Ah yeah it has. Kev only got the 'new' dashboard about three weeks ago whereas we've had it for months. They roll out the changes in batches and were on the waiting list this time it seems.

f*** Microsoft. I am selling my Xbox and buying a Playstation.

EVERYONE got the Playstation update yesterday, so you really should. It added....wait for it....wait for it....folders. It's a game changer.
 
Same for me. An update popped up last night while I was playing the FIFA demo and I thought for sure it would be the Clubs update but nope.

Crap, I forgot about the FIFA demo! Get over in that thread and tell us what you see.
 
hmm, not sure if it was the update or what, had to reset all my tv stuff then do a hard reset, seems to be working now.
 
Ark Survival Evolved: Developer now using ESRAM with latest update, 30%-40% increased performance. Nice! Haven't played this for a while, gonna check it out.

Ark: Survival Evolved got a new update yesterday and while it added a new giant bird and much more content, the main benefit is definitely the improvement in terms of performance it brings to Xbox One. According to a report by The Inquisitr, there is a 30-40% performance improvement in rendering structures. The developer is now using the console's ESRAM to help render objects so tricks like that should improve performance even further.

The Scorched Earth expansion also came out a few days ago and had a number of performance issues. Thankfully, this update also patches that download and it runs much smoother now. The frame rate is more consistent a 30 FPS. Hopefully the developers will continue to optimize the game because it needs a lot of it.
 
No it didn't. We just got a huge new update like 3 weeks ago.

I thought it was since i did not see it on the coming soon page for a while now, also some people said it probably was. anyway kvally that is good to hear that its still being updated and played, do you enjoy it?
 
Did anyone picked up the Bioshock Collection?
I never played any of them till last night and wow it looks great.
 
Got it for the PS4 because trophies > achievements but yeah, first time playing these games. So good.

No way. Platinums > 1,000 yeah but achievements > trophies overall. If that makes sense, lol.

I'm torn on which i like better, so that makes me hunt for achievements and trophies.

I only say it because PSNProfiles is way better than True Achievements. PSNProfiles can tell you how many trophies you got on a Wednesday from 3-4PM while underwater.

I use mygamerprofile.net for achievements. It's similar to PSNProfiles. Both are great. I only use True Achievements as an achievement guide which serves it's purpose.
 
I use the dashboard on PSN and XBL and it shows all my achievements and trophies.
 
Don't you just love it when those pre-paid gift cards tell you the code hasn't been activated yet:smash::smash::txbmad::txbmad::smash::txbmad::txbmad:
 
I can go either way with achievements vs trophies. I do have a crap ton more achievements though. Also have plenty of Xbox games 100% yet don't have any platinum trophies yet. At this point I may save it for that one special game.

Outside of the color of trophies (silver, bronze, gold, platinum?), I guess I don't know what the difference is? Are they not the same? As in, if I get Call of Duty Infinite Warfare, would that get different achievements on the PS4 compared to the Xbox One?

Yea pretty sure they are the same across consoles.

Microsoft is introducing a new sound for rare Xbox One achievements. The new notification will include a special diamond icon alongside an operatic rendition of the original sound. It's designed to signal achievements that are rarely collected by fellow Xbox players, and gamers will now be able to see just how rare achievements are within each game. Microsoft is rolling the improved achievements features to Xbox One Preview members initially, and all consoles by the end of the month.

Alongside the achievement changes, Microsoft is also introducing Xbox Live Arena for competitive matches. Killer Instinct is the first supported game, allowing players to compete in daily tournaments. Microsoft is only gathering feedback about Arena so far, and the company plans to roll it out with additional features to the Xbox One Preview program later this month.
