[XB1] Official Xbox One Thread

And even if you are the most hardcore of gamer, this is still non news because you wont be able to fill it up by the time external storage is given the go ahead.

You're one of the most hardcore gamers I've ever seen and I've never seen you play more than 3-4 disk games in a given month. Xbox One HDD will hold 15-20 games at a time, at least for the first couple years. I think you'll be just fine.

I believe you only saw me on the 360 where I only had 5 games and kept them in rotation. NBA got the most work tho. On the PS3 where I have 10 games on disc and over 50 games that I have to pick and choose what to download(again filled up the HDD). Right now my games are
1. NCAA
2. The Show
3. Infamous 2
4. Last of Us
5. Outland
6. Fat Princess
7. DuckTales(Woo oo)
8. DC Universe Online
9. Ratchet and Clank Collection
10. Shadow of the Colossus
11. Saints Row 3
12. BF3

Thats only on the PS3. I have recently ventured into PC gaming and that list is just as big.

That list will be dwindled down over the next month tho. KH remaster and GTA will knock off at least 2 games a piece from the list.

So the most hardcore of gamers being on the cusp of filling it up would seem to make perfect sense, no?

Im starting to believe you think I'm trolling. All I was doing was reporting news. If you want to see me trolling meet me in the Ryse thread

I don't think you're trolling at all. And Ryse looks turrible :yep:

There is unlimited storage that comes with the console for any game install.

I also thought the game installs went away with the DRM changes btw.

I don't know if that's true, but you'll want to install a game to get faster load times from the HDD. Blu ray load times are slower.

MS didn't announce a release date at the huge game show in Seattle this weekend?

Stephen Elop to become new lead of MS' devices division, including Xbox

Microsoft today announced that it will acquire Nokia's Devices & Services division, which includes its smartphone and mobile product arms, for a sum of over $7.1 billion. The acquisition is expected to close sometime in 2014, pending regulatory approval. The landmark deal represents an aggressive expansion to Microsoft's Windows Phone efforts, with Nokia now providing the company with an in-house smartphone development and manufacturing infrastructure.

Nokia CEO Stephen Elop will join Microsoft and lead an "expanded devices team." Julie Larson-Green -- Microsoft's current overseer for Devices and Studio Engineering, which encompasses all hardware, including Xbox -- will continue to lead the division until the acquisition is completed, after which she will join Elop's new team. Elop will lead the new division, including Xbox, at that time.

The Xbox One will launch on Friday 11/22 according to Major Nelson on Twitter earlier this morning-

Still not sure why they couldn't have made this announcement at PAX this weekend.

If you dont have a PC and want to jump on some next gen shooters then the launch line up is pretty good.

If you have a PC then only game worth a shit is Forza 5 and Dead Rising. All the previews of RYSE seem pretty hoo hum so far.

Pretty much the same boat over there in Sony Land.

I will be picking up the system and the Collectors Edition of Forza only.

 

[MrBill]

Possibility of a free game in the US for Launch Day buyers? FIFA 14 was confirmed to be included for European purchases.

 

[Atlas]

either would be fine, but id much rather have forza for free...

 

[Primetime]

Free Forza would be :lebron:

a week before black friday and a week after the ps4 release......good timing.

M$ boosted the CPU by 10% from 1.6GHZ to 1.75GHZ

He wrote an article previously about how close the systems' performances would be. Follow up article.

My argument at the time was whilst the PS4 has a spec advantage over Xbox One; Microsoft has “the Cloud” for processing, scalability, and easing development; particularly for smaller studios.

I’m far from an expert on Cloud technology; yet I occasionally post on our sister site dedicated to the hot topic. When comments say, “you’re falling for Microsoft’s marketing” – I can assure you, I’m not.

Why is the Cloud currently so popular? Because of the potential. Microsoft has a proven history in this field thanks to platforms such as Azure, and with the Xbox One is introducing 300,000 dedicated servers to take advantage of this potential, if not at launch, within the next year.

So Microsoft has the Cloud, an area Sony is comparatively inexperienced and would struggle to match in both knowledge and sheer infrastructure. Where it sounds like Sony made up for this with the PS4 is in pure, unadulterated horsepower; for giving superior graphics performance.

But it looks like we all could have been fooled, myself included. It appears Microsoft is using a multi-module, stacked design in the Xbox One. Underneath that modified Radeon HD 6670 GPU, lies a 175 mm^2 space for something. That something is presumed to be a Volcanic Islands based AMD with a 22nm SOI design featuring 2304 to 2560 stream processors.

So why didn’t Microsoft come straight out with this increased spec, and instead make the Xbox One appear inferior to the PS4? First is the most obvious, it prevents Sony upgrading their console last minute; so in the long-run they are stuck with a potentially less-capable device.
