Meh, after those ridiculous Fallout 4 rumors and then Pete Hines saying there won't be anything on their new game anytime soon, i've given up. I am not hoping for anything anymore. Eventually they will announce it and that will be great, but too much other good stuff coming to worrry too much about a possible announcement.


Another question about making your X1 a home console, thus being able to share your content with one other person. I was discussing ths with a friend and he says that the person who bought the content does need to be logged in if the other person wants to use the content. Is this true?

So let's say i download Ryse from my bro's account to my HDD and i log into my own account. Bro's account is not signed in, can i still play it?

Put it this way.
I have ryse on my Xbox and son Xbox.
I made his Xbox my home and he did his with mine.

Any game I buy will go to his Xbox automatically while I am downloading mine. Now if my other son wants to play it he must have me signed in and then he can use his gamer tag to play the game.

Oh ok..so he does need you signed in. Signed in on your own console i assume? So let's say i live on my own, which i do, and my bro also in his own house. He needs to be signed in there on his X1? Or can i actually sign in as him on my own X1 and THEN use my own gamertag? It's all a bit confusing to me, lol. Sorry.

You only have to be signed in on the console that is not your home console. Your brother does not need you signed in because his console is set up as your home one.
 
I just want to see the multiplayer reveal for Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare at Gamescom. Anything else would be sprinkles on top.

Ah yes, of course. That makes sense. Well that is awesome then and really is going to save us a ton of money, i mean DLCl, season pass, it works for all.
 
I had not bought a indie game in awhile on 360 so I downloaded Avatar Farm Online the other night. Brings back memories of playing Harvest Moon on the Snes days just better graphics. Was only a $1.

What are some other good indie games to try that are worth the playtime and purchase? I also have Avatar Golf and Word Soup (me and my ex wife enjoyed playing it together).

Protect me knight is you like local coop games that are AWESOME! Best $3 I ever spent.
 
Just can't get over how beautiful this game is. I've been playing a couple ps4 games the last few days and coming back to this is a big difference. Cryteck is amazing.

What the other account does doesn't matter. I already told you look at it as two licenses one tied to purchasing gamertag and the other to home console. And if you didn't know you can share xbox live the same way and only have to pay for one subscription.

I don't see why you would need to download something from his account? He only needs to log into your console once and make it his HomeConsole and never have to log in again.

It is very simple!

Now for what you are talking about having to be logged in is if HE buys a game and has a friend at HIS (your brothers)house that wants to play that specific game on his own (friends) gamertag then your brother would have to be logged in also.

This is because your console is his home console to his GT and his own xbox is same as if at friends house where games are carried and playable only while that GT is logged in.

Holy crap,....so basically we can split the costs for one XBL sub in half and it would work?

As for downloading from his account. Don't i need to put his games on my HDD first before we can both play the same game at the same time? I mean if not...wouldn't i just be streaming his games basically? Let's take DR3 for example....for just one time only i have to copy/download it to my X1''s HDD, right?

Yes you have to download the game. But you don't need to sign in as him to do it. If you're on his Home Xbox, anything they buy shows up in the "ready to install" list.

So if my gold runs out, my console is set as my friend's console and he has gold. Does that mean I can download "games with gold" video games each month?

"Leonid Melikhov: Have you had problems with the Xbox One’s eSRAM?

Ian Milham: No, absolutely not. The fact that we partnered for Sony for the beta we’re doing has nothing to do with what our development is on the Xbox One. All of our development on the Xbox One has been going great as well and it looks great on that platform.

Leonid Melikhov: How do you guys feel about DirectX 12?

Ian Milahm: They’re cooking up some pretty crazy stuff – the Frostbite team with the latest things. It’s always pretty impressive, we are going to try to get in every feature we can before we ship."
