You could probably use the voice controls from far away. It is pretty good a picking things up. The camera stuff though, probably not.

Hilarious. I must admit to a little raging myself though...

Funny what a bunch of transistors can do

Found this on the xbox.com forums while searching for info on how to stream video to my XB1 from PC. Apparently you cannot browse the library on your PC but have to tell the PC where to play the video to. It's easier to use, just right click the video and select play to and click your xbox system. However it means you can't pull videos off a DLNA compatible NAS box. However there are apps that can direct videos to be played to specific devices on your network that run on android or iOS.


Oh but .mkv videos don't work at all.

This is a huge help to me. Thank you very very very much for this info. While it's a bit cumbersome to use my PC to stream it, the fact it does stream allows me to relax while watching videos from work. It makes only 3D support left on my list of reasons to keep my PS3.

Why would a game build that in? Is it to encourage people not to curse during multiplay and yet the game is too stupid to turn that game off during single? That is absolutely ridiculous.

He is making a joke. Someone posted a video of him cursing during NBA2k14 and it threw a technical foul for cursing.

I saw that.

I doubt ms drops kinetic and it will get better. I still have no interest in it though.

To me the only reason to get an Xbox would be if I had interest in kinnect. I've never been a big fan of Xbox exclusive games. What it can do seems pretty neat but I bet half the time I would not use it because I'm too used to the old way haha.

If Shenmue ever came back though I would need to get one to play that.

 

[robvp]

imagine a new shenmue bundled with remastered 1&2

 

[cmdrdredd]

Anyone know how long DR3 is for an initial playthrough of the story?

 

[sze5003]

That would be amazing yet very unlikely. That would make me want an Xbox again. I spent hours on the original Xbox on Shenmue 2 just messing around. Wish I still had that big old box.

 

[smackababy]

I can't seem to find it, but I'd estimate like 10 hours, but I goofed around a bit. I did most of the side missions and saved most of the people, I think.

First playthrough took me to like day 5 I wanna say.

Good enough thanks. Do you think it is possible to marathon through it in the course of a weekend or is it one of those games that are best enjoyed in parts? A hour here, a couple hours there...

I'm just wondering if I should try breaking it up to avoid burning myself out on it.

 

[smackababy]

Well, I basically marathoned through it the first weekend of launch and still go back. It is pretty fun. I am still roaming around trying to collect everything and find all the patterns.

Once you max out though, it is super easy on normal mode. Pretty much everything dies in one hit expect psychos / bosses. Still have a blast mowing down zombies though.

They'll sell a disc drive less version before a kinectless version.

I agree personally.

Amazon has some in stock currently for anyone still looking

For me it's the games. The only Sony exclusives from last gen that I actually liked were the God of War games. GT5 was a huge let down and GT6 isn't even next gen. Out of the gate, the XB1 gets me Forza 5 and next year brings Titanfall as well as virtually all of the same AAA third party titles that the PS4 will see in 2014. If the PS4 comes out with good exclusives in the next few years that aren't Killzone or Uncharted I'll think about getting onboard then, but for now the XB1 has virtually all the games I am interested in playing on a game console. I have a PC for everything else.

The Kinect never even came out of the box.

If anyone is looking for accessories, Toys R Us has a coupon (bunch of coupons) for 30% off any regularly priced video game accessory. There's nothing to state that this does not include XBOX One controllers, chargers, etc. To note, this is in-store only!

What's wrong with uncharted? It is one of the highest rated series of games ever on a playstation system.

Might use those to get me another ps4 controller.

It really is about the games. You should buy the console that has the games which interest you more.

I didn't mean to imply it was a bad game. Nothing is wrong with it. I'm just not into the game mechanics. I didn't like any of the Tomb Raider games either, and most of those were highly rated. Just so you don't think I'm lopsided, I didn't like the Gears of War games either I'm kind of strange like that.

My favorite game from last gen was Lost Odyssey, followed by God of War 3 and resistance 2. If a new Resistance or God of War trilogy comes to PS4, I'd seriously have to consider buying a PS4.

If Lost Odyssey 2 was annouced I'd be ecstatic, but alas it doesn't look like Mistwalker has any desire to do it.
