Well I bit the bullet an ordered an XBO from Amazon. Should be here in a couple days. I wasn't planning on buying one until they dropped the kinect, but 450 with a free game seemed like a good deal. I'm excited to try out Titanfall and I can't wait for Sunset Overdrive, I'm a huge Insomniac fan.

My GT is Foxhound214 if anyone wants to add me.


Congrats on your purchase :)

Kinect is actually really cool.  Surprised me that is for sure.  I wont say that it is the best option for games, but controlling the xbox from an entertainment hub is really cool.

And yeah Im interested in Sunset Overdrive since its Insomniac.  Just waiting to see more on it atm

Thanks. I bought Kinect for 360 and never got much use out of it. I'll see if Kinect 2.0 changes my mind. 



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

My 2 cents in the xbox1 evolution... First they will polish the bugs and add functionality (had,resolution,bt,etc) make sure everything is stable and polished in the current UI state
then they'll change the rules... Xbl paywall, what is on the list from JL, bring back family plan game sharing etc maybe behind a platinum sub...
then overhaul the UI in a major update in 2015 bringing more depth to it with Kinect smartglass, KSR avatar, more app integration... Etc

so I don't expect anything major right away just some major polish on the existing UI and much needed additional functionality... But then it's all out on improvement and some major updates like the 360 but with shorter turnover...

Xbox One Performance Will Double with DX12

 

 

 

Brad Wardell is the CEO of Stardock, a software development and computer games company. In a recent post on neowin, Brad explained how DirectX12 would benefit the PC and Xbox One. It was his statements about the Xbox One however that drew the most attention.  In this commentary, we’ll examine his statements and also compare what others in the industry have said about DX12.

"The results are spectacular. Not just in theory but in practice (full disclosure: I am involved with the Star Swarm demo which makes use of this kind of technology.) While each generation of video card struggles to gain substantial performance over the previous generation, here, the same hardware will suddenly see a doubling of performance."

XBox One is the biggest beneficiary; it effectively gives every Xbox One owner a new GPU that is twice as fast as the old one.

His going to get some hate for saying that xD

Im sure he will but he isnt the first one to say similar things as this.  Im sure the console wars will get heated with this but on the opposite side of things it is good news.  PC gamers and Xbox gamers will both benifit from DX12 and im sure that will make a lot of people happy.
