Re: Xbox One

With the Kinect-less Xbox One being announced, I will be heading off to GameStop sometime today and pre-ordering it. I have about 200+ in-store credit that was specifically going toward that, and I'm glad I waited. I think Kinect is useless. Hopefully I'll be gaming with some of you guys next month!

Re: Xbox One

I think the more options the better for us gamers, some people like to stay with good games or great games for a long time; or give us a chance to play some games we cannot plat on NG, ex. NCAA football or a baseball game like 2k, etc.

I agree

I gave my 360 slim to my son to let him start his own collection of games, but I hate having to drag the Xbox back out just to play some of my older 360 games. To some that's no big deal but I sure would just like to be able to put any game in I wanted without that hassle of all that.

I still need new games BUT the price drop plus BS would certainly get me closer to getting one. I have a few 360 games I will have forever (like I do with all systems) that I'd still be playing if I could. (Red Dead for example)

Daughter has the Gamecube and 360 in her room. Day care/Living room has a PS1 and PS2.
Game room with the PS4 and PS3.
As a gamer I can play all era of games if they are good. Doesn't have to be the newest thing

Re: Xbox One

Although I'm not a big Kinect fan, this news along with the 4-5 other "180s" Microsoft has made in the past few months is a real letdown. At least they were trying to do something different. Now we are left with 2 consoles very much like last gen only with a bit more powerful hardware - although even that is underwhelming...

How boring...

Re: Xbox One

We'll still get some of what they were planning, they've suggested they want to tackle digital gifting/loaning for example.

Re: Xbox One

I've read several people on here talking about the price should be lower, how low a dollar? Lol.

It's like some type of punishment that gamers want to hand to Microsoft for their earlier blunders. If so, that's cool to each his own, but this if they only made the price lower bit sounds suspect.

It's a video game console. No matter what people try to pump up and inflate the public on, it will be bought either by gamers or for gamers. No amount of tacked-on (even if fully fleshed out) features will change that.

What's the point of buying a Kinect-less (literally the only thing aside from a spruced up, early-90s AOL interface that set it apart from the PS4) XBox One when most games are multi-platform and nearly all multi-platforms will perform better on the PS4 than XBox One, when they are the same price? I think that's what's getting hinted at.

I've seen people saying $349.99 is a good price point. I happen to agree with them, but that's neither here nor there.

Outside of Halo, Gears of War and Forza (potentially adding Sunset Overdrive to this list in the future, though it's yet another shooter) what sets Microsoft apart now?

If I were to ask you to produce a list of 7-10 reasons/game series why, for the same price, I should pick up an XBox One over a Playstation 4... would you be able to do it?

Re: Xbox One

Two of my roommates have an XB1 and one of them has been having issues out of his. When you turn the console on and connect it to a TV via HDMI, the TV cannot receive video output/signal from the console. We tried mix matching HDMI cords, trying a different TV, etc.

We did a bunch of searching online and can't find anything about it. The only thing left to do is maybe try purching an HDMI -> VGA cord or HDMI -> component to see if it's the HDMI port that is the problem.

We also hooked the other XB1 to the new TV he had purchased and it worked without hesitation or issue. We're all the way in Japan so him sending it to the factory under warrant maybe be a bit of an issue so if any of you have heard of any possible solutions (I doubt there is one) please let me know.

I told him he may just be out of luck on it.

Hey AUChase, that sucks. Seems like it could be a TV issue. When you hook it up to a working TV, can you go to Display & Sound settings and change the video setting to "Auto-Detect"? If it's already on Auto-Detect, try changing it to "HDMI". You could also try a factory reset of the console. It would delete all your games/content, but that would all be re-downloaded.

You can also try calling tech support or posting on the official support forums. This isn't my area of expertise, but hopefully there would be people who could help you.

I have the 360 in the bedroom for future streaming needs (360's much better vs. our blu-ray player in that room)

I won't buy any games on it, but the Games with Gold are decent enough to let me kill time if everyone's asleep in the room lol Looking forward to Dark Souls!

Not the game to play when everyone in the room is sleeping, unless you are very very good at resisting the urge to throw controllers and shout curse words at the top of your lungs.

Yeah lol.....I had it when it came out and barely played it (didn't have tons of time, it was one of the last "getting lots of games I don't play" purchases for me).

I think I can deal with that somehow. I'll be careful and "mouth" my swears lol

Re: Xbox One

You just get whatever system has your favorite exclusive. It's that simple really. Since ps2 I became a xbox guy because of gears. It's the best exclusive I have played. Has great campaign and even better multiplayer. The performance gap is not a big enough issue for me to worry about buying a ps4 just for the titles released on both systems. I own a wii u and a one because those two systems have my favorite exclusives. When I'm playing Tombraider I don't sit there and think the game runs a tad better on the ps4. I just enjoy playing the game because it looks and runs great on the one anyways.

Forza, Killer Instinct, Sunset Overdrive, Titanfall, Quantum Break, Halo, Gears of War, DLC on COD comes to XB1 first, you still get the snap function and TV features as well with or without the kinect. Improvements, updates and new features are rolling out monthly also.

The games are completely subjective obviously, If PS games interest you more than XB1 games then PS4 is the obvious choice for you. MS games interest me more and in the end that's what's most important and should be the deciding factor.

Exactly

When you grow up play 8bit,16bit, ect you don't think about that stuff. I think today's people are just a tad spoiled in my opinion

Can't go wrong with either

Re: Xbox One

It's amazing how many people out there today worry about a few pixels. The 1080 thing is out of control. I still play the crap out of my n64.

It is now...don't think that's how their vision started out though...
