Watch Dogs apparently dropping sometime between April and June.
I’ve had a theory that the delay was a direct result of what Microsoft has been doing to optimize the Xbox One and they wanted to capitalize to improve that version of the game (rumors were floating that it was 720p). That’s the only way that a 5-7 month delay would make sense.
Floodgates for X1 indie games are about to open.

Next month is going to be big. The first Indie games, Titanfall, Minecraft, and another system update.
two indie games ain’t floodgates. That’s getting the ball rolling.
It’s three games (check the Reddit link). They’re only the first announced games, there will be more in March and beyond. Microsoft/Phil Spencer was talking about this happening for weeks.
Also: Major Nelson confirms on Reddit that Xbox One will get screenshot feature in the future. No ETA on when it will come.
Entitled gamers spazzing on Twitter,
TF beta Trailer. Registration link in the description. Beta starts 2/14, chosen participants will be notified by 2/17.
I registered for both platforms. If they provide codes for access (and in the off-chance I get accepted) on X1 I’ll probably offer mine here.
At Respawn’s request, MS working on software patch to adjust precision of controller analog sticks
Also working with Respawn to update the software upscaler (doesn’t indicate if it’s just for an individual game or for the console itself).
If it’s not something inherent to the Crytek engine, they should use the upscaler implemented in Ryse. Too much crushed blacks in the default upscaler.
Maximillion is streaming the Titanfall Beta.
X1 fanboys on Reddit tried to fight me when I said the upscaler was awful and needed to be tweaked. Look how much better Killer Instinct looked after the patch killed the upscaler’s unnecessary effects.
It’s nice that they’re finally looking into it.
Are people receiving beta codes now?
Xbone might be poop, but its controller is great.
the 360 controller is a piece with poor design and poor build quality. using the Bone controller on it would vastly improve my experience with the console.still don’t think the Xbone controller could top the DS4 though.
if you spin it right, you can take it as confirmation of a kinectless xbox one sku coming soon. lower prices!
I haven’t been following Titanfall all that much. Is the game completely multiplayer only or is there a single player campaign?
There is no single player campaign in Titanfall - strictly multiplayer, limited to teams of 6 vs 6 (with AI, which appears to be missing the “Intelligence” part, and basically be dumb cannon fodder at this time…)
I thought you were the controller. They’re not practicing what they’re preaching.
Speaking of which… X1 for $475 via coupon:

Who knew MS would give folks a discount just for subscribing to promotional text messages.
TV show based on Nas coming to Xbox.
People don’t talk much about Xbox Entertainment and the original TV programming coming down the line.
This is the fourth show that I’ve seen confirmed.
Anyone get their code yet and have an extra?
