I know, how many are confirmed day one games?
BF4
Forza 5 (confirmed day 0)
Watch Dogs

Should be good enough to start with, the wife will want some dance game BS but i'll avoid that by claiming im skint and she needs a xmas present.
Im due a sports game (Fifa,madden,tiger) refresh but historically the first next gen titel isnt worh tthe upgrade (Pro evo and fifa on 360 were barely improved first time but were still fun).

I got my 360 on second batch so i got DOA, PGR Burnout and GRAW with mine.

I only fear watchdogs will be like the first assasins creed and after about 15% in it gets boring doing the same side mission stuff over and over.

Is there a confirmed list of day one titles? im going to have to preorder some, dont want to be sat with a shiny black box and nothing to play on it.

The 6 games I listed are all confirmed Day One releases so far. Regarding Fifa, it looks like the developers are aiming for a proper next-gen game, rather than simply a shiny new coat of paint on the current-gen versions, but we'll see on that.

This is the problem. I think in 3-4 years time we'll be agog at what the Xbone is doing. But Microsoft keeping schtum about what they have planned is doing them no favours.

Agree 100%. While it's unlikely, I could see in 3-4 years even PS4 owners praising the Xbox One and how it's doing things, but if MS don't at least get a decent foothold early on they may not have enough support to actually achieve their long-term goals.

interesting quote in that interview

He also talked about bans. Now games are tied to licenses which are in turn tied to Xbox Live accounts, does being banned mean being withheld your game collection?

"Absolutely not," Hryb answered definitively. "You will always have access to the games you've purchased.

So you won't lose access to your purchased games if you're banned.

I reckon they planned that, then realized they couldn't do it :p But good news none the less.

Microsoft are just inept at selling stuff properly. Its why they lost the mp3 player wars, and the tablet wars, and the smartphone wars. Windows 8 is doing well, but too little too late. Its a miracle the xbox is successful at all considering their record.

So what would happen if your Xbox Live account was hacked? I'm guessing you couldn't play any of your games at all until MS restored it to you?
 
I'd guess you'd lose access to your games if the license is tied to your account and that would be a complete and total **** take considering how long it currently takes them to "investigate" and restore your account after losing it.
 
I just had a thought...

If you get your account banned from Xbox Live, you don't lose your game collection, you can still play them.

If you're banned from Xbox Live, how do you get online to authenticate? Is the authentication a seperate part of Xbox Live, or do you effectively play them offline? If you play them offline, then there is obviously that functionality built into the console.

I could be way off base here, but they thought did just run through my head.

Microsoft talking in riddles again :o.

Edit: Actually, you can download OS updates without have a LIVE account so I guess online authentication will still be there. Maybe you can login to the LIVE account but you can't access any features.

Don Mattrick is not a public speaker. Nor is he a techie, nor apparently is he a gamer. He saw what Steve Jobs did with the iphone launches and thought "year i can do that" No Don, no you can't. Jobbs could sell ice to eskimos because he had a gift, an aurora about him that made people listen, and he had a talent for talking up all the good points and not talking about the bad ones.

Don managed to do completely the opposite with their first press event, and then spent so much time at E3 showcasing games (to try and counter the debate that Xbox was now a PVR and not about games) that they left no time to actually go through the console pros that they should have done at the launch event.

OT but Don Mattrick reminds me of the successful brother from Step Brothers - 'Its the ****ing Catalina Wine Mixer!' :D

I found the quote far more revealing as like the interviewer I didnt feel confident in assuming that...
To which the interviewer commented: "Yay."

To which Hryb replied: "Yay - really? Come on! You had to expect that."

Im pretty damn sure as part of the XBL handshake that both authentication of your games library aswell as your standing within XBL will be checked. If you are XBL banned you just wont get access but your games will be checked - easiest way for them to 'automate' that requirement.

ps3ud0 :cool:

I like the look of all of them, but cant afford to remortgage the house to get them all.

Seems there will need to be a OC UK family sharing thread :)

Also, has there been any word on if you can be a member of more than one family?

Interesting new tidbit - you can plug your Xbox 360 into the Xbone. So you could play two games at once!

I had read a rumour, probably on IGN, that MS were looking to sell something that attached to your Xbox One to allow you to play 360 games, didnt think it was a 360 itself they were trying to add :)
