XBOX GAMING THREAD | PHIL TRUE 4K

[derryj3]

Im thinning about selling my pre order...saw one go for $670 on eBay yesterday

 

[blakep267]

GameStop is taking preorders again. I think it's the standard edition though. May have to check

 

[t4t3r]

Yep Walmart and Gamestop currently have regular edition preorders available

 

[da r entertainment]

Sucks that you can't schedule for pick up at a store as I would like to trade in my system towards the XB1.

 

[100proof]

I originally thought the all-in-one media center push was a gimmick. Now that's what's drawing me to the xb1

Along with kinect, which I also thought was a gimmick lol.

Considering that today news broke that you can't play mp3s or stream video from your pc on PS4, I think a few more people will be giving the X1 another look

For a limited time only, pre-orders for the Xbox One standard edition can be made at any U.S. GameStop store location or online at www.gamestop.com/xbox-one with a $100 deposit that will be applied toward the $499 cost of the console.

Phil spencer recently did an interview with ign . Some interesting stuff

Spoiler

Sunset Overdrive is something they're playing and next fall (currently anyway)

D4/Kinect Sports Rivals are early 2014

Gears has run its course in the current story. They’d need to consider a reboot with Epic but would want to do it

PGR is a maybe but they’re full in the racing space atm (which suggests Forza Horizon 2?)

Phil says he’s a big fan of Halo Wars and discusses it with 343 studio head but hasn't spoken to Robot Entertainment in a while so they probably wouldn't make it

Said Rare has controller based games in their future, he doesn’t force them to do anything as he knows the staff will just leave and he’s been speaking to studio head at Rare over the summer about whats next. Heads have been (unsurprisingly turned) at Rare over the positive reaction to Killer Instinct, some interesting things brewing over there

Phil said he has the green light to buy anyone he wants pretty much (developer wise) but he doesn’t for various reasons, e.g. Epic and Crytek are both in the engine business (didn’t say Epic/Crytek but he did say engine business) which is interesting. He said that having internal studios isn;t any cheaper to having an external studio work on a game so thats why he can buy if it makes sense for the developer and Microsoft

Ryse was rebooted because they didn't think the quality was there in the Xbox 360 version and Crytek wanted to a launch title when MS approached them about it

He liked Kameo said PDZ was good not great, was disappointed it wasn't better and didn't do better

Titanfall wasn't specifically ever really discussed for launch, thinks its coming out at a great time for them in March
Harmonix are busy with the Fantasia game but they'd like to work with them again for another Dance Central

confirmed that the E3 demo of Quantum Break was playable.

Good to know sunset overdrive should be out in the fall

damn already soldout

 

[k2theablam]

 x1 looks better

In that one it kinda does, but overall nah. (open in new tab)

XBOX looks better in every single frame sample. There's more contrast and more details in the background.

why do you post in this thread? just like to know.

 

[strictlyairjordans23]

^wow, they're streaming the Ryse open multiplayer arena. Still looks meh. They should just stick to showing off the single player campaign.

Just read that the multiplayer wasn't even developed by the same team (crytek), yeah im not touching that crap just like i never even took out the multiplayer disc from the Assassin's Creed 3 box.

Yeah, im not sure why they dont show the sp that crytek actually worked on. Like why show the gladiator mode that nobody really seems to like, that was made by a second rate studio

So I know killer instinct will be a free download
But any word on a retail disc??
Or how much for the extra characters or full game download/disc

theres a limited edition retail version for $60 but its a retty ridiculous purchase. Better to just download it
http://www.microsoftstore.com/store...100?siteID=te1Fq2FCseg-vYKYHcTjoqqGK2CuMjRL3w

The game itself is free with Jago. You can buy each character separately for $5 ( 6 characters at launch, 2 dlc for season 1)/ You can spend $20 and get the starting 6 characters and the 2 dlc when they release. The $40 dollar version comes with all the characters (6 +2), all their alt costumes and accessories, and the original KI game as a download

What was wrong with what i posted?

 

[deleted]

Eskimo Press seems credible.

 

[blakep267]

for what its worth, it works. Still need to see somebody more adept use it rather than 2 random guys

 

[Bend_The_Knee]

Didn't think it was either, just posted it to see what you guys thought is all.

 

[keko jones]

Just came back from gamestop and they are taking preorders for the X1 just not day 1 edition. They claim you will still be able to get it first day. In addition they also said that Sony already started canceling some preorders, not sure how true is this.
