Forums - Microsoft - Phil Spencer on OS & XBL issue: "We are playing SP & MP nightly. Anyone can post 'stuff' to the web"

It's very difficult to keep track of all these rumours,… but the Live stuff seems to have some credence. .. so does issues with the triple OS stuff. Now would he deny any big rumour on the internet, of course he would, so would Sony.

I have no knowledge but piecing all of this stuff together, I would be careful to just dismiss all these things out of hand as being Sony Fanboys. I would suspect that Sony are probably also having problems with some aspects of their launch there is no doubt.

Ultimately none of this matters if these companies sort out their crap for launch day :) - if they don't - it's time to hide from the internet @_@

Lets help these neogaf users start new rumors guys. I am bad at creating them.



Did you know ps4 only supports a 2.4 wireless signal?

The xbox one supports a wireless adapter capable of 2.4 - 5.0ghz.

The ONLY next gen console to do so.

^Yeah i think i saw that one

I wonder how much they get paid by sony? 

Down playing the xbox one close to launch....a great way to bring gamers to your console.

Great Job Sony! You will not fool me.

You're not being very bright for someone who can't be fooled!

This man works at Microsoft. Did you really expect him to say/confirm something bad about one of their products?

Thats avoiding the topic 101...

Its funny because he talks about SUV's driving around letting people play, but its simple to look at the actaul tweets and see what people are saying to him. if they even hit that guide button while playing one of these demos, they are told the turn is over and they cant play anymore..


was xbox live being messed up also part of the rumor in which case them playing mp debunks half the rumor

These rumors are just stupid.

There are trucks driving around the world that let people play the Xbox One right now and there are VERY few reports of consoles freezing. In fact, there are less reports than I expected for a console + games before launch.

There are also reports saying if you press the "Back to OS button" at these truck events, you are IMMEDIATELY removed from the truck.....
Fact is: None of the OSes of either console are anywhere near finished. Given the complexity of the XBox One's three OSes, I'm more inclined to think Sony is more ready than MS.

....and where are these moronic rumours coming from?

Then you say "fact is"... and quote no facts.

 

 


I smiled twice in this thread. Awesome!

Fact is: My assumption. Gotta love it.

 



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

Not necessarily.  You can play online without the features that are messing up, and the rumor says if you connect it work, but moving around is dicy.  The rumor also talks about snapping from games and between aps.  You can play games without doing this.  All he states is they are playing, he doesnt elaborate on it.  



I am Torgo, I take care of the place while the master is away.

"Hes the clown that makes the dark side fun.. Torgo!"

Ha.. i won my bet, but i wasnt around to gloat because im on a better forum!  See ya guys on Viz

Ummm ok he didn't even address the rumors about the OS.



I have my doubts on the OS being messed up... But then again when was the last update those truck got??? For all we know yeah it's glitchy on it, and yeah they kick you out if you go back to it because they don't want rumor to spread out when it's still a beta version more than a month old running... Pretty sure at launch after the patch things will be smooth... And xbl glitchy... I believe it too... The network is probably not even up and running at this point... Idon't see why MS would run 300k servers with full compatibility deployment when you have less than a thousand people world wide likely to use it right now... I know they can afford it but just in power it would be like letting the lights on in an empty stadium for months...

well anyway I have no worries... No matter what it will be fine at launch it's not like they can fuck that up... And if there are some glitch... They'll be corrected eventually... That rumor is useless any way you look at it, true or not...



So if this one is false than I guess the one about Sony, PSN and DRM problem is false also, good



Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

This rumor is probably bullshit.

That said, i'd be surprised if MS confessed they are having problems that huge.
