The Official Xbox One Thread

[Pheran]

I know lots of people like these games, but I couldn't care less about EA Sports.

Time for games

 

[vi edit]

Console gaming has actually been trending down and many casual gamers going over to mobile devices. Consoles are being used more than ever as media hub devices and not straight up gaming systems. MS knows that growth isn't in traditional gamers. It's in "family devices" that rich suburbanite husbands can sell to their wives as an integrated device to reduce clutter and provide easier access to stuff to watch and do. Sony set things up with the PS3. MS slowy tried to gain a foothold through incremental Xbox dashboard updates and improvements. This is a product built from the start to be a media hub.

I'm disappointed if it doesn't do recording though. I wonder if it will still allow you to connect to Windows Media Center for streaming back? With Win8 under the hood I would have hoped they would have done a way for you to hook up a USB TV tuner or something and configure Media Center to record local to the device.

That's what E3 is for, I think. Or they don't want to blow all their load since E3 is just a couple weeks away.

This is my understanding as well, though I thought they were doing some big FIFA thing today. :hmm:

[Durvelle27]

Exclusives will be announced at E3 i believe

 

[lupi]

looks like all they are doing with fifa is saying that the big improvement to the series, if I'm understanding this, will be xbox exclusive (at least for the first year).

 

[Durvelle27]

Graphics aren't to bad

 

[Doppel]

Meh could not give less of a shit about sports games.

 

[TurtleCrusher]

Fifa is only on Xbox?

 

[KaOTiK]

Fifa is only on Xbox?

No, some exclusive mode is.

 

[Aikouka]

Thank God... I thought they were going to say, "...and here's Halo 5!"

 

[Durvelle27]

Now that's what i'm talking about

Forza Motorsport 5 looks awesome

It's just a CG video. :\ (I believe...)

 

[purbeast0]

can't watch it cause i'm at work, but what is with the tv stuff? i know i read you all say you can't record, but can you use it as a set top box? like if i have fios, and run a coax cable to it, can i use it as a fios set top box?

 

[Dominato3r]

New Alan Wake?

 

[Durvelle27]

Quantum Break

Reading the liveblog on Ars (at work, so no video). I love this comment:

"Blah blah blah about cloud-powered games and multi-device games"

 

[Pheran]

OK, that Quantum Break trailer made no sense.

 

[lupi]

was thinking same thing.

 

[Dankk]

Awesome, a new Remedy game. The first interesting thing they've shown to me.

I hope it comes out for PC.

 

[Doppel]

Quantum break trailer was dumb

I don't think it's any different than what the 360 does with Comcast, but you aren't so segmented. Right now, you have to load a separate app, and it takes awhile. This thing seems to just swap to TV. My guess is that you setup your TV settings in the console settings.

they've got to sell always on somehow.

Essentially. It changed the overlay/guide as well. They havent talked about whether you directly connect your coax

and yes that Quantum Break bit was just 100% random
