Was at the new Microsoft Store opening in OKC tonight. First hands one experience with XBOX One and played a little Forza 5. Game looks so much better in person, and the controller... I love the 360 controller, but the XBOX One controller blows it out of the water.
Also met MajorNelson tonight...
Friday can't come fast enough!
What did you guys chat about ?

Damn.. so I guess the X1 makes 5.1 sound to stereo sound? But there's a beta to have it 5.1? What's this beta stuff? Make it mandatory. I don't want my movies and sports on Direct tv brought down to stereo sound. This makes no sense.

This whole day, I've been thinking about Forza 5 and KI. Even while playing my PS4 (which I love), I couldn't shake that I wished it was the 22nd already. I'm having a great time with NBA 2k14 and going to finally play AC: BF tomorrow. I was tempted to get NFS but knew that I would never play it after this Friday comes.
Too many good games and new consoles but not enough hours in a day.This Thanksgiving and Christmas season is going to be interesting between using the XB1, PS4 and WiiU. I hope I can add a lot of you guys on XBL.

So besides the core functionalities of kinect2 for the casual market ie: voice commands for tv, internet etc... What could hardcore gamers expect from kinect? I want this type of integration:
Wow that sucks. I agree i dont want my movies and sports in stereo either.
Kinect Rivals has been delayed till Spring 2014.
aw nothin. Just plaid stuff I guess.
New York Times is the only one to mention this at all and we don't know if this is going to like this after launch update.
Kinect Sports Preseason is on launch.
Hey, you misspelled played. Plaid is a type of pattern, silly!

A possible Titanfall 2 would really be no less awesome a game on the Xbox One. I think there's a great overestimation of just how much the larger audience sweats the petty stuff. A game being a higher resolution or possibly having an extra graphical effect is awesome if that's the platform you have the game for, but a lot of people simply won't care or lose a bit of sleep over it. They care about two things. Does the game look awesome on the platform they're getting it for, and is the performance good?
Forza, Dead Rising and Ryse being forgettable launch games is purely for each individual to determine for themselves. We simply don't know that yet. Forza 5 having dedicated servers for MP, more cars on the road, along with the very promising looking cloud based Drivator AI suggests that Forza may not be so forgettable at all. I'm also sure people once thought that the original Dead Rising would be forgettable the first time it showed up on the 360 as well, but here we are at the Xbox One launch, it's the third game in the franchise, and it's one of the most exciting and anticipated games at launch. For Ryse's part, that's a pretty badass looking game with very promising looking sequel potential in a fictional setting not explored nearly as much as many people would like to see. If nothing else, I can see it being a cult favorite among quite a few Xbox One owners. Those kinds of games are super rare in the Xbox first party stable, so I can certainly see some remembering Ryse in a very positive light. That is if it's as good as I suspect it will be.
As far as I know that's definitely inaccurate.
Wow, it's like old school Troma (but probably a lot milder). Could be a fun watch!
That's free and only has jet skiing though, right?
The fact that he says there's a menu option to turn on 5.1...makes it sound like any other console in that it has audio/video options.
Ah I see, now it all makes sense. I thought they were a slipcase or steelbook for some reason. Thank you!

I hope so man. Editor in Chief from Kotaku responded to me saying he wrote that and that it's true... but that there's some beta you can be in to make it 5.1.. So I guess there's still that.
Consider me signed up for that beta. No way am I going backwards in sound.
That isn't confirmed. I just think it makes sense for it to be the back covers. That is if that picture is real or not.
god, what is the hell is this LocoCycle nonsense? I'm not one to judge games on their graphics alone, but yikes does this look bad. dat BEARD engine isn't looking too hot.
I want to give it the benefit of the doubt, but all the video coverage ive seen has just left me shaking my head. and I liked splosion man, the maw, and gunstringer.

Any idea what this is? Looks like the controller is a shield when you bring it up.

That's really cool. Major Nelson is an awesome guy. Would like to meet him some day. It's kind of strange, but most of my teen years was on an Xbox 360. So I remember Major Nelson all the way back to Highschool.
It's a internal Kinect 2 demo that they used to show off some of its capabilities.

I am pretty much just going to get drunk and play Dead Rising or Titanfall when I get my xbone. Thats pretty much how its gonna be.

That looks fun. Can't wait to see where the new Kinect goes. Especially since developers know all users will have it.

Still some lag in the kinect it seems. Or that could be the sensitivity setting.
Lloyd Kaufman is even there! Looks great.
It might just be a threshold thing. It looks like the leaning in that demo isnt full analog and there might only be three positions. The Kinect leaning in Battlefield looked really good in the Giantbomb video and was more of a 1 to 1 thing.

Yeah there is some latency seen, i think it was discussed here months ago. Interesting because that demo came out before the xbox one had the cpu upclock, so i wonder if it's better now.
I noticed him too! He and Gunn are old Troma cohorts, that's a big reason for my Troma tingles.
Yeah
Where are u guys getting these gifs from? source?

It is only a demo. BF4 is a game.
What is Trophy rariry?
On Xbox One we will have challenges
It shows you how many people have that particular trophy i.e. "360 people have unlocked 'Seriously 3.0' for Gears of War 3"
Yes, I know.

Isn't this the same thing?
Is that saying 86% of players who own the game have completed it, that the average of all those players have completed 86% of it, or 86% of players have a particular achievement? I'm just confused since it says 60/60.
If it's the latter, it looks like it's a similar system as long as it's retroactive to XBox360 achievements, except there are no designations of "Common", "Uncommon", "Rare", "Ultra Rare", etc.
Isn't this the same thing?
I think that's just game completion. I THINK that Trophy Rarity is for specific Trophies.
Tapping your temple to change the visor/visual scan is pretty amazing.
