Forums - Microsoft - Xbox One is pretty solid

1 thing i afraid of is the supa long install times, heard its like the old ps3

Depends on you internet speed. I download large games in a couple of hours and small games in a relatively short period of time. Microsoft just overhauled the speed of downloads recently as well so it should be faster.

I think i'll buy one because the backwards compatibility list is sexy, very sexy.

If you have a lot of 360 games that are on the X1 BC list then I recommend it. Some of their games got improved with higher and more stable frame rates and load times.



I just miss a 'wish list' on the store.

Not a bad system. Not as good as the 360, to me (overall), but a good console, nonetheless.

Honestly 360 was above average to me. The hardware issues, lack of exclusives and focus on kinect at the end pissed me off. Don Mattrick sucked. Xbox one under phil is a lot better. However, I did like the controller, the UI,XBL and the usual games like gears and Halo.



Good points. XBO is a really good device. The OS is really solid, and just continues to get better with each update, and each new UWA. The Snap feature is my favorite thing the XBO OS does over the PS4.

With the combination of 360 and XBO exclusives, it is becoming a worthwhile device on MS games alone. I have used my room mates from time to time, and am really looking forward to the Scorpio next year.



Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.

I agree. I feel like it is pretty similar to ps4. I don't need Scorpio at all if I am gonna be able to play all the exclusives on my xb1 s. I am playing some BC games as well.



Its far from thé 360 unfortunately, I feel like its thé least necessary console of this génération , especially having à computer.



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

 PS4: 17m   XB1: 10m    WiiU: 10m   Vita: 10m

 

I think all of the current gen devices are solid.

Yep. That's my dilemma.

It feels like the games have "shifted".  The xbox 360 games are on the xb1, and the xb1 games are on the PC.

I have seen several times now people mentioning they are getting an xb1 for the BC.  They make no mention of the actual XB1 games, they just want to play xbox 360 games on it.

I would like to see what happens if they enable 360 BC on the PC.

And people do PC things on a couch now with their cellphones. What is the world coming to? 😐 Seems like the PC is becoming less necessary, especially having a cellphone.

Microsoft kind of shot themselves in the foot. Even if the Scorpio is a much better value than the PS4 Pro, almost every Xbox One exclusive already runs at 60 frames per second, so the performance boost only goes to a resolution that most consumers don't even have. Either way, I agree. The Xbox One is actually a pretty good system. Glad you're enjoying yourself. If you're into Japanese RPGs, the game Lost Odyssey is free on the Xbox One Live service right now. It's not one of the two main games they're advertising for free(those are Sleeping Dogs and Murder Soul Sacrifice) but you can download it for free if you search for it in the store. Man, I love the free games they give us. They're actually high quality triple A's.

There is 60fps. And then there is 60fps.
Digital Foundry has proven time and time again, that even though games might claim to run at 60fps, they don't always achieve it 24/7.

For example... Battlefield 1, one of the biggest releases this year, claims to operate at 60fps on the Xbox One, whilst correct... It does drop down to 30fps in some cases...
The vanilla Playstation 4 isn't immune to it either, but in scenes that are more GPU than CPU intensive the Xbox One does get punished harder.

I agree about the controller. One thing that stood out the most to me was how much the triggers resembled the Dreamcast controller, which was my favourite controller. Plus they REALLY improved on that D-Pad from the 360.

The 360 had a D-Pad? :P

Have to concur.

One thing we can all be thankful of though is that the Xbox One is built like a brick shit house, the hardware is pretty bullet proof... Which is certainly the opposite to the Pre-S console, 360's.

If you shop around you can pick up older 360 titles for a couple of bucks, so if a game that interests you is on the BC, then it's worth it IMHO. And a good excuse to build a large 360 library.

Personally I am still waiting on Original Xbox emulation.

In time, young Padawan. If Microsoft doesn't do it, the PC community most certainly will, Microsoft's approach would require less hardware though. (As it's not pure emulation, there is virtualization and repackaging going on.)
