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

Dont forget guys, if your TV is set to HDMI full make sure the setting is matched on the console or blacks will be hella crushed.



Day 1 all digital for me and loving it
 
Yoooo. Jeff Gerstmann using snap to bet and watch Saltybets on his tv, hahaha.

So the headset is pretty pitiful, barely fits my head :P. Msoft needs to make a wireless mic (or preferably a licensed headphone like sony has).

been playing Killer instinct all night, Killer App.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH SON!

Delivery man just dropped this off, but that's not even why I'm so happy!

I was lucky enough to snag one of UK day one bundles that give your Forza 5 for free.

Except I got TWO free copies of Forza in the box :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D


*for speaker size reference, that's a 37inch TV


My body is ready.

Okay, so I just held the controller and immediately smiled hard.

I can't believe I was worried about the bumpers...I can't even see a way to sensibly hold the controller in a way that they'd be a problem.

Trying to press them where they don't depress even feels and looks silly to me. Especially when switching from trigger to bumper. So much unnecessary movement is required when you can just apply pressure to the bumpers with the middle of your finger (like I did on 360 pad). Even pressing the middle

Well, back to setup!

My own personal opinion of course.
 
Quick question, yesterday I was downloading the dead rising 3 patch when the MS servers went down.

Is there a way to see if the patch downloaded and it's installed?
 
My controller won't stay synced ahhh! It loses sync like once a min and resync's when I hit a button or the guide button. What gives? Interference?
 
Dumb question... is there a way to get this thing to show me the download queue? I'd like to see what's downloading, what's queued and ideally how fast it's going...

I used to get that with the 360 controller and it was caused by faulty batteries. Try swapping some out for fresh ones if you have them to see if that makes a difference.
 
Lucky enough to snag one here in Japan. Setting it up now :) although the system doesn't seem to allow for Japanese as a language nor does it allow you to choose it as a home country. Dat tier 2 sadness
 
So did they announce anything?

Not much. They confirmed ff15 and kingdom hearts 3. Some exclusive unspecified MGS5 content. Plants versus Zombies Garden Warfare is a timed exclusive. New Titanfall info at VGA's. Skyrim Online will be on Xbox One. Not sure if any of that was new.

Unfortunately, none of it was new.
 
Also not a fan of the bumpers, feels like you have to move your fingers too high, unless you press them more on the side with the middle of your fingers but that just feels wrong to me. Everything else about it is pretty good though. Boggles my mind that simple features like sending voice messages, and seeing how much power your controller has are missing too. As well as streaming media from PC, basically the only multimedia feature I care about is missing, couldn't care less for the Kinect and other media features. Bit sad, because streaming music on the 360 while playing games was amazingly well done.

most was known except maybe MGS content. As far as ID stuff I didnt see any and didnt know that was tweeted, pretty lame nothing was said.
 
Jelly? Wat?

Something something lessons must be learned something.

The only reason you aren't playing Forza 5 right now is because you are on some crusade to "punish" Microsoft the way you "punished" Sony last gen.

In the end, you're just punishing yourself.

Don't get it twisted, I fully believe that my dollar counts and the only way to force companies to remember that is to vote with that dollar. Consumers who thoughtlessly purchase whatever with no forethought are no better than mindless robots devoid of any opinion worth a damn.

That said, I still loved my time I had with 360 (it was my console of choice) and I still fully anticipate the games on its successor platform. And one day in the future when it is time for me to finally get an XBO, I can have all the goodness at once. Until then, I will maintain my safe jelly distance and rabidly consume content for the XBO games I'm excited about :)
 
Never knew anything about exclusive MGS content before today. Too bad they didn't announce some ID stuff.

Are we getting a full trailer of QB at VGX?
 
I suppose a few of you bought the Xbox live gold day one card, can anyone confirm if the KI thing is the full game or just a new character?

you can't send voice to other x1 users? It is known that you can't send them to people in 360, but I thought you could to other x1's. Also you could maybe try snapping Pandora or something to get music while playing. I know its not the same, but those options will eventually come I'm sure.
 
I think the X1 looks good underneath my TV, fits in great. No problems with setup everything works fine and I've sobered up after last nights beers.

I saw instant on and energy saver... Instant On is the one I want right? I left it at that.

I hope that works for you - I just tried it because I'm going to bed and have stuff downloading. My router stopped indicating it was sending a lot of data so I'm assuming it's not downloading while it's off. I'm leaving my box on while I sleep.
 
DAAAmnn MS arnt playing around!!! Duracel batteries, first time ive seen a company pack those, thats some premium rate shit.

Also, ive only got through 50% of GTA5, so i hooked up my Xbox to my Xbox, so i can game while im gaming. Seriously!!!
 
Just installed Hardware, Apps and Games UI is slick and Voice Commands are working surprisingly well. The Xbox One is whisper quiet even while installing Dead Rising 3 from Disc. Day One update was fast and Download speeds are good. But now the bad part Microsoft why the hell on Earth i am not able to choose a preferred Language for Games and Subtitles??? Fix this like the preferred Language Settings for Blu-Ray. None of the Games has a Language select in the Menus. I am German but i prefer to play my Games in English with German Subtitles. I have to select English as System Language and than choose US or UK as country to get English in Games. But if i do that i am not able to use the Store with my Account.

Please Please fix this asap!!!

Wait did they do any independent developer stuff during the show? I didn't see any... that was one of the things I was excited about to hear :(

That's not what my comment implied, but your irrational fanboyism continues to impress Dynopia. My comment was simply saying that if you buy a product because you believe you have no say anyway, and do not think of the implications, then you are no better than a mindless robot.

The only way you or anyone else fits that category is if you did not think of the implications and in fact did not think about anything at all. So unless you're feeling guilty...

haha thought the same when I saw them in the controller box, was expecting some cheap knockoffs. Although I do have rechargeables ready might as well use them up first.
