The Xbox Onesie

@Battlefield: RT "@leveluptime @james_daoust Yup, we'll be doing the next [HASHTAG]#BFHardline[/HASHTAG] beta on Xbox One." As well as PC, PS4, PS3 & X360. [HASHTAG]#boom[/HASHTAG] [HASHTAG]#cominatya[/HASHTAG]
 
I wonder if this will fix my problem with my external hard drive where everything always says "Installation Stopped!" when ever I turn off my Xbox. It happened ever since I added external storage and moved all my games there.

Worth a try, I've got the Seagate but never had this problem.
 
It's a bit like Heavy Rain in cell shaded graphics, right? :)

Well....as much as i like the idea of instant on. I think i am going to quit using it.

Just now i created a party and the bulls*** started right away.

I did not see the green circle icon next to my name. When i clicked on my name i saw the option ''Go to party chat'' what the f***? I had just created the party myself. When i clicked it....nothing happened. i then turned the console off (not yet a full reboot) and on again...this time i DID see the green circle next to my name...but i could not invite anyone.

my NAT is moderate though, could that be the culprit?

Either way, there is no way to get the NAT open, it's my ISP. even though there have been times that the NAT was open out of the blue.....too weird.

-Ground pound: Depending on who you talk to this can be the most useless or useful addition to the game. It's very hard to do. Basically you hit crouch while in mid air and you have to actually manually aim it. But when you actually get a kill with it it's pretty satisfying. Also every now and again you get cool moments like this using it:

Pretty cool that it can overpower a sword lunge.

Guess I'll be watching all the clips of Halo 5 guardians people uploaded for the remainder of my day at work. :)
 
Friends of mine were rather surprised that they had to download a 11GB update for Killer Instinct. For real now...11gb for a fighter?
 
Gents, gents....

Just bought Lord of the Fallen and Mordor. Whats the scoop? Good games? Hard copies...but, yeah.

Why would you live there?

11gb? Yikes. How big is the digital version of the entire game?
It's basically a recompile of the entire base game. More of a replacement than an update from what I read.

Phil Spencer: “Interesting” News for Both Xbox and PC Gamers Coming in January; Not Focusing on 3D


As he often does, Microsoft’s head of the Xbox Division Phil Spencer answered a few questions from the fans today, giving some rather interesting insight.

First of all, he was asked if the new Gears of War will include 3D support like Gears of War 3, but he mentioned that Microsoft’s first party studios aren’t focusing on that tech. It’s relevant to mention that he clarified that Microsoft didn’t actually announce a new Gears of War yet, even if everyone knows it’s coming.

@SeanJohn004 We haven’t announced a new Gears but we aren’t spending a lot of time focusing on 3D in our first party games right now.

— Phil Spencer (@XboxP3) December 23, 2014

Secondly, he mentioned that the Windows 10 event coming on January 21st will include something interesting for both PC and Xbox gamers.

@Nicodemus9 I think what we will show will be interesting to both Windows and XBOX gamers.

— Phil Spencer (@XboxP3) December 23, 2014

To another fan who mentioned that this generation has mostly been about graphics, he promised that we’re going to see innovation beyond that before this generation is over.

@Nicodemus9 Before this gen is over we’ll see next gen tech (not just gfx, phys etc) from lots of companies. Games innovation is strong.

— Phil Spencer (@XboxP3) December 23, 2014

Finally, Spencer also praised Super Time Force developer Capybara Games.

@iocat Well big thanks to @Capy_Nathan for being an inspirational studio that always pushes themselves to do something special.

— Phil Spencer (@XboxP3) December 23, 2014

What could Microsoft be showing on January 21st? While we have no way to know for now, it could very well be a new and unified user interface for both Windows and Xbox One, or something about DirectX 12, but in this case your guess is as good as mine.​

The thing in January is the VR/AR headset. Makes sense, and CES is a great place to announce it.
 
Yeaaah...headsets and/or vision impairing peripherals don't much appeal to me.

I need to know if people are in the room when the inevitable dragon age love scene comes (huhuh) up.
 
Well it's quiet on the news front for now, so how about some vague comments from an unnamed source? Here ya go:

"Remember my inside news - 2015 will be a year you will want / need an Xbox one...what MS has coming will be bringing PS4 Owners to XBOX ONE ....Enjoy my friends and have a great new year.

I have a friend who's cousin works for Activision, he has confirmed that they are under NDA, told my friend who is a PS4 fan, that come 12 months he will be converted to X1 and wont look back, MS is just winding up to blow us all away and cant say why.

This story comes from the fact he visited my friend the other week saw he had both consoles and asked which he preferred, my friend stated PS4.

Activision employee stated: "Well come 12 months you will change your mind that's all i can say"

The employee is from the California Branch of Activision, that's all i know.

This was 7 months ago.....So we are looking Q2 2015, but with the roll MS is on I'm thinking we will start to see MS ramp up much earlier then this news predicted, as I stated to MRX i could not verify the source, however i stood by the source of the information as it was a family member who works for Activision."
 
win 10 - one game/app all windows devices. Seamless play.

could this work, halo 5 launches next year. Buy 1 copy works on pc, xbox one and streams via remote play to mobile phone. New windows phone wil have a adaptor for phone to slot into a controller.

if all xbox one games came to pc could it survive? I guess all indie games come to xbox one.

I think it would as ppl prefer console and Ms would have gold sub across all 3 devices Pc, xbox and phone.
 
Hmmm...i guess Spencer has a point there. officially they have yet to announce a new Gears. But we do know that project Black Tusk was working on is not happening because of a new Gears, right? I don't remember how it exactly went down.
 
Can anyone tell me if What the NFL App actually does if you have everything that a person would need ad far as channels, and if running 4k tv through your Xbox to watch tv have any negative results, ad far as picture performance.
The reason I ask is my father in kaw has all the stuff. I have a X1 not being used.
I've tried looking online m, and couldn't find anything. Also I heard it does your fantisy for you or something.
The reason I'm wondering is this guy Has not just sattelite, cable, but something else just so he can watch football, he also has Stacks or VHS, DVDs blurays.
Figure i would hook it up for him and let him check it out ,and see if he likes DD , and this "exclusive NFL has with XBOXwhile in not using itl
 
Lizard Squad at it again, promising to bring down XBL for Xmas. Looks like it's legit and down for some.

edit: PSN looks to be having issues as well, but not sure if that is hackers or just PSN being PSN
They need to deal with these d-bags. We pay good money for these services. I hope this would carry such harsh financial and criminal implications to deter anyone else in the future if they are caught.
 
I wonder why people even do that. Is it to show these multimillion dollar companies that they can be hacked or...what is it?
 
Two questions...

1- I noticed that when i turn my X1 off with Instant on, the X1 doesn't turn on when i press and hold the X button on the controller. If the X1 is fully turned off though and i press and hold the big X(guide) button on the controller, the X1 DOES turn on. What could this be? I DO like to use Instant on, so it can (most of the time) automatically install updates, but it bugs me i can't power on the X1 with the controller.

2- 10 minutes ago i made two clips in GTA Online. I can of course see them, but my friend still does not see them. He checked the Upload app. But are there other, better ways to check for him if there are new videos of mine?

Didn't Spencer say in another interview that Black Tusks was making major progress on Gears?
