Win10 users Xboxone features?

[clok1966]

So any of you who have win10 and a Bone? What are the perks? I see the XBOX logo when I fire it up (win10), but wondering whats it good for, etc..

Worth considering if one was to purchase a new console or just a bunch of marketing talk?

Streaming.

Game streaming, using the xbox app from your PC to interact with Xbox Live friends. They eventually will have apps that work and sync between the two I think.

Party Chat also runs through the Xbox W10 app now as well, though you don't need the console for that.

I haven't used it for much. The streaming works alright, but it adds a noticeable amount of input lag to games. The store would be useful if it actually had xbox one games in it, but instead it just takes you to the mobile games section of the regular windows store. I have no desire to chat with people I'm not actually gaming with, so that's out. Really not that useful when you get down to it.

Not getting input lag here, but in Forza 6 even with very high settings I get a lot of pixelation but in other games like PES 2016 it plays as if I'm playing right from the console itself, no lag nor video quality degrading.

Well, what I was doing was using the Party Chat through the app and talking to a friend while we played Halo: TMCC. It allowed me to use my 360 Turtle Beach headset, rather than having to use the PoS included with the console.

I noticed the input lag in battlefield not so much in Fifa.

Thanks for responses.. I been on the fence this gen and with price drops am getting close. I wont lie I'm still in the Sony camp (game wise) but some the Bone features look interesting, and my recent upgrade to win10 had me wondering. I wont be streaming games and as some have mentioned not much of a talker during games. It may just get to games in the end, Bloodborn and more RPG (JPRPG's) and the fact I never finished all the Drakes, and Last of us still has me with Sony.. Again thanks!
