Xbox One Launch Thread [Thread being archived 1/1/14]

So I'm at Wal-Mart to pick some stuff up and they have a Day One Gold Membership card (one year) that says Day One Bonus Includes Killer Instinct Round One Digital Game For Xbox One Playable with Exclusive Shadow Jago Character. I assume that isn't getting the game with the card, just Shadow Jago, right? Worded very poorly.

In that picture with the White Xbox One and the stack of games, I notices Zoo Tycoon is a retail disk. I thought it was a digital only title??? Searched a few Stores web-sites and no mention of the game. Does it in-fact have a retail version?

Walmart exclusive.
 
There is no separatte game library according to engadget.

"My Games & Apps" returns from the Xbox 360's Guide Menu to provide two jumbled, sadly unfilterable rows of every owned piece of software. Like the PlayStation 4's main content area, One's My Games & Apps not only lists everything you own (both games and apps, as the name says), but it also lists game disc installs. Of course, when you try to load those games without the disc inserted, you'll get nothing more than a prompt asking if you've lost your mind. You haven't, of course; it's just a poor design choice. That there is literally zero organization outside of most recently used apps showing up closest to the left is truly unfortunate. We might have to keep Kinect hooked up just to circumvent dealing with finding specific apps.

I am guessing they will add organization later on right? Safe bet?

Wal-Mart exclusive in the US until Jan 31st for some stupid reason.

Yes it does. People can nitpick it to death much like they could nitpick Killzone for not exactly looking like the reveal trailer back in February. I choose to take the high road and think both games are amazing looking. :)

Don't want to go off topic but every footage I saw of Killzone looked exactly like the reveal video. What went missing?

Does anyone know what 2 player games are at launch?

I know of at least killer instinct.. ok trying to decide if I should get a second controller or not.

Yeah, just Shadow Jago.

Compare Windows 8 vs Windows 8.1

There is nothing wrong with being fat and called Francis.

Nuh uh, I didn't follow KZ closely but I've seen many ppl point out the downgrade differences. Knack too.

Second Sons, which I am following has suffered no such downgrade. I'm guessing the extra dev time made a big difference.

So have we saw anything with how snap works with videos streaming? Does twitch take up the whole snap side so that it is a big picture? Does Netflix work with games running smoothly? I hope Netflix snapped takes up the whole space provided so that you can watch shows and play games.
 
How funny, Xbox One has the better launch line up, and the better announce 2014 line up. Can't believe Francis has bought into Sony's PR nonsense about "loving gamers" they don't give a shit. They want your money, same as MS and everyone else.
hmmm..ms comes out and says tv for an hour and sony talks about hardware and developers...pr is pr but don't be mad ur preferred console chose to target the tv audience and not core gamers. And both launches are average...lol at upcoming game list comparison. Personal preference, as I don't see anything slightly interesting on the side outside of titanfall and halo...

Let's just emjoy our launches guys no need to piss on anyone

I haven't heard of any downgrade on Killzone. Knack, I don't know.

But from what I know, Killzone looked better and better with every single build they showed.
 
I don't understand why both consoles didn't come with some sort of organization for the game library. I know it'll get patched but wondering why it wasn't standard out of the box.

Nah, the guy just prefers the Playstation exclusives. Games are the only thing that matters for a lot of people, and both consoles are strong in that department so it all comes down to personal tastes.

Have no problem with anyone's personal taste, people shouldn't have to justify their purchase to anyone. What I took issue with is him saying PS4 is for gamers and XB1 is for entertainment lovers, when XB1 is arguably providing a better experience for gamers.

Why would I be mad when it's delivering games I want to play vs the competition. MS has more games for launch, and for 2014 (revealed) thus yes, the line up is better. And it's always personal taste which you prefer, said that before. Not pissing on anyone either, go and reread my posts if you need to.

The only thing that erks me on Infamous is the quality difference between the cutscenes and gameplay but as it's open world and still months out I'm definitely not hating on it.

How though? The launch titles we'll have forgotten about in what, a month?
 


My real speed is actually 70 mbps.

Oh, I want to play...and this is on Wireless N. People faint when I show my wired speedtest.

I really hope to put the MS servers to the test when I download Killer Instinct. When I downloaded BF4 on my PC I got it in less than 3 minutes. I was hoping to try it out on PSN on launch but got a DOA.

Nice xD.

Forza, Dead Rising 3 and KI3 have staying power... not sure what you're talking about.

I think he's suggesting there isn't much else coming. Also, GAF tends to burn through games very quickly and look onto what's next.

Here's hoping Phil Spencer isn't blowing smoke about their portfolio being strong for the next 24 months.

That doesn't make much sense either, Titanfall, Sunset Overdrive, Quantum Break, PvZ(timed exclusive), Kinect Sports Rivals, Halo 5 and Project Spark all coming in 2014.

:D

I hate you.
