Support NeoGAF

[Steel]

So...no Xbox Live crashes and so? Everything runs just fine with Xbox Live and snapping etc? So all the dooms-day talk about the Xbox Live didnt work a couple of weeks ago and crashed is no more?

He's not doing multiplayer, but snap seemed to work on his end.

 

[The Flash]

This thread. Seriously.

Someone get this guy a Gaf account.

 

[Cartman86]

1. ?
2. Sign-in, Security, and ?
3. Privacy and online Safety?
4. Payment and Billing
5. ?
6. My Home ???

 

[CrunchinJelly]

Can you use external hard drive at launch? I can't remember? Also if so, can you install games on it?

they've said not at launch. I asked him to try one and he ignored me.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

He said achievements for COD on 360 carry over to XB1.

That's a bummer. Wanted double!

 

[Colbert]

Oh man, what have they done to the Achievements list? Looks awful!

And no more pictures for achievements?

Agree. But maybe subject to change until launch ...

 

[biRdy]

[GameAddict411]

the idiots who will buy it don't know that they can't actually play it until they download the launch patch.

 

[ronco2000]

This MS doing to get some last minute desperate attempt to get some publicity!

 

[RiccochetJ]

Guerrilla marketing?

Only if you think that MS is smart enough to pull something like this off. Have you seen the PR threads lately?

 

[Steel]

Agree. But maybe subject to change until launch ...

Plenty of room for picts there.

 

[simplythebest]

But where oh where is the ass storm CBOAT promised?!

 

[Cartman86]

After about 20 minutes of doing other things I needed to load back into Ghosts.

Hmmmm...

I feel like we aren't going to know the deal on this instant switch with digital versus disc till we actually get our hands on it.

 

[Beant]

This one guy has made me more excited for this box in like 2 hours than the entirety of Microsoft has in the past 6 months. Thank you mysterious youtube man.

 

[reKon]

that would be incredible if all of this was planned and done on purpose as a stunt to show off that everything works great, lol... I mean how is the only guy who got the Xbox One early who happens to have a whole YouTube channel of video related to gaming? They have the update ready on the servers in advance as well.

Anyways, I wish that he tested a game other than Ghost, damn...

 

[chubigans]

Now he's saying there was a 20 minute limit on using apps before he was forced back into COD?

That can't be right. That doesn't make any sense...

 

[The Flash]

Only if you think that MS is smart enough to pull something like this off. Have you seen the PR threads lately?

They have to. Think about it...

 

[lol51]

Agree. But maybe subject to change until launch ...

It might look nicer if he unlocks it? Maybe if earned it adds image?

 

[TimeEffect]

After about 20 minutes of doing other things I needed to load back into Ghosts.

very interesting. So theres a time limit for running background games/apps?

Yeah

.

Why does Metro enjoy so much empty space on their tiles?

 

[SEGAvangelist]

Now he's saying there was a 20 minute limit on using apps before he was forced back into COD?

That can't be right. That doesn't make any sense...

Wonder if it's some type of reminder?

 

[belushy]

Now he's saying there was a 20 minute limit on using apps before he was forced back into COD?

That can't be right. That doesn't make any sense...

Yeah I am confused as well. What would be the point? OS strain or something?

 

[Steel]

Hmmmm...

justin page ‏@justinpage12 1m

@Moonlightswami needed as in had to?

#1 Source 4 XBOX ONE ‏@Moonlightswami 59s

@justinpage12 Yeah

 

[Justin]

Now he's saying there was a 20 minute limit on using apps before he was forced back into COD?

That can't be right. That doesn't make any sense...

No he is saying that it didnt immediately pop up like it did before. There was a load that happened before it opened back up.

 

[jbug617]

maybe he had too many open. There has to be a limit.

 

[kodecraft]

If it was, the guy would not be thanking a retailer like that. It would of been something like he got it from a mom & pop store. If this was a planned attempt, they would of not allowed him to use a National retailer for his good fortune.

True.

 

[Cartman86]

Now he's saying there was a 20 minute limit on using apps before he was forced back into COD?

That can't be right. That doesn't make any sense...

Yeah completely counter to what everyone was saying in the press this morning. Defeats the purpose of the virtual machines and giving dedicated resources to games.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

No he is saying that it didnt immediately pop up like it did before. There was a load that happened before it opened back up.

Oh ok. That makes sense. Memory management. whew....

 

[mishakoz]

Microsoft,

Please don't remote detonate this guys console, because I know you can. He's actually alleviating some fears that your shitty PR team couldn't.

Yours,

Me.

 

[SRTtoZ]

Now he's saying there was a 20 minute limit on using apps before he was forced back into COD?

That can't be right. That doesn't make any sense...

Wait what? Like you can only be snapped out of a game for so long?

 

[sith ewok]

Wonder if it's some type of reminder?

That's I'm thinking...

 

[GameAddict411]

JimCerryWhatAreYouTalkingAboutWhoAreYouTalkingTo.gif

very late to the thread, my posted was about the first page lol. i guess i was wrong.

 

[supaflyryguy]

Wonder if it's some type of reminder?

If it saves the current game state, maybe it forces you back into the game to re-cache that game state periodically?

 

[chubigans]

No, now he's saying it definitely forced him to go back.

There has to be something we're missing here.

 

[yankeehater]

My god this thread is amazing I am so jealous of this guy.

 

[Wishmaster92]

After all this time, the console is a bit warm, but not hot at all. Still silent, really good sign

Thank you based swami.

 

[Colbert]

It might look nicer if he unlocks it? Maybe if earned it adds image?

Makes a lot of sense. Pictures when unlocked. We will see in 2 weeks unless he unlocks achievements, then earlier

 

[Timu]

Wow, great to hear this.

 

[Cartman86]

maybe he had too many open. There has to be a limit.

Microsoft this morning said there is a limit. It's a memory one so it depends on the apps. The numbers they gave ranged from 4-10. Once you hit that limit the oldest would close just like a phone. This however did not include games as those are supposed to be indefinite.

 

[Neutralfanboy]

The console being silent is a gamechanger.

 

[Yondy604]

So lets see, people payed 100k + with 50 people on PR staff for microsoft. Yet this ONE guy who is a GAMER has done a better job marketing their system in 4 hours.

WHAT DOES THAT TELL YOU MICROSOFT?

 

[Syphon Filter]

It might look nicer if he unlocks it? Maybe if earned it adds image?

yea wasnt 360 like this too?

 

[chubigans]

@Moonlightswami so stopping game to play a movie is a no go for longer than 20 minutes?

#1 Source 4 XBOX ONE ‏@Moonlightswami 36s

@justinpage12 unless u snap it, probably.

I am seriously confused here.

 

[IOnEI Falcon]

I want him to play KI or KS Rivals!

 

[hipbabboom]

Now he's saying there was a 20 minute limit on using apps before he was forced back into COD?

That can't be right. That doesn't make any sense...

Is it an app demo limit? did he switch accidently or was the game waking up from the background because of an event?


Also, did MS say you can have multiple games suspended or just one at a time? Is there a difference between running in the background and suspend even?

 

[SEGAvangelist]

I am seriously confused here.

I think he is too. lol

 

[Papercuts]

I highly doubt it's a time limit, he's probably going in and out of a ton of apps which will boot some out eventually.

 

[hipbabboom]

very late to the thread, my posted was about the first page lol. i guess i was wrong.

sorry Keep up damn it!

They definitely said you can run multiple games at the same time. The example was you start up a MP game and while you wait for it to find you a match you switch over and play a sp game.
