Xbox One

Re: Xbox One

I'm actually close to cancelling my Xbox One pre-order. I think the PS4 game line up is much better right now. I'm interested in Titanfall but I'm more interested in Killzone, The Order, and Planetside 2. Plus, I got my 360 to use for WatchESPN and the WWE PPV app. I think I'm going to wait a year or two on the Xbox One. I'm hoping to see another Gears of War and that's a game that I'd be willing to buy an Xbox One to play.

Edit: The one big thing that is holding me back is the fact that most of my friends seem to be going the Xbox One route. But I don't really play with friends all that much anymore so it doesn't feel as significant as it used to.

I've been struggling with this decision since E3. I switched back and forth on pre-orders about 6 times already, I kid you not. Made the decision today to go, and stay with PS4. Most everyone I know is switching over, especially my Battlefield buddies and PS4 line up is far more impressive to me.

What sucks, is that I wont get the PS4 on launch. I have the Xbox paid off on Amazon so I'll have to cancel that and pre-order the Standard Edition. Unlikely, but I hope they get more Launch Edition allotment.

Check out walmart, target, Toys R Us. You can still find it.

Thing is, I bought a gift card on Amazon to pay off the Xbox, so Amazon is my only option. I don't mind waiting cause I'll be playing GTA 5, but hopefully it won't be to long after launch edition.

Re: Xbox One

Just pre-ordered the Xbox One on Amazon, but I'm thinking about switching it to Target to get the "launch day" edition. I'm guessing I'll have to shell out a little more money, but I'm okay with that if it means getting it a month or two earlier.

IGN recap from the Xbox SDCC panel: http://m.ign.com/articles/2013/07/20/the-future-of-xbox

Much of it covered before, my favorite part:

"We've already covered some of the Smartglass integration in Microsoft's Ryse, but producer Justin Robey was on hand to discuss how Smartglass can display where your friends are in each of their games and can help you prep multiplayer sessions without having to load the game first. So if you're playing Ryse, you can invite a bunch of your friends to a Dead Rising match, and will be notified in Ryse when all players are ready.

Nick Burton, lead of new technology at Rare, introduced the topic of Kinect, and how the fidelity had not been "quite there" in the previous generation. It could track about 20 points on the body. The Xbox One is about 10x the resolution of the current version and can read the folds in your face and discriminate among your fingers even at 3 meters. Hand positions can now be read for better fidelity in bowling and rock climbing games. The team have even created a target shooting game that uses your hand and eye positions in place of an actual light gun.

As amazing as that is, Nick had even more surprises. He showed a Kinectic produced mask of his own face that can the be mapped to in-game models. Rather than the gamer pic versions of yourself in games like Rainbow Six, you can now import your own face geometry and even your BMI onto character models in the games. The whole game also tracks your face during gameplay and will reproduce your real life facial expressions on the in game models.

All these features are so-called system level features and will be available to any game that chooses to use them."

Translating what some of those capabilities could mean to Madden and other sports games... exciting stuff.

I am still up in the air on which console I will buy. One day it's xbox one, the next day it's ps4. Thankfully, there's a lot of good games still to come on current gen, so I will wait until spring/summer next year to make my decision.

Now that is pretty interesting and cool. Especially with how most games are incorporation RPG elements now and allowing you to customize your character. Honestly, this is the first thing I've heard about Kinect that interests me. It still doesn't make me want to pay $100 extra for this feature though.

Thank god for overtime being available at work because I was in the same boat and finally decided I'm just going to work extra so I can get both at launch.

Re: Xbox One

So do we know if your Xbox Live sub will work for both the 360 and Xbox One?
I assume you have to pay separately for each but haven't read or heard for sure.

[mestevo]

Yes, same fee/service, and you only need one gold account per One. Benefits will be available to others on the same Xbox One.

2k i'm really hoping you guys put this to use...having myself in My Player/Career and the WWE games would really be lovely. Actually any developer that lets you use created players should be using this

Wow if you don't know ask somebody...especially if so many people are going to see it

Re: Xbox One

Anyone else surprised we haven't got a release date yet?

I mean I thought MS might get ahead of some of their bad pub that they're turning around and announce an early release date to get out in front of Sony...

If they announce first and to early that leaves room for Sony to undercut them on the release date also. They will probably wait till it would be to late to change the release date.

Re: Xbox One

Yeah I see that but I thought they might announce a very early November release date...can't see Sony releasing in October so it might save them from being undercut.
