Mr. GOH! Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 I hate the Xbone as much as the next hater, but even I realize that this ad is meant to air over the opening weekend of the NFL season, which is hugely popular. Of course the NFL co-branding takes center stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4b29jUoqHu4 Interface leak. Kind of crappy that when you go back to the dashboard it doesn't pause the game. We need MORE cutscene pausing, not less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faiblesse Des Sens Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 Maybe it will be game dependent? I think it's pretty cool that it doesn't pause, actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 I'm sure it will be, like on 360 how if you hit the guide button most games will pause but some will keep going. Why would you want it to continue though? Other than to show off that the hardware can do it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faiblesse Des Sens Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 I'm just thinking of games where you need to wait around for stuff, don't need it to be paused, can't pause (demons/dark souls), etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 Ah, yeah, that makes sense. There are definitely times when I'll turn to my PC or phone during unskippable cutscenes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only use case I can think of is as FDS says in something like Demon's Souls where I wait in a safe area for health / magic to regenerate.

CorgiShinobi Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 Leaked video of some kid, hell if anyone knows who, which was re-uploaded by others because this kid's video gives us a look at the Xbox One dashboard. TL:DW Windows 8 for Xbox One. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CorgiShinobi Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 Ethan supplied original source, which was removed. At least CrowKnow gave a URL link to the video on LiveLeak, but here it is re-uploaded to YouTube for anyone who hasn't see it yet. All is not lost!

deanb Posted September 20, 2013 Report Share Posted September 20, 2013 Given it lacked buffers, magnetic holders or anything else like that, the Xbox 360 wasn't really engineered to be stood up either. At least this time they've not put feet on the side of the console. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thursday Next Posted September 20, 2013 Report Share Posted September 20, 2013 Nah, not serious, I was never going to get one. At least they've headed the issue off at the pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vecha Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 "We found, interestingly enough," he added, "that 80 percent of people, believe it or not, have their Xbox [360] horizontally.":So fuck the other 20%.We have another console for those who want to store it vertically.

TheMightyEthan Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 Is using it vertically really a big enough deal to choose a console based on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vecha Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 No, but I love picking on them for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mal Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 If it starts bricking consoles then it would be a problem. I think I mentioned before that I only ever had a 360 malfunction because of disc drive problems. The way I operate now with my TV on my desk (Which is fairly large but still) means that the consoles kind of need a small footprint. I also doubt how well they can handle having other stuff on top, especially some electronic. I think my 360 bricked because I put my small cable box on top. Magnets. How do they work? Not like I'm planning on getting a Xbone though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 I really doubt you cable box generated a magnetic field anywhere near strong enough to brick your 360. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deanb Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 Hey it's the Friends App. Functionality isn' too bad, but the visuals and navigation is a bit..eurgh. A feed would be kind of nice to have on Steam, just go "oh hey Person X is playing Dota 2, I might pop in and play with them if I played Dota 2". Instead just have the somewhat static Friends Activity feature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
