Surely a lot of good news, but ROTFL @ "no more cheats and jerks" promise. What happened of previous MS' "no more viruses on Windows" ones?


They wont rid all cheaters but improving is a,ways welcome. Plus dealing with cheaters will be a lot easier to deal with than people who create new viruses every day.

Yes, I agree, I wasn't criticizing the good intention, but the usual happy-go-lucky attitude of MS when making some promises that aren't by any means so easy to fulfil. BTW, if the reputation system is based on users' feedback, it could be fooled quite easily if cheaters gang together to give each other good feedback. Anyway, lonely ceaters should be busted by the system quite efficiently.

Microsoft launches Xbox Enforcement United program

August 1, 2013 12:11PM PDT

New player-run program will crowdsource community opinion to determine if certain content violates Xbox Live Code of Conduct.


Lol I was reading this article last night! Was too tired to post then and came here to see if anyone else had already posted the info. 

The program sounds pretty cool and will definitely be something that helps with smart matchmaking. It would be interesting as well if they released stats based on this tool such as what games have the worst/best communities.

PC world had a much more interesting read on the subject as well. http://www.pcworld.com/article/2045779/xbox-team-creates-community-deputies-to-fight-trolls.html

and by interesting I mean kinda funny spin / re-enactment about its usage.

What are the reasons for the ban???? Is gta banned too???


Germany has a strong censorship onto media that depicts high levels of violence. (I think they banned Fallout 3 back in its day). Considering how open-minded is Germany for some things, I found their censorship stupid.



well I get that but why those franchise??? they are in no way more violent than most FPS or TPS where you kill more mindlessly.... I mean in Crackdown you play a cop destroying bad guys and in DR you kill zombies... when you see gears of wars special kills or all the COD and real life military FPS where you pretty much kill other human just of the opposite camp... I find hard to argue a ban on crackdown and DR based on violence only....

Perhaps it was due to the use of drugs or things like that? Anyway, don't try to find logic behind censorship. There ain't.



Damn, im gone for two days and this place is dead -_- lol. Ill try and update it tomorrow. Remember you guys can update too. I will be posting leaderbboards weekly if i can. Also I will try and do a ranking system soon as I work more on it.

No worries, people who already have titles will be keeping them.




       

XBO Nation News Update:

Microsoft Overclocks GPU Enhancing the Graphical Power of Xbox One

There has been a sturdy competition between Xbox One and PlayStation 4, the upcoming gaming gadgets by Microsoft and Sony.  Until now, Sony was leading in terms of the GPU, but now it appears that Microsoft is back in the game with an overclocked GPU that will enhance the graphical power of Xbox One.

Marc Whitten, vice president of Microsoft revealed the details on the famous Nelson podcast, and explained that the company has been working on improving Xbox One every day. He also said that Microsoft will make the changes as per the requirements.

"An example of that is we've tweaked up our clock speed on the GPU from 800MHz to 853MHz," Whitten said.

The American multinational company has also been keeping a track of all the complaints that the fans have been making, one of which was about the GPU speed being lesser than that of PlayStation 4. The step taken by Microsoft to increase the GPU was smart, as lesser GPU could have resulted in a sales disaster later on.

Microsoft's latest update proves the dedication the company has towards its products and customer needs. It has also ensured that it stands at par with Sony's PlayStation.

The specifications of the consoles appear to be very similar with both the devices reportedly using AMD's Jaguar processor, reported Tech Radar.  

While Sony still carries a better internal storage capacity, Xbox One has Microsoft's cloud service, which would decrease the load off the hardware.

Marc Whitten also revealed that Xbox One has now stepped into internal beta and the developers will have direct access to the development kits. He explained that Microsoft's "mono driver" has now been 100 percent optimised for the Xbox One hardware.

"Since E3, we've dropped in what we internally call our mono driver," The Guardian quoted Whitten. "You start with the base DirectX driver, and then you take out all parts that don't look like Xbox One and you add in everything that really optimises that experience. Almost all of our content partners have really picked it up now, and I think it's made a really nice improvement."

While patrons will probably stick to their favourite brands, each console has its own strength and it is hard to say which device will be better with features being added each day.
