I hope Sunset Overdrive has a comprehensive marketing campaign and not just a few adverts ect. Want them to go all out. Special editions and white console will go some way to differentiating it and giving it even more of that spotlight. Especially if it launches in September vs Destiny. If they are launching in September, I hope it's at least 2 weeks either side .....

Didn't they say the Titanfall one wasn't done because it cost too much? considering a Titanfall bundle would probably sell more than a Sunset one also....Idk if they will release

Sunset + Sunset controller + White Xbox with kinect

Tbh I would want the White controller with the white Xbox since everybody with one even MS people have said it's higher quality than the normal controllers .... meaning we have shitty ones and they have nice ones =P

Sunset controller wouldn't match the white Xbox either xD I think they will release the controller seperate or just in a bundle with the normal black Xbox

i think it had more to do with the stock that was already out there



haha this game is going to have so many gifs

PORTS FROM WINDOWS 8 TO XBOX ONE TAKE “1 DAY OR 2″

We have mentioned Boyd Multerer already a little more than three months ago. Xbox’s Director of Development, who is basically considered the creator of Xbox One, confessed to be very proud of the hardware architecture.

 

Today, Total Xbox published an interesting three pages long interview with him. Multerer had the opportunity to speak on a number of different topics; an impressive detail is that games written for Windows 8 using DirectX can be ported over to Xbox One in just a day or two.

 

The basic box is definitely easier to develop for, and that goes a long way. We spent a lot of time making sure that if you know how to write a game in DirectX in Windows, you already know how to write a game in Xbox One, and the games that are being written for Windows 8 that are using DX are porting really quickly to Xbox One. Like often in a day, maybe two. Yes, you have to tweak for the specific performance characteristics of this box but you basically already know how to do it, if you’ve developed for Windows. It’s more complicated than that, but yeah.

 

That is most certainly going to be helpful for the platform, although right now not many games have been specifically written for Windows 8 yet. Multerer also said that he thinks indie developers will find Xbox One a fantastic platform – even though many have been saying quite the opposite.

 

I think that the Indies are going to find the Xbox One to be a fantastic platform. I ran XNA, and I care tremendously about the indies and as we were designing the Xbox One, one of my goals was to bake in support for independent developers really deeply into the operating system.

 

Did you upgrade to Windows 8 yet, or are you fine with Windows 7? Tell us in the comments.

My evening - Bingo cards and Eurovision.



 

If Microsoft would pay 100 indie developers around 300k per game for 100 games, they could get a lot of games exclusive or at least timed exclusive and it would be still "only" 30m of which they would get some back through the money they get from the sales.

Microsoft should have done that lol.
