Don Lapre posted:So do demo xbox ones even exist in stores yet? Its been like 4 months. Everyone has the same fake xbone, looping video and empty controller holders. My local GameStop just got one. The only playable game is Forza, but I finally got to touch the controller and try out the rumble triggers. They were kind of cool. The TV wasn't set up right though, and kept covering 1/3 of the screen with some kind of weird overlay (pictures of parrots??) At first I thought it was the Xbox doing it, but then I realized the overlay had the TV logo on it.

Tyree posted:Comcast's newest cable boxes are called the X1 platform. Don't have anything to do with or any ties to microsoft though. Comcast also has a big partnership with EA. Their cable boxes are going to stream console-quality games. It's like they're trying to cause brand confusion. Edit: \/\/ Talkin' about this. Seems to be in beta, still. Just like another X1. ![]() Cable boxes will probably always be hot trash, though. Bass Bottles fucked around with this message at 18:54 on Mar 9, 2014 |

The free to play games are also PS4/PC, like Planetside 2, Blacklight, and Warframe. Though Warframe might come to xb1?

Cowman posted:Twitch is working to be the "official" gaming stream service. Don't they do the big Dota/Lol tournaments and a number of other gaming things? I don't think they do streams that aren't gaming related anymore so they definitely want to buddy up to game companies to get exclusive deals and stuff. They are the OFFICIAL STREAMING PARTNER of E3 this year, also.

wottermelon posted:Are they also planning on keeping their ludicrous 30-second delay for E3? I get the reasoning for why they changed everything, but it still pisses me off that they did this to most of their streamers. I don't have high hopes.

Delusibeta posted:Spoiler alert: Plex is already on the Roku and the Amazon Fire TV, which are substantially cheaper options if you haven't already bought an Xbone. The Xbox One Plex app is an unofficial third-party app from a member of the Plex forums. quote:CJPresler, absolute worst case... Plex Home Theater is an Open Source application with its code on Github and the Plex Developer Center has a lot of documentation, so it isn't exactly like I would be starting from scratch

Funkmaster General posted:Netflix etc being behind the paywall is dumb, but who on earth doe it really matter to? If you had Netflix before getting an Xbox, you probably already had somewhere to watch it. If you got the xbox first, you probably got gold anyway, and if not then at least they're pretty open about it. I don't see it coming as a nasty surprise to anyone. People keep bringing it up because it's the perfect example of Microsoft's weird almost passive-aggressive consumer hostility. If you steal all the change from the couch cushions every time you visit a friend's house you're not really going to bankrupt them or anything. They probably forgot it was there in the first place. But it says something about you and how you treat your friends.

When I look at my friends list on 360 I can't see what specific games people are playing on Xbox One. It just says "Playing Xbox One" all the time. So I just checked xbox.com and it still gives me the generic "Playing Xbox One" status. Am I not able to see what specific games people are playing unless my profile has logged in on an Xbox One or something?

Chasiubao posted:It's just the way the system works. 360 only ever sees that generic message, but the opposite works fine. That makes sense, but why can't I see it on the website?

If I just have a 360 and an active Gold subscription, can I claim the free Xbox One games? I'm trying to search for them on Xbox.com and they don't show up. Actually, no Xbox One games are showing at all! Edit: Figured it out. Have to go to the Xbox One games page and then click on a gray box in the middle of the page?? Apparently the search function completely ignores the existence of Xbox One. Bass Bottles fucked around with this message at 04:50 on Jun 4, 2014 |

Hello friends. Ubisoft says that the final specs for AC:U are not locked down, so there might be a 1080p patch for PS4. Also, it looks like Driveclub isn't reviewing as well as Forza Horizon 2. Something for everyone today ![]()

The PS4 controller problem is a lot easier to deal with. It's just the rubber coating that comes off. The sticks don't actually break, and you can buy cheap little covers to replace them.

Soul Glo posted:Having to buy extra stuff to make your controller not lovely means that your controller is lovely, hth For FIFA players like T Bowl who will break whatever controller they touch, the PS4 controller will be a lot easier to deal with. Buying little rubber caps sounds better than mailing in broken controllers.

The_Franz posted:Neither of these issues should be happening. If your controllers are falling apart due to vigorous use within a year of launch then they are just defective, especially when their predecessors withstood the same punishment for years without falling apart. ![]()
