[shingi_70]

Microsoft just released a 12 minute walkthrough of the OS features. A bit bummed its not a real nerdy look into it, or even shows the xbox store but than the Wii U pre launch overview was pretty simple.

what type of world is is when Nintendo can get youtube at launch but not Microsoft or Sony.

[azeke]

Just watched that video.

Pretty impressive. As software engineer myself, i really appreciate clean UI and that kind of stuff.

Youtube is too busy ruining their service on PC and all other existing devices.

[shingi_70]

Someone got an Xbox On early update and all and here's some shots of what the store looks like.








I hope we see the PS4 UI more next monday.

[shingi_70]

Dude who got the one early posted more stuff befre being console banned. Stupid on MS's part as the guy said he would reccomend the system despite all the bad news and it was really good.

My favorite part is this.



Such a good idea to show top games and people playing them.

[Ceric]

Yeah that UI demonstration got to second guess my choice.

[shingi_70]

The One has greatly improved in my mind, but PS4 still has the most support and is $100 cheape. I am alittle concerned that sony hasn't showed off any UI or won't have the suspend/resume feature at launch.


The guy said after about 25 minutes of downloading Ghosts he could play while the rest downloaded.

Pretty ridiculous of Microsoft to ban people (especially their fucking console) who got it early. Here's a better idea - turn off Xbox Live for XBox One (for non-dev kit systems) until the launch date. ****, Infinity Ward rewarded people who got Modern Warfare 2 early.

You do realize that's whats happening right, The guy can still get on live on his 360 and the console still works offline.  All consoles that aren't on the Dev Kit or Beta white list can't connect and Major Nelson already  said they'll all be back online on luanch day and invited the main leaker to the Xbone launch event.

[magicpixie]

Yeah, I'm not too broken up about how this shook down.

Lol, I don't know which is more disturbing, how small the EA games are compared to 2k, or how big 2k14 is compared to the EA games.  My first thought is that the games should at least be in the same ballpark considering their scope, but who knows.  Most people haven't been all that impressed with what EA have shown so far, so maybe this explains the reaction.

[shingi_70]

Well Madden has a small sixe because at the end of the day its a 7th gen game. 2k14 is pretty damn big but I know its supposed to be better looking and have some next gen exclusive modes.


Live is a whole different beast as its the only one of the the sports games that will be  next gen only. I'm guessing EA took the lazy road and made the game as barebones as possible.

Are they even trying to break the whole

Reputation they've built for themselves

[magicpixie]

I still can't stand the fact that MS is hiding so many apps behind the Live paywall.  I hope everybody that ends up with both consoles and uses these apps uses them on PS4 so that Sony don't get any bright ideas to lock the same services behind PS+.

And I'm still weary of NBA Live, just because of its shady history.  EA obviously has a reputation for junk these days, so that's definitely a title I think a lot of people will stay away from.

[Shaymin]

People should get PS+ for the games. The option of dealing with idiots online is an unpleasant side effect.

[BranDonk Kong]

Never saw that Microsoft would reverse the bans after launch...still, they should have had that in place from the get-go. And really, they should probably give stuff away to the people that got their consoles early, after all, they've apparently been giving away free games and XBox One consoles to random Xbox Live long-time users.

[Kytim89]

Does anyone think that Microsoft might ever come out with their own version of the Vita TV? Something that streams Xbox 360 games via the cloud and has Kinect support? It could be called "Xbox TV".

They wouldn't call it Xbox TV. The Xbone already IS Xbox TV. It's all the thing seems to do, and it's all its supporters seems to want to talk about outside Call of Mechwarrior.

[shingi_70]

The Xbox One seems to have fixed the UI problems with the 360.





You have your main screen.
-In the middle your most recent app.
-To the left you have your profile and friends list.
-to the right and down one you get your games library
-On the bottom are your four recent apps and next to it is the disc insert
-You also have three panels for recommendations.


That's pretty desgin and my only change would be to put the disc and collection tiles above the snap tile.





One bumper/swipe to the left brings up the pin aera where you can pin up to 20 apps/games that you enjoy.





One bumper/swipe to the right puts you at the store no longer being a ton of tabs.

[BranDonk Kong]

Yeah, it still looks pretty terrible to me. XMB isn't perfect, but it's the most cleanly organized console UI there is. Windows Media Center almost had everything nailed down.

[Spak-Spang]

Actually I like it.  It makes sense.  The question will be how functional is it with a controller.

I was playing on the PS3 again.  And I realized why I hate the user interface.  I can never understand how to get back to the menu.

The menu system is somewhat functional, if not ugly, but then I press the main menu button and I can never figure out which buttons do what.  I end up pressing each button and never get anywhere.

This layout looks quite nice, and if the layout of buttons to menus and selecting, deselecting things in the menu work...then it will be fantastic.

[tendoboy1984]

Being a huge fan of the Windows Phone, I'm liking the design of the Xbox One's interface. The PS4's interface? Not so much.

Xbox One is getting Games for Gold next year.

[shingi_70]

Think about going back on team xbox, (Yes I know i'm a god damn undescive mess). I


I was only going for the PS4 becuase everyone else was, but I feel the Xbox has a better launch line up and software that appals to me. I don't care anout the lack of alot of indie stufff on the onset since I will have a Wii U and a PC as well.


Skydrive will be on the Xbox One at launch and will work as a photos/video player depending on if you use the service. (I do but mostly for documents with photos here and there.)








Looking at the second image i'm wondering how excatly the new guide will work.

[magicpixie]

Think about going back on team xbox, (Yes I know i'm a god damn undescive mess).

Why be team anything?  Just pick what you like, you don't have to justify your choices to anybody else.  I was super tempted to try and pick up a PS4 yesterday, and when Best Buy sent me an email saying they were selling them again, I ALMOST took the bait.  In the end, I remembered that there aren't any games that I'm willing to shell out $500 for right now, and the same can be said for the XB1.  Barring any unforeseen circumstances(layoffs, reinstating DRM policies, out of wedlock children...), I'll probably end up with both consoles again at some point.  I'll probably switch my lead platform to PC for multiplats, unless horrible ports become a thing again. 

Review embargoes are lifted gradually next week, not all at once.  I kind of like that strategy from the perspective of MS keeping their fans in suspense, and keeping their launch in the news to some degree.  The fan in me hates the strategy, and only sees conspiracies.  I think Ryse's embargo is up on launch day...  Very interesting, indeed.  Kind of wish some reviews would "leak", like IGN's Mario 3D World review.
