Re: Xbox One

Twitch is far better, and more popular (gaming wise) than ustream (more competition, famous youtubers on twitch ...)

Ustream is not exclusive to the PS4, and i'm pretty sure twitch said the PS4 was also a possibility so ... we'll see. But as of now, MS got a nice deal.

With the PS Eye not coming with the PS4 this will greatly hurt this feature for PS4, I don't see it being very popular on the PS4 because of this. TWITCH will take off on the XO like Mics did for Xbox Live because the Kinect comes with it.

Re: Xbox One

How exactly is amazon still taking day one preorders after everything that's been said about the esram and low supply

Maybe they still haven't hit the maximum that Microsoft gave them.

You don't need the PSEye/Kinect for Twitch/UStream.

Those that want it for streaming will buy it. It works plenty fine on the PC without a webcam.

Wait. What does having a physical camera have to do with streaming gameplay footage? I fail to see how the Kinect will give some sort of advantage in the streaming of someone's game.

News: Microsoft has confirmed that they will have an adapter to allow you to use your Xbox 360 headset on Xbox One.

That is great news.

It's common to do both at the same time. Often people arent just streaming gameplay, but answering questions and stuff on camera.

I imagine twitch will be bombarded with a bunch of half assed broadcasts if anything.

Guys who already "made it" on twitch already have the equipment so the console wont affect them all that much really. But there will definitely be a large sea of new channels popping up on twitch with this xbox integration, same as ustream and PS4.

Re: Xbox One

I've always been a one console person. But I have to ask the guys that have multiple consoles, how well does that work? I couldn't imagine trying to switch control schemes on a daily basis. I'd constantly be making mistakes! It's got to be a heck of an adjustment. Albeit brief for those versed in it, but an adjustment nonetheless.

Simple I use my 360 controller for both my PS3 and 360. Lol.

When I do use my PS3 controller it really not bad until I play a shooter that doesnt allow you to switch the R2/L2 to R1/L1. Then I just get rid of the game. (Yes its that big of a problem.)

Re: Xbox One

It's not Xbone news but it is great news though...

Microsoft no longer charges developers to patch their Xbox 360 games

There are caveats, we understand. If a developer is deemed to be making an excessive number of re-submissions due to an update failing certification, for example, Microsoft reserves the right to issue a charge. But the changes should make critics of Microsoft's closed platform happier - and align the Xbox ecosystem more closely with the likes of Steam.

Freaking finally. A developer shouldn't have to choose between fixing their game and paying 50k a patch.

There is a lot of picture in picture programming with Twitch. Maybe the Kinect/Eye will help with that.

Some of the content is way over my head. These turn based games, where the commentary is flowing, are crazy.

Twitch already has half-assed stuff. It's not like the PC is immune to it. Sure, we will see some silly things pop up when the consoles are in full stream, but it has good potential. Yesterday I was watching these two guys running commentary on some tournament or something. They are sitting there in suits and ties, and running really good commentary on Starcraft. It was odd but also cool at the same time.

I think for sports gaming this really can be something worthwhile. You could have fight cards set up where you have a commentary team, contribute to tournaments and leagues. There are a lot of geeky possibilities!

Oh dude, yes... the eSports commentators are pretty crazy. I watch plenty of Twitch everyday - though when I'm watching tournament matches I prefer to not have anyone on the screen, just a full view of the game.

Re: Xbox One

A developer shouldn't release games that need 3-4 patches.
Adding additional content..? Ok.
Fixing issues , no.
That's just the world we live in now though. Release it to make a deadline and charge 60.00 for unfinished product... fix later.

Either way this past gen I mostly waiting until after release to sort out the crap from semi quality.

In a utopian world yes, I agree.
