which version of Windows do you guys have to get the streaming working? I've tried everything but the screen just greys out as soon as the stream is meant to show

are you guys on OS version 6.2.13176.0?

Make sure you update the Xbox app as well.

Could you buy a cheap windows tablet and install 10 and use it for streaming?

So my XO arrived today. Can't help but notice how sharp and rough the analogue sticks feel compared to the 360's. The diameter is smaller too. Odd design choice.

Did anyone notice? Just got used to it?

McPhee · 21 Jun 2015 at 21:07

TBH the QC on the controllers is rubbish. The 360 pads were solid. The Xbox One pads have a nice design, but the quality isn't up to Xbox 360 standards. Mine flexes a lot and the analogue sticks are grinding on the shell.

You'll get used to it and when you go back to the 360 pad you'll notice the improvements.

Yeah, the build quality is worse than the 360 days. Not to an extent that it's a problem mind. Presumably a compromise to make the pad lighter.

McPhee · 22 Jun 2015 at 00:23

It's a problem with my pad. It flexes enough that I'm confident I could snap with very little effort. I'll be replacing it shortly as I hear things have improved since the 'Day One Edition' pads.

Just got my preview program invite

As an aside, I've just seen a trailer for the new Hitman game. I had no idea it was due out on the 8th December :eek:

I don't think I've seen a Q4 as packed as this year's. Mental.

ScarySquirrel · 22 Jun 2015 at 09:45

I'm very excited about the new Hitman, however it sounds like a bit of an odd way to release the game. They're releasing digital only on 8th December, and it'll be an incomplete game. They'll then release regular content updates into 2016, and only when the content updates are complete will they release the retail version, which will be the complete game.

Not sure I'm a fan of this approach.

As long as they're calling it Hitman [Beta] and people who buy it aren't having to pay the RRP (till full release), I will buy into that. Been waiting for a decent Hitman since HM: Contracts. Bloodmoney was meh. Still miss the glory of HM2 from PC days...

After Absolution, my interest in this new one will be limited somewhat I think. Blood Money was the pinnacle of the series and felt like a proper Hitman game.

Same, Absolution just felt like an action game which could also be played stealthily, Blood Money was perfect.

Who the hell is doing the gears remaster, ruining the atmosphere and looks damn right shoddy in places

Shame as was looking forward to the remaster

cu3ed · 22 Jun 2015 at 18:32

I believe they said the Beta and some unfinished element's, and was a small download.

Just watched a comparison video and unfortunately a lot of it looked better before which is disappointing, those images included.
