Can't wait for the VGAs! Friday? Saturday is it? What has been confirmed for Xbox One? Quantum Break, Titanfall? Anything else? What can I expect from this show, I've never watched one of these things.


Saturday at 6 PM eastern. Quantum Break and Titanfall are the only things confirmed by Microsoft so far, but they've hinted at more stuff. Sony and Nintendo are apparently going to have stuff to show there as well. As for multiplatform games, we know that we're getting a trailer for Tom Clancy's The Division which will showcase what the new next-gen engine that is powering it can do, and a Fallout 4 reveal seems likely given the recent hints and the fact that Bethesda announced Skyrim at the 2010 VGA's. There are also going to be new trailers for South Park: The Stick of Truth, Broken Age, Dying Light, and The Witcher 3.  As for what to expect, they usually give out one or two awards at a time, then show a new game trailer, and the cycle repeats, there is usually a live concert tossed into the mix as well.

That's a good write up. OAN does anyone know how to set my phones smartglass to the One? It still asks to connect to my 360. Help


It's a whole new app for the Xbox One. Search for it on the App market.

some of the stuff on the feedback site is so obvious, not sure how the xbox team couldn't think about that by themselves. stuff like "xbox, screenshot" as voice command if they already have video recording... they just have to look in forums and on steam to see that many people love to take screenshots in their games.

Some of it is obvious. They probably have thought of some of them and are working on them as we speak. It's still launch period, ya know?!?

I'm calling it now. Big argument will take place today on VGC. Gran Turismo 6 appears as if it can't outscore an unfinished Forza 5.

My bet is a couple of threads will be made about this and people will bicker about their plastic boxes and throw in some uneducated opinions because they haven't played both and then nothing will be solved.

On the bright side I'm enjoying Forza 5 and I hope whoever gets GT6 enjoys it :)

I went on kinextsupport on xbox.com but none of the troubleshouting got it fixed for me... I requested an express exchange.... I'll let you know how it goes :((

I know and I would still expect to have the obvious stuff at release and not months later. Because otherwise I have the feeling as it wasn't that obvious for the team working on it.  It's not as if some of the stuff wasn't possible to realize at release, they simply didn't think about that early enough.

You're probably right about that Jay. I personally find the reviews that GT6 is getting pretty funny. All of those Sony fanboys came into Forza 5 videos for months claiming that Forza 5 would be inferior to GT6 and in particular said that it's microtransactions were horrible, and then GT6 gets lower reviews and it's microtransactions are as bad as Forza's or worse (the most expensive car in GT6 costs almost $200 in real world money).

I haven't played either Forza 5 or GT6, so I can't judge them, but I have played previous games in both series and I much prefer Forza, so I plan to get Forza 5 when I finally get my Xbox One and I hope to enjoy it, and like you, I hope that anyone who gets Forza 5 or GT6 enjoys their purchase.


Exactly, they seem to think that more cars = better game lol but it's quality over quantity.  Have you seen this gameplay? http://www.ign.com/videos/2013/12/06/gran-turismo-6-video-review

Yeah, that's pretty bad. Is it just me or did Forza 4 have better graphics? Based on that review, it sounds like the only things that Polyphony did right was putting in a ton of tracks and adding dynamic weather and night driving. The AI sounds inferior to Forza 5's drivatars, the car list, while bigger, is padded with lots of reused models from older GT games, there's poor audio design, and some of the game types look dull as crap (moon buggy, seriously?).


Yeah, looks mediocre.
