I had a feeling they would release the Fulgore KI trailer to make up for Ryse. That video player won't start up on my phone, though. Bummer!

Just sitting around with some friends watching a green screen with XBOX ONE on it after the update. A bit worrying that it is taking this much time and without any indication of loading on screen.

Apparently it is the Kinect setup and you need to give it some time to run.

Man the installation of Battlefield 4 is taking ages. It's been on 0 percent for a while now. Should i be worried? Plus does anyone have any idea where to check your active downloads
 
I don't care what pions here say. I love adding fighters to the game over time. That's the problem with fighters to me, the character list gets very stale.

I'm not much of a fighter fan, but I agree with you. One of the things that always turned me off of fighting games was the up hill battle learning each characters moves. Having said that, I'm pretty excited to give KI a try. It looks like a lot of fun.

Didn't know about the Walmart sale thanks for posting. Will grab one game there 3 at TRU and KI Pin edition at the MS Store, going to be a full morning of just picking up games!

BF4 is a really big game and you should see the download progress on the main dash.

Anyone here that had RYSE on their to-buy list bailing after the reviews? I'm still soldiering on, despite the mixed nature (and wow are they mixed).

I'm still getting the game. I haven't listened to reviews in years outside of my own curiosity on a couple of occasions. They think it sucks good for them. Looks interesting to me. A lot of reviewers thought Knack sucked but I got it anyway because I thought the demo was good fun.

I'm grabbing it I didn't even read any reviews I think it looks like a good time I also enjoyed Asura's Wrath this doesn't look worse than that for button presses.

And that's how you do it folks.
 
Yeah, it just took a while.

Installing Killer Instinct and seeing if Ryse also installs from disk at the same time. Might have to stop one to install the other though.

Anyone know where I navigate to to stop or change up the queue?

wow really. took 4 mins to download and install. was very fast.

Not the download that was fast . It was the part where after installing the firmware update the system restarted and just hung on a black screen for a while. It wasn't really that long but it was just enough to be worrying.

Have you figured out by any chance where to check up on your active downloads?

Go to your games. Hit start on the game and move it up the queue.

Exclusive tip for long install/download times.

Step 1: download killer instinct
Step 2: start installing your other game
Step 3: play killer instinct for the rest of the day

No but I am sure what Phat Michael said is it, just to let you guys know, it can download from Live while also installing from disk.

EDIT: Ryse also has another install screen in game after installing the preload.

I microwave steaks.
That announcer dude for Killer Instinct gets me pumped every time I hear him talk. I'd like to see a documentary with just him shouting everything.

I bet getting my ass kicked online will change my tone, but since this game is f2p on console launch, i'm willing to bet there will be a lot of fresh meat online ;)

Yep it's on the main dash but it's been 0 percent for a while now. Might it have something to do with the update it required?

Might be, I know it downloads the patch with the game so maybe?

I would suggest trying a smaller game first and pausing BF4 and see what happens.

Just a reminder it is port forwarding day.


  • Port 88 (UDP)
  • Port 3074 (UDP and TCP)
  • Port 53 (UDP and TCP)
  • Port 80 (TCP)
  • Port 500 (UDP)
  • UDP Port 3544 (UDP)
  • UDP Port 4500 (UDP)

Bro what do you think about the console?

What is your impression?

Tried B4? How is it? :D

I don't hate it yet. D:

Just sharing some info I know.

It finally picked up. It let me in at around 9 percent. Nearly done with the campaign installation but the big big bulk seems to be the multiplayer.

Has anyone seen any Xbox One specific impressions/review(s) of Battlefield 4? Doesn't look like GiantBomb or Polygon has a quick look yet...

I have seen no news on XB1 BF4. I am trying to figure out what console I will keep this game and want to take BF4 back soon to get another game.

Conquest broke, it is same as PS4, ????

Man the installation of Battlefield 4 is taking ages. It's been on 0 percent for a while now. Should i be worried? Plus does anyone have any idea where to check your active downloads

Please keep us posted of multiplayer
