I just wanted to know what makes an arena based fps different from cod and battlefield I read many articles about arena based fps and they say its quake or unreal tournament does halo qualifies as a arena based fps.


Jumping is more common and reticule is on your screen at all times.

lmao at Hot Buttered popcorn xD




       

After knowing what a arena based fps is, I believe halo is arena based leaving halo reach and 4 i hope 343 brings back old and classic halo
BTW where us toastboy not seeing his threads or posts I like the way he boasts Xbox over every other console



@ryu

lol yeah like a teacher cooking meth to save his family is regular everyday thing in the first place???? :))))
to me that seems intriguing enough or at least more than most shows outside of sci-fi/fantasy ones :))) or you must have an interesting life maybe :)

and to be fair it's really about that for the 10 first episodes... After than elements collide and the shit expand in several dimensions without reviling too much... I'd say it's weeds californication and Dexter than got in a gangbang with scarface and had a weird baby :)... Californication and Dexter not so much for the plot similarities but for the pace, the structure, and the character depth and wtf moments... And they didn't stretch it out too long like Dexter...

Rumor that the 10% Reserved GPU will be turned into 2%

"Currently 10% of the Xbox One GPU is reserved for OS functions and Kinect and it looks like that will be reduced to 2% soon, giving developers more power"

I'm not too sure on these things but wouldn't that make Kinect less responsive and worse?.


I really doubt it, if you think about it the current OS inside the X1 would be the original E3 designed operating system then a load of bits and pieces tacked onto it to allow it to run offline/drm free and Kinect free. The way they probably added those extra bits and pieces onto the OS coming up to launch would have added a lot of bloat which would be eating resources. Now that the launch is over they can start to work on a full overhaul of the OS from the ground up and streamline all the features which should be there into a neat little package and properly removing the original E3 OS pieces and their patches to negate them in one go.

8% more gpu tho, when talking about a gpu the power of the X1's already that is another 50-100 zombies on screen in DR3 heh, will be amazing if it's true.

Oh I see, Thanks for clearing that up Lol Good then, Kinect is pretty good right now, Since Kinect will get it's own updates also would that decrease the amount of GPU that the Kinect is using??? Will 8% even make a difference also? Lol Hope they focus allot on the updates for XB1, I think they have a team for each section, So one team for Friend features, One for Kinect, One for Os etc. so updates should come out much faster which will be awesome

Oh my post is 100% on guess work! I've no inside info about the actual workings of upcoming patch data! It just seems like this would be the most obvious way they would have built the OS to get it ready for launch.

Regarding what % kinect uses itself I guess there would be the possibility of a game launching for the X1 which fully disabled Kinect just to push it to the limit but you aren't going to be seeing anything with that kinda requirements until the system has been out for maybe 7-8 years, kinda the way the 360 is still able to run things like CoD:Ghosts on its 512mb of ram when the pc version has min requirements of 6gb. I actually kinda hope they wouldn't ever go for disabling the kinect tho since it would be giving in a small bit to the pissing contest that is resolution wars and from most feedback on people who have X1's there is no effect on gameplay based on the fact that someone with a different console somewhere has a lara croft with 10 more hairs on her head lol.

Regarding updates btw for the X1 do you remember what the Xbox360 looked like at launch? the blades UI? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UURZ5IRvJQ4 when you compare that to the windows 8 looking UI the 360 has now it's like the console has had 2 generations worth of life. (3 if you include the first appearence of avatars and the odd box layout UI) Can definately expect to see the X1 evolving over the next few years to keep in line with technology.

Argh >.< Just finished watching season 4 of heroes and now im pissed that it got canceled. Microsoft better be bringing this back with the old cast(not new MSFT). Ends on a huge cliff hangar.   Sylar ftw!

It may not be remembered quite as well as Arrested Development, but it looks like Microsoft is aiming to bring back another big network TV show on a service that's decidedly outside the bounds of traditional TV. According to TV Line, that show isHeroes, which was cancelled by NBC in 2010 after a four-year run, and the video service is MSN (itself part of Microsoft's broader push into original programming for Xbox). While the talks for Heroes are still said to be preliminary, the revived show would apparently focus on new characters and stories, with some of the original cast only making cameos in the new series. Of course, this wouldn't be the first time that Heroes found its way onto an Xbox 360: the show was one of the few series to be released on HD DVD, and briefly found its way into some bundles with Microsoft's HD DVD player add-on for the console.

Omg, I saw this on Ign and laughed allot (Before people get angry, I know that there are allot of nice awesome sony fanboys but theres also allot like this picture shows ;) This is only for them type of fanboys Lol, Tell me if this is bannable though and I will remove it =P

 

Anyway, Is Heroes any good Jay? I heard it got worse and worse every season and Season 4 was poor =/ Apparently it was awesome on Season 1 so if Microsoft gets it then hopefuly they bring it to their Tv Shows just to bulk it up even more

Heros, Quantum Break, Halo Tv Show so far is a awesome list....and then the E.T Catridge excavation tv show that's about digging up millions of copies of E.T game from atari was it? Lol..

Although I don't agree with the game one, They have some pretty cool games 

I dont mind you guys venting but this is against the rules.  I would recommend you editing that message




       

LOL that was funny, but I think that's bannable :(

Hope you don't get banned.

Edit: Jay beat me me by a minute, and agreed what Jay said.

Pretty sure that's considered flaming, but it was pretty funny.
