XBOX GAMING THREAD | PHIL TRUE 4K

seems to run alot better than the 360. I like the fact the game keeps playing while you do other stuff

 

But how does dude have one already

 

thats what I wanna know. No way an employee leaks that kinda thing

 

50 percent speed? Wow thats wild. The game I play the most is an xbox exclusive though 

 

The problem with Penello is that for someone who works in the engineering team, he shouldn't be throwing out statements like that without any proof or backup. "We made DirectX so we are skilled" isn't going to cut it so of course people will question that . We have the specs of both and on paper, the PS4 has better specs and a few devs who are developing for both consoles have confirmed it so the "arm chair" experts will have to question what Penello said since he's only involved with MS.

Whether we will see the difference in multiplatform games is another story. We have the specs but the hardware for both are very customised so we won't know the true difference till the multiplatform games are pitted aginst each other.
Even still, some devs may decide to go for parity while others will use the consoles capabilities. We saw it last gen and this gen.

Skyrim for example, suffered on the PS3 because of it's split RAM pool. They didn't try to degrade the 360's version just for parity with the PS3's version. FFXIII was better on the PS3 because they didn't have to compress as much using Blu-Ray on the PS3 compared to the DVD's on the 360. They didn't cut down the PS3 version for parity.





@that video. I'm liking next gen OS features already. Eveyrthing is seamless

 

Video is gone what was in it

 

Some guy showing off the controller, and then he showed the user interface. He went into a game(ryse) and showed off how you can go in a game and back instantly.

 

SOMEBODY ELSE UPLOADED IT

 

Damn those tiles are ugly, at least make em live tiles like windows phone and RT do.

 

Is that an IR blaster on the controller not sure what for but it's interesting

 

No, the Kinect itself functions as an IR blaster. At first i thought it was for depth recognition, but the Kinect can already do it without holding the control.

The windows tiles do not like ( bring back the blades) but i do like they finally gave the game most of the screen tile space.

 

its some kind of light so the kinect can tell one controller from the next, i think

 

NOT SURE IF THIS HAS BEEN POSTED. I THOUGHT IT WAS PRETTY COOL:

"There's good news for home theater enthusiasts, too. Microsoft is taking advantage of the console's IR blaster in a big way. The Xbox One can control individual components of your living room setup - a TV, receiver, etc. - recognizing commands like "Xbox, volume up" to make quick changes. The configuration process reportedly resembles that of a Harmony remote; you simply search for a device in your home theater chain rather than dealing with codes or other cumbersome menus."

Kid who received an XboxOne early shows it off.  Either he getting someone fired and or hes doing jail time 

 

Just like this kid. Had the system four months before release and gets his father fired.

 

Major Nelson doesn’t like the Xbox One being nicknamed “Xbone,” thinks it’s disrespectful

I just think its a silly, corny nickname. I mean, Its easier to write xb1, same as ps4. Thats like me writing out psfour. It makes no sense. But your not gonna change the way people do things. Just like a certain individual who writes M$ ...

 

Easier to type xbone

 

Lmao. How? Your typing two extra keys with xbone compared to xb1

 

It's all a rythem baby..when I type numbers it slows me down

 

Eh, to me X1 gets the point across.

 

Honestly just saying Xbox is fine. No one brings up the original xbox and the Xbox 360 is known as "360"
