Everything Xbox ONE

[MessiaaH]

Yea I know the Xbox version was missing the ambient, but it didn't need it.

The visuals look better than PS4 without that. Much less time they add that.

And @ Wyatt, exclusives are a necessary evil to the industry. What I just happy about is the fact that this time around it ain't affect PC. We still getting it.

But ill say this. If bleddy Microsoft, do what they did, with halo and gears, with titan fall. And have part 1 on pc and part 2 onwards exclusive to Xbox, somebody going to get hurt.

[TriniXaeno]

hahhaah, yeah boy.

I get the feeling they coming strong with Windows 8 as a gaming platform.

They have a proper marketplace and a proven model to monetize games via digital distribution.

We (and they) know that GFWL needs a revamp. This could bring a lot of xbox games to Windows 8

and to phone, those that are viable on that platform.

They could even drop a "buy once...run anywhere" strat and wtfpwn Sony.

Single sign on and your xbox one games available on every device you own (phone, xbox and PC)

gg wp no re

[MessiaaH]

if they do that, they could charge me 10$ ah month for xbl.

Windows 8 and Xbox already use d same MS account, if they do buy once play anywhere, with cross platform play, and a unified chat/matchmaking system (xbl), working the same across bot pc and Xbox and phone.

Waayyyeeeeeee, take my money now if they do that, that is thing I dont mind paying  for.

The first step will be to unify gfwl and Xbox live though. They should be the same thing, any info on what online platform titanfall on pc go be using?

Titanfall’s dedicated PC servers will be running from the Xbox LIVE Cloud




By Tim Colwill on June 25, 2013 at 9:01 am

One of the things that Microsoft haven’t backpedaled on since their E3 2013 conference is their commitment to the creation of massive cloud server farms, used to sync your saved games, provide spare computational power on certain rendering effects, and all sorts of other things.

Now, Respawn have announced that upcoming multiplayer shooter Titanfall will be using the power of that cloud for their dedicated servers on PC, Xbox One and Xbox 360. Which is good news, because, hey — dedicated servers.

On the other hand, it does mean that the chances of us here at games.on.net running a Titanfall server for you just went down very drastically. We’ll be chasing up with Microsoft and Respawn to see if we can get some more details about where exactly these dedicated servers will be located.

I know this mite be a bit premature for x1, but I want to start collecting info one time.

What are the keyboard and mouse options for Xbox, cause when halo and gears release, u better believe I all over that. But FPS with a controller?   

[TriniXaeno]

hmm, I want an answer to that myself.

My xim worked great for the xbox 360 but it is an extra US$80 I would rather not have to spend to get proper keyboard/mouse support on the xbox one.

Interesting... http://www.winbeta.org/news/infinity-ward-explains-why-cod-ghosts-720p-xbox-one
http://www.destructoid.com/infinity-ward-talks-720p-for-cod-ghosts-on-xbox-one-264890.phtml

...and this is supposed to be the 'better' system?
I dunno, but isn't 1080p > 720p?


I could laugh now?

Let me see how GATT's resident Xbone spin-doctor will explain away this one.   

[MessiaaH]

Yes very interesting.

And yes 1080 > 720, but we both know resolution alone don't = better. We both know a lot more about graphics to think that.

Also, why they drop the resolution makes plenty sense, blasted Hyper-V.
But it being utilized to offer PC-Like features in the Xbox one.

So one can argue that the extra features is. > a slight resolution bump that would not matter much to how pretty d game look in d long run.

But that argument can't be made until men get the box in hand and start using it.

Is xbl vs psn all over again. Some men could say Free games on psn better, but others say your experience on xbl is better. etc etch etc.

I personally think it gay next gen consoles can't run 1080p though. If MS knew they OS features would have required some of the power be restricted from developers, they should have intentionally put ah lil better specs so it wouldn't affect what developers have access too. But then that mite have mean an even more expensive console and men done grimy for the 500$

Also when developers get experience with the console, such issues mite become mute. Time will tell.

But being ah PC gamer I find it rely gay that both consoles still at the edge of graphic capability, the ps4 don't even run b4 at 1080p, stueps. But anyways, it have other ways u can make a game look good. So ill wait to see for mehself.

Final verdict? I wont give up the sexy features of Xbox one for ah slightly higher resolution that mite not even matter in the end.

[MessiaaH]

Let me see how GATT's resident Xbone spin-doctor will explain away this one.   

How ah do?

[Arcmanov]

I won't lie to you...it was an admirable attempt. 

+1


...and this one is for yuh pardner who like to throw picong via email. 




...and while I won't twist the knife on this one, I will reiterate that it was Micro$haft self who stated that
the reason they implemented that 3-OS system with Hypervisor was to allow for better resource management,
and here now we have Mark Rubin saying that they could NOT achieve 1080p @ 60 fps due to issues with 'resource allocation'.

...and lets be real here...Ghosts isn't running on a brand-new engine.

This does not bode well for Xbone development
Isn't this the same issue that cropped up in BF4?  The PS4 is rendering 60 fps @ 1080p...natively...while the Xbone is upscaling.

I hope this is not the start of a trend in this upcoming gen's console development.

[TriniXaeno]

Well boy, that ain't sounding encouraging at all.

Because the masses can easily do that math. 1080p > 720p

It too simple

Men with small screens in their living room mightn't be able to see any appreciable difference (32" and under) sitting at the couch....but rest assured, people playing on Full HD monitors and with 42" screens and up will notice.

I hope this is all some sick sad joke.
