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

I am being careful to only talk about stuff Major N and Albert P have already mentioned. Besides, my impressions would be the bias.

But man. I am loving my entertainment center right now.


Also: TOP TIP - when you get your Xbox One, watch the tutorials. The console does SO MUCH. And you can make that experience deeper and easier by watching 'em.

"Xbox, Help."

Then select "How to Videos and Tutorials"

I am still discovering cool stuff.

You guys are welcome to love or hate the OS, but there can be no argument that it is incredibly deep and full featured.

Do you think Kinect will be better with the time? I mean, voice commands, I hope the system can "learn" how I talk to Kinect for better performance.

I hope I share that same experience as well.

I'm disappointed at the reviews for Kinect 2.0. What are your thoughts after using it for a while?

Nice!

EDIT: The "Hello from Seattle".

You mean Killzone?

I wouldn't say that. Killzone was hyped beyond belief, and it hit mid 70's on metacritic. For a game with that amount of hype to perform like that is not great (I AM NOT SAYING IT IS BAD). Ryse in the other hand is not so hyped up seeing as how it generally not favored. For it to score around a 70 would be alright for the game itself.
 
Looks like i will be sleeping by the time the review embargo is up, hope i wake up to some positive news. At this point if it gets a low score i really don't care. Knack got hammered, and killzone was average according to reviews, but gaf loved both titles.

OMG just noticed Time Warner gave me the free upgrade from 50Mb to 100, fuck yea. Just in time for the XB1. 50GB games downloaded in an hour flat, I'm officially ready for next gen.

I'm saying two games with really good graphics but being slammed on poor gameplay and story.

Frank/Stinkles you grabbed BF4, right? When you get the chance could you report back on whether or not the online, well, works? Can you get into 64 player matches?

Microsoft is pretty committed to making all your software experiences better and better over time. Except for Clippy and Bob.

Ah, that's much better.

edit: Oh god, does it actually have a Wal-Mart logo on the box? :(

I can confirm that I have it and that I peeked at Campaign and was kind of astonished at how good the graphics were. There was this big fat layer of generational improvement in fidelity.

Have playdate arranged on Friday night with our internal BF krew for MP.


Yeah. With a K.

Walmart it is. It ended up being the store I got my XBO pre-order at too. So it works out.

Sounds good. Guess we'll know about the status of the multiplayer soon enough.

Console from Amazon.
Ryse, Dead Rising 3 and AC4 pre-ordered at Target.

I have a lot hoping on Target.
All three are supposed to come with a $5 giftcard.
AC4 has a $10 giftcard if you grab some Redbull.
Walmart is selling AC4 on Friday for $50
I have a 30% off 2 games coupon.

And our Target had every game out on the shelves. Don't know if they would sell them as I was going to wait for Friday.
None of the Day One editions were out though, just the vanillas.

Anyone have need for speed rivals? Does it support the trigger feedback?

Thinking about trading in my ps4 copy for my xbox one copy (lol).

I'm curious about this as well if anyone knows.

(Oddly, I am also considering switching my PS4 copy for Xbox One - just because I have many more friends on Xbox, so I think I would enjoy it more.)

Always liked the "Hello from Seattle" line. Just a nice little nod. They did that on the Zune as well when it was still around.
