xMInks is streaming her Xbox1 experience now.

My God why am I even watching this lady?

Kinect works for her "I don't like using Kinect."

Impressions of headset "This is the most retarded thing I've ever seen."

So Ford could you look up the market place prices for Ryse,BF4 and Forza 5?

Or did someone posted them already?

Pretty sure they are up on Xbox.com.

Any official word on AC resolution?

All we know is that it is at least 900p and has the AA patch.
 
It's here!!

And in a tier-2 country! Take that Ms.

So if you had to choose Dead Rising 3 or Forza, which would you choose?

EDIT: I can get one of the other games on December 1st, so it's just one game + Killer Instinct for a week. Would you go Dead Rising 3 + KI or Forza + KI?

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 ;)

I love it too. So many memories of the original! Chills down the spine ... usually of me getting my ass kicked.

Does anyone know if you can download the videos from xbox fitness or do you have to stream them each time? Streaming an hour video in hd every day would not help with my bandwidth cap.

I would personally pick Dead Rising 3 and KI because I don't really like Racing games that much. But it's up to you.

My Amazon order is still on "not yet shipped" but customer support has assured me that it will be at my house by sometime tomorrow. I'm still super nervous.

So i started the campaign while waiting for the multi. Graphics are top notch till now. The new rumble set is crazy. Impulse triggers are really crazy. It's funny because on the box it didn't say it was actually featured.

Dead Rising looks more fun and has a greater variety of gameplay on offer, so I'd personally go for that.

Any guys who are getting it day one but can't play it until another day? Cause that's what's going to happen to me and I won't be able to play it until Sunday even though it's getting delivered to my house on Friday :(

If Amazon ships mine Monday, I can't play it until Thanksgiving. I'm in school all week.

Did anyone order a Play N Charge kit from Amazon? I pre-ordered it a few weeks ago when it was in-stock and it looks to be out of stock now. It hasn't shipped either.

I may be right there with you.

I will get it tomorrow night, but I have a 3 week old and a super stressed mom at my house. We also have a serious illness in the family which may not end well and without an idea as to when of course.

All part of the reason I chose one system over the other for the next month or two.

Stay strong! Live though others until we can get to play :) Keep watching the KI trailer and listen to the announcer!

Console? Stunning
Controller? Perfection. Every inch of it
Kinect? I was WHISPERING (2am here) and it worked perfectly
OS? Fantastic.

Seriously, what the fuck were these guys using in their reviews? Update took all of 5 minutes. Only 500mb.

Admittedly. Cold boot took ages.

this girl is a cod player? it seems so to me...
anyway, she installed cod and could start playing from 40%..
voice recognition seemed to work well for her, even if she didnt want to.

her first things as she booted cod, was go fix the sensitivity and the rumble.
then she wandered around an arena a bit, an she said how much better it looked.

then, after maybe five minutes, she went "my xboner" :D

LOLOL cool little lady :)

thats great! where did you order from if I may ask?

Kind of. As long as it's delivered by tomorrow night, I'll have at least Friday to toy around with it. Then the in-laws are in town for my lady's birthday weekend, so I expect not to get to play until Sunday evening. :/

Polygon, Gamestop, IGN all had problems with voice control on stream and in uncut prerecorded footage. Even after implying it worked good in the review.

YMMV on if it works or not. That is what it seems. Also, how close are you to the system?

I was about a metre away because I needed to whisper.

But I don't talk to technology naturally like IGN tried to. I talk slowly and pause when needed. So it all worked as it should for me.

YMMV?

THE WORDS! They'll drift away without the _!
Kinect has been border line useless for me so far. Both voice and gestures.

1 am, so I don't want to try yelling at it.

I'm also not sure if I am doing something wrong, but my controller range seems very bad.

Well that is the biggest problem with the voice controls on this thing. As a current daily user of google now and siri I'll be interested to see how well natural language processing works. MS should have gotten it right. The research and advancement in this area has come along way since kinect 1. Maybe they can fix this with software.

My system is coming tomorrow.

your mileage may vary.

The Google app on iOS is amazing. If Kinect 2 can get to that level of be ecstatic.

It seemed like Nilay Patel just wasn't talking to the Xbox right (he kept saying Xbox and stopping instead of just saying the whole command). David Pierce was having no problems with it.

Siri is terrible.
Works all the time for me.

Apple has at least gotten fluid processing for commands.

"Set timer for 5 minutes"

"timer set for 5 minutes"

"5 minute timer"

They all seem to work. I use it all the time to set my alarm, calendar dates, and cooking timers. Its much easier than digging into ui elements.

Work is going by so slow. Luckily ill be off by 2:30 and be able to get some rest before finalizing my receipt at GameStop then the waiting game really starts.


Still undecided on ryse, I wanna get it after all the videos I watched but if I'll get sick of it real quick night just gamefly it. Decision decisions.

couldn't agree more. Haven't tried a game yet but so far I'm very impressed. Also the cold boot took so long I had flashbacks to my dead out of the box launch 360. Lol. I was about to freak out.

This is what needs to change. They need to be less rigid with commands.
