If I bought the Kit play and charge, does the xbox one pad act like a ds3/4 ? I don't have to change the battery every once in a while ? It's a true battery ?


As Ryuu said you get a rechargable batter pack with it.  Just plug it into your xbox.  I actualyl have my wired at all times since the cable is pretty long

Ugh... Halo, but not Sunset Overdrive :(
At least it's an Xbox game though!

Why not halo. There's a lot of confusion out there about what's in it, what's remastered and what's remade. Most people don't know the differance between the 2. Most people don't know the legendary ranking system. And a lot of halo fans that started with reach or 4 don't know what makes it different from the other ranking systems out there. And no offense to sunset because it looks fun but it's probably going to be a mid 70 meta game.



Halo MCC will sell 5+ million copies(including digital)

halo 5 will sell 10 million copies(including digital)

x1 will pass ps4 in USA, and UK.

Wow, finally saw a Forza Horizon 2 ad just now on Youtube. First one I've seen, took long enough considering the game released several days ago. I'm really missing Microsoft's crazy advertising from last year, most websites had Xbox One flash ads on them and just about every other video I watched had an ad for either Xbox One itself, Forza 5, Ryse, or Dead Rising 3. I really hope Microsoft steps up their marketing soon.

Was watching Syfy channel on tuesday, saw like 3 Forza Horizon 2 ads in like 1 hour (very short ones). xD I have adblock so idk how well they're doing online.

Also I know it's just amazon and all but Horizon 2 already almost falling below 50 on the hourly charts is pretty bad. (currently at #47)

The 360 version isn't even in the top 100 hourly...

Glad to hear that they're doing better on TV than they are on the internet. I really hope they have the same kind of huge marketing campaigns planned for Sunset, CoD: AW, and Halo that they had for Forza 5, Ryse, and Dead Rising 3 last year.

Yeah, it seems like Forza Horizon 2 kind of bombed here in the US, at least based on Amazon's and Gamestop's charts, it fell out of the top 20 on both charts way faster than I was expecting. Hopefully alot of people preordered the digital version since it was one of the first few Xbox One games available for pre-download, and since it had such a large install size. At least it's doing better in Europe it seems, based on the various European Amazon charts. I really wish MS had a bigger marketing campaing for it here in the US though, as of now it seems like it's not going to do as well as Forza 5, which I find kind of sad since FH2 is better than Forza 5 imo.

Yeah I'm more of an arcade racer fan so I was hoping it would do better than Forza 5, unfortunately I don't think that's possible now. Whenever I get an Xbox One I'll be picking it up for sure. I think the Holiday/Halo boost will help Horizon 2, I wanted it to hit 1 million retail this year but it looks like it's going to take longer. Also I was thinking if Rare ever made that Kart racer we'd have all the major racing categories covered.

Forza Motorsport - Sim | Forza Horizon - Arcade | Rare racer - Kart

heh

I think it might still hit 1 million retail this year since it seems to be doing better in Europe. We'll have to wait and see. 

And yeah, Rare working on a Kart Racer sounds great to me. But I hope they wouldn't just do Banjo like they originally planned, I'd love to see characters from all of Microsoft's owned IP's, much like Sonic & Sega Racing. Imagine how great it'd be to drive around as characters from Halo, Gears, Banjo, Conker, Fable, etc, all in one game? Just think about Master Chief in a Warthog cart, 'nuff said, lol. 


I would be happy with 1m retail this year, wonder what MS expects it to sell?

And didn't they have other characters in the leak? I think I saw Sabrewulf and a battletoad dude which is cool. Hold up let me find it...

This looks pretty cool :P Like you said just add more MS IPs, I always love the amount of fan service in games like this. Master Chief would get more people interested for sure. I'm surprised Nintendo still doesn't allow non-Mario characters to star in mario kart, like there's so much potential xD
