Good deal, are you free on Wednesday evening at 7PM central?

I should be. I call Seahawks!

Let's plan on 7PM central as the start time for the game. We can meet online a few minutes before to make sure everything is working right and ready to go.

Is madden worth $40? I don't want to waste my money on a shitty port.

It's not much different than the PS3/360 versions. If you already have it for those it's not worth an upgrade but if you don't have it then it definitely is.

I don't. I haven't played madden since 2012 actually.

If you get it you can join my CFM. We're halfway through season one.

I would say that the next gen versions are markedly improved over the PS3/360 versions. That seems to be the consensus in the community.

I got it. I should have it by Thursday, so if I can tear myself away from BF, I'll try.

I thought that thing was a giant failure (aka, didn't make M$ tons of money)? I wonder why they're giving it another go?

It would get people to buy the Xbox.

I really doubt that. The average consumer will have no idea what that is. That thing is more something that you discover after already owning the console.

This is what cracks me up about MS

Albert Penello coming out defending Xbox after those Tomb Raider articles surfaced comparing the two versions, saying, "It's not a big deal... differences aren't that much, blah blah blah


Then we see this:


Reported Xbox One Patch Expected to Improve Graphical Performance

Microsoft is reportedly looking to improve the Xbox One's graphical performance in an upcoming patch. According to Hot Hardware, gaming insider Pete Doss has stated that Microsoft will relax GPU requirements for Kinect in order to achieve such results. As it is now, the Xbox One reserves 10 percent of its total GPU power for the Kinect, with 8 percent alone required for video processing. The alleged patch will purportedly free up that 8 percent for use in actual gameplay, leaving the remaining 2 percent for the peripheral's voice input processing.

The Xbox One's graphical capabilities recently underwent some scrutiny, with Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition performing better on the PlayStation 4. For a game like Tomb Raider, the reported patch could theoretically allow the Xbox One to produce a more steady frame rate around 30 FPS, instead of varying dramatically throughout gameplay.

The update, however, is not expected to bring Microsoft's console on par with the PlayStation 4, which can consistently display Lara Croft on her new adventure at 60 FPS. While there still may be a difference in overall performance, the human eye is more likely to be bothered by fluctuating frame rates than by a steady stream of fewer frames per second.

The Kinect for Xbox One has been a highly touted feature for the brand new console, although few high-profile games have taken full advantage of the hardware. If Microsoft rolls out the reported patch, developers could utilize more of the console's GPU power, instead of leaving resources for an attachment that they don't intend to use.

Of course he's going to defend it. He's a M$ talking head...and also a clown dick.
