Re: Xbox One

Does this mean that for games such as NHL 15 that are coming out soon, that we'll be able to add our own music to games like that due to this update?

We are one step closer as now we have to hound the game developers for them to add custom audio back by update or into next years versions. With Sony being quiet on this subject, MS just won my sports game business going forward.

Dave, I was using it for the visual, not the moral of the story

Excellent points though.

It was a good visual too. I thought I remembered it correctly but I youtubed it to see. Just as funny now too.

What's most awesome is that you actually have DQ in your screen name...

Re: Xbox One

Is there any news on Kinect heavy family centric games? It seems like other than controlling your xboxone everyone's abandoned Kinect.


The ONLY game my wife has gotten into in the last few hears was the Wii fit. It'd be nice to sell her on something similar.

Re: Xbox One

I got this from the PS page Push Square on FB. It's all just speculation, but something to think about.


The firm from Redmond certainly wants you to believe that it is, and it’s succeeded in selling that story. Visit any number of other gaming websites right now and you’ll see the sequel to last year’s multiformat Tomb Raider reboot being paraded as an ‘Only on Xbox’ title. However, we picked up on some clever wording during the press conference that suggests that you shouldn’t take everything that you read at face value.

For example, Xbox chief Phil Harrison was keen to emphasise that the title will be “exclusive in 2015” and that “Xbox One will be the only platform that you’ll be able to play the game on next year”. That suggests to us that some kind of 2016 release is on the cards for other systems. There’s some similarly awkward wording in Square Enix’s explanation and faux apology post. In fact, developer Crystal Dynamics even stresses that it’s “not walking away from PlayStation”.
So, what’s going on? Well, assuming that we’re not reading into things too deeply, we get the impression that publisher Square Enix has agreed a period of timed exclusivity with Microsoft, which would presumably prevent it from fully disclosing its long-term plans for the game. The fact of the matter is that third-party exclusives just don’t make financial sense in this day and age – especially when you’re backing a system that’s not selling as strongly as its competitor.

There’s no doubt that there are some big bucks involved here, but considering that Square Enix was famously disappointed with the numbers of the previous game, it seems absurd that it would cut off the reach of one of its biggest properties in such a big way. It’s worth remembering, after all, that Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition heavily outsold the Xbox One version on the PS4 – and Lara Croft, as a mascot, is closely linked to the PlayStation brand.
Of course, with the sequel due out next holiday, it provides Microsoft with a direct competitor to Nathan Drake’s latest exploits in Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End – and considering the similarities between the two franchises, that’s going to be an enjoyable battle to watch unfold. But does that mean that Lara Croft’s latest adventure will never appear on a PlayStation platform? At the moment, only Square Enix and Microsoft have the answer to that. We’re not convinced.

Xbox has the Xbox Fitness thing....it's Kinect heavy, fitness based....you can do P90x and stuff on it.

Otherwise I don't know if there'll be a lot of Kinect heavy games, haven't heard much as of late.

Re: Xbox One

Re: Xbox One

There are a lot of people mad about this. That is for sure.

I'm not, Uncharted is better anyways

Re: Xbox One

I wonder if streaming TV to SmartGlass will come to the US at some point...

That'd be pretty cool if I can stream my regular tv outside to a tablet or phone. I could then hook that up to a tv I cart out there or whatnot. Could be a neat feature.

Re: Xbox One

This is why I have both consoles. I hated caring about what console got what game. You know how pissed I wouldve been about this EA Access fiasco if I hadnt broken down and got an X1? Its all good news to me now because I have both of them.

Exactly right...if exclusives bother you then buy both consoles!!

Exactly! That's why I had both last gen, but i realized I ended up not caring about either exclusive as much when I got busy (Missed TLOU even), so for me it's smarter to pick one.

What is the point of those Rollercoaster tycoon type games? Is there an actual thrill of riding a virtual rollercoaster (find that hard to believe - at least for me), or is it more of a business strategy game?

Re: Xbox One

Just buy both consoles. You only play one at a time anyway. I don't get the whole, "I don't have time" deal. You're either playing the PS4 or you're playing the One.

Re: Xbox One

Highly debatable as I feel Uncharted Story is what drives the game and TombRaider combat is better.

If Tomb Raider was not about a women then many would say its on equal footing with UC
