Does Forza look good Bruce? I see so many differing opinions but I trust your eyes.

Just in case anyone is wondering, it doesn't look like you have to hook up kinect at all. I skipped the option to hook it up and tossed in the closest =P

So Kinect is working perfectly, and the voice navigation is flawless except one command I can NOT get to work for me.
"Xbox, On."
I've had it work once, when I said it in the stupidest way as a joke (Xbawcks, Oane), so I'm trying to figure out how you need to say it? How long do you have to pause for "Xbox, On?" I normally pause for one second and every command works, Xbox On doesn't though...

Just received via FedEx a copy of Ryse, a limited edition Ryse book (only 200 made), and a pretty cool t-shirt I would definitely wear, but I'm not too certain it would fit, but that's my fault for not specifying my size. 
Sent by the Ryse Team with the signatures of about 13 different members of the team. I was warned about spoilers in the book ahead of time, but I couldn't resist looking through it some since it's going to be awhile before I actually play it.
And, man, let me tell you, this book is really beautiful end to end. Nice, long pages with lots of really fantastic art and details about what their inspiration was for different parts of the game involving story, characters, combat etc. It also looks to have a section for every single level in the game, as well as all MP maps. Visually it really does border on feature film like quality at times based on what I'm looking at in here. In fact, this thing may look even more awesome in book form than it does on screen, which is a feat in itself. Plenty of major story spoilers and such, but they're really making me even more excited for the game. And looks like animation "tells" were truly a big part of their design focus. The idea really is for the player to predict, not react, to what they should be pressing for the various executions based solely on player's carefully reading the main character's various animations or movements. Simply reacting to the color prompts after the fact will never actually earn you a legendary bonus. It seems that's only possible through accurate prediction, or memory if you've encountered an execution a few times already. And maybe I missed it before, but timing, which I always knew played a role in the normal combat, is more important than I expected. I didn't suspect that it made as big a difference in the player's actual combat speed and thus combo chaining capabilities. Essentially, there's a bigger benefit to perfectly timed hits than just entering burning eagle mode and the benefits that come with doing so, and just thinking about applying this timing concept to attacking multiple enemies at once seems like it adds an interesting challenge. Not something that seems to make the game harder, of course, but just a little personal challenge for people that will actually care about wanting to master that aspect of combat.
Just spent about an hour or so pouring through this thing. Did lots of skipping around obviously, since it's 99 pages worth. Spoilers all over, particularly a quite massive (and quite clever) one in the opening pages that I'm stunned I never thought about, but I don't want all the blanks in the story filled in, so I'll probably be holding off on reading up on every little detail till when I can actually have an opportunity to try this game for myself. But this book, as far as collectibles go, is pretty awesome.

Fist thing I said when Game Stop handed me my Xbox One was damn this is heavy. What I was impressed with is how well everything was built. Everything felt like it was built to last.

Hm.. Thank you for informing me, I was just about to ask about this.
Forza looks amazing

I think it looks fantastic. I get the complaints but the PQ is just so nice on a decent tv. It doesn't look as plastic as some of the other games. The racing is just perfect though and smooth as butter. Frankly none of the launch games on either platform are graphically perfect but Forza is just impressive enough for me.

You can download a pdf of that book via the smartglass app. I agree it's a lovely piece of work.
Coming from PC gaming the last 2 months, it looks quite good but not THAT amazing. The aliasing is pretty noticeable.
You're in an "Xbox, On" country, right?
you mean "Xbox, On" language. (English, French and German)

Just worried my 1080i Bravia won't show the great IQ.
Damn. I knew I should have tried for more of the 30% off coupons.

Mine has worked surprisingly well even with TV audio and audio from my laptop next to me playing fairly loud.

NP. It hasn't prompted me to install since skipping. The only thing it does is show a little kinect not hooked up notification in the upper right corner of the interface(not during game)
.
Oh I think it's going to be a very strong year.
Just waiting on UPS at this point. They always come late to my house though.

I got this the very first time too, but it's worked without issue since.
Once he said it yeah... Just thought it was humorous that he didn't even think to say it.
Guys, I need some help.
I bought 2 Xbox Ones, one for my living room and another for the basement. I want to go all digital, but I don't know how this system works.
Is it the same as the 360, where the content was available to every user on the console that it was originally downloaded and available in any other console only when I'm signed in with the account that bought it? Or did they change it?
Thanks!

when you calibrated the mic, did you pump up the speaker volume? (it says to put it above normal listening levels)
It actually is, only played it for a hour but from what I saw of it I was very impressed. Can't wait to sit down all day with it. (dumb work)

Really, I was looking through and can't seem to find it. Do you need an Xbox One to get it digitally? Would love having a digital copy also.

Don't you have to pump up the volume? I tried it once and it told me to make my speakers even louder.

What are the best multiplayer games that were release today?
Hm, so I can;t alternate which console I buy content, right? I have to buy everything on the console that I designate as the "Home Console"?

Yup, North America, United States, English selected as my language. Not sure why I can't make "Xbox One" not work, when everything else does. :/

Ugh, urge to run out and buy an xbone but the only games I'd even get are DR3 and KI. Everything else I have the superior ps4 verison =\
I see.. So just to be sure, the other console, the one that won't be the home console, will always need to have my gamertag signed-in in order to play games, correct?
EDIT: I got it. Thanks very much, sangreal!

Odd omissions.
