I wanted was to see if there was any chance it would possibly get to me on the 22nd instead of the 26th. This is what happened...

I'm really hesitant to be excited, as my order still shows "Delivery Estimate Monday, November 25, 2013 by 8:00pm," but just now in my fifth chat of the day with Amazon I was told I will be getting mine on Friday.

The rep said she would send an email verifying that as my delivery date. Nothing yet...

Amazon so I won't have any issue getting it replaced. Just thought maybe I was crazy and it's normal

 

[XtremeXpider]

I prefer less crowds, or even no crowds at all than 2D crowds.

Com on Turn 10, people will stop the car for taking pictures of the 2D crowds only for hating.

So it's better to ignore anything that might be better looking because it doesn't go along with the downgrade theme?

 

[Gowans]

Amazon need to charge and ship, had to call them today to make sure it was release day delivery.

I'm going digital only for demos, I want the instant switching but I have a feeling there will be a digital premium in the UK

Loving the early peaks at the one stuff via the smart glass app, already following people.

Maybe in photomode / less cars they turn 3D?

Turn 10 is known to change LoD depending on game mode, usually Forza 4 looked much better in free play.

 

[Hoo-doo]

Not at all, but acting like a downgrade didn't happen, or that it was actually "upgraded" since E3 is just blatantly false.

 

[Gary Whitta]

Has digital pricing been announced yet? Is it the same as retail?

 

[morpix]

So, I'm a PS/PC gamer, but one of the local (NZ) online retailers had a Day One edition available for shipping. I impulse bought it on a whim. It'll be here tomorrow. It does prove that being a week early helps, even if my PS4 is paid for and will be here next week.

That said... My PS4 will still be my main console. If the XBone TV features don't work as advertised, it'll go on the local auction site in a heartbeat. I've got a SKY decoder that'll go into the HDMI-In.

 

[FrankT]

Now that is bull that gif from the previous page plus the few posted on the Forza thread those upgrades are clear as day. I don't care want anybody says. That isn't to say they toned down some things as well.

For the sake of ease:

[/QUOTE]

Now that is some real downgrades.

 

[milkybar1983]

I thought Marvel Lego was delayed?

 

[XtremeXpider]

2D crowds is so N64... I don't know why Turn 10 made that decision.

 

[Gowans]

Has digital pricing been announced yet? Is it the same as retail?

$60 in US, it's stayed the same but in the UK the £40 price for current gen has been £50-60 on Xbox or Playstation digital stores.

Really hope stores offer disc or code options in the future.

 

[fluffydelusions]

EDIT: beaten lol

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Has digital pricing been announced yet? Is it the same as retail?

All signs point to yes. Forza 5 is $60 on the store, I expect all other retail games are priced the same too..

 

[FordGTGuy]

So you can call it downgraded if you find things worse but we can't call it upgraded if we find things better?

Ok....

They basically did a trade-off like RYSE did and apparently greatly improved the environment's graphical fidelity(no to mention the pavement.) while sacrificing things like 3d crowds.

 

[xXxDieselxXx]

So what else do we have left?

(1) Xbox One teardown video?
(2) Buy 2 get One Free deal?
(3) Major Nelson visiting Angry Joe?
(4) Doritos live stream night on Thursday?

 

[StudioTan]

2D crowds is so N64... I don't know why Turn 10 made that decision.

When I watched the footage being released over the last couple of week the huge crowds was one thing I thought looked amazing and I know other people commented the same. I think it's very impressive looking in motion.

 

[Sordid]

Finally, signs of life from Amazon! Shame this is my brother in law's One, no movement on my Day One Forza console yet

 

[Tabris]

So question because I can't find out the following answers in any of the reviews:

1) Can you turn off the one guide functionality on the WatchTV app so it really is just a pass through with the ability to switch to games or snap?

2) Can you turn off the IR commands (part of the above question). I have a TV + AV Receiver + Harmony Universal Remote. I don't want xbox controlling my tv, receiver, and/or cable box.

If the answer is yes to both of these, I may pick up an XB1.

I wanted to re-ask these questions now that there's been more videos, opinions, and reviews out there.

[rokkerkory]

I hate white console but DAYAMMMM!

The digital foundry thread is like, right there, on page one.

Ah well.

 

[Iced_Eagle]

It was delayed in EU, not US.

I agree, in motion, but sometime you stop in the middle of the race. But well, I hopes Forza 6 can reach a bigger top.

Troll somewhere else.

 

[blinkz]

My pre-order with Amazon placed on June 11th has had no movement.. I feel like Amazon is mocking me.

 

[RebornYeti]

So Amazon is trying to charge my card, but it's being denied. I checked my info and all of it is correct and I have enough money in my bank account as well.

Guess I'll call Amazon and my bank to see wtf is up!

 

[Cloud Strife]

Have there been any technical issues reported yet? Seems to be more stable compared to the PS4 but I haven't been up to date.

We haven't heard a first broken one yet... but it's coming.

Yeah, keep going. Ignore the other images.
Let's discuss this further in the other thread, and don't assume everyone who disagrees with you is just "trolling". Doesn't win an argument.

 

[Miles X]

Ryse embargo is 12 hours. Welp!

 

[ekim]

So what are you guys planning to do tomorrow to pass the time until Friday? I will go to work until 6pm. Afterwards I will meet with friends for table soccer and afterwards go to a concert. I will probably come home drunk and thus will sleep like a baby. Then probably around 1 hour after I woke up on Friday, the postman will knock on my door.

 

[JrBaconCheeseburger]

I would love a white xbox one.

 

[nbraun80]

I saw earlier someone said all the launch games had a 3-day gold trial, just wanted to say my copy of ghosts has a 7-day trial in it.

 

[Tashi]

No review that I know of. It's free (since it's only a demo of one of the sports, it probably doesn't have many tracks, maybe only one).

Thanks

Same here. I'm not scared, I know they'll deliver (they always do), but I just want that gratification of "hey you're specific console is preparing to see you soon."

"Not yet shipped" just isn't cutting it and I'm checking my email and/or Amazon at least every 30 minutes.

Yea Amazon has been great to me too. I saw one guy on Twitter have his PS4 ship out on Thursday morning but it didn't reach him until Saturday. I was pretty shocked but I suppose anything could happen with these console launches.

lol and yea I'm refreshing my stuff like that too

gonna chill with my girl then tell her I'm tired then off to midnight launch lol

 

[Speedy Blue Dude]

I'm going to laugh my ass off if the Day One update for Forza Motorsport 5 that finishes the game up adds in the 3D crowd models, and the 2D models were just place holders.

 

[keit4]

The white Xbox One is sexy.

 

[derFeef]

I am just imagining this in my head... "Hey, I am tired, I will go outside now and will come back after midnight somewhen, bye!"

Yes. Faulty power brick.

 

[Garrett 2U]

Hot damn.
Where do I apply for Xbox division?

Dammit Cyren... Still hasn't even processed for me....
