Never said it was completely busted but those issues alone make it a step backwards.

You must a special Xbox One cause it does work the way I said.

Again what issues? Never had to enable voice after the update, even my wife has never had to enable voice on her X1. I've had zero issues since the update with the party system. It should have been like that from the start, but at least its fixed.
 
I love how half the thread is just talking about the possible employment of a single poster...but then again this is typical TXB style posting..:banana:
When people make comments others respond. Weird how it works that way on a forum isn't it.:)

A Sony universal remotes costs roughly 20$ at Amazon. Can control your entire entertainment system. Pretty competitive compared to the 400$ universal remote Xbox One is.. :p
As for video-editing software, Sony have several offerings, I think Sony's Vegas Pro is probably the most popular video editing software for Windows, beeing shipped with capture cards. We got both both Ustream and Twitch on PS4 at launch.. :-)
A sony universal remote doesnt control my X1, as well as my other devices. Just curious, how much support does the ps4 have for tablets and smartphones? Face it, the X1 offers more functionality than the ps4. Its a fact.

Uhhh... I'm being deadly serious here, it does not work the way you're saying post update. Have you checked your settings? Not that I had to change mine, but it has worked 100% like I said since the update.

I dont think he owns an x1, because it doesnt work the way he described any more. Party chat is automatic now.

I've seen him online, I think he either has a genuine unique issue or maybe screwed up settings.
 
Please explain how Flynns presence adds anything to these forums more then others. It isn't like he gives out usefull inside info or answers questions like devs and employees on other forums do. Again this isn't a attack on Flynn just how I see it.:)

On other forums they were the same way, test the waters, get into jabs, ... maybe you don't remember it well but I distinctly remember a certain Bungie and Epic employee giving many a******s the bidness on TXB. Borderline ass hattery, but it was entertaining and it also made our areas different. Just like Union can be different, if you a******s (not you particularly Hazard <3 ) would just ease it up and realize it as conversation. People make outlandish claims or statements based on their personal feelings more often than providing proof and he isn't the only one. All I'm saying is, there has already been 1 that refuses to even post here, try not running them away.
 
What kind of employee would I be if I leaked crap? I hate it when people leak our plans. That's a detriment to our business.

Why would I leak anything? To "gain cred" with losers I don't care about, at the expense of jeopardizing my job?!?

Right. No, I'm quite comfortable just keeping to what's been announced... And letting folks like you continue to believe what you will. My real life is way more important than this little dirty pleasure of chatting up stuff on a forum.
Dont worry about the wee lil haters on this forum Flynn. ;)

Your right Cool, they clearly stated after the update that voice chat is on automatically and if you for some reason don't want it on automatically, go to your settings to turn it off. Works for me!!
 
My guess would be either NAT issues causing this... forward them ports. Or maybe the settings need to be changed. From what squiggs said it sounds like the former. It could also be your router, or wifi connection. Weird.

Also, the second point you made about it not working like 360, I wouldn't call that busted either, j it just works differently. There is certainly a lot of functionality here that 360 never had from the changes in how apps behave now, which I think is your actual gripe.

My nat is fine and it being worse then it's successor is broke to me.
 
Flynn is not that presence, he is nothing more than a hardcore xb1 fanboy and on top of that he doesn't even drop any rumors or anything useful. All he does is stir the pot with fanboy dribble.
Can you at least post like an adult rather than calling everyone a fanboy? You would think you'd get tired of it.
 
I don't know man reading about both OS's seems both were missing a s***-ton of stuff.

Ok, so I agree....both were missing stuff. But the X1 was missing much more stuff in my experience. It seemed like the PS4 dashboard was ready to roll with a few quirks. The Xbox One dashboard/features felt rushed to me at release. With all the new updates as of two days ago when I received the latest preview build, it finally seems solid and feature rich (like the 360 was). There is still more work to be done though.

Flynn I ask you as a fan...not being smart when are we getting a update that makes navigation and the boot time faster(I don't leave my console plugged in) Also the party chat is busted(worked GREAT on the 360)

Party chat works great here since the update, with the party chat enabled as it should be. Is it possible to "reformat" an Xbox One. You certainly shouldn't have those issues (and of course you certainly shouldn't have to reformat your Xbox One). Or is there a way to delete the dashboard updates and get prompted to download it and install it again?

Party chat has been a savior and solid since they fixed it for anyone I have been with.
 
My nat is fine and it being worse then it's successor is broke to me.

Saying it's worse is a perfectly acceptable opinion/critcism, I think the opposite because I enjoy the new functionality it brings.. but to say it's busted is wildly inaccurate.

Also, I was at my friends house and went to play his PS4 and the auto-updates weren't working, I had to do it manually (which looks exactly how PS3 did it funny enough), but me saying it's a busted would be wrong because I know it works for others and what happened to him is a fringe issue. Same difference, you can't be surprised people would wonder if you own the console when you state stuff like that as a fact instead of mentioning its your own personal issue.

My harmony remote turns on my X1 along with my AV stuff and thats all I need it to do. And do add to your post, SmartGlass is pretty much why the X1 has a better feature set then the Ps4. I played 5 player PvZ GW Garden Ops/Horde mode, which is only 4 players. My wife connected via SmartGlass and was able to play/help.
 
I use my Harmony One remote with my Xbox One as well. The Xbox One has an IR sensor on the front, just like the 360 did.

You can dl the playstation app on your smartphones to control, manage and message friends, compare trophies, watch live from playstation stream, add and download games, use as second screen. Also vita remote play is another function where you can play ps4 games on your vita. Can any device play your Xbox one games? Don't think so. And did the Xbox one get a screenshot feature yet, click and it uploads automatically to your FB or twitter or do you still need to access your videos and then screenshot that way on your PC?

Point is, there are differing functions among the systems. Arguing how one has more is dumb, everyone has different preferences on which ones are useful to them.
 
Sony remotes don't listen to my voice, and take my commands. PC video editing software is useless in the living room, and Twitch on X1 is much better than twitch on PS4.

Yeah, you kinda' lose this one.

It doesn't need to. It's just as convenient to use the remote or controller.

Sony is getting a media video editor and talks about 720p streams, also preloading games in their next update. When ps4 owners do get preloading and Xbox one owners don't, is it your turn to "lose"?

No one is losing, lol. People are still having fun. These features just help but aren't deal breakers by any means.

the two updates I am looking forward to:

1. Preloading on PS4
2. External storage for game installs on X1
 
It's not like the PS4 didn't have a video-editor or twitch. :-/

It's just that they launched with all that stuff early on - instead of not having the services available at all like X1 did.
Now when 3 months later when X1 got these things, they've allready seen what's on PS4, and added smope upgrades like 720p stream-resolution, instead of 590p wich will also be patched in on PS4 during next update. And we'll also get a better video-editor wich also got more features.
The conclusion on this forum - is that Sony can't match Microsoft on software - despite beeing a few months earlier out with the services, wich is ridickolous.. :-/ It's just that the companies don't put out their features at the same time, and they watch and try to one-up eachother.. :-/

The PS4 allready launched with a video editor, but the editor were rather bare-bones out of the gate - with a very basic feature-set - you could basically only cut and trim videos, before uploading it. You could not merge together many different clips, etc or add narration after recording, add pictures, second layers, etc. That's what's coming in the new upcoming patch, we'll get alot of other new features, including easy export to USB and similar, to make it more convenient to publish to youtube and other services not supported by the share-featureset. :)

Alot of people also makes a big deal that you can talk to your xbox one - you can control most of your Playstation with voice aswell, both with the microphone and camera. It's alot more accurate, with understanding you, for example in regards to game selection, you can say 'Playstation Killzone' and you're golden, you do not have to say 'xbox go to forza motorsport five' like you have to on xbone.. .:-/
True Xbox one can control more of your external equipment, but it's not really that much faster way to get around instead of just using a remote/controller, from what I've seen on various videos. :-/
It's not a highly requested item at the share-blog either. :-/

So I'm not an adult because I call a spade a spade? it's not my fault he is a fanboy. Do you actually disagree? I'd love for you to answer that honestly because it sure would get a lot about you out in the open. In fact, I'd love to see anyone here honestly claim Flynn is not a biased fanboy.


Please someone defend him because it is very easy to see his post history and all of the FANBOY threads he has created. So again I ask you, do you disagree? If me calling a cat a cat or a dog a dog makes me a child then so be it. I'll be one honest ass child.

Flynn works for Microsoft.

So what? why are you side stepping the question? matter of fact, I bet you and every other mod on this site has NEVER reprimanded Flynn for the BS he does. I guess since he works at Microsoft it's okay? lol. Yet you have the nerve to try and call me out. What a joke man.

I have both an xbone and a psbone4. X1 is definitely faster with voice navigation.

I warned him once. His posts don't get reported. Yours do. Nobody else has posts reported. Yoyos posts rarely get reported by the Xbox fans of the site. He doesn't constantly blatantly go out and call everybody a fanboy.

Calling someone a fanboy isn't the problem. The problem is that's all you do now. It's fanboy this and fanboy that. Give it a rest.

It shouldn't matter if his post get reported or not, it doesn't change the content of his post. Me calling him a fanboy is definitely not worse than the garbage he posts on a consistent basis. People upset at the fact that I use the term fanboy seem to have a personal problem. I've never reported a single post in the 11+ years I've been in this community. Why? because I'm not a cry baby bitch who can't handle the internet.

wah wah wah he said fanboy wah wah wah lol. And fyi, I don't call everyone a fanboy, only MCmasters/Flynn/kvally. Why? because they obviously act like it.


You still didn't answer the question either.
