We have to wait till spring (tier 2 country here)

I'm most exited for Xbox fitness can you believe that?

If it works like advertised it will be amazing.

Forza, Zoo Tycoon and Fitness are what I'm looking forward to, I wouldn't be surprised after seeing the comments in the xbox fitness thread is other members are excited mostly about fitness too.

Yeah, but he came. Too fast again.

[Wishmaster92]

Just saw my first Ryse commercial. Looks good but is there a supernatural element to it?

My hype meter would go crazy if there was more to it than just the Roman stuff.

During this twitch stream segment, they explain why Marius can swim in his armor "Because he is gifted specially by summer/winter" and they had to cut off the part where he talks to summer during the stream because she is probably naked.

There will probably be supernatural elements but not to the extent as say a god of war title.

 

[dancrane212]

JFG...

Where's my sequel, MS/Rare? Such bullshit that they haven't attempted to reboot the series. Could be, no, would be amazing.

They're all a bunch of miserable teases.

 

[Timu]

X1 games I'm getting at launch:

Dead Rising 3
Killer Instinct
Crimson Dragon

 

[FUNKNOWN iXi]

Reload animations in PDZ are still unmatched imo. How did Rare manage to make them so smooth?

PDZ could've benefited from faster/better movement options because that game was pretty damn fun IMO. Criminally underappreciated, especially when compared back to Playstation 3 and 4's launches.

Kameo's another one.

 

[Poker Face]

According to the one in San Antonio, they're going to have a DJ, Xbox ones set up, and pizza. Sounds like a lot of fun.

BTW, what are the stores that are holding the KI tourney?

University Village – Seattle, Washington.
Fashion Valley Mall - San Diego, California.
Park Meadows Mall - Lone Tree, Colorado.
Houston Galleria – Houston, Texas
Florida Mall – Orlando, Florida.
Burlington Mall – Burlington, Massachusetts.

Prizes

• One Grand Prize winner will be rewarded with an Xbox One console, all of the launch titles, 1 year of Xbox Live Gold membership, and a trip to Jacksonville, Florida, to compete against the other winners. The "Killer Instinct Fastest Fighter Champion" showdown will be hosted by Major Nelson on Saturday, November 23rd, and each of the 1st place winners that compete will partake in a meet and greet with Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, who will be performing near the Microsoft store.

• Second place winners will receive all of the Xbox One launch titles, a 1 year subscription to Xbox Live Gold, and a $1,000 Microsoft Store gift card.

• Third place winners will be given all of the Xbox One launch titles, and a year of Xbox Live Gold.

I'm not sure what time I should go to get in line, I just read that first 50 people get a gift.

 

[Family Fry]

Xbox Fitness does look very nicely done and it's free for a year, may as well get the use out of it.

Xbox fitness will be my regime after having a fat Christmas and new year celebration.

More Perfect Dark. The cartoonish art style was horrible, but the animations and motion blur were top notch. And the variety of the weapons....man. We need another one.

One of my favorite things about PDZ. I remember pointing out how awesome they were to a friend when the 360 launched and he was like, "whoa! you're right!". I wish more FPS games had kickass reload animations like that.

Same here.

 

[Sub_Level]

I'm actually considering not activating Gold for another month or two. I mean with Ryse, CD, and DR3 there seems to be enough singleplayer stuff to go around. Plus you know that on Black Friday there will be cheap Gold deals.

Patience.

Thanks alot. That's actually pretty much enough info to make me buy it lol, I really love games like that.

 

[LTWheels]

@IOnEI_Falcon: @XboxP3 @RareLtd With Gears taking a break on the Xbox, now might be a great time to re-introduce Jet Force Gemini eh?

@XboxP3: @IOnEI_Falcon @RareLtd This made me laugh, for some reason I thought about JFG done in the Gears art style.

 

[Backfoggen]

Retail I'm getting Dead Rising 3, Ryse and Battlefield 4.
Digital stuff I'll decide what's the most interesting on launch. Could take a while to DL tho lol.

Handsome bugger.

 

[The Flash]

Flash, you still waiting or are you jumping in at launch?

Me at launch

Spoiler

If I can find one that is

That Cboat thread where folks were talking about the OS not working and some personal situation things gave me cold feet and I cancelled my pre-order. Now that the OS seems to be working fine (Microsoft is a software company after all) and I've resolved my personal concerns, I definitely want to get one on the 22nd. I talked to the manager of my local GameStop about an hour ago on the phone and he said that I could try getting one at around 5-6pm on the 21st when everyone else who has a pre-order is paying theirs off. He said that they had a couple of PS4s available for folks this way so I'm hoping that I'll be able to get an XB1 since I imagine PS4s are in higher demand. I've got my fingers crossed. Hopefully everything will go well and I'll be playing 64 player BF4 in just a few days time.

Agreed.

And I also agree!

 

[Steelyuhas]

That looks surprisingly good for an 8 year old game. I certainly wouldn't be against Rare doing another PD, although something other than an FPS probably makes sense for MS's first party portfolio.

Damn, even on screencaps of a shitty stream that looks great. Dat water.

I may end up picking up Ryse simply because I love the settings and it's gorgeous.

lol

She's an angel right? cup runneth over.

lol, just noticed.

Can't unsee.

Yeah, but he came. Too fast again.

Same here.

If they were to reboot the series, then it would be awesome if they took influence from Deus ex and Mirrors Edge.

I didn't like how PDZ was essentially nothing but shooting. Joanna Dark is a spy, so it would make sense if there were more options to compete each objective.

Yo, this aint no DS4, what's with the blue?!

Should be pink

PDZ was awesome!

Had no idea there was thing much stuff going on inside the controller. Guts look complicated.

 

[CrunchinJelly]

The blue in that LED is so faint it's hard to tell that it's even been changed.

[Twin Tails]

Cyclone Reload Animation is unmatched

 

[Papercuts]

OG Perfect Dark had some cool reloads too.

Wish more games would do crazier stuff with weapons.

 

[Sub_Level]

Ever since Half-Life the SPAS and it's sci-fi variations are easily my favorite weapon in shooters. HL2 was even better and Modern Warfare 2 just absolutely sealed the deal. Never played PDZ but this one is great. James Cameron seems to love it too.

edit: oh shit on the one where she uses the scope thing you can even see her left pinkie go up a little :3 O_O

That's what I just thought. White looks good, blue looks weak, but green could look great.

Actually, could it have been possible to have Blue, Yellow, Green and Red for the guide to distinguish players? Or would that have been too complicated, or cheesy.

 

[SegaShack]

Yes, I see the charge as pending now on my CC, it begins!

 

[Dai101]

Watching that video is like porn to me. I need to know if this controller has common ground to hack/add to present fight sticks.

That reminds me, the player identification is gone, right? That's a bit weird.

There is no need for that anymore really. Kinect can tell who has what controller.

Sucks for those that don't plug it in tho ...

Yeah, I understand. The overwhelming negativity a few weeks ago was pretty tough to bear.

I wish you the best next Thursday/Friday. Hope you can join us all.

 

[dejay]

To be fair it may be the camera not picking it up properly. Still, I think blue LEDs are overdone these days and are so noughties. Give me amber LEDs any day.

 

[Twilight Gap]

The way the circle lights up is sexy.

 

[quickwhips]

Does anyone else expect MS launch to go smoother than Sony? I'm thinking Xbox Live will stay up. But does that mean lol no one bought one or MS = Batman Prep Time?

 

[malfcn]

Correct, the IR LEDs in the controller map the pad to a player with their settings. There is no more ring of light on the console and pad to id players. Those that don't use Kinect will likely have another way to tell though.

Xbox One is getting a WW launch remember, more people will be on XBL than PSN. So we shall see! MS are far better prepped a tthis kinda thing tho, given it's their bread and butter.

MS has the Cloud service, their launch will flow easy breezy!

 

[Kerub]

My mind gets syntax error when I think about how next-gen Halo might look.

True, I don't expect it to work smoothly though. You know, setting the controller aside, going away, coming back, picking one up again while my buds play, come and go..

Not a huge social gamer, but I can see it getting confusing at times.

I mean, personally, I'm pretty confident. There is that supposed "ass storm" that's coming, so we'll see if that turns out to be anything significant, I guess?

Xbox Live will probably have some issues, but other than that who knows... It'll be a launch.

This gif is incredible. haha

 

[DrEvil]

Microsoft Store charged my card this morning.. wonder if they'll ship monday and maybe I'll have it early.. Hmm

Wouldn't call it Worldwide, as for Europe, the half of it won't get any. But yeah, probably more units.

multiple continents = WW launch
