**XBOX ONE** Official Thread

[antijoke]

Me too. 720p is unacceptable (if true) and for all of these people that are saying about coding for new architecture have that argument pretty much voided straight away considering where now back in line with x86-64 architecture which developers have been used to for years.

Just everything about this console screams rushed to me, the reversals in policies, whether or not you had to have kinect for the thing to work... and not even having an adapter that allows previous xbox users to use their headphones on the new system is mind-boggling.

The whole reason many people prefer the Xbox was down to the community... but talking to people using the default headset in the box leaves me a little cold. And don't even mention using the Kinect microphone. I will wait until next week to get this clarified but if this turns out to be true, I'm cancelling.

It's the esram that's the architecture (along with the rest of the xbox one) in question not x64

My XboxONE preorder is staying. I'm not cancelling it.

a lot of these rumours dont bother me.

As for resolutions, I don't mind what resolution a game is. 720p and above is fine by me. It's the framerate I want to see solid, I'm happy to see a resolution drop inorder to allow for that.

So much this. Cancelling a pre-order because MS sound unsure of themselves is bloody ridiculous, its's not like it's going to blow up in your lounge and kill you is it. Who cares.

On a positive note, edge have a rundown of the systems and prefer the xbox controller over the sony one

People who don't want to/can't afford to spend the best part of £500 on something that may not work properly? Once these rumours have been addressed, and I'm sure if they were completely unfounded Microsoft would have been jumping at the bit to dismiss them, then I know I'll be happier.

I was never buying at launch anyway and once all this has passed, in whatever way it does, I fully intent to have an XBox One.

It wouldn't have the power to.

Had a look at both of those wheels in the video about the new force-feedback stuff, and they both will probably be rather expensive while neither look that great. Hopefully Logitech/Fanatec will make something for it.

I am not too worried, it is all just rumour right now.

Especially on the XB1 OS instability. Of the two companies with new consoles, which has the most experience in building x86 operating systems?

Yes but they've tried to react to the ps4 specs by overclocking the chips

And you don't think they would bother checking the overclocks?

That particular company also didn't do too well with the last lot of launch consoles.

So what about the rrod? Does that suggest MS are thorough at testing their consoles?

 

[Woden]

That was a hardware issue, not OS. I don't think they will make that mistake again either. I bet at some point they had the prototype hardware running fine then some guy just turned around and said "Great, now get a ******* giant fan in there, don't worry about the size, we have 7 million betamax players we can use as cases".

I just cannot believe how much Microsoft messed this console up. It is in no way acceptable to be aiming for 720p in 2013/14. After all the other issues and negativity that has finally made me cancel.

Spending 400+ on a 720p capable console is utter madness. I could understand the issues on the previous generation but next gen should be 1080p standard and not a maybe if we get the software tools working a little better. Microsoft are going to lose any leeway they gained with the 360 being so popular, when they should have came out fighting with a really well designed powerful console.

I'll pick one up later on down the line for Halo.

you cancel because some games might not run @1080p ? are you crazy ill take smooth gameplay @ 720p 60fps any day

 

[Huggie86]

Everything I play on the PC is 1080 or above. For the cost of the xbone I don't think its unreasonable to expect parity with the other gaming formats. If the ps4 is managing to do it at a lesser cost so should the xbox.

 

[peahead]

Everything i play on pc is above 1080p it will not stop me from wanting to play games on XBOX ONE because they run at a lower resolution..games can still look amazing @ 720p if they are done right

And many games are 1080p anyway, you make out that everything is 720, when really the major problem is with one game running at 720 at the moment, forza is 1080 60fps and looks stunning with it.

 

[Ryan-3]

If you really want 1080p so much, why not stick to PC gaming? Neither console will match what we get on PC. I'll happily take my preferred exclusives with my preferred controller in 720p. I remember when I first got GTA IV on PC, the difference to the consoles was night and day, but the enjoyment was equal.

Really couldn't of said it better! if 720p means consistent frame rate with equal graphical richness then I'm happy. I'm buying both but the Xbox will still be my primary system for all titles.

 

[thenameDS]

I guess it's all just rumours right now, I will believe it when a credible source says something or there is any evidence.

Ghosts on 720p I don't think that's accurate, I'm pretty sure microsoft would definitely want it at 1080p like the ps4 especially when they market it as the console for COD.

 

[Broken Hope]

which has the most experience in building x86 operating systems?

Microsoft also have massive experience creating development environments and drivers and yet they appear to be behind in both in regards to XB1.
