famousmortimer: Xbox One OS and Xbox Live issues bouncing about as we approach launch

Yeah, it's tricky. If it is true and they confirm, it gives later rumours more credibility. If it isn't true and they deny, they look untrustworthy. I would hope they would make a statement before launch if the problems aren't resolved though, if they don't do that they are just abusing consumers.

I believe Amirox has the PS4 one.
Yeah, but why wouldn't they have all VOIP through Skype, handled by the OS instead of per game? That's the biggest thing that I don't understand (if this is true).
Edit: Wouldn't they, seriously, I'm just walking into crap today...

Given the asking price especially, I don't think it's right.
We should get Brass Eye on the case

lol Amir0x doing the PS4? We have come full circle now, haven't we!
I don't mind since i am not buying one, just sitting back eating popcorn and watching the show when it launches in other country's and next year here.
Maybe its due to the three tier OS?
To be fair, I haven't got a fucking clue. Having an OS on the disc for each game is literally a level of stupid that only the Wii managed to attain.
I think the only change is the fact that there is now a swap from System OS to Game OS and vice versa for handling party chat. And it only affects a single player, not the whole party. A party with people doing a mix of things like watching Netflix and playing games are not all affected when someone starts playing Halo. That is silly.
Why we should care about corporation ? Why i need to get in shoes of Phil and state some problems ?
When Sony got PSN hack or PS3 launch it noone cared about taking shoes of Kaz at that time. Taking personally what corporation should and should not do and taking side is mental imo.
NeoGAF has its own insider that are almost always right. I don't care what MS execs are trying to say if their message conflicts with our insiders truthfacts.
This thread moves too fast.
I see verendus posted a couple of leaks, and people keep linking the summary on every page.
Please tell me what are we talking about so I can be up to speed
Tell me how you really feel. No really, this reads like a youtube comment.
I'm the last person you'll find doubting anything CBoaT, or Mort type. I'm not disputing what Mort wrote on his blog. I'm not defending MS.
There were a few people complaining about Spencer's non-answer on twitter a few pages back, and I'm wondering how he could have said anything other than what he said.
Sometimes people just dilute information into infantile good vs. evil BS like you just did, and I'm just curious what other people could have done.
The different operating systems (two plus middleware OS) I'd imagine, and also going from a custom OS to what is essentially Windows 8.
That was a PR joke.
Awesome. You put me up to date in no time. Thanks.
Huh

I don't think any company would ever do this.

Understanding things from their perspective helps explain their decisions. Few will be interested in justifying those decisions, but understanding them is just as important as reading 'truthfacts' at the moment.
Please. People have been killing Nintendo for the Wii U's sluggish OS and missing launch features, what makes MS exempt from criticism?
You have not seen this one...an amazing work of art from over the weekend from Vashetti (i think)....
Ha, I had seen this one - it's been around a little longer than that.
I'm also disappointed by the lack of quality new GIFs inspired by this thread specifically though. GAF, get to work!
No, probably not. Any that doesn't deserve to go through the wringer though. Not informing customers of product details before purchase is about as shitty a thing as a company can do.
I dunno, maybe because Nintendo said utterly nothing and people had to find out on Launch day and then wait ages to get a patch. Apart from random footage and dev kit stuff, we have not seen retail units and what they work like.
I'm stupid.

Indeed. Microsoft have some supremely talented people in OS development. Windows 7 will go down in history as one of the greatest and most stable.
My personal theory on the CBOAT info is a spin on previously revealed information. I believe that the performance on final hardware was significantly worse than third party devs were getting on the target hardware they were developing on because the target hardware provided by MS was more powerful and did not have eSRAM (thuway said to expect a post-E3 downgrade of visuals on the Bone). After the performance hit I think MS were under pressure from third parties to increase performance. They upclocked the GPU in response, but it wasn't enough and the engines built for the target hardware essentially emulates the eSRAM as 1 bank of 32MB rather than the 4x 8MB banks. This may have caused massive rendering problems as games now have to be tiled to get to 1080p with a decent amount of effects which requires a big rewrite of rendering engines, something that is not easy to accomplish so close to the release.
Obviously this all my own speculation, but I believe it is what CBOAT sent to Bish.
That means we're getting the 'greatness awaits' thread title.
And if this thread comes true, then the xb1 thread will post launch be the 'beta tested in the future' slogan.

So that gives MS a free pass?
A new thread was posted for this. If you don't see it on the first page, its probably locked

He's not getting a click from me.
Hell no but waiting for retail units before burning them at the stake might help.

So we can't be upset until it is already out in the wild?
Wait a second. Is all this hubbub over nothing? He says prior to the update here but the update is required, so no one will be playing without it.

And so what? I'm not saying they are exempt however people are making it seem like this is an issue they have to deal with. I can bet half the people aren't even buying X1 day one and are bringing these normal issue front center to make it seem like anyone who buys an X1 should care. To tell you the truth, they don't care. Why should anyone care. If people aren't buying the Wii U, why are they mad that the OS is sluggish? They don't have to deal with it so what the big deal. It's expected and we have seen Nintendo make efforts to make it faster so what is really the point? Why are we point out an issue half of us really don't give a damn about? Is to to make our purchases look better? Is it to make people who are buying an X1 scared or sad or make them feel like shit for picking their choice? Like seriously, explain to me what any of this is suppose to harm or who?

Someone started a thread before with it. Got locked.
Sad to say, I already did, in the other thread.

Liquid is talking about an internal update pretty sure.
There was a thread.
The vid is full on FUD.
And to top it all off i just read Phil Spencer's twitter feed. He is getting hit hard with questions and just bailed.
That and the Xbox One demo truck where the OS is off limits to people playing games on the console.
For their sake i hope they get it right before launch.

Eh. Canada's big box stores are already getting them so I'm not worried.

Not surprising. Gotta keep consumers in the dark until they blind buy.
Ur gonna roll w the conspiracy view on this one?
I expected the XB1 and PS3 OSes to be superior compared to ps3 and 360. MS especially. They make them for a living. Missing/delayed features is one thing, broken is another. Nintendo is in their own stupid little no online multiplayer world. Anyways, with your logic, no one should discuss anything about a console they don't have.
Thats a good sign at least. The ones ive seen so far have been media players and plastic shells.
People killed Nintendo *after* they got their hands on the sluggish WiiU OS. If people get their Xbox Ones home and the OS is still a mess, then they should kill Microsoft.
