Re: The Xbox One Thread

I played Titanfall at the Eurogamer Expo in September. It was awesome, despite the "low" number of players.

6 human players per team, each with their own Titan. The Titans can be human piloted or can be left to AI control (they can follow you, or guard a location, etc.)

Plus there are 12 AI characters per team.

Anyone want Call of Duty: Ghosts for just over 30 quid?

Call of Duty: Ghosts Xbox 360 and Xbox One Digital Combo - £30.63 at Amazon UK

Digital combo for both platforms, no disc (so no resale). You need to redeem the code via a 360 (or via Xbox.com) first. Once that has been done, it shows up as free in the Xbox One Store.

Yup, same here :)

The only reason I'd buy Ghosts would be to give the SP a go, as I have no interest in the MP... but SP only isn't, to me, worth paying £30, even though it's a lot cheaper than the official price.

A good deal for anyone who wants to play the MP, though.

Alas, it seems to me that it sucks for other reasons :(

I had been avoiding using the Xbox One for Blu-rays anyway, due to the lack of Dolby Digital.

But tonight my wife wanted to use it to watch one of her BDs (Dreamgirls :( ) because she's fed up with the PS3's noise.

There's a particular musical number with a long circular tracking shot. Perfect for noticing judder. And it *really* juddered...It was awful, extremely noticeable.

I was worried it might be my nice new TV, so as a test I took the disc out and stuck it in the PS3 instead and skipped to the same scene... Perfect. No judder, just a nice smooth circular tracking shot.

Both consoles have 24Hz enabled, and both had the same settings on the TV (with LG's various DNR and other processing disabled). The PS3 handled 24Hz as it should, whereas the Xbox One was terrible.

Re: The Xbox One Thread

The new BF4 patch has left my game useless, as most of the sound is now missing on multiplayer, ie explosions, gunshots, running, talking, the only sound i hear is the background music if i crank the volume right up, even loading the game or restarting the console doesn't fix it!. The sound was fine for the first 3 seconds after the update then zilch!

Anyone else getting this issue?

---------- Post added at 16:55 ---------- Previous post was at 16:11 ----------

I am making some progress, if i go into a game of TDM via the server browser most of the sound is missing, although when i tried this on a Conquest map it all worked.

If i go in through the Quick Match option all the sound always works!

The TV remote command for on is the same as off.

The Xbox One thinks it's turning your TV on, but because it is already on it turns it off. MS probably don't consider it an issue, as they want you to do *everything* via the X1 and so assume the TV will never be on without the X1 also being on.

There is a setting to disable the TV control, so that "Xbox On" only turns on the X1.

cimt	01-02-2014 18:14

Re: The Xbox One Thread

I haven't had that issue even though it will turn my TV on when it's off... It sounds like it may not of detected your TV properly or it wasn't calibrated properly.

Tezcatlipoca

01-02-2014 19:32

Re: The Xbox One Thread

I doubt it's to do with calibration.

The remote code for on is the same as for off. That's why TV remotes, Sky remotes, etc. only have one single power button - the code is the same for both functions, and the remote itself never knows if the device is already on or off, it just sends the same code.

Just like a remote, the X1 does not know if the TV is already on or off and simply send the same power code. If the TV is on, it turns off. If the TV is off, it turns on.

Well, you'd think that logically party chat would be enabled by default when you join or start a party, given that the whole point of a party is to use party chat.

Of course, MS didn't see it that way when it created the current incarnation of party chat on the X1, and for some bizarre reason decided to make it so you had to turn party chat on every time...

cimt	04-02-2014 02:36

Re: The Xbox One Thread

Try quitting your game and then turn party chat on. I've had issues like that before. Not having it turned on by default is a very idiotic decision. One of many that MS has made...

Not fixed for everyone though :(

I still get awful judder, especially if the disc has been paused / forwarded / rewinded / skipped... It loses it...

Xbox Support says to turn 24Hz off as a workaround... which of course causes judder itself due to the 1080p24 content then being output at 60Hz instead of 24Hz.

Re: The Xbox One Thread

Just out of interest, I have been having issues with my one over the past 2 weeks.

The most annoying issue is that I have the sound going via hdmi to my onkyo amp. If I leave the xbox in the menu for 5 mins or so, the screen goes dim. When I go to resume using the xbox, the sound effects are gone and its all cracking noises and even in menu music in games is just crazy noises.

When I restart the xbox, its fine. It just annoying having to reset it 4 times a night now lol.

Any else had anything similar?

If next week's doesn't, hopefully the March update will. It's aimed at fixing the various Live issues such as parties.

I have messaged them as they are at work, but we have been using skype on our phones for the short term.

Re: The Xbox One Thread

Have you tried quitting any games running in the background before joining a party? It's stupid but it did used to be an issue.

Re: The Xbox One Thread

No Xbox update today, it has been put back a few days but is expected this week still.

Also....

A developer has said that Microsoft's new SDK is much faster than it currently is and should be able to deliver 1080P games like the PS4 currently does.

Quote:

They (Microsoft) are releasing a new SDK that’s much faster and we will be comfortably running at 1080p on Xbox One. We were worried six months ago and we are not anymore, it’s got better and they are quite comparable machines.

It maybe only 1 developer saying this but i hope he is correct!

Re: The Xbox One Thread

More details on the March update:

http://news.xbox.com/2014/02/xbox-on...iplayer-update

Quote:

- Get to your friends list faster. The friends list will be front and center on the homepage of the Friends app. Click the Social tile on Home, or say “Xbox, go to Friends” to see who’s online and what they’re up to. From there you can quickly send messages and get into a party.

- Party chat will be turned on by default. When you party up, chat audio will be turned on by default.

- Chat with friends playing different games. Party chat will be separated from people playing your game, so you can chat with your friends who are online or you can chat with everyone playing the game.

- We’re adding an “Invite friends to game” option to your multiplayer titles moving forward. Similar to Xbox 360 titles, this will appear inside a games’ menu and offer a simple and quicker way to set up your multiplayer battles. Selecting “Invite friends” will let you invite friends to your game and party.

- We’re adding “Recent Players.” This is a simple list that shows you Xbox Live members you’ve recently played with, making it easier to stay in touch with people, or add new friends after your multiplayer battles.

(plus "many more great features")

All good, although Eurogamer has a point regarding the March update and the delayed February update...

All welcome additions, but all features already present on Xbox 360.

Included in the package is a detachable Stereo Headset Adapter that puts all of the audio controls right at your fingertips. You can balance the game and chat audio levels, control the master volume, and mute the microphone.

The Xbox One Stereo Headset does not use separate batteries and is passively powered through the Wireless Controller. Additionally, headset is compatible with mobile devices, tablets and PC/Mac.

The Xbox One Stereo Headset will cost $79.99 (MSRP).

For Xbox fans that already have a favorite set of stereo gaming headphones, we’re happy to reveal that the Stereo Headset Adapter will also ship separately. Plug your compatible headset into the Xbox One Stereo Headset Adapter to chat with your fellow players, and enjoy the convenient volume controls right on the adapter. For more details on the Xbox One Stereo Headset Adapter, please visit xbox.com/xboxone/compatibleheadsets.

The Xbox One Stereo Headset Adapter will cost $24.99 (MSRP.)

Both will be available in Xbox One markets worldwide in early March.

I’ve seen a lot of questions about what will / won’t work. Here is an easy way to think about it:

Legacy gaming headsets get game audio from the back of the console from the S/PDIF port. Get chat audio by connecting the 2.5mm chat cable to the adapter,
New Xbox One headsets – get chat and stereo directly from the adapter. No need to connect anything to the console.
Any 3.5mm stereo headset (that uses the CTIA plug standard) can get stereo game audio by plugging into the adapter.

Lack of Dolby still sucks for those with surround sound headsets (or AV receivers!), but this adapter at least means you can use your Turtle Beach or Sharkoon headset for chat as well as game audio.

What I find the most interesting is that the adapter doesn't just enable you to use 3rd party headsets for chat, it *also* enables you to use 3rd party headsets for game audio via the controller (like the PS4's DS4). I like the idea of being able to plug any pair of headphones into the controller to get game audio.

Re: The Xbox One Thread

I've moved the most recent Titanfall posts to their own thread in the main gaming forum, as we're getting closer now (plus have the beta this weekend), so it's worth it having its own thread (plus of course it's also on 360 & Windows).

OK peed now.

My X1 has reset the NATS to Restricted

---------- Post added at 22:44 ---------- Previous post was at 22:31 ----------

Might have to set up port forwarding on my router to resolve this in the morning.

Re: The Xbox One Thread

You could just give your X1 a fixed IP address of say 192.168.0.100 and then put that address in the DMZ of the Superhub, reboot and your done.

I found port forwarding a bit flaky but in most cases a reboot of the router then xbox normally sort it all out.

Apologies if I'm suggesting you should suck eggs :)

I never noticed a problem with the controller but if it helps me shoot better in BF4 then it is all good! :)

Always had my 360 in a dmz , can't personally see a problem with it but would welcome someone to say if they think there is risk involved as I'm not 100% sure.

Hold down the power button on the console for several seconds then replace the button then it will do a hard reboot, you wont lose anything but it will take 30 odd seconds to start up again.

Tried to give the X1 a static IP but it failed, I set the IP within the range I have restricted, set the Subnet & Gateway but it don't want to know.

Hi Hom3r, I dont own an X1 so cant comment on why the static IP wont work, when you say it failed what exactly do you mean, on the 360 you just go into the IP address setting's (via network settings) and instead of using automatic, select the manual option and type in the IP address you want to use, and your done.
