6/10 Crimson Dragon!

Game Informer, kinda low :/

 

[pocketaces]

Managed to get a Day 1 edition with Fifa.

Phew.

 

[Final Boss]

Reviews are up?

 

[Kajiba]

It's Time.

 

[ElTorro]

I'm pretty sure there is a mount on it where you can place it on your TV but a wall mount is not included.

AFAIK, you cannot put it on a TV without an additional mount. That mount I linked exists specifically for that purpose. I never owned the first Kinect, but I think the situation was the same there.

 

[VE3TRO]

New post with reviews.

 

[chugen]

dead rising 3 getting nice score

 

[Marvel]

I expected a 7 for DR3 though I know I'll have more fun than a 7 personally.

 

[FrankT]

Kotaku Dead Rising 3: Yes

Can't seem to pull IGNs.

 

[TechnicPuppet]

Generally great reviews for XB1 games so far.

Gameinformer review says DR3 ran with never a hiccup. Gamespot complains of slowdown. Edge say a patch fixed it. I hope they're right.

 

[GuitarAtomik]

You guys probably know more about Xbone games than I do, so please explain to me what is so innovative about Titanfall?

[ShinAmano]

yes there is. So you can continue to use any headphones you bought in the past minus the mic part.

Is this the same optical out that sends sound to a receiver?

 

[Riky]

Edge reviews of Dead Rising and Killer Instinct have put my mind at ease, Friday can't come soon enough now.

 

[Miles X]

Damn they're scoring better than I expected! Loads of 8's for KI, Zoo Tycoon and DR3

I'll take Edge in this one. Not sure if Gamespot reviewed before or after said patch.

 

[T.O.P]

Couldn't have hoped for better reviews so far, and tomorrow is Forza 5 Day

 

[Kacho]

Solid reviews for the most part. Happy to hear the games I was most interested in are great, other than Crimson Dragon. That's the only shocker to me.

Powerstar?

You sure about that? I've seen a lot of official MS videos where it sits on the TV without any additional mount...

 

[Sikamikanico]

You are about 2 days to late bud. I'm getting forza retail bundled with the console so I have an extra code from the day 1 edition. Ill drop you a PM if the guy I planned to trade with drops out

If by a chance I get the Forza instead of the FIFA bundle I'll do a swap since I was buying Forza anyway on disc.

Thanks guys - hope one of them drops out! Football bores me to tears!

To be fair, I'm not that big a fan of racing games either, but the missus wants it, so you'd be doing me a favour!

FUUUUUU

Wow reviews are all over the place...Dead Rising 3 and KI are reviewing pretty good, but Crimson and Lococycle go from 4s to 8s and back down again...nuts

 

[Winterfang]

I'm excited for system reviews. Specially Verge's, their PS4 review was amazing.

 

[Black Mantis]

Good showing so far. Will be getting DR3, KI, Zoo Tycoon for definite and will take a punt on CD (I want to see it built specifically for the X1) and Powerstar Golf at some point later.

 

[Alpende]

Where are the Ryse reviews?

 

[Miles X]

Well, Shack news can go fuck themselves.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

Not until Thursday, sadly.

I jest, don't get your knickers in a twist Hoo Doo.

Dead Rising 3 - 6

How is Lococycle outscoring Knack ... the latter looks way better.

 

[danwarb]

The complaint in KI reviews seems to be lack of content and story mode. Still scoring well, and those things are coming.

Game must be awesome.

 

[ironcreed]

I'm not surprised at the reviews. There are some genuinely solid looking games in the launch line-up. A great variety as well.

 

[FrankT]

What day for the multiplats?

And I'm not sure where IGNs DR3 review went. They posted a link twitter which was dead and then removed the tweet.

 

[Winterfang]

Some serious review score disparity, damn.

It's not that mixed.

7-8 for Dead Rising, 7-8 for KI. Ass-Shit for Lococycle.

Its Call of Duty with a double jump and wall running.(and mechs)

 

[hawk2025]

Any word yet on whether Twitch stream in day one?

 

[Marvel]

Considering KI has no story yet and few fighters it's combat must be the tits to get 7/8's. Excited!

 

[Domcorleone]

These reviews making me happy I kept my preorder. I'm having fun with killzone and knack despite tepid reviews so in sure I'll have a good time with these X1 games

 

[FrankT]

Still awaiting official word. Thinking maybe not at launch as folks have been asking.

 

[SLIM v3n0m]

I agree. To be honest, I never considered buying this game. But now seeing all these positive reviews, I am seriously considering it. Congrats to the devs!
