VR with Kinect could be awesome imo, one of the main problems with VR currently is lack of input device. With Kinect you will be able to track your whole body so when you hold your hands out in front of you, you will be able to see them in the hmd.
Personally I think this will be something for the next gen though because I really don't think the X1 is powerful enough to power anything demanding. (same goes for project morpheus).
Games need to run @ 90fps at least for an enjoyable low latency experience (to stop motion sickness) and a resolution of at least 1440p or you just won't be able to see anything in fine detail.

Wow, the comment section there does not disappoint.
 
Oh lol....all this time i have been using the Xbox One wireless and not wired. This is definitely the reason why i cannot get the NAT on open and this is also the reason it jumps from moderate to strict.

I had simply not noticed how it said 'wireless' in the network settings on the X1. So what i just did was take a ethernet cable and plug it into my modem router and the other in the Xbox One. In the X1's network settings it says it's wired....yet the connection test completely fails. It keeps loading and loading and then gives me an error....can't get an ip address. This is exactly how i had my 360 set up. I really don't get this.
 
As I mentioned earlier, I think VR is too taxing for current gen consoles but Augmented Reality should easily be doable on X1. We know MS have been rumoured to be working on AR glasses codenamed Forteleza.
After seeing what a small start up company is working on, it's got me excited for the potential reveal of MS' s version.
Take a look.

 
Nevermind...i got wired w0rking now. It was all my bad. I had the ethernet cable into either port 1 or 2 on the modem router and those ports are meant for totally different things. I put it in port 3 and bam....wired connection working. However the NAT stays at moderate, even with ports 88, 3074, 53 and 500 opened up. I have not given my Xbox One a static ip, it's at automatic. A friend of mine said i don't need the other ports cause they are meant for Kinect. Port 80 i cannot open, that is nothing new. So i guess i just have to cope with moderate, right?

Oh and unfortunetely DMZ host didn't work.

Looks like the price cut is helping Xbox One sales, the FIFA bundle is beating the PS4 FIFA bundle and funny enough the Xbox One Destiny Bundle with Kinect is beating the PS4 Destiny bundle at Amazon UK

Just like people predicted it would if X1 got a price drop that's cheaper than the competition.
 
Sharkboy--They had their fix last year. No need to upgrade last year since they had their DLC pass for the year. This year they're finally moving up!
 
still ms should go all out $350/£299 for console only & $399/£330 bundled with 3 games.

In Australia we get deals $499 basic model with 3-4 games.
 
This feels like Japan is trying to over throw the American company after it failed on the PS3 era.

There is no way for a soccer game that is running this way.

I know MS is trying to give the developers all the freedom but they need to crack that whip and tell everybody no way.

The system can run at 1080p

Glad to hear it's only human errors, and no X1 related errors, you'll solve it out in the end

Game on

Yeah man, and you know...moderate is quite alright. So far nobody in my party is having problems because of me and for me it's pretty good as well. Moderate and even strict are definitely more stable on X1 compared to 360.

It's all somewhat a surprise to me...Hideo was at Microsoft's E3 show last year, so to see all this gimping of X1 versions of games...is just odd.

Dumb. Close competition for #1 is the best case scenario for the consumers.

For real. Have your preference but wishing one or the other folds up is just stupid. Maybe if Nintendo was more of a serious player or Sega was still around. But either Sony or Microsoft having a monopoly? That would be bad news.
 
Ridiculous stuff. Those idiots don't realize such a thing would be disastrous for gaming. Cause if that were to happen.....Sony could be lazy and not put an effort into things at all anymore cause there is no competition.
 
If there was no competition Sonys next console would cost 1200.00 and not come with controllers. Games would be released every 6 years. Competition benefits everyone.

And Sony would be telling gamers to work four jobs. Makes sense. When PS3 was $600 they stated gamers should have two jobs to buy one.

Ha ha, we all know which company would run out of money first.

But there's enough place for all the consoles, only r******d jerks wish bad luck for the brand they don't own .

And the article is click bait, if you click it you'll support more bs articles.
