Xbox One - General Discussion Thread

I need to finish games before I take advantage of some of these sales so lol I didn't even consider Crimson Dragon. That said I am immensely enjoying FIFA 14 and Forza Motorsport 5, which I got free, (with the Car Pass) right now. It looks like 2015 I'm buying a Wii U lol.

Had to look up how to do spoiler tags myself before posting in the PS4 thread.

To do put [ spoiler ] before the text, and [ /spoiler] after the text. Of course, no spaces in the brackets.

Or even easier, highlight the text you want to hide behind the spoiler tag then click the icon in the toolbar that looks like a comic book voice bubble.

EDIT EDIT:

Nevermind. I see what comic book bubble you mean now. Next to the font.

Thanks! Easier than typing it out.

In case anyone cares Titanfall is now the best selling X1 game to date.

Titanfall has been incredibly strong on Xbox One according to Moore. "Sales are always going to be inhibited and governed by the install base, but [Titanfall] is attaching incredibly well," he says. "Titanfall is the best selling title on Xbox One lifetime to date."

Makes sense since that was the platform it was most heavily promoted for.  I wonder if they count the bundled copies?  Also another strike against cross-gen games since it sold better on a platform with 5% the installed base.  Good news all around.

 
But that's a little subjective. I mean does EA know how well Microsoft's own games have sold themselves? I wouldn't be surprised if it is the best selling game for the platform, but I don't think EA has enough information to be saying that themselves.

The best selling X1 and PS4 game to date is COD Ghosts. So I assume he's saying Titanfall outsold Ghosts on X1.

1001 Spikes launched as a downloadable title yesterday. Super fan-effing-tastic if you like challenging platformers. My quick impressions.

Gameplay video showing single-player, co-op, and competitive multiplayer:

also Outlast was rated for Xbox One

I imagine Transistor will be the next one announced and then we just need to know how long the time exclusive is for No Man's Sky

 
Honestly the biggest "indie" game I'm looking forward to on my Xbox One is Hyper Light Drifter.

For me, it's Pier Solar HD. Don't know why, but thy old school charm oozes out of that game. It should hit very soon.

I was surprised we didn't these anything about Below at E3.
 
I am not sure if folks here have heard of Cuphead (I had not until I saw the E3 trailer) but this game is absolutely gorgeous.

Yes yes, Ori and the Blind Forest and Cuphead have been talked up heavily this E3 and I can see why.

Headset Question.  I currently have some older Turtle Beach headhphones and I use the DSS processor which optical is fed to it.  I'm a bit tired of all the cables and multiple headsets I have.

I was thinking of getting the PS4 Gold Wireless Headphones since I have a PS4 also.  Do those hook up to the XBOX ONE with the adapter?  Would I just run a cable from the headphones into the controller?  Do I need to run anything else to the console?

Trying to eliminate clutter....one headphones would be nice.

I currently have the TB, and the old PS3 headset (no cable out on that one)

I own the Gold Headset (great value) and use it on both my PS4 and X1. You simply connect it to the controller using the X1 stereo adapter and you are all set. However, this also means that the headset will only produce STEREO sound on the X1. If you want surround sound you'll have to buy a different wireless headset.

How is the quality with the Gold Headset on the X1? The current XBOX ONE Headset is only Stereo. The DSS I have now is ok, but all the wires are a mess...haha. I figure I could sell my PS3 and Turtle Beach for the Gold Headset.

The sound quality is very good especially given the price. They are on par with the PULSE headset Sony released a few years back. Obviously, you can do better but not at this price point. Also, the Gold Headset is on sale at Amazon for $80 right now. Meanwhile, GS/BB are running trade in promos which could net you as much as $150 for your PS3.

Really comes down to price on what to get.. and whether you want surround. The Astro A50s are still tough to beat, you can usually grab a manufacturer's refurb from eBay for $199 ($100 off MSRP). Turtle Beach has the Stealth 500X coming out this Fall if you're willing to wait, that'll run $229.

Could sell off the old headphones and DSS to put towards either.

If you just want stereo, I hear those Sony cans are pretty darned good. Especially for $80.

 
World Cup has started, not huge on my priority list but I downloaded the Brazil Now App and it's pretty neat. Played some Forza 5 and got a notification that Croatia scored. Pulling up the app you get like the same stats as If you were playing FIFA.

In case anyone is interested I noticed on Reddit that it's been said that the "Exclusive" content Sony's been hyping and pushing for Destiny is only going to be a timed exclusive. That's certainly good news since it sounds like some interesting things.

This news makes me wonder if that Far Cry 3 co-op experience is really an exclusive or simply a timed benefit.

Most likely a timed benefit too.

 
Destiny is fantastic, been playing the alpha all afternoon.  In fact I think I'll go back to playing it..

You see that really irks me, not that the content will be a timed exclusive (that fact is awesome) but that Sony does this deliberately. With every video from the Microsoft Presser they accompanied them with First on Xbox One, they were upfront about it with no deception. I mean look at what Sony did with the GTA V reveal, they basically just didn't show the end of the video that said Xbox One & PC. Auugh

Why would they want to show that at there press conference? It will be like free promotion for their competition. No console makers has ever done that before.

I thought it was very disappointing since Sony doesn't tend to stoop that low, but lets remember Microsoft did that not too long ago at last E3.

In other news Dead Rising 3 is $40 Digital if you're a gold member. Going to trade in my physical copy at that price and I have to say Microsoft is really keeping these Gold discounts coming.

They didn't have to specifically show it but throughout their conference they basically made this big "Only on Playstation" thing talking about all this exclusive DLC, and making games like Grim Fandago, GTA 5, and Little Big Planet 3 appear to be PS4 exclusives only to have people discover more and more after the conference those facts simply weren't true.

It just comes off in bad taste to me, Microsoft has done the same things in their past conferences where they act like they get exclusive DLC, and games only to have it come out it's just timed crap. Microsoft appeared to have learned from their mistakes using their "First on Xbox" slogan instead of pretending it's only on Xbox, but now Sony's playing Microsoft's old game.

Little Big Planet 3 is a PS4 exclusive because Sony owns the studio that makes it. The only thing that they said about GTA 5 is that PS3 and 360 owners can transfer their saves over to the PS4.

A Media Molecure Developer posted on his Twitter that Little Big Planet 3 is also coming to the PS3.

Also Sony used the same GTA 5 trailer that Rockstar used to announce the next-generation version however in Sony's version they intentionally cut out the PC and Xbox One logo's. Instead it just said "Coming Playstation 4".
