Xbox One System Discussion

I was under the impression that Kinect was one of the first steps into VR territory. It's kind of like a primitive holodeck, or reverse holodeck.

The way the cam detects and distinguishes objects, to me, seems like VR but backwards.

It has that potential to be a very useful tool for the next steps into vr. Getting one to one motion tracking is a crucial step. Its an early, incomplete step, but still important in vr. The next step of course is a display and im eagerly awaiting to see what MS and Sony have come up with for that.

If you guys are looking for a decent deal on the one, TRU is doing a buy 1, get 1 40% off. So it's pretty much 20% off each game.

The highs & lows of Xbox One launch line-up

Apparantly COD Ghosts isn't much better than the 360 version but the rest is pretty positive

EDIT: IGN done goofed up....

CORRECTION: Our original story suggested that players' Xbox One consoles may reboot without warning due to cloud updates. This has been corrected to note that it's the host servers that may reboot during multiplayer games. We regret the error.

To be fair, I didnt think the ps4 version was a huge leap at all. Was slightly disapointed with it.

As for this line up, its pretty awesome and varied. Forza, battlefield and Killer Instinct look nailed on to be great. If Ryse comes good, that will be 4 great games day 1 id like to own. Be interesting to see if fifa is any better than current gen.

CoD is probably one of the worst games to use to judge next gen performance. Even maxed out PCs can't make the game look good. It's just too damned old at this point.

Agreed on KI and Ryse. Definitely the visual standouts of the lanuch line up IMO. I haven't seen much of Killzone though. That series is usually incredible looking.

Yea I didnt expect huge leaps but even the textures look average. I watched it and thought how good the current gen looked against it. Might be different playing it.
Ryse looks stunning. Also Forza looks pretty special. Good times.

 

[snappahead]

Oh yeah, Forza. I'm not a racing guy so I always forget about that. I hear it's a beautiful game.

 

[darthviper107]

Forza looks good, but I'm not really into racing simulators, but Need for Speed will be out too which I think might be fun since it's more of an arcade racer.

Holy crap, this game's gonna be insane

Did his clothes fly off at the end?

It's funny to think that there was a time when people were worried it was going to be too serious.

That does look pretty dam impressive. The skype part was really good. I can see problems ahead in different countries but if they get this running smooth and bug free, thats pretty awesome.
