**XBOX ONE** Official Thread

I hope they do amend the friends online thing, like someone mentioned it does feel very alone playing MP games and this is the reason I hated MP games on the PC! Also where's recent players gone?! How do I rage?? :(

Also these clips that my friends upload are they actually uploading them or the auto DVR? I watched a clip-pit of Soulja capping a flag, most boring :(

Most of them are auto capture. The ones on BF4 are from when I've been promoted.

No more recent players list and the party chat only sometimes works. You have to reboot your xbox to fix it.

I don't understand why they took something that worked perfectly and made it a 100x worse.
 
Well I very much doubt it's got anything to do with local content.

In true Microsoft style, yep that's all it says and then dumps me back to the home screen.

FYI For anyone interested, its started working now, so looks like a problem with live / servers.

You say that like Sony's errors on the PS4 are any more helpful :rolleyes:

To be honest the amount of crashes I've had with games on the PS4, Sony is just as useless at explaining what went wrong.
 
Is anyone getting a clicking kinda noise from te fan at all on the xbox one? Mine seems to have started doing something last night where it sounds like the fan is spinning but catching on something, can't put my finger on the noise but thats about the best likeness I can think of!

Lol, I didn't say anything about sony...

I was referring to how Microsoft never explain ANY errors on any of their software / products! It's always some random exception and reference number.

Purdy has this , think he sent it back for a replacement :(
 
I'm feeling more and more disappointed with the Xbox One at the moment, I pick up to try having a play of BF4 and it just is far too buggy to enjoy a quick bash at the game (this is EA/Dice problem rather than the console, but it's a problem either way).

Forza 5 just feels way too unfinished - I turned off the music as it was really annoying, and there's hardly any sound in the game! It's such a barebones game that feels rushed.

Wife loves Just Dance 2014, but you could probably run that game on an original Xbox and it would look the same.

I just hope some of the early 2014 titles make me feel happy again! Need a nice big game I can get stuck in to - Mass Effect, GTA style!

Get back into Fifa its great , even though I really wanted to get into Forza I have hardly used it due to all my time been used up on Fifa:)

BF4 is a mess ATM but there's a patch coming this week that should sort it out! COD is excellent on the xb1 though for quick games.
 
We so far after a first weekend with both consoles for me the PS4 just edges it but only by a hair. I prefer the Xbox interface and the multitasking is better but the bugs let it down a little. I found the PS4 interface a little unresponsive at times and sparse, but an improvement over the PS3.

The games are much of a muchness, BF4 look pretty much the same on both systems and with the exception of DR3 ALL the exclusive titles were a bit of a letdown. Killzone is very pretty but uninvolved, and Forza doesn't seem much of a leap, I was hoping for weather, dusk or night races were the lighting conditions change. Drivatars add some spice and it's a good game but more Forza 4+ than Forza 5.

Thing that amazed me most, the controllers. The XB1 controller is comfy but the sticks don't quite feel right, both of mine have 'rough' zones were the internals are rubbing which gets annoying. Having always hated Dual Shock controllers I expecting to keep up the trend, but it was amazing. This slight increase in size means I no longer get hand cramp using it and the thumb sticks feel perfect, but how short is that charge cable!! :D

XB1 still my primary console but I'm glad I now have the best of both world for the next few years :)
 
Stupid question but I don't suppose I could plug the One into my PC using a digital optical cable and the PC output the sound from the One?

I game on a monitor with no speakers and have no means of a digital input of yet for sound.

That's exactly what I do, purely as I have no TV but a decent PC setup, and it means I can switch between my speakers/headphones when I want!

I've not played FIFA in 10 years!

I've avoided COD, don't want to spend £40+ on it. Will try and borrow/rent it.

I agree in general with this. It certainly isn't a bad game but it does feel rushed. I will probably trade it in for Ryse at some point.

On highlight for me though is the ability to drive a 2013 Fiesta ST.... I like this feature for some reason.... can't put my finger on why. :p
 
I noticed the LB button on my Day One controller doesn't click properly or feel as responsive as the RB. Should I contact Asda or MS for a replacement?
