XBOX GAMING THREAD | PHIL TRUE 4K

No Mistwalker JRPG; it better be fake!

 

[blakep267]

A similar E3 prediction list popped up on the PS4 thread. @Jetpacunlimited came in and shredded it, saying it was fake, and that there was also a X1 list that was fake floating around.

Is that one, or is this legit?

theres bound to be stuff on each list that are real and bound to be fake stuff. Like we can pretty much say that a halo game is coming this year, most likely 2 anniversary and most likely horizon 2 will also be coming. Stuff like perfect dark being an uncharted like game probably is a reach. But other things lile Ryse 2 have been talked about by developers but not actually confirmed. SO its an easy thing to put in a rumor list

Rumor FINALLY


We can report that multiple sources within Microsoft have been briefed on plans to make a long-awaited change to the Xbox Live Gold paywall for streaming media services.

According to our sources, Xbox 360 and Xbox One users will soon no longer need a paid subscription to Xbox Live Gold to access Netflix, Hulu, and other streaming media apps

it's important to note nothing is official, and Microsoft may change its mind before the company's June 9 keynote.

 

[nelson999]

But who the hell has an XBOX ONE and doesn't have gold? 

 

[djyoung08]

More features coming to non gold members?

 

[grimeyy]

Xbox One party system is trash man

 

[blastercombo]

Xbox One party system is non existent man

Fixed.

 

[Bad Religion]

But who the hell has an XBOX ONE and doesn't have gold? 

Yea sure, people that bought it for gaming.

But look at the PS3/4. I have more than a couple friends who bought a PS3 just because they could get NHL Gamecenter and Netflix, while being able to play games occasionally. They went with PS3 because there was no charge required to access it.

Gaming is a cool option to them, but not something they really care about or they want it for the kids and to watch movies.

Xbox touting their all in one living room media center and having this behind a pay wall was a mistake I think. I am glad to see (well potentially anyway) they are doing away with this.

Slowly but surely Microsoft is shedding away the major flaws.

Let's just focus on that price now....

At work now. I'm down any time rest of the week.

Today, we’re excited to share more ways your feedback is impacting the products we build.

First, beginning on June 9th, in all markets where Xbox One is sold, we will offer Xbox One starting at $399*. This is a new console option that does not include Kinect. For $399, our new Xbox One offering will continue to deliver access to the best blockbuster games like “Titanfall,” “Call of Duty: Ghosts,” “Forza Motorsport 5,” “Dead Rising 3,” and the upcoming “Watch Dogs,” “Destiny” and "Sunset Overdrive." You will also be able to access popular entertainment apps, such as Twitch, YouTube, and Netflix, as well as watch live TV and use OneGuide. Finally, you will continue to be able to use many of the unique features of Xbox One including the ability to get game invites while you watch TV, switch between games and entertainment apps, enjoy Twitch broadcasts, and upload your favorite gaming moments.

Next, we’re bringing more value to Xbox Live Gold members and offering all Xbox 360 and Xbox One owners access to entertainment apps whether or not you have an Xbox Live Gold membership. In early June, here is what you can expect from the new generation of Xbox Live:

Free games with Games with Gold**. Since Games with Gold launched on Xbox 360 a year ago, over 12 million people have enjoyed great free games, resulting in nearly 200 million hours of free fun playing Games with Gold titles. We’ve been learning from your feedback and have focused on making improvements each month to the selection of titles. To celebrate the one-year anniversary of Games with Gold for Xbox 360 and as a thank you for helping shape this program, members will receive an additional free Xbox 360 game in June. The Games with Gold titles for Xbox 360 in June are “Dark Souls,” “Charlie Murder” and a bonus game of “Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition.” We’re pleased to bring Games with Gold to Xbox Live Gold members on Xbox One in June. Members will have subscription-based access to free games ranging from top hits to breaking indie stars. The program will launch on Xbox One with “Max: The Curse of Brotherhood” and “Halo: Spartan Assault.” A single Gold membership will get you access to the free games for both Xbox One and Xbox 360.
Exclusive Discounts. Deals with Gold will also launch for Xbox One in June, delivering discounts for great games each month, with significant savings for Xbox Live Gold members. The first titles offered in June will include “Forza Motorsport 5,” “Ryse: Son of Rome,” and a few other surprises. In the coming months, we will offer significant savings of up to 50 – 75 percent off certain titles. This program will continue to be available for Xbox Live Gold members on Xbox 360. And new on Xbox One, we will launch a virtual VIP room exclusive to Xbox Live Gold members where we will feature free games, monthly deals, and other great benefits.

Popular entertainment apps will be available for all Xbox 360 and Xbox One owners. Xbox 360 has been a leader in delivering entertainment experiences for years, with over 170 global entertainment apps and experiences available today. We’re constantly adding new partners and experiences to the growing catalog on Xbox One. Coming in June, anyone with an Xbox will be able to access popular entertainment experiences – whether or not you have an Xbox Live Gold membership. This includes great gaming apps like Machinima, Twitch and Upload, popular video services like Netflix, Univision Deportes, GoPro, Red Bull TV and HBO GO, sports experiences like the NFL app for Xbox One, MLB.TV, NBA Game Time, NHL Game Center and more.*** Microsoft experiences including Internet Explorer, Skype, OneDrive and OneGuide will also be available to all Xbox customers.**** You can find a full list of apps and features that will be available below.

We’ve heard that you want more choices from Xbox One. You want a wide variety of options in your games and entertainment experiences and you also want options in your hardware selection.

To be clear, as we introduce this new Xbox One console option, Kinect remains an important part of our vision. Many of you are using Kinect for Xbox One every day. In fact, more than 80 percent of you are actively using Kinect, with an average of 120 voice commands per month on each console. Some of the most popular voice commands include “Xbox On,” “Xbox Broadcast” and “Xbox Record That.” We will continue to offer a premium Xbox One with Kinect bundle to deliver voice and gesture controls, biometric sign-in, instant personalization, instant scanning of QR codes, and enhanced features only available with Kinect in games such as “Kinect Sports Rivals,” “Just Dance 2014,” “Project Spark” and more.

If you buy Xbox One for $399 and later decide you want to have all the experiences Kinect enables, we will also offer a standalone sensor for Xbox One later this fall. We’ll share more details about the standalone Kinect for Xbox One in the coming months.

Interesting...

I'll still probably pick up the Kinect bundle since it's only $50 more in a lot of places. Glad to hear about the apps though...

Wow thought I'd never see the day they drop a kinectless version of it.. wish that was at launch 

 

[bamez]

But i thought Kinect was the future?  Another 180 for xbone.

Not gonna lie though, i'm impressed with some homes on HGTV that take advantage of 360's kinect for voice operating around the house.  

 

[carver]

If they gave me this option at launch I would have went with the kinectless version personally.. others probably like it, I mean I like some of it like watch TV or Broadcast, making it all really simple but most of the time I don't really use it. But that's just me.

 

[quanb24]

They should've did this Kinectless option from jump street smh

 

[blakep267]

ehh, I dont regret buying the kinect xbox one. Like Im so ingrained in talking to it now it feels weird going into another room and I can't go to netflix or hulu without finding the remote( which is always missing).

And I guess now Im going to have to plug my 360 back in
