Okay, nothing an update can fix.

JoGam3848d ago (Edited 3848d ago )

They gotta fix the problem first. Then update with the fix.

@Lalanana my fanboy friend, I hope so.

Lalanana3848d ago

lol those rumors are getting out of hand. November 22 cannot come soon enough..

P0werVR3848d ago

What is an update for?! And what problem are you on about???

thorstein3848d ago (Edited 3848d ago )

I said this a bit back. XOne: delay if you have to. PS3 came out a year AFTER X360. There is no reason to launch this console if it isn't ready.

vigilante_man3848d ago

I hope they fix it soon - for all great XB1 gamers sakes. No one deserves this.

Guess rushing things will create problems on both sides. Great gaming awaits us all next gen once all these problems are ironed out.

Oh Snap!

but seriously MS can patch this in hopefully shortly after the X1's initial launch.

If the third point about the ES RAM is to be believed will developers hold back PS4 versions with features and other stuff because of this? Honest question because you know what Microsoft's policies are like...something along the lines of "If you make a better version for another system you can't publish your game on our console"

I mean in a way after what has happened over the recent months developers especialy higher up ones like Rockstar, Valve, Irrational, Rocksteady, Konami for example have the upper hand. I mean for example why would Microsoft refuse to have something like Read Dead 3, the next Bioshock or even Half Life 3 on their consoles. If MS starts to bow down to those developers then it could set off a chain reaction for even smaller devs to do it aswell.

mkis0073848d ago

I agree. Bet you anything all these ps4 and xbox1 rumors will turn put to be no worse than ps3 and 360 launch problems minus red ring and hardware failures in general. I dont believe a single hardware failure rumor this gen. It would ruin said company this time no matter whp it happened to. Overall I think we are just so dwprived of real hard factual info so close to launch thar we all have to jump on each other. Its a really hot day and there is no water.

I said the same thing

D@mn this got approved fast...lol

majiebeast3848d ago (Edited 3848d ago )

Doesnt anyone find it strange there has been no live demo of the Xbone UI only that fake representation video.

Penello's reason why there has been no live demo also puts up a red flag.

https://twitter.com/albertp...

You cant do a live demo because of ads.. yeah right who do you think you are with this.

All is not well in Redmond is my bet so much secrecy and sidestepping questions.

AngelicIceDiamond3848d ago

Don't worry MS will be fine at the end of the day.

Soldierone3848d ago

Maybe Google can show them how to feed fake placeholder ads in the OS so they can avoid that issue.... lol

TechMech23848d ago

It's strange the lack of any concrete gameplay or user interface from Xbox one from any sort of retail hardware, and makes you wonder whether Microsoft wasn't ready for the eighth gen, and simply surprised by playstation 4's power

IcicleTrepan3848d ago

yeah the SUVs driving around letting people play them or the units set up in major malls in the USA and Canada must be tricking people into thinking they're playing them.

Use your frickin brain.

TechMech23848d ago

@IcicleTrepan
After the red rings of death incident, I don't trust Microsoft in the slightest when it comes to new hardware.

mhunterjr3848d ago (Edited 3848d ago )

They have done various live UI Demo's for the press and a various trade shows... im not sure why people keep claiming its under wraps. http://www.wired.com/gadget... ,
http://m.youtube.com/watch?...

And as you can see, they had to either blur the tv content or used licensed footage, so yeah licensing is obviously a real issue.

Sounds like some people don't want the Xbox One to sell

JoGam3848d ago

Agreed. I'm not getting a Xbox One but damn I don't hate it. This ish is out of control.

PS4OUR3848d ago (Edited 3848d ago )

Out of control??

I guess you were not around for the launch of the PS3 then?
Because the same shit happened back then, only it was Sony in the firing line.

So don't for a moment think Sony fans are being asses because the same can be labelled for Xbox fans back when Sony was chucked on the grill.

It goes both ways buddy

-Foxtrot3848d ago (Edited 3848d ago )

@PS4OUR

Even then with all the hate the PS3 got it's not as bad as whats happening with MS now.

The main problem and I said main problem with the PS4 was the price, that was the "HOLY S***" moment but now looking back with the blu ray player where players back then were like double the price of the PS3 and the fact it's memory has allowed great stuff to happen on the PS3.....it's not as bad

With the PS3 you were paying more, for more

However with the Xbox One it seems your paying more for less

I don't hate the Xbox One games or Microsoft exclusives in general....I just hate Microsoft at the minute

Deadpoolio3848d ago

It's no worse than the delusional nitwits who can't admit that it's not going to sell as well as Microsoft is hoping, and that there are issues that might point towards them rushing it to the market yet again. As bad as their 55% failure rate for 4 years with the 360 hopefully not or probably not for the people who actually want to purchase it...... So it works both ways with the overly hateful and the Microjizz gargling delusional

christocolus3847d ago (Edited 3847d ago )

@lifesagame

and thats the irony cos the console is going to be very successful...i and everyone on my friends list is getting the console at launch and so with millions of others..fanboys only constitute a tiny tiny fraction of gamers world wide...in the end their opinions are like a drop of water in the ocean..those who want the xbx one have already pre ordered or are saving up as we speak for launch day or post launch....

Kayant3848d ago (Edited 3848d ago )

And it begins again.... Thanks console launch for the entertainment so far.

Also I love this guys passion... He is really trying to help MS here. The best way to debunk all this is show a real life UI OS tour same to Sony as well we are missing that from both I know Sony did so it at GC but launch is so close full tour is needed for both.

PS4OUR3848d ago (Edited 3848d ago )

Some French website was messing around on the PS4 UI for a whole 30 minutes. Yoshida jumped on stage with a PS4 and did a quick demo of multitasking on the PS4 then joined an online Killzone ShadowFall match, LIVE.

I can't say the same for the Xbox One.

Something is amiss here. It doesn't take a genius to figure things out. They (MS) are having problems. Whether it gets remedied before launch is anyone's guess.

Microsoft Opening Xbox Mobile Game Store in July

The Xbox brand is expanding, as an Xbox mobile game store is opening this coming July where Microsoft will brings its "first-party portfolio."

Jin_Sakai1d 9h ago (Edited 1d 9h ago )

“Bond adds that they will start on the web”

This will go nowhere.

Nice knowing you Xbox. This is what happens when the house never gets cleaned.

MrDead1d 9h ago

The only this MS is expanding is the amount of feculence it sprays on everyone who just want to enjoy gaming and make games.

The best thing MS can do for the gaming industry is leave and never return.

Good luck with this even it might not succeed.

Microsoft once tried to nab LittleBigPlanet from Sony after a few drinks

It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.

Microsoft had a good idea but fumbled it again.

Cacabunga20h ago(Edited 20h ago)

Project Spark idea was decent but they quickly gave up ..
LBP was wonderful

ApocalypseShadow1d 15h ago

Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.
https://www.playstationlife...

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.

They're scum.

Zachmo18219h ago

Microsoft didn't force MLB on Xbox. MLB gave Sony 2 options either go multiplat or risk losing the license.

Rynxie10h ago

And why do you think MLB said that? I believe Ms approached MLB.

ApocalypseShadow9h ago(Edited 9h ago)

Totally ridiculous comment.

The only exclusivity Sony had was to their own creation of The Show. Microsoft could have paid the MLB for the license just like Sony did and made their own baseball game.

Microsoft instead, groomed MLB for years in trying to poach Sony's game and bring it to Xbox. They're worth 3 TRILLION dollars. You think that's not enough money to make their own baseball game? Don't be delusional.

Microsoft spun it like they always do and told the media that they had to trust Sony with their hardware. After they put Sony in that position of not having a choice. Either go multiplatform or stop making one of their successful games. That's a no win scenario.

And what did Microsoft do? They didn't try to sell the game to the Xbox community. They put it on game pass to hurt Sony. Pushing the idea of why buy games that are $70 when you can play them in their cheap service for $10. It was a dirty tactic.

You fell for the Kool aid drink Microsoft served you instead of spitting it out. Hope it tasted good because you were fooled by Phil and the gang.

Xbox executive Sara Bond has told Axios that Microsoft spent a number of years trying to get MLB The Show onto Xbox consoles. And when it finally succeeded in breaking off PlayStation’s long-held exclusivity, the company had to “trust” Sony with pre-release Xbox Series X/S consoles.

Bond revealed that MLB The Show “always came up” in conversations between Microsoft and the Major League Baseball organization. “We always said, ‘We love this game. It would be a huge opportunity to bring it to Xbox.'” she recalled. However, when Microsoft’s efforts materialized, it put the company in an awkward situation where it had to send in pre-release consoles to a rival company.

They were too cheap/inept/lazy to develop their own mlb game, so they port begged for years and bribed the mlb to make the show multiplatform. Like i said many times, xbox brought nothing to the table their 24 years, ZERO.

"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."

Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.

RNTody22h ago(Edited 22h ago)

Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.

But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?

Inverno21h ago

Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.

Inverno19h ago

They shut down the servers, that's millions of user created levels gone. That and dead are pretty much the same, it's also been years since 3 and they cancelled HUB soooo.

fsfsxii6h ago

They shutdown the servers because no one was playing, no one in the community cared about the user created levels so why keep them up? Wtf you guys would never succeed in running a business.

Inverno4h ago

Yea dood no one was playing so they shut off the servers. Cause people with enough common sense can't just Google why they were actually shut of, right?
