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.

I really want it to be straight up Roman shit, I'm sick of fantasy in my historical vidgames.

Cancelled my XB1 preorder from Newegg and sold my back-up from Amazon at cost to a fellow Gaffer. Now I'm sending back my PS4 because of the broken ones and have shit for the holidays.

Also forgot I have like $150 worth of MS points from the deal they had a while back so I would not even have to be out of pocket buying games.

I hope Amazon comes through with UPS. That truck better come early, and that driver better be cradling it like the Holy Grail.

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

It's a staggered release though due to timezones. For instance, 4 days and 14 hours away for me (Australia). If I get it at Midnight then it shouldn't be too hard to at least get the 500MB patch before Europe jumps in. By the time Europe launch comes around, it should give us an idea of how the servers are holding up.

Funtimes. Got an automated call from Visa saying my Microsoft Store purchase was declined. Visa call fixed it in 2 mins. Got an email from MS tore soon after about the decline, and click to reapply payment info. Failed. Called Visa, no problem on their end, they didn't get another authorization request. Then I had to call Microsoft store support.......

...2 hours later, I finally got talked to someone, and had to jump through some hoops. Looks like I'm still getting it day one. Fingers crossed. A tip or those dealing with the MS store problems. Obviously this is a super busy week for support, so If you can't get through to the normal MS store support line, try the MS main support number @ 1-800-642-7676.

Yeah sorry :) But feels so bad that we're not getting any of that coolness officially for probably until next November, while PS4 does launch here on the 29th.

Where are you?

I don't think it'll be as late as November for 'Tier 2' countries and even 'Tier 3' (Is there a tier 3? ...)

I heard around Spring for Tier 2.

I know right? I think I will stick with the default led lol although good to know the sticks are easy to replace.

Unfortunately (for you and I at least) the supernatural stuff is already confirmed. The degree to which it is prevalent, however, I do not know.

you can control most of your set top box functions through voice and controller inputs - pause, rewind etc. You can search and use the integrated Xbox one channel guide, which uses your DirecTV schedule.

if you have a situation like mine, where your significant other prefers the TiVo control and guide until she gets used to the new features, just say Xbox, live tv" and (in your case) pass her the DirecTV remote and at that point its just a DirecTV. Make sense?

so if while on my TiVo guide in full screen I say "Xbox go home" the TiVo view and grid will appear windowed in my Xbox one dash.

mine is also set up to turn my tv and receiver on and off - you can tinker with that to suit yourself.

I imagine that the depth of functionality and macro style control will improve.

Is there any chance that MS could integrate LAN controls? That works great for TiVo on iPad, and that would allow the Xbox to see all your recordings (great for cross media search), start a recording playing, or even set up new recordings.

Tier 3, Hungary, hopefully some stores do import and launch parties but we do not have any official source on how can we use Live at all.

Had the same with the 360 until '07 November. Until 2010 we could only create foreign accounts to play, with fake adresses. Now there is migration if we have to do something like that.

I don't mod stuff because I am the type of person that would probably mess it up. But I do like seeing stuff inside, and what other people can do with their courage.

"I'm never EVER touching an XBO... unless it's to pick it up and toss it as far as i can."

Why are you even in this thread?

Some people thrive on negativity in their lives, aren't happy if they aren't pissing in someone else's cheerios.

btw guys, I read some page ago about zoo tycoon, and I searched a bit about it...
looks like it will be the best game for kids across the board (and my wife, if I ever dont want to use the bone)
here's a video, dont know if it has been posted:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HerF95Ewhwo
basically national geographics "zoopedia", 1080p with nice animal fur shaders, uses the large memory for large zoo's etc
nice presentation if you where in the black about this game like I was...

Because even though i don't care for the XBO ( i do however prefer the UI over the PS4's), i think the thread title should highlight one of the systems highlights over an issue. Just imagine the following Xbox 360 Launch Thread | RROD's ain't that Bad... or something.

What a crap comparison. The resolution is fine. You making out it's on par with RROD is N4G fanboy levels ....

I'm now interested. Does that mean I can fight realistic looking mythological beasts?

I dunno, I see a weak link in that list :p hopefully I'm wrong.

I wouldn't be surprised although I wouldn't expect to see that through 90% of the game like let's say God of War. I'm thinking its gonna be more like the Uncharted games (which a lot of people forget are fantasy because it's always concentrated at the end)
