Definitely gonna be a day one buy for me. Wouldn’t be surprised if it ends up getting some game of the year awards as long as the gameplay is solid. The maps and the jet set radio with weapons type gameplay look really fun to mess around in.
Microsoft will release Xbone without Kinect starting in June. Will cost 399 USD
On the Xbox dashboard it says that apps like Netflix will no longer be behind the Xbox Live Gold paywall. It also said Games with Gold is coming to Xbox One. It also mentioned the $399 version.
The Xbox One Games with Gold will function like PlayStation Plus, you need to have an active membership to play the free games. In June, Xbox 360 Games with Gold comes with an 3rd free game because it’s the 1 year anniversary of the program. The 3 free games will be Dark Souls, Super Street Fighter 4 AE, and Charlie Murder.
Damn, Sunset Overdrive just pulled me in.
My XBOne has been sitting quietly since I haven’t had much time to get good in KI. I’ve gotten some other games like 2K14, Lego Marvel, DR3 & PvZ:MW - but short of DR3 (haven’t opened yet as I havne’t finished the second one yet), none of them have held my attention for super long so I’m hungry for some games.
Good to hear about the paywall though - I haven’t had XBL since December (bought a house then, low priority since I don’t really play online anyways) and I’ve been using my Roku & PS3 for streaming services despite prefering the XBOne.

@Unreallystic What’s your GT?
I probably wouldn’t have bought a X1 Kinect bundle if I had the choice back in December, but then I wouldn’t have realized what I missed out on considering how much I enjoy it.
But in the end, this was the right choice for Microsoft. Things like Skype and Twitch will push sales of standalone Kinect. They need to focus on the media and voice benefits of it and not the gaming possibilities. That’s almost a dead end now.
So Insomniac signed exclusivity to MS because they’d be allowed to own the Sunset Overdrive IP, not because of hats made of money. Perfectly reasonable.
Insomniac was always my favorite of the Sony 1st/2nd party studios. Wish them all the best. Too bad they couldn’t have owned the Resistance IP; Sony ain’t doing jack with that franchise.
Geo for real posted 5 times in a row to keep this thread alive
He’s not trying to keep this thread alive. The price cut has totally changed public perspective on the Xbox One and now it’s going to sell 1 million units a month is North America alone. Sony is done for.
Unreallystic
kept it simple. But I don’t have Live right now. dunno when I’ll turn it on. I was going to for titanfall, but no one in the titanfall was playing it on the One…all PC, so I just skipped it all together.

Lol, I think it’s funny Dark Souls is being offered on Games w/ Gold.
Your average low common denominator gamer (scrub) on the 360 would download it, then delete it after 10 minutes of playtime.
It will read vhs tapes though.
soooooooo the 360 version looks better than the xbone’s?
Draw distance is way better on X1. Otherwise they’re exactly the same.
Wow I can’t believe a game with 3D graphics from 1995 has a better draw distance on Xbox One VS the 360. Absolutely fucking nuts. Crazy you have to compare the Xbox One to a last-gen game console for it to come out on top.
Despite being comprised of polygons that are literally blocks + simplistic low res textures, it sure runs like shit on a lot of computers.
Halo 5: Guardians Announced
Lemme Translate that, “Halo 5: Part 1 Announced”
Spotted on Reddit: external drive support coming “soon”

We don’t have it in the May preview builds. So it’s either coming by the time the Final build drops, or it’s coming in June. Most likely the latter.
Im waiting for that rumored UI change, that’s supposed to be coming. Since Kinect is now(soon) optional.
Without the Kinect, I still don’t think the console is cheap enough. And I am a “Day One” adopter.
$359 or $369 would have been more “shots fired” worthy. It’ll come soon enough, I think. $400 IMHO, isn’t cheap enough to push units.
Looking forward to KI Season 2, and maybe another Rareware franchise back from the grave… best-case scenario: M-rated Battletoads reboot by Platinum Games. I would cum to death.
