Level 100 insider.um....who is this "matt"?
I love the random impressions haha.
Regardless of what shape both consoles are in I can't wait for the Giantbomb stream of unboxing and using both, on launch
Suddenly the Wii U is looking good.
I noticed you didn't say "unfounded"
Hmm, no I didn't, did I?
so the company that owns Skype, is having problem with VOIP...
Im just saying this sounds a bit fishy. Call me stubborn, I just have a hard time believing that 100%.
Other issues, sure, ofcourse, thats how new tech works, and its not easy making these computers that are supposed to last for years. But VOIP, idk, seems off.
As someone who works in product engineering, and has been on the inside of some fairly aggressive product launches, the issues mort reported are not surprising at all. I wholeheartedly believe that these things are happening because its *very* easy for these types of things to happen when dealing with the level of complexity that I perceive is necessary to pull off the functionality that MSFT is trying to hit.
Not saying that we should excuse MSFT in the event these issues are present on launch day. After all, they promised us a feature list and it is on them to deliver, especially for people who paid hard-earned money for their consoles. But people reacting like the mere presence of these issues is some hugely abnormal occurrence, or an indication of MS technical incompetence are lacking a bit of perspective. If anything the severity of the issues likely points to over-aggressive timelines, or suspect product management (the part about suits meddling in technical decisions is very believable) on the part of MSFT. It will be very interesting to see how they respond to their customer base if/when these issues start to bite users on day one.
The stuff in particular about difficulties in remediating issues due to having multiple API handshakes to jump is something that hits pretty close to home for me. It's actually a pretty difficult problem across all of IT. Especially as more and more apps are built using a SOA-based approach.
The sys engineer in me wants to send the Dev/Ops folk at Microsoft and Sony a case of beer and a good luck note as they're probably looking at a rough several months ahead, even though the gamer in me is going to be shouting expletives at my TV if I'm unable to jump into a BF4 game on launch weekend.
Dude, this calls for Funyons!
That is not a good sign.
Hatches battened!
Nearing 1300 posts in a little under 2 hours, sweet baby Jesus.
This thread is fascinating.

Which is better? A rushed launch where you ruin your reputation? Or launching late and building hype with a truly great product? Just seems like MS has been dead set on launching with the PS4. And on top of that, they abandoned whatever vision they had for the XB1 the moment they started the 180's. Doesn't seem like they have a long term plan
That's probably bad news for everyone. :/

Sony's OS is pretty pedestrian to what MS are trying to achieve.
As mentioned, some French dudes took a poke around and it seemed to work.
I love this fucking guy.

Yup that's what I took it as, both for PS4 owners and Xbox One owners.
That is not a good sign.
Haha, don't get crazy now.

Seriously what do you need besides cross game chat?Which is why keeping it simple usually pays off in the end.
That Marcus Twitter exchange almost warrants a new thread. Seems to point to we still don't know everything incoming yet.
When it rains, it pours. So long as the shit train can't be traced back to you.Man, lots of Xbox devs posting in the blog comments.
Umm Kagari said no more vague tweets threads.That Marcus Twitter exchange almost warrants a new thread. Seems to point to we still don't know everything incoming yet.
The thread ender, that's who.
Can you feel the winds of shit blowing?
