Not had the thorough hands on time I'd hoped with it so far.
But initial impression are pretty positive. First thoughts are:
Damn that pad is amazing! Having used the ps4 pad for 2 years now I thought it was a very solid pad, better than the dual shock 3 and 360 pad so presumed there wouldn't be much MS could have improved on. But between the two of go with XB1 pad hands down.
OS seems a bit bland, but does the job. I'd say the installation times are my biggest gripe so far. Rare Replay was like 2 hours. Sunset Overdrive was nowhere near as bad, but still a noticibly long time, it does seem you need to plan when you want to play a new game rather than just yank off the shrink wrap and jump in.
Games themselves, Sunset Overdrive is the only native XB1 game I've played so far, but graphically certainly seems on par with the ps4 exclusives to me. I went in expecting a noticeable downgrade visually but it's not there.
Rare Replay, worth the console alone so far. Absolutely loving reliving childhood games and also trying some that passed by previously. Why every Xbox 1 owner doesn't have this game I dont know. |
You have a gaming PC so there's not much reason to do so but, IMO Ryse, Forza, and Tomb Raider have the best graphics on the console. Of course, owning an Xbox One ( maybe my favorite console this gen) and a capable PC is like owning a 3DS and a Vita. The best looking 3DS game isn't going to impress you by comparison.
Anyway, enjoy the console. The more you use it, the more it grows on you. Controller is great, too! Grab a 6ft USB cable just incase the batteries die.
