The Xbox One

[Iceman]

No reason to change the tile layout anyway, even if Windows 10 on the pc is going away from that. Tiles suit mobile and console and are terrible on pcs! Windows 8 with tiles and no start button was the disaster they are trying to recover from.

so can you take screenshots on the X1 now?

if so, how easy is it to do?

do you have to go through many steps/button presses/menus to take a screenshot?

thanks.

 

[Trainwreck2100]

if you have a kinect say xbox take a screenshot. If you don't or your kinect is stupid like mine. You double tap the home button and hit y

 

[X Knight]

^ thanks.

that seems easy enough.

after you take a screenshot, can you transfer the pictures to a USB stick to transfer to your computer?

Anyone used a 2TB drive with their 360 yet? I juse checked and I have 514 DLCs and arcade games, plus the free retail Games with Gold games. It better come out to less than 2TB with room for future free games. Will be awesome having everything in one place with no need to delete ever again.

The system is getting a new controller next month

Is the headphone port already at the base?

 

[Benstamania]

Not the current one, no... this controller is stupid. I'd rather have the dongle that gives me physical buttons that allows me to turn up and down volume between game and chat on the fly.. not something built into the OS or whatever.

Also GWG to be announced today.. I'm hoping for a decent month since E3 is in June..

My guess: Xbox One will get two special games..

1: Tomb Raider GOTY Edition or whatever
Wishful thinking 2nd pick: Diablo 3

 

[Tron Bonne]

I'm looking at my controller now and yeah, you plug the headphones into the bottom. What am I missing

that's for the mic. A 3.5 mm headphone jack is for actual headphones

 

[Benstamania]

Not the stero headphone jack.

 

[Tron Bonne]

Oh, okay. I see now.

 

[X Knight]

so, can you use Kinect voice commands with just a mic/headset?

 

[Benstamania]

Aaa and the Games with Gold are Pool Nation (again.. I swear this is the 2nd or 3rd month for that) and some crap from DoubleFine.

 

[Tron Bonne]

Massive Chalice is the game from Double Fine. It's apparently being lead by the same head who did Iron Brigade, and that game was awesome. I might have to take a look at that, see what it's about.

Would have thought you'd need the Kinect sensor to process the voice commands. The mic is just for talking to other players rather than the system.

ah, ok, thanks.

it seems like voice commands through mic would be something they would add.

perhaps if/when Cortana gets integrated into the X1 OS, then we'll see voice commands through mic.

I heard if you like Fire Emblem or X-Com, you'll like it.

Anyone using an external hard drive for X1 yet? I've just bought a 2TB for 360 and will probably now buy one for X1. Just thinking what I need to last me to the end of the gen, maybe 10TB? t:

That would take out half the reason (and the good half!) for buying a Kinect so I don't think it's likely. Also they'd need to avoid confusion between what you're saying to guys in your party and what you're saying to the system so the system doesn't accidentally take you to a game you're discussing and losing your spot in a multiplayer game of something else for eg. Seems a bit dumb in general when there is a piece of equipment specifically designed to recognise all voice commands (and is very good at it).

.........perhaps...........

speaking of Kinect, are there any current X1 titles that actually make use of Kinect?

Yes. I have a 4TB WD External. It holds some 200 games. I won't need anything bigger. Delete when I'm done if I don't plan on playing it again.. or for a while.

This is what I have installed currently (game wise.. not counting Battlefront since it's not out yet) and I still have over 3TB left.

 

[Tron Bonne]

How's the new DBZ game?

 

[Benstamania]

I like it alot, the RPG elements are pretty neat.
