Microsoft has detailed exactly what games you'll be able to play on day one of Xbox One's launch.-
Powerstar Golf looks like a fun knock-off of Hot Shots.

I was just assuming The Division would be released right away, but now I know it's not coming until late 2014.
Dang. -

I know it's IGN but this was a good article about it http://uk.ign.com/articles/2013/08/20/dont-worry-about-ryse-son-of-rome

From what I could tell at E3 that part of the game was going to be the tutorial.
-
-
"happen straight away and always succeed", so...like in other games where you press "x" and you hit the guy with your sword?
-
The QTE in Ryse let you do executions which give you XP bonuses, health regen and focus.
You can still kill the enemy without doing the QTE, it's not like God of War.
The point of the article was to say that combot is a lot more interesting and fun and in depth than what was shown at E3. Where a lot of the combat mechanics were dumbed down just to show off the QTE executions.

Since both systems are neck and neck, we should focus on the EXCLUSIVES rather than the whole line up.
If the XB1 outperforms the PS4 on the multi-plat titles while maintaining a large exclusive line up (the prior being more important then the latter), it may very much justify the extra $100 down.-
-
Not giving the answer. I'm with you on the same boat. I'm just raising the possibility.
-
I mean, I guess I should put on the table the possibility that Sony really messes up somewhere after release or a bad oversight causes catastrophic results.
I'm on the PS4 train myself but I don't have pre-orders for either for this reason and that I have a massive back order of games I should be finishing that extends all the way back to my PS2 collection. I have no real need to get a console on release month (or year for that matter) when things are uncertain and library is limited. -
And not only is in not as powerful, last I heard, the PS4 pre-orders were much stronger than the XB, and the XB1 is still $100 more than the PS4. So, really, I don't see them neck and neck in any regard at all. But still, if the exclusives they are offering are important to you, then there's no reason to not get the system.
-
I mean neck and neck in terms of performance. PS4 has more impressive numbers but by a margin.

I just loathe the TV-focus of the XONE, I mean they are going to spend a significant portion of money and development on features that I'm never going to be able to use. We in Europe always has been treated like the bastard stepchild, so nothing changed really, but I really hoped it would be different this time. Who knows Sony might also focus on crap I don't want or need, but at least I think I must try something else, because Xbox is not doing it for me any more.

because the direction of the GUI, the focus on 'add-ons', time/money spent by the XBox dev. team will be in a direction I'm not fond of. Its like the current X360 GUI, worse than ever , sluggish as hell, random shit all over the place. So of course it will affect me even if I don't use (or rather never will be able to ) a particular set of features. The core focus sets the frame work upon everything else must be adjusted to.
You're not buying a closed box with set features, this generation lasted 8 (9?) years. Much has changed during that time. I assume it will be the same going forward. If I look at the *focus* from the 'reveals' from Sony and Microsoft, Sony's was around gaming and associated features, Microsoft mostly around pass-trough Tv-addon features. Don't you see that for me it matters ? it will affect me, it will affect the experience down the line ?

I can't stand the direction they are going either. I used to love the 360 but now it takes a few minutes for the stupid thing to boot up because of all the ads it downloads. Then when I finally get on it the thing keeps showing me ads for tv shows/movies/music and maybe 1 ad for a game. I don't want to see any of that crap. It also takes me a while to find any game I've downloaded. I've now disconnected my 360 from the internet and rarely ever use it now anyways since they haven't had much for exclusives the last couple years.
Hopefully the xbox one will fix some of this but as of right now I really don't trust them. Luckily the only exclusive game that somewhat interests me is the new halo which I'll probably get just for the single player. So I'm sure I'll get to see how well their new interface works and see whether or not live will be worth it again before the game comes out.

At least I don't like the direction they've been going okay! And from what I've seen of the new dashboard it looks very similar to the 360 one. I know you can customize the Home page (However I don't know how much of it you can customize) and outside of that I wouldn't be surprised if I see lots of ads again. I also really hope the pin feature no longer requires you to be online. As far as the load times go the main reason it bothers me is because I know it's just downloading garbage from the internet which just pisses me off and I'm worried that'll continue on the xbox one. Also the whole focus on the xbox one being an all in one device makes me worried that they will focus less on gaming. So at the moment I don't trust microsoft very much and for a lot more reasons than just this!

The cost/price of the console isn't an even split. People buy consoles nowadays for multiple reasons. It was like the PS3 having bluray, people would buy it as a bluray player and others would buy it not giving a damn about bluray.
Sony hoped that people who were buying it because of bluray would outweigh the cost of them including it in the console. For MS it's the same thing now with kinect and the tv features.-
Right, but BigT is saying he won't be able to use those services even if he wanted to, since he lives in Europe. That would be like Sony spending money on developing a Blu Ray player that does not work for a large portion of your customers. Those customers that can't use it and buy the console are paying for a service they will never be able to use. So why bother?
-
why won't he ever be able to use them in Europe exactly?
-
Well for starters a lot of streaming services aren't available outside of the US, which invalidates one of Xbones selling points.
Microsoft spends half of their time hyping up services that would only benefit US audiences. What does someone in Brazil care about Microsofts deal with the NFL?
The truth of the matter is that MS really only cares about their US audience, and hasn't given any non American reason to be interested. Does Kinect understand anything other than English, or do you have to learn English just to use the console?-
really? The rest of the world doesn't have any streaming video services?
http://ivgaming.co.uk/2012/12/16/full-list-of-apps-coming-to-european-xbox-360s/
Eurosport, Lovefilm, Sky, BBC, etc are also available. Netflix is the big dog in streaming media, they get to be the headliner on announcement but we already know how many apps are available outside the US and that number will just keep growing.
Original announcement for the Xbox One was for the TV services to come to 41 countries (not all at launch obviously).
The Kinect already supports 6 major languages http://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-360/kinect/speech-recognition-
Why aren't they supporting Chinese and Cantonese? That's like 90% of the Asian market right there. Also I'm curious how Kinect will handle different dialects and accents. Simply turning the console on could be difficult enough to turn a lot of the non-us audience away, even if you speak English. Will someone with a Scottish or UK accent have problems turning it on and off? I'm genuinely curious.
Regarding the streaming services, it's a well known fact that it's generally horrid outside of the US, but since I haven't experienced it first hand I can't say exactly how bad it really is. Even Netflix instant watch has a lot fewer offerings outside of US territories from my understanding.-
I would assume they're working on support but Chinese is pretty massively different from those other languages and the majority of the Xbox market is not the Asian market. As far as dialects and accents go, it's an additional complication, it can make things harder to do, just as it does with Siri, Google Now, etc. That said, I would imagine that the initial version of Kinect provided pretty valuable data to help in the future on accents in some of those territories where the language itself was supported. But no one is going to launch a voice recognition service that handles every language and every accent and dialect out of the gate so some folks in the less populace/popular places might have to endure some growing pains. That list of languages covered a reasonably wide swatch of customers for first gen, it should only expand, but regardless it's hardly been a US-only or English-only feature.

It's a well known fact that US streaming services are often bad outside the US. That's why I linked to a list of native streaming services where media companies have negotiated the rights for those territories specifically. Lovefilm has nearly 5000 streaming movies available, Sky lets you watch their live TV through it (http://www.xbox.com/en-GB/Live/Sky has better options than most US Xbox owners do for getting live TV through their console), Wuaki, etc.
There're obviously going to be different levels of values to certain services depending on what territory you're in and what you're interested in but it's really not accurate to act like all these TV and media services that are getting promoted as big features are only relevant to the US/English audience. Of course that's the company's home base and a large share of the Xbox market so they're going to get plenty of love but it's by no means some exclusive content that's completely useless to the rest of the world.

And? That's when Netflix expanded to Denmark.

As the others replied, we maybe will get a few streaming services eventually, but the most tooted feature, pass-through overlay, will not work, we use decoders built in the tv-sets. As in no external access to the decoded stream. And the European tv-industry is extremely fragmented.
We still have no local language support on kinect gen 1. It easy for you to say 'don't use feature x then it wont affect you' well if I never get feature x? I still pay more than americans for the console and the games? I should accept to get a lesser feature set for more money? Nah.
-
the amount some of you guys get worked up about a feature you can't/don't/won't use as being actively worse than if it didn't exist for those that do want it is crazy. The TV pass through is just one of many multimedia features in what is still a videogame console. I'm sure Sony has carefully structured their development efforts to not 'waste' money on any features you can't/won't/don't use.

It just seems so short sighted. The last generation was almost a decade long, I will be very surprised if cable TV is in it's current form in 8 years. Cable is a dying whore and the movement away is only growing. If they had developed an IP based "Cable TV Provider" only available on XBox One it would have been amazing. This is some ole bullshit with a shrinking user base that will be irrelevant eventually.
-
cable TV is still 100s of millions of people for the foreseeable future. And the people who aren't on cable are using the video app ecosystem the 360 has been building for years so it's not like the future isn't well covered (and they'll use similar voice UIs)
-
It's just HDMI pass through, so the TV overlay/control elements could easily be repurposed for something else in the magic cable-less future.

Looks good... still getting PS4 though. $100 price is still a lot of monies
-
-
-
The game that plays itself?
-
-
I'd be surprised there's even that many in one generation from a console I'd want.
-
-
-
Five.
-
When you have Mario 64 as a launch title you can get away with that.
-
-
I must just be old, because technically that looks like a much better launch lineup than most systems have had, but i just can't get excited about it.
The only exclusive in that lineup I have any interest in is Read Rising 3. And from what I've seen of that, it seems to be going in the opposite direction than what I'd like. -
Dead Rising 3 is the only console-exclusive I'm interested in.
-
Not a single exclusive that appeals to me! Only two on the list I even want.
-
Forza and Ryse are the only titles that look next gen
