Re: The Xbox One Thread

Ok so i am now really getting annoyed with Kinect. It is not picking up my commands. I am having to try over 5 times and when does work i just give up. Im unsure if i was use Kinect alot at mo with this in mind.

Re: The Xbox One Thread

The kinect mic is a brilliant workaround for headsets , perfectly clear , no need to shout , if you go on bf4 open the smartglass app for multiplayer , shows full map with live info, shows where spotted enemies are etc.

Re: The Xbox One Thread

Any idea how we register our consoles S/N with xbox.com?

Re: The Xbox One Thread

Voice commands seem to work pretty well here, you need to pause after saying Xbox.

Re: The Xbox One Thread

Congrats everyone who's got it. Enjoy.

IT'S HERE!

Re: The Xbox One Thread

Does anyone else have the issue on Battlefield 4 test range for example, where if you pan left and right the metal towers flicker white? it doesn't look good at all.

Looks like it is a BF4 issue as you can see the thin silver towers flickering in this video, however i don't know which console this is from.

It's a great community, and has been going since the original XBL Beta / Test Drive.

Re: The Xbox One Thread

I have a release date console despite being told the 23rd December. I'm at work but already done updates and whatnot. Confirmed this morning that I'll be receiving Project Cars free on Xbox 1 and PS4. Already got my PC version. My XBL will be changing due to me being permanently banned from EA servers on Xbox.

Also, I've noticed a few weird things with Kinect. One of them is that I just said "Xbox resume" because I had a game paused and it thought I said "Xbox go to".

Re: The Xbox One Thread

My Orb Kinect mount arrived today from Argos.

Unfortunately, it's crap :(

The Kinect does not clip on securely... The clips on the mount don't work, I assume as the Kinect's based dimensions aren't quite what the people at Orb thought they'd be!

The mount itself also seems a bit precarious on top of the TV.

I think I'll stick it at the base of the TV for now instead, until a better TV mount comes along...

Re: The Xbox One Thread

I am disappointed how Battlefield 4 looks, too many jaggies i didn't think i would see anywhere as much as i did on it so it maybe that the PS4 looks far better at 1080p.

I have a nasty feeling that TV programmes maybe affected running through the X1 where it is juddery a bit when panning, the only way for me to test would be to plug the V+ in direct and retest though, so may do this tomorrow, anyone else notice anything different when watching TV?

Re: The Xbox One Thread

I had another issue, i was playing Fifa and without saying a single word it recorded a game clip. It did this twice. Then when i wanted it to record it didnt. Not sure what happened

Where is your connect located? Maybe try calibrating it again.
