Question: is there any difference in the download size from downloading from disc or buying digitally? Because if they both take up the same amount of space then theres really no reason to go buy a disc.

Same size.

Lend to friends, resell, physical collection, cheaper prices (deals)
 
Question!

I'm getting the Day One edition with free FIFA14. I am interested in swapping the code with someone for a Forza 5 code.

I hate football and I suck at racing, bit would rather have Forza than FIFA.

Anyone here got a preorder with Forza that may be interested in swapping?

If they cost the same in the UK I'd go digital, but they won't :(

So do we have info on how long it takes to install from disk? The guy who got it early said it took him almost 30 minutes to install Ghost. Bummer if it takes that long for every game.
 
Using the limited voice commands on the PS4 has me really excited for the X1. I see the X1 being more of my media hub than I do any other device in my house (PC, Apple TV, PS4, Wii U). Im excited for xbox fitness and Ryse (hopefully the reviews aren't complete shit). PS4 got me really excited for X1.

Next gen is officially here!

It's going to depend on the game size. Ghosts is 40+ GB if i remember correctly, most of the launch games are not that big. Also you can start playing after it's installed partially, how much needs to be installed first will depend on the game.

I am sure MS will do sales similar to steam. Also don't forget you get instant switch with digital games. I prefer digital collection to not waste space in my house.

Yeah, pro's and con's for each! Just have to weigh up what is most important to you.

That would be the limit then, given COD is one of the biggest games in the launch line up.

Absolutely not meant to be taken as a negative against PS4; I think it's quite awesome. But after having used one all day yesterday, it got me more excited for the functionality and style of the Xbox One. It's definitely a great time to be a gamer.
 
I think we're more likely to see Banjo than Perfect Dark just because MS already has Halo, Titanfall, and Black Tusk's game for the FPS genre.

Yes.



Phil Spencer hinted that more older ips will be coming. I expect something straight from Rare developing it and it will be an old franchise from them i bet.

There does seem to be change in the air in regards to thier old IP. Its still hard to believe we've got a new KI.
 
From another forum:

- Dead Rising 3, the best game from launch (exclusives)
- After 7 hours of DR3 he can't stop playing
- Ryse, almost 7 hours on normal
- Zoo Tycoon... Really fun!
- Forza impressive
- He don't know if it is a bug but if you keep pressing the guide button very fast, you will need to turning off and on the controller.
- Fifa 14 is Fifa 13.1
- Kinect can detect his face even in the dark
- "Kinect.. go porn" <-- not working xD
 
Which Rare franchises would you guys want Microsoft to do next? Got some rare gifs incoming.

Conker seems to be the most overdue now that KI is coming. Sure it got a remake but it was just a remake while Banjo,PD got a new game. I would love each of them to return however. Who was there before Phil took the spot for being in charge of the game studios? I think Phil is better and seems to go after a wide variety of games.
 
I see tons of you with crimson dragon avatars so - http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=717035

since it's being flushed out by new console stuff that keeps popping up - there is chance if crimson dragon is successful we might get a glimpse of a return of Phantom Dust, so tweeing Phil (@XboxP3) for phantom dust after crimson dragon would be a glorious movement

even if it's a digital title it would be amazing.

Does anybody know if there is a launch event happening for the Xbox One akin to the PS4 All Access thing they ran on GT Thursday?

I feel the same way. i really want the xbox to be a great multimedia box. I am super excited to dig into the uI for that stuff and voice commands.

I hope ths is the gen where MS actually do something with Rares old IP. I would literally buy the console tomorrow if they announced a new Perfect Dark.

So much this. FPS genre as a whole is getting stale and a Perfect Dark 2 could really work now, new console would be a great time to reboot the franchise.

Hey Peggle 2 is the cherry on top in Dec. First is one of my favorite download games this gen.

Yeah, I'm stupidly hyped for that game! It's nice we're getting some christmas treats in the form of Peggle and Halo SA. Now if only we got Spinal on xmas day for KI.

Looking forward to what MS do with the likes of Twitch, Snap, Kinect in the future. Remember this is just the first step, I expect they'll evolve throught the generation. I'm wondering what thier studios will do with those features as well.

I asked Albert if devs can use snap in game for stuff like maps and inventory and moves lists and he said yes :) 'Companion apps'
 
For those of you on twitter... this guy has one already https://twitter.com/cjcool804


He messaged me a few days before the ps4 launch and he had a ps4... he's legit. Doesn't say how he got them but he isn't all CONSOLE WARZZZ and he answers questions and stuff. He also does pics/vids.


I wish I was getting a xbox one on friday. Yesterday was super fun. Enjoy your launch guys :)

Yea i'd imagine they can release an app for stuff like that. Seems sort of gimmicky but there are nice ideas i'd imagine that will come out of this.
 
Ah a rebel I see but seriously he should do reviews, I suspect there aren't a huge amount of reviews out there for Spanish speaking outlets.

I could be wrong though.

I guess he or the parents do reviews.

It is only the beginning...
