It is only the beginning...

It also has sensitivity settings for leaning and it's analogue so you can lean as much or as little as you want.

I thought the Xbox One came with wired headsets inside. I'm 99% sure that I saw someone doing an unboxing video showing it.

Yes it does but it doesn't not supply game audio.

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 :)

Sweet, thanks.

Says the Day1 patch is just over 500mb...

I'm so unbelievably pumped, guys. This time next week we'll be in heaven. So much Killer Instinct will be played. :)

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'

That's awesome seriously.

I'd imagine those features could replace a radar in a stealth game. Enemy movements appearing in snap?

the fuck ?

on PC the leaning is fully automatic and very well done. who would want to play like that ?

also how do you look over a wall with kinect ? do you have to stand up for that ?

You can lean at any time and no you aren't required to do a full body lean like the guy in the GIF.

Also this saves buttons on the controller to do other things while you play.

No idea. They could have it work with slighter head leans, and maybe tilt your head back to look over a wall.

Oh there is a chrome dpad. That looks so awesome.

Also there's a challenge in KI to defeat 6 different characters within the next 33 days. Who wants to boost that soon :D lol jk
 
Got an email today that the Microsoft Store has shipped out my Xbox One. Any chance of me getting it early?

No shipment email from Amazon or Target yet.



Depending upon the order I get games (if I don't get discs before the system I will play digital first):

1. Ryse
2. Killer Instinct
3. Forza 5
4. Battlefield 4
5. Dead Rising 3
 
I really hope a bunch of panicky chicken littles don't ruin the pre-launch hype as soon as a few consoles break down like they did for PS4. It's very frustrating.

Used to be all excitement for new consoles now it's all fear of getting a dud.

Which Rare franchises would you guys want Microsoft to do next? Got some rare gifs incoming.
Banjo. (made inhouse by Rare using the KSR engine, closer to Banjokazooie than Tooie)
Perfect Dark. (singleplayer focused, made by someone else)
Viva Pinata (with heavy tablet integration)

They're the three franchises that makes the most sense to me.

+ HD remakes and ports of:
Jet Force Gemini
Blast Corps
Goldeneye (I don't care who they have to suck to get it done. Just do it.)
All of their releases for the Xbox and Xbox 360 (how about a dual release of Conker N64 and Conker L&R?).
Maybe even some of the GBC/GBA/DS that Nintendo doesn't own the rights to.

Basically: Make Xbox One the number 1 (nyuk nyuk) destination for Rare games.

Don't they ship it to local distributors early so they can guarantee launch day delivery?
 
Really like everything we're seeing of the UI. It looks really alive and connected, especially the front screen. Definitely looks like an evolution of 360.

A big budget Banjo platformer. No messing about like with that Nuts & Bolts bullshit. No half-arsed Kameo stuff either. A full-scale AAA platformer than can rival the Mario series. It'll never happen.

I would hope Microsoft learned their lesson with the 360, and put the Xbox One through every test imaginable to prevent something like that from happening again. But you never know I guess.

Guys, I pre-ordered my xbox one in August~ at GAME in the UK. At the time it wasn't a Day One version. I swear I saw a press release where MS were putting out more xbox's and that all previous pre orders were upgraded to Day One versions.

I can't find anything on it, and I've had no confirmation of anything (guess cos I ordered in store). I suppose I will find out launch day.

I can guarantee RROD was such a rare phenomenon it will never happen again but broken consoles happen and there's no reason to freak out about it.

I've been wanting a game like that on a home console for years. I first thought maybe the Wii would do it using the Wii Fit Board, then I thought maybe Wii U but nothing has happened with it.

Do you guys remember that awesome arcade game where you stood in the middle of this little area with sensors around, you are standing on a pad I think too, and you stood up with one of the arcade guns and ducked down to go behind cover, leaned each way to look out of cover, and all of that? One of my favorite arcade games ever but I can never remember the name of it sadly. Surely others here remember it too!

Somehow this thread just made me want to buy an Xbox One for my Birthday next year. :lol

I'm happy to wait a year as I've preordered the PS4 but this is the generation where I don't want to miss out on anything now.

You need to look the reveal video, all the testing, and we know that MS is using the sigma 6 method.
