The Xbox One - Part 9

[Travesty]

When the hell is Project Cars coming out? I wanna play that badly.

 

[Tron Bonne]

March 17th in US and March 20th in Europe according to Wiki.

 

[BizarroAids]

Ford GTs are one of my favorite cars in all of the games. I didn't know Ford made a new one. Can't wait to use it in FM6.

They really need to add the Shelby GT 350R! That thing is sexy!

 

[Benstamania]

Forza 6 is going to look amazing. I'm totally gonna watch someone else play that game.

 

[terry78]

I see what you did there.

I'm sure it will be. They always have a lot of Mustangs in the game.

 

[XtremelyBaneful]

I see what you did there.

what was it

 

[Iceman]

Haha. There's quite a few games I feel are just as good to watch a friend who knows what they are doing play as playing myself.

Yeah uh, that's what it has become for me too.

I need a wheel for all these racers. I cant play Forza or a Project CARS with a damn game pad. Ill prob wait to invest in a bad ass wheel and race seat once the F1 series hits the X1/PS4.

 

[Iceman]

Looking forward to next gen F1. Hope they do it justice.

 

[Joe Von Zombie]

Really enjoying killer instinct

Yea same here. There were plans for them to do one this year, but Codies decided to spend the extra year and beef up the following seasons game. I cant wait. No better racing on the planet than whats found in Formula One. Both virtual and non.

[Iceman]

Had to really. Good.

xbone also won december 2014.

It's probably not that many 1st couple of weeks of Jan. Microsoft should give them the difference in digital codes or something.

yeah you're right probably not a ton of people bought it. Know 1 guy who did though.

anyways, sony needs to follow suit or they're gonna lose the U.S dominance

 

[X Knight]

if they're gonna do another sale so soon, might as well just cut it permanently.

the lower price obviously worked to finally boost X1 sales past the PS4 for the last 2 months.

so perhaps that $350 price is the sweet spot.

Unless said person purchased the console from MS, MS shouldnt give them anything. Why should they? Its been less than 2 weeks. Most US retailers will do a price adjustment or accept returns (with most being at least 30 days). A person should go to the place they bought the system, not MS for compensation

y'know........if by mid year, and certainly by end of this year, if the X1 keeps up the pace of adding new features and tweaks with their monthly updates, and the PS4 STILL hasn't added something simple and basic like using personal images for the background or video file playback, my reaction to Sony will be........

can the xbone do those things? from what I remember the biggest difference in new features is the fact that the xbone recognizes external hard drives, and that's a pretty good feature.

yes. the X1 can play music, video, and picture files. It also supports DLNA I believe. As well as audio CDs.

you can also set your own image as the background, and I heard in the Feb update they will give you more options to tweak that such as allowing you to adjust the transparency of the background image.

meanwhile.......over at the PS4..........we can play music files and choose from a few premade themes to use as our background......yay......

when it comes to features, especially media features, there's no question the X1 has the advantage over the PS4. even using IE to browse the net was like night and day compared to browsing on the PS4.

HOWEVER, the PS4 still has one major advantage over the X1 - faster disc install times. and for me, that's more important than the above media features.

 

[Benstamania]

The X1 has eclipsed the PS4 when it comes to that stuff. I honestly don't think ANY of that is on Sony's "to do" list. It feels to me that they've gotten a bit cocky and until MS continues to beat them they'll just sit on their haunches.
