Re: Xbox One

Could not disagree with this more. I love having a play and charge kit and batteries as an option. My Xbox controllers last much longer than my dual shocks battery wise. When my play and charge kit goes low I just use a controller with batteries until it’s charged. Never have to worry about forgetting to charge a controller that way.

yea my xbox controllers last for days, way better than PS4

Re: Xbox One

Yeah, no way to internal batteries. Also leads to the worst docks too because they have to line up all perfectly into the plug and bracket and it's all awkward like prom night. My elite and my Xbox controllers just rest in cradles, it's great. Don't see how someone could advocate for fewer options. You can buy a play and charge and pretend it's an internal.

No HDR for horizon 3 right? Just want to make sure I use correct picture settings tonight.

It's always been in HDR.

And batteries lose their charge over time. I'd rather replace the battery than the controller.

And the internal battery for the PS4 controller sucks. It's the biggest reason I don't play more of the PS4 now. If I haven't played in awhile, I can be sure the controller is sitting there dead.

Re: Xbox One

I wish Xbox would move to internal controller batteries like PS4.

I hope this doesn't happen either. I have Energizer rechargeable batteries and keep 2 in my controller and 4 on deck for when the controller dies. They were pretty cheap too and I get about 6 to 8 hours out of one charge.

Eurogamer - Microsoft plots Fable return

Work is underway on a brand new, big-budget Fable game, Eurogamer can reveal.

Fable franchise owner Microsoft has tasked UK developer Playground, which makes the Forza Horizon racing games for Xbox and PC, with creating this new Fable, sources close to the project have told Eurogamer. Microsoft said in a statement it does not comment on rumour or speculation.

We've heard the new Fable is planned as a story and character-focussed open-world action RPG. A significant investment in its development is also planned, with some 200 people set to work on the game at Playground's newly-established second office in Leamington Spa, Warwickshire.

Don't expect to play this new Fable any time soon, however. We've heard it's early days in terms of development, with Playground currently staffing up the team from double digits to its triple digit target.

We've heard Microsoft's rekindled interest in Fable was in part inspired by Sony's phenomenal success with Guerrilla Games' PlayStation 4-exclusive Horizon Zero Dawn. As of June 2017, Guerrilla's story-driven, single-player open-world action RPG had sold over 3.4m copies.

As for this new Fable, Playground is seen as a highly talented developer which has done fantastic work with the Forza series for Microsoft. Forza Horizon 3 was one of Xbox's biggest games of 2016, and the hope is the studio can make a high-quality Fable adventure once it brings in open-world RPG expertise.

This new Fable is seen as something of a clean break, and while all Fable Legends assets were backed up after Lionhead shut down, the expectation is Playground is starting from scratch as it bids to revive the Xbox-exclusive franchise.

Re: Xbox One

Does anyone have any idea why we have not seen any backward compatible football games other then Tecmo? I like going back and playing the older Madden games , not to mention NCAA and NFL 2k . I hate using my 360 because now it sounds like a B1 bomber taking off. What's the deal with this? Do you think we will ever see this?

I can't play NFL 2K5 on my X? I thought all games were BC compatible as long as you have the disc version? If I'm wrong then damn that's kind of disappointing because I played 2k5 on the 360 all the time.

Not all games, they have to add them to the BC. A lot of older games have license issues and all that that keep them from BC (which is why NCAA will probably never be on there).

The way MS got BC working was to alter the software of the game. This creates a new product that they do not have the right to distribute. So they get the approval of the publishers.

Sprts games are the most difficult, because that new product means they need agreements from more entities, and that sometimes require more money, which makes it a no go. Moreover, they only serve to hurt the sales of current sports games, so the publishes have less of a reason to approve them.

At least with Microsoft, this should no longer be an issue going forward. All games will be compatible with future Xbox consoles.

Re: Xbox One

Even games with soundtracks are impacted. It definitely sucks. I would love for Tony Hawk 3 to be playable on my X. Really no chance of it happening.
