Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

You said FPS but listed two that are predominantly Third person.

With that in mind and correct me if you strictly want FPS.

The Division - Third person over the shoulder. Online MMO shooter, well made - Ubisoft

Rainbow Six: Siege - FPS - Counter terrorism 5v5 enter and clear destructive environment kinda game.

Listed Battlefield? Premium should be cheaper now to give you the entire seasons DLC.

That's about all I can think of that are a bit oldish but still have a player base. FPS genre isnt that great these days. Plenty of great non shooters though floating around. Some very cheap but only via steam.

Elite is great on PC I bet its just as good on Xbox. Well worth it once you figure it out.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Sorry yeah, I meant third person (a bit too early in the morning for me...)but I do like FPS - cheers for that :tu:

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I like The Division.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Anyone played Doom for the xBox? Seen it for £30 and been tempted to purchase it. But I'm scared it won't be anything like I remember the one I played for hours and hours on Windows 95 and 98.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Apparently existing XB1/kinect users can get a kinect adapter for the XB1S from Microsoft for free

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

RE: DOOM - Played on steam so acquired for much cheaper and thus the review reflects the price I paid. Couldn't tell you if its worth £30 but I really enjoyed the single player. Multiplayer is awful, you could love it or absolutely hate it like myself.

In my opinion and again you could enjoy the MP but are you willing to fork out for a potential Single player game?

Gems of the last year for me via PC but also available on Xbox.

Fallout 4, could be cheap now, worth a play through and undoubtedly going to be expanded with DLC.

The Division. Decent MMO 3rd person with a level system and an iffy DPS system that you can get used to but I'd have preferred a different system.

Rainbow Six: Siege - A very fun 5vs5 multiplayer attack and defend FPS with realistic bullet damage and promoting teamwork. Being a lone wolf will chew you up and spit you out.

GTA: Online - old but consistently updated with free DLC using the micro transaction funding DLC route. News that Liberty City remade will soon be appearing as the second online map. Unsure whether the player will need to travel between the map via airports or whether you'll get the same map in one instance.

Elite: Dangerous - Massively reccomended, Great to play and learn. Space Sim, trading, mining, combat. Looks daunting but very fun.

Upcoming:

Ghost Recon: Wildlands - Looks awesome, keep an aye out.

Battlefield 1 - a very different WWI FPS.

No mans sky - Similar to Elite.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Updating stuff as they've come.

Windows 10 and Xbox One are likely to go X-platform with the exclusives soon enough. Forza Horizon 3, Forza 6, Halo wars 2 and so on. Even Gears 4 surprisingly.

Microsoft have introduced a policy of buy it once and play it anywhere*

* So long as the device is supported. Prime example. Buy it on Xbox One. Use the same email address as your Xbox live account on the Windows 10 store via PC and you'll also have it purchased and ready for download there too. It makes sense to offer this. Remember being narked at Buying Modern Warfare 3 for both Steam and Xbox.

Lastly. Red dead redemption will be made available for backwards comparability. Such a truly epic game and another factor that may see me away to pick up a device merely to play old and new exclusives such as this or UFC 2.
Assuming online servers still work during backwards compatibility, transferring online saves would be a hit too, Rockstar have a cloud system to make it easier and they should to be fair as the game has typically shot through the roof.

Play anywhere - Sept 13th
RDR - July 8th

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Tried playing RDR, but couldn't seem to join a game with a friend.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I've just installed Betrayal on Battlefield but where is it? I've opened Hardline and the Episodes from my previous campaign are there but I can't find it anywhere.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

5 Battlefield 4 map packs are currently FREE for the next 7 days.

Battlefield 4 Dragon’s Teeth

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

They are online maps.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I don't follow developer websites, forums etc so if a campaign patch or update is available for a game how will I get it? Does it automatically update and install as soon as I connect to the internet?

Also how would I be notified? I play things like GTA V, Assassin's Creed Unity and Syndicate etc but campaign only, not online. Would I still be notified of updates?

Cheers

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Auto updates upon game launch if you're signed into Xbox Live.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

If your Xbox One console is always connected to the internet and is set to 'instant on' in the 'Power & Startup' settings then any game or console updates are downloaded and installed automatically even when the console appears to be off.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

So i have sold my Xbox One, my problem is now that console is stuck in the 'insider preview' and the new owner is stuck with the beta software! i need access to the console to come out of the preview which i don't have, so hoping the Xbox Forums can sort it out for me but i won't hold my breath!

So if any of you guys sell a console make sure you come out of the preview first!

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

How much does it sell for? I have very little time to play it nowadays (although could change soon, see moans thread) so am thinking about selling it.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I sold it to some one in work for £140, this was the original with Kinect an extra controller, play and charge kit and remote control.

I had it priced up at CEX at £147 maybe a month ago, they pay more than Game.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Thanks Snoopz, will look into that. I don't have Kinect however would be selling mine with 2 games so could probably ask for a little more. All depends on what happens with my work situation honestly.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Poxy Tom Clancys Ghost Recon Wildlands

I need sleep, 12 hours sleep in 48 hours

Play 4 player co-op is excellent

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Pfft, you pansy. I had a total of 5 hours sleep from last Sunday to Friday afternoon. So yeah, I can beat that for working whilst being a zombie. Luckily, I don't drive so wasn't endangering anyone.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Has anyone else here got issues trying to get into their xbox one's?

I noe can't even get into it to try and log in.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I tried logging into Xbox Live from a PC and it took a few attempts and very slow, maybe there is an issue.

---------- Post added at 19:19 ---------- Previous post was at 19:18 ----------

Yes it looks like there is an issue according to their support page.

https://support.xbox.com/en-GB/xbox-...us?xr=shellnav

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Apparently theres a major outage.

---------- Post added at 20:43 ---------- Previous post was at 19:25 ----------

My xbox one only gets to the logo screen with the 3 flashing dots then screen goes black.

I even turned off my router and nothing.

If my xbox doesn't turn on I'll be very Peed off

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Error 8027025A occurs when you try to sign in or start an Xbox One app


You see the following error code when you try to sign in or start an Xbox One app:

8027025A

This may mean one of the following:

• There's a temporary problem with the Xbox Live service.
• The application did not load in the time expected.
• There's a sign-in issue with your profile.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Can anyone here possible help?

I have tried rebooting the X1 with and without both a network & kinect, without luck



I've had the follow error codes 0X8027025A & 0x80070005


I have even tried trying to boot using the BIND and Eject to get into the safe mode without luck


I can login to my xbox 360 without issue.


Is there still a issue with XBL in my area CM201QD


or is their a specific X1 issue, which requires my X1 to be repaired or replaced


Lastly should I buy a new X1 would any games (& saves) that I current have on a Ext HDD would this work on the new console?

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Don't rush out and buy a new one, i would make another account and try and sign in with that (just to test it), if you can get in then you know it isn't the Xbox hardware but to be honest if the Xbox boots and looks fine it is probably still a live issue, if you can't then then contact support from a PC on the xbox live account and see what they have to say.

I googled your errors,

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I cannot get into the X1 to login with a new one.

I can login in on my PC, Xbox 360 & Smartglass for both 360 & one

Its only the one that has issues.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Xbox online support i would go with first, let us know what they say, it would be a shame if you need to buy a new 1 or send it off to get fixed.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Xbox support have said option that require you being in the system to goto a specific screen.

But I have said that I cannot get into the console whatsoever

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

They didn't help much did they, have you posted on the Forum to get help that way?

Please don't buy another until you know if it requires a repair though.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Yeah I've posted on the MS forum

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

A waiting game then, or you can request a repair from your account online, try not to get frustrated.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Have you managed to resolve your problem?

If not do you plan to send the Xbox for repair or buy a new one?

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Spoke to MS without much luck, it didn't help it was a poor line, quite (overseas I guess).

So I'll take it to my sisters and try via her IP.

then buy the 1 S, hopefully without games as the only bundles I see I have the games, or don't want the game.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I would have used the online chat to talk to them, less hassle and may make a difference.

It is a shame you have to buy the S seeing the Scorpio is coming out this year.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I got the GoW 1TB bundle with 4 games. £250

Plus TC GR Wildlands & a 2nd controller

£312 total

RRP for the lot £537 so a saving of £236

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

What will you do with your old Xbox and why didn't you send it in for repair?

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Repair would have taken too long and it's 3/4 years old.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Maybe still get it repaired then sell it, i got rid of mine with Kinect for £140.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

You said you had tried BIND & EJECT. However did you have the flash drive inserted to reimage the XBox? I did this some time ago with mine after it refused to boot up and it did the trick. There are 2 image files, OSU2 and OSU1. OSU2 is ~1.9GB and is to be tried first, OSU1 is ~ 3GB and is the last resort to try. If neither of these 2 images work, not sure where you would go from there.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

The file for the flash downloaded but had a corrupt file, I tried several times on different kit.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Microsofts Project Scorpio officially named Xbox One X and available worldwide November 7th 2017 priced at $499.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Priced at £449 in the UK. The world's most powerful console.

The specs are pretty mind blowing for a console too. True 4k gaming at 60fps

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Pre orders are now open for the Xbox One X Project Scorpio Edition. MS have made it clear that this version will sell in very limited quantities, so if you want it get it ordered ASAP.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Now sold out from the links above although still available from MS and Argos.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Bloody hell. Says it's unavailable. Did I miss the preorder?

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Would any ordinary 1TB hard drive do to use as storage on the xBox One?

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Depends what you mean by ordinary, it will be an external HDD preferably USB 3.0 compatible.

When i had an Xbox One i used a WD 2TB Black My Passport Ultra which was about the size of a pack of cards.

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I pre ordered the Scorpio edition when it first came up. Roll on November 7th :D

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

For those that have pre ordered the Xbox One X and the Scorpio Edition, has yours shipped yet? :)

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Nope not yet ordered from amazon

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

I'm the same. Mines been preparing for dispatch for the last few hours :)

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Gonna be a purchase in a few weeks for a handful of select titles. I was absolutely wrong when I suggested all Xbox exclusive on PC would be great :rolleyes:

They're absolutely horrible, it's clear those porting them have absolutely no idea what they're doing. I'm not risking paying more premium prices to be stuck with utter crap. So upon purchase I should have the games that are unplayable in my windows account available to play on the Xbox. Forza Horizon 3, Forza 7, Gears of War etc. Another reason for purchase is once again down to EA not making games available for a DRM platform they created in Origin. You know a storefront to house their games but actually only hold half of them because... well no valid reason.

Fight night and UFC are only available on consoles.

I had the original Xbox One but couldn't find much use for it early on, now I reckon I'd like to get back into Console FPS for a bit and as above, play the EA console titles and my Win10 library.

Heard the kinect is dead in the water though?

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Yes M$ are no longer manufacturing the Kinect sensors. Although they will still support existing units. Kind of makes sense really I don't know of that many games that supported it

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

How are you guys liking the X?

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Love it. Just need to know what’s best to do with my old Xbox One in regards to selling it

Re: The Xbox One Thread
 

Can anyone recommend a decent headset for the One S as mines died.

The left thumbstick on my Scorpio controller sticks. Has anyone done a DIY repair and how easy was it? The videos I've seen on YouTube make it look simple enough

Thanks :)
