PieFacE Posted September 23, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted September 23, 2013 (edited) For anyone who has a home theater.... the Kinect IR Blaster sounds quite good! Kinect IR blaster:The Kinect does neat things for living room connectivity. It acts as a IR blaster on steroids, sending out so many IR beams that it completely fills a room. These beams bounce off walls and other surfaces, reflecting back at any exposed device in the room. This means that your electronics on shelves, even behind glass, will be able to be controlled by the Xbox One. Microsoft has set up control schemes that work like Logitech's Harmony system. Your television, receiver, set top box, and other devices will work from your voice commands. We saw a television's volume change from voice commands in a demonstration. I currently use a Harmony remote at home so this will come as a welcome addition providing it works correctly.

piav_k4 Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 After deciding which console, the next question is when to buy? Any body have any idea when the price will come down? I doubt it will be until well into 2014, start of 2nd quarter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 It depends on the market I guess. A lot of people seem to think that there will be an Xbone bundle without Kinect in the new year that will be cheaper. Beyond that it might be a year or more.

P3te Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Any body have any idea when the price will come down? Typically, unless a launch has been disastrous, around 18 months post launch A lot of people seem to think that there will be an Xbone bundle without Kinect in the new year that will be cheaper That'll only happen if there's definitive statistics showing that most players who have an Xbox One don't have their Kinect connected Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted October 17, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted October 17, 2013 This is pretty sweet. It's a great idea really. I wouldn't use it but I do like the look of Snapshot. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mc_vUf1C8b8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 That's actually a really good idea. I'm sure it will be everywhere because people have been using YouTube for tutorials for years now, integrating them directly into the game is something well worth doing.

PieFacE Posted October 17, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted October 17, 2013 It would be very clever if it the app could somehow know exactly where you are in the game and what bit you're stuck on, and then automatically find the right tutorial for you. It may even work like that? Not sure yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted October 18, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted October 18, 2013 (edited) I was thinking last night about what to do with the HDMI-In port on the back of the Xbone. Then it hit me! Need one of these plugged into it. Running this with Raspbmc and Kinect could be interesting. Specially if the Kinect 2.0 is as good as they say it is. It would be the ultimate media center and would remove any need for a HTPC. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9RDqv7vqJIo Do we know if it's possible to create custom voice commands on the Xbone?

It may even work like that? Not sure yet. Problem is, who would they link you to? Most of those videos are monetized, specially the bigger ones. Why would one get picked over the other? Would be favoritism for a very strange reason, which would cause some upsets I would imagine. And how would it know, it would have to go from the title of the video Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just under a month to go now, looking forward to it! Edited October 23, 2013 by samjp26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And how would it know, it would have to go from the title of the video Well I'm unaware of how games work beneath the surface, but I assume they have "checkpoints" or "chapters" throughout them all. So if you're stuck on Checkpoint/Chapter 10 of Dead Rising for example, when you bring up the list of the videos, it lists all the tutorials for Chapter 10.... if that makes sense? And like you said, it would have to go from the title so the uploader would have to title his video "Dead Rising Chapter 10".

vandaq Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Yeah that could work, but it would have to be something like a hotkey for that where you got up a screen where it showed several videos on that. Actually a really good idea in fact, but as I said, the problem would be that who would be on top again? The one with most views probably, so that would just get even more. Might seem like a non issue for the consumer but those who put these out have ads on them to generate money for the videos they create. As long as it doesn`t link you directly to one video, one could argue it being fair even if it really wasn`t. With that said, the idea itself is actually smart and could be very convenient. It also would help people finish games, which many people don`t do. I think this is something playstation is trying to do with their share function, that they create their own space. Not sure how long you can capture and all that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villarule123 Posted October 23, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted October 23, 2013 Supposedly the XBOne will only be having 720p games from launch, most notably COD Ghosts but it will be 1080p on PS4. Doesn't mean much to me as I'm not too fussed on graphics and certainly not COD but if this is a running pattern then it could be an early advantage to Sony. Only rumours though at the moment.

vandaq Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 No, that cannot be. It`s running on idtech 3, I bet several grad students would have been able to port that with 1080p on xbox. For other titles? Who knows but that is a false rumor, cannot be. Makes no sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted October 23, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted October 23, 2013 Forza is 1080p Ryse is 900p But it's looking like everything else is 720P. Like VRule123 this doesn't really matter to me. I'm sure in the future everything will be 1080p. Launch titles are never a reflection of what a console can do, quite the opposite. But that's better news for Sony than it is M$ imo.

Kwan Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 I've heard COD looks horrendous on both. Doesn't look next gen at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
