Xbox One

Re: Xbox One

I'm doing the opposite, leaving the xbox one in the living room so my son can mess with it and keeping the ps4 in the den for uninterrupted The Show.

Yeah, the man cave was actually built for me and my son so I have my PS4 in the living room and he has his PS4 in the man cave. As of right now the XBONE is in the living room, but im not sure how long thats going to last because he's already begging me to put it in the cave..

Re: Xbox One

I keep hearing people consistently make the comment or remark...PS4 feels more like a game console...WTF does that mean....

I own both and they both are game consoles, so my Xbox One having more features, makes it less than a gamer console, seriously?

And I keep hearing the same garbage oh the PS4 has better graphics, so I went that route, give me a break...it's hit and miss....and rotates both ways.

Multiplats

BF4 - Nearly identical, brighter on PS4 and more lighting effects. Xbox One version details are heavier and colors are more rich...

FIFA 14 - Darker on PS4 and 2% maybe smaller player models and polygon crowd....Xbox One version better details to everything, looks like EA played favorites.
NFS Rivals, colors and lighting better on PS4! Partical effects and crash effects better on Xbox One and colors are more dark...
Madden 25, almost identical, except Xbox One version is brighter and runs smoother and less jaggies, also loads faster than PS4.

COD - Looks 10x better on PS4 and running in 1080p instead of 720p, games plays the same - no difference in gameplay.

They both have the same exact 3rd party games, so making a statement it feels more like a gaming console makes no sense. That's where I don't get the logic.

I'm enjoying both, and still waiting on Second Son and MLB the Show 14, which were my primary reason of getting PS4. And of course the future The Order 1886.

Right now I'm playing both and rotating both, the only reason my Xbox is on more is because I'm game capturing with upload studio and I have more games on the XB1 at the moment. Same as I did with 360, I will use the PS4 for exclusives mostly as it is designed mainly for games only and right now the online for it is subpar BF4 online gave me grief and hardly anyone was on servers the first week.

But I'm online with XB1 at the moment playing games daily and doing more and more media stuff too, but doesn't make it any less of a gaming console.

Well WTF that means to me is that Sony focused more on making a console more game focused which translated into making them making the console have less bells and whistles with better looking and to me playing games than the XBONE. Granted RYSE looks great but when I'm playing PS4 on my 65" TV I can tell the graphical difference. Also for me the XBONE menu system is way more cumbersome than is the PS4 menu system.

As I said the XBONE feels more like a entertainment focused system with gaming being secondary ie. roku or Apple TV.

That's just the opinion of someone who owns both systems and that's WTF it means to me. Not to say that's a good thing or bad thing, but I grab the PS4 controller more than I do the XBone. I'm sure it's different for others.

FYI... People should check their LIVE information here

Then Recent Activity. It tells you every time you or someone else has tried to access your Live account. Another site I frequent has members where their accounts have tried to be breached.

Wanted to give everyone a heads up about this

If Roku and Apple TV had the capability to play videogames that were nearly identical to the PS4, I could see the comparison.

Well it means something different to everyone - so no one should get their feelings hurt when a person prefers one console over the others. If 10 people described what it means to them, it doesn't mean that's how you feel about it - so what does it matter?

Well seeing as there are no other devices that can play games at the level of the PS4/XBone, those two were the closest off the top of my head. Lol.

Re: Xbox One

I don't understand why people think the XB1 menu is cumbersome or hard to navigate. It seems pretty straightforward to me.

Also if users want to change what name pops up on their display when your XB-1 is turned on, you can also do that under Edit Name

I didn't say that it was hard to navigate. I just think that it's cumbersome and not well thought out. It just doesn't seem like everything was thought out well. I dont like looking for certain sections for more than 3-5 minutes, I'm getting too old for that lol. I'm sure after more time with it, and more system updates it'll grow on me. But I like the simplicity of the PS4 menu.

Re: Xbox One

Some of this reminds me of the Windows 8 debates, problems like 'can't even figure out how to close a program' which then remains a talking point as if they never learned how to do it.

What specifically seems not well thought out? The giant window showing your currently active app? The list of apps below it showing all recent apps? The customizable pins to the left? The windows into the marketplace to the right?

The only cumbersome part of the One UI to me is the friends app.

Lol. No need to get offended, I get it you prefer the XBOXone. As I said "FOR ME" the Xboxone has a cumbersome menu setup. I won't waste my time telling you what's cumbersome to me, because it may not be cumbersome to you.
