I put the scores PS4 and WiiU got from the verge on one image to compare. Where do you think Xbox One will replace in respective category's?

Here are the reviews for both if anybody wants to read, they're quite in depth.

Verge PS4 Review - 7.7

Verge WiiU Review - 7.0

Design- 6.5- Should get knocked for being so large. I don't care if MS did that to prevent another RRoD, it's still a downside. Aesthetically it's ok.

Software- 8-9- Depending on well the different apps work. It should be higher then both PS4 or WiiU, since it has the most apps at launch.

Game Selection- 8-8.5- Good lineup, depends on game scores.

Controls- 7.5-9- We know the controller will be well recieved, but if the kinect dosn't work as well as advertised the control score could take a big hit.

Performance- 7-7.5- Should take a big hit for lack of power, could make up or lose ground depending on how smooth the UI is.

Heat/Noise- 8-8.5- Probably similar to the PS4 since the Blu-ray players are the noisiest parts of them, maybe a little cooler.

Final score- 7.2-8.2

 

[Fahrenheit]

Gonna buy Dead Rising, Forza, KI day one. Hope the severs can handle the load.

Xbox One is supposed to be completely inaudible outside of gaming and that could be huge points.

 

[Dai101]

That's a lotta Xbox Ones.

Need to steal that truck

 

[Wishmaster92]

That's a lotta Xbox Ones.

 

[Miles X]

Need to steal that truck

Hmm is it not one of those tour trucks??

 

[RocketSurgeryTV]

Hmm is it not one of those tour trucks??

Yep, that's one of the Area One Tour trucks. Probably still a lot of X1's in there.

 

[Gary Whitta]

So Crews is the new Banderas? I'd be okay with that.

 

[JrBaconCheeseburger]

I am very excited for xbox one this coming friday and i love my PS4.


Something about the UI and ability to plug in my DirectTV to it and freeing up an HDMI port sounds very appealing.


I am interested in trying the UI and i want to play KI.


I want to play that more than any launch title i got from PS4.

 

[nillapuddin]

That's a lotta Xbox Ones.

Were you there?
I went 3 of the 4 nights (San Francisco), won all the gift cards and t shirts.

Seriously cannot thank MS enough, this Xbox One tour was so freaking awesome

 

[Amir0x]

he's definitely not worn out his goddamn welcome like Banderas, that's for sure

Yeah don't underestimate getting back an HDMI port. I have a six-port receiver and it's always maxed out. I'm glad I won't have to unplug my Wii U to make room for the XB1 since my Xfinity 1 box will now pass through it.

 

[GavinGT]

Yeah, the guys went through several celebrities earlier in the thread, but all of them bordered on Milhouse forced meme territory. But Crews emerged victorious.

 

[scorpian007]

I'm hoping the HDMI In port will pass through DTS HD audio and Dolby True HD audio since I'll be plugging my HTPC into it (I never watch normal TV)

 

[gatti-man]

Im really excited for xbox fitness. That, ki, and dead rising 3 make me think $499 really isnt that bad.

 

[def sim]

So, Gamespot is doing a live stream of Xbox One games later this morning. 6AM PST/9AM EST

That's much earlier than I expected in a lot of ways.

 

[Gary Whitta]

This is pretty much going to be all Xbox all week. Tons of stuff every day culminating in me getting an Xbox One on Friday and playing the shit out of it all weekend. Then next week is Thanksgiving and I'm going to stuff my fucking fat face with turkey and pie and play more Xbox One. Life is pretty sweet right now.

That's when the embargo lifts. Going to be information overload in 7 hours.

 

[jizzlobber]

It's limited flash support. Approved sites etc. It's sort of like IE metro in Win8.

I'd be happy with that, wonder if candy crush will be playable

 

[Agent Icebeezy]

Good, can't wait.

Dem floodgates.

 

[BeFlatLine]

I'm still upset that the Xbox One Tour didn't come anywhere near Detroit, MI. Then again, it was kind of to be expected . . . they were probably afraid to be shot / robbed. Ha.

 

[Dai101]

[thunker 9000]

Its a long shot I know, but I just received a shipping notification from my XBO. It says they are shipping it next day air. If it shows up Tuesday or Wednesday do you think there is any risk of starting it up and playing some games? Or is Microsoft still banning people?

 

[scorpian007]

It's limited flash support. Approved sites etc. It's sort of like IE metro in Win8.

An update was released earlier this year which changed this behaviour to a blacklist instead of whitelist. All flash sites should work as long as they aren't on the blacklist.

 

[state_vector_collapse]

Super excited for Friday as well. Can't wait to get my Xbox

Will be nice to plug my Sky HD box through it and get an HDMI port back. Though it is a pity it will then mean watching TV using the Game setting on my Panny rather than the custom settings I use now. Unless I always switch viewing modes back and forth of course. But that's a small price to pay.

 

[Miles X]

Oh man, I hope Forza scores 90+ (Know we won't find out till wednesday)

i know it doesn't really mean anything, but every mainline entry has been 90+ which is amazing for any franchise. Shame to see it slip now.

 

[Gowans]

I can not wait till Friday, I have a long weekend off work to, it's going to be ace.

KI, BF4 & Forza are what I'll hit first.

 

[madmackem]

Dead Rising 3: "It looked really really nice and ran really well."



It's not, they said they will revisit it, I think this all but confirms that DF used a old build(probably Gamescom build which was known for frame issues.).

It wasnt as old as that, ms held an event in london a few days before the df went up so it will have been captured from that event so very very little chance of it being months old build. I think people just need to accept dr3 is at times going to run like utter shit, just accept it and enjoy the game for what it is.

Thanks. That's excellent news.

 

[scorpian007]

Indeed. I'm hoping this is the same for IE on Xbox, I can't see why it wouldn't be though.

 

[Cru]

Does anyone know if Amazon will be shipping games early?

 

[Domcorleone]

Can't wait. Hope the system is great and runs smooth. PS4 needs a companion in my house

 

[Penguins&PolarBears]

That's only how it was at launch. Since March all Flash sites work in IE by default on Windows 8 and RT. http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ie/archive/2013/03/11/flash-in-windows-8.aspx

I could certainly see some media companies (TV channels) wanting their websites blacklisted on Xbox IE because they want to control the app experience and which devices have access to their content.

 

[Ubersnug]

Does anyone know if Amazon will be shipping games early?

I'm hoping so. I have a preorder for the black skull edition of assassins creed 4 with them. Would like to have it ready before the midnight launch.

 

[Rockondevil]

Man the days are dragging waiting for my X1 to arrive D:

I was a fool and picked the delivery option not even thinking of going to the midnight launch (pre-ordered soo long ago), so chances are I won't even get it on Friday.
Fingers crossed it comes Friday and I can pick it up Saturday from the post office.

EBGames told me I could cancel it and reorder it at a store to get it at midnight, but I'd be forfeiting the Day One edition, I decided 1 more day can't kill me.... I hope.

And I am laughing my ass off at all the Crews GIF's. 100x better than Banderas.

 

[Rhindle]

Does anyone know if Amazon will be shipping games early?

Amazon follows street dates pretty religiously. Most 3rd party games should ship for Wednesday delivery. 1st party games, NFS and one or two others are Friday.

 

[cool_dude]

Pretty excited to have two Xbox Ones in the same house. My bro's going to have one in the living room area, and mine will be hooked up to the projector in the man cave. Gonna be a fun weekend!

 

[Guerrilla]

well I dug a little, and it seems COD:Ghosts does also support impulse triggers:

I hope this turns out true.

Only a little more than 6 hours left till the first reviews hit btw. woohoo

 

[Fahrenheit]

Till Kinect 2.0 extension cables come out I'm not gonna be able to put this thing where I want it.

 

[SRTtoZ]

As soon as I started reading your post I had jokes flying through my head but then you did it for me

 

[polyh3dron]

So Crews is the new Banderas? I'd be okay with that.

Because forcing Van Damme didn't work.

 

[malfcn]

Off to bed. Just about 4 days.

 

[Loiselle]

I'm jealous. I'm just getting up for work... ugh.

BUT, it just means we're THAT much closer to launch day!!!!!

Haha, I like the way you think Mr Whitta.

Also, get your ass back on the tested podcast... It's not the same without you.

 

[shungokusatsu]

Question - do XBL subs stack?

 

[Satchel]

Yeah I'm getting all fucking anxious and giddy now.

It's been sooooooooo long since my last console launch. Wii back in November 06. Fuck.

 

[Anticitizen One]

When you buy a digital xbox one game is it linked to your account or your console? Like what if I buy it at launch and buy crimson dragon and end up returning the system and getting an x1 down the road would I be able to redownload at that time?

Reason I ask is I think at one point digital 360 games were linked to the system which is why you had to do that annoying license/system transfer

 

[Loiselle]

Question - do XBL subs stack?

Up to 3 years worth, I believe. I know I had got in on a sale once where a 1 year dropped to $29.99. So I bought 2 extra on top of the one I had already used.

 

[addyb]

Review day today my fellow gaffers.
I stupidly cancelled my game pre order a few weeks ago and only just pre ordered again last week so my delivery is apparently before Xmas

Going mostly digital so looking like:

Dead Rising 3
Forza 5
Battlefield 4
Powerstar golf
Killer Instinct (freebie)

Pity I have to possibly wait another 5 weeks but Mario 3D and 3DS Zelda will ease the pain somewhat. I'm also playing BF4 on the 360 as well.

I cannot wait though!!!
