You and me both, dude! :fistpump:

 

[leaffan]

It will never happen.

Based on the amount of bitching thats still going on about it they better have a strong launch with it working without issues or its getting taken out in the next sku.

I would consider myself as avg. Of a console gamer your going to get and all I see with that preview is stuff I may check out once or twice and never use again. Its copl and all but I just dont give two fucks about talking to my tv. Just put the game in and play.

Its that whole ms trying to make the xbone an all in one box.

It's MS having a consistent product for everyone that purchases it to allow developers to utilize the possibilities. The kinect is as much a part of XB1 as the controller is.

all the workouts on XBL are free for gold members till the end of 2014... pretty sweet considering they have p90x, insanity and a bevy of other beachbody workouts... also the kinect tracking looks pretty damn good to me...

Those pretty Insanity people are bullying that poor guy. LOL. He has no chance.

That said, if something like this got people to exercise, it's a good thing. That angry YouTube videogame guy might die though.

 

[stevsta]

so what games are you guys getting

for sure I have madden and 2k via amazons upgrade system but I want to get an fps and not sure if I should just get ghosts or bf4

 

[Atlas]

ghosts, forza, bf4, dr3 and prob madden and ryse if they do the b2g1 free deal...

 

[jms493]

Forza...

 

[Primetime]

Ghosts, 2K, and then FIFA, Forza, or DR3. Haven't decided.

 

[Point Blank]

That Ray Lewis & Brian Urlacher XBone commercial was pretty dope.

 

[Nucking Futs]

Nothing that we already don't know but here's a new XB1 Comercial.

Xbox is out next week and you will need every bit of that 500GB hard-drive if you are getting a number of launch games. Get all the install sizes of the games through here.

We already knew about the Call of Duty install size, courtesy of Moonlightswami, when he received his console early and spilled all the information on the store page of some games.

Here’s the list of all we know about said launch titles, it is unclear if the sizes will be the same for digital and physical:

Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag – 20GB
Battlefield 4 – 33GB
Call of Duty: Ghosts – 39GB
Dead Rising 3 – 19GB
FIFA 14 – 8GB
Fighter Within – 9.2GB
Forza Motorsport 5 – 31GB
Just Dance 2014 – 22GB
Killer Instinct – 3.4GB
Lococyle – 13GB
Madden NFL 25 – 12GB
NBA 2K14 – 43GB
NBA Live 14 – 9GB
Powerstar Golf – 3.9GB
Ryse: Son of Rome – 34GB
Skylanders: Swap Force – 15GB
Xbox Fitness – 246MB
Zoo Tycoon – 2.6GB
Zumba World Party – 24GB

 

[Golden Taters]

Fifa 14 (8GB) + NBA Live 14 (9GB) + Madden 25 (12GB) = 29GB

NBA 2K14 = 43GB


Ugh...

Buying every single launch game and installing them all at once still doesn't come close to filling that harddrive.

5 Reasons to buy Xbone over PS4

Cloud: Sony SNE may have bought Gaikai, but Microsoft is Microsoft. As this generation continues, we’re going to see the true benefits of having the resources of one of the largest tech companies in the world backing your console. “Project Mountain” is a $700 million data center built for Xbox One and Office 365, and more games will take advantage of that computing power as time goes on. In the early days, expect to see the full benefits of Microsoft’s cloud services in games like Titanfall.

A lot of gamers would argue that Xbox Live was the more reliable multiplayer service in the last generation, so Sony’s got some catching up to do. The fact that PSN is now a paid service suggest that it’s working on it, but for right now I’d bank on Xbox Live for better matchmaking and more reliable multiplayer.

Kinect: The Kinect never quite found its footing on the Xbox 360, but Microsoft believes in this technology. It’s a fully-featured depth sensing camera that, in my limited time with it so far, appears to be a huge improvement over the previous generation. If you want to do P90x with your Xbox, you can do that. If you want to use dragon shouts by actually shouting or command your squad with your voice, you can do that too. And I’ve got a feeling that the best uses of the Kinect are yet to come. It’s odd, new, and still brimming with potential. Why not take a chance on the future?

Next-gen shouldn’t just be about playing the same old games with fancy new graphics. This is hardware that can really change the way we interact with games, and that’s worth exploring.

Controller: The Dualshock 4 is a big improvement over the Dualshock 3, but the Xbox controller is still a beautiful little piece of industrial design. The Xbox One controller doesn’t fix what isn’t broken, but it builds on the now classic design in every way. Offset analog sticks remain a great way to game, and rumbling triggers actually make the experience feel different. It’s also better balanced, and has an improved d-pad. We’ve come a long way since the dinner plates.

For shooter fans especially — a giant chunk of the gaming public — the Xbox controller design is tested, successful, and worth sticking with. In an industry dominated by cross-platform titles, some of the biggest differences between these two consoles are not on the screen, but in your hand. Controller preference is a bigger deal than it appears.

Exclusives: Software sells hardware. Titanfall is probably the next-gen game that has generated more buzz than any other, and it’s not coming to PS4. On day one we get Lococycle, Ryse, Dead Rising, Forza, Fighter Within and Crimson Dragon. Quantity-wise, that’s a little more to play with than on the PS4. In the future, I’m very curious to see what Project Spark can bring to the table — it looks something like Microsoft’s answer to Littlebigplanet.

On top of that, Halo fans around the world have likely already made their decision based on that franchise alone. Exclusives come down to a matter of taste, and Sony performed very well towards the end of last generation. This, however, is a whole new ball game, and Microsoft is coming out swinging.

Entertainment: Much to the chagrin of gamers everywhere, Microsoft chose to focus on TV and entertainment options in its Xbox One reveal rather than games. But by now, we know that the system has games and, exclusives aside, they’re a lot of the same games the PS4 has. A wealth of entertainment options, complete with Kinect controls, represent a valuable expansion to the capabilities that Microsoft slowly added to the Xbox 360 over the course of the previous generation. Microsoft’s partnerships with the likes of Time Warner Cable, Verizon Fios, Comcast, Xfinity and the NFL make this a very attractive option to gamers with cable. Plus, a Halo series produced by Spielberg is hard to argue with.

Add in MP3 support, DLNA streaming and audio CDs, and Xbox One can handily serve as an entertainment hub for the whole living room. I play games as much as anyone, but I still use my console for a whole lot of other things. It’s worth making those things a priority as well.

Amazon upgraded my Xbox One to Day One release today. I don't need both systems right now I'm going to flip it. Which is perfect because some Xbox fanboy at work today was saying he'd buy one for $750. :kobe:
