Do we know what Killer Instict: Round One that comes with the Xbox Live Gold package is?

It is the full game but you can only play with 1 character.

 

[Uno Venova]

How DARE they keep making the Xboxoxo better?!?!!

Are there actually people upset they included a headset?

 

[Klocker]

I've always thought that this pretty much summed up what it's been like to be a fan of the Xbox One since it's unveiling.

+1

 

[derFeef]

Wait...so the F2P version of KI is only a day one bonus and not a standard thing? Or am I reading it wrong?

My interpetation is that you get Shadow Jago for KI: Round One (which might be just the name of the game) with this card.

DH has stated that EVERYTHING about KI will be known in Gamescon.

On the card KI: Round One, and the Shadow Jago are listed as two separate bonuses.

 

[Xanadu]

What's people's obsession with internal PSUs? Both my NES and Genesis had big power bricks.

sony has spoiled me i guess

You can read it both ways I guess, it's weird. Gamescom is where we get all the KI info luckily.

Well clearly the future of games was headsetless and now because of all of you, we don't get to have the future.

Thanks Obama.

Someone, somewhere is crying themselves to sleep right now

 

[TriGen]

The only thing that bugs me about it is how it has to load up an episode of a show before you can see the list of the rest of the episodes.

That bugs me so much. Especially because it wasn't always like that.

 

[FairXchange]

I find it hard to believe we already have an unboxing video for a next gen console this early. It's seriously early, it's awesome but at the same time I rather see a youtuber umboxing where they take their time analyzing the individual components, this one felt sort of rushed.

 

[Garrett 2U]

Yeah there are people saying Microsoft is hurting themselves by listening to consumer complaints because it like... highlights... their previous faults... or something.

 

[hgarrett54]

Daaaaaamn.

Xbox One is looking better every day.

Edit: I love how many people are giving MS shit for doing things like this.

 

[Dai101]

[Penguins&PolarBears]

Most interesting revelation in this unboxing is that the Kinect can be used as an IR blaster.


That makes setup for controlling your TV potentially very easy.

Corporate people can do a good unboxing, but they need to do it like Iwata unboxed the Wii U. He put gloves on, went very slow, and honestly did it very erotically. Major Nelson will have to work on it.

 

[FrankNitty]

For an unboxing video that kind of sucked I was expecting some close ups what not. That kinect is huge. I wonder what is the minimum distance it is usable

 

[derFeef]

Hah, I knew I would see that sooner or later.

I remember that unboxing video, it was awesome.

 

[creyas]

Oh man at "beautiful little sensor". Controller didn't look so hot on this one.

Nice box though.

 

[KageMaru]

lol perfect.

Microsoft does Mitt Romney proud.

Only they would think they can get away with reversing horrible decisions, and think people will vote for them over the better, and more stable competitor.

All these reversals is good, but it also makes Microsoft look worse by what they tried to get away with.

I see similar comments like this and I just don't get it. Did you make such ignorant comments when Sony tried to tell people to get another job to help pay for the PS3 or that rumble was last gen and it wouldn't work right with their motion sensing tech? Did you make such comments when Nintendo has said for a few generations in a row now that they are fixing their 3rd party relations?

This is the result of competition, every company changes things in response to customer reaction and what their rivals are doing. It's what we should all want to happen in the end because we benefit.

It's funny when people think these companies are any different really. They all want our money and nothing more. As long as they keep producing games I want, I'll buy their system, I don't care if it's MS, Sony, or Nintendo.

He's somewhat telling the truth though. They were championing features and even went as far as to rename features that come standard in modern AMD GPUs to make it look more exotic than it really is.

Marketing basically. Can't escape it.

It was already explained why Larry described the HDMI cable like he did. However Brad just ignored, or missed it, and went on with his post anyways. If you knew the guys' post history here and at B3D, you'd know that him saying something positive about MS is something of a rarity.

It was stupid to talk about the HDMI cable like that, I agree, but it's not worth the trolling it's received in this thread.

I have never had a issue with the Netflix app...

It's....passable, but pretty damn shit compared to the app on the PS3.

Youtubers still can do a good unboxing. I like that major nelson did it nice and short cause frankly I have a short attention spam for unboxing on youtube. But if you like them, I'd bet money they will still be available once the console actually is released - maybe even before since I wouldn't be surprised if MS sends them free consoles ahead of release.

 

[TriGen]

I'm telling you guys, this is how it's done...

lol, this gif so perfectly exhibits what MS is all about

Lol, PEGI 7.

As for the OP, that's good that Xbox One comes with a headset, it would have been a bad move to make the players use Kinect as the headset.

 

[MogCakes]

Good on MS. I recall some posts here a while ago that said they were glad there would be less 12 year olds screaming on XBL because of no included headset. Guess they were wrong!

 

[TriGen]

Lol, PEGI 7.

Yeah. Kinect as the only out-of-box chat option would have brought a lot of dog barking and background noise online. (And there is already plenty of that.)

 

[fruiteater]

good, now remove that useless brick and add a play and charge pack, and i might consider you because of halo.

 

[LyleLanley]

Yeah. Kinect as the only out-of-box chat option would have brought a lot of dog barking and background noise online. (And there is already plenty of that.)

Not that it really matters now but I thought I read that the new Kinect is really good at isolating voices and drowning out unwanted noises.

 

[Satchel]

Fuck yes. Good news for Day One edition buyers like me.

I'm assuming this is for the day one only?

 

[FlashFlooder]

I still don't understand the point in releasing an unboxing video of a console with no set release date and a mythical one of nearly 3 months away. Seems like something to do the week before release.

pretty obvious they're desperately trying to dissipate the cloud of negativity currently hovering over the xbone.

 

[LyleLanley]

Fuck yes. Good news for Day One edition buyers like me.

I'm assuming this is for the day one only?

From the OP:

(Note: IGN has confirmed with Microsoft that the Chat Headset will be included in every Xbox One and not just the limited-edition Day One versions of the console)

 

[Brad Grenz]

If Microsoft wants me to say positive things about them they should stop acting like snake oil salesmen. I did miss Penello's explanation before I posted, but it is an incredibly weak excuse. They are not to be congratulated for testing their system, nor does it excuse the way they represented a working highspeed cable as somehow remarkable. And as I mentioned, this is hardly an isolated incident. We're hot off the "mono driver" and in this very thread an IR blaster is being described as "magical".

 

[fruiteater]

Fuck yes. Good news for Day One edition buyers like me.

nope its for all the Xbone editions, the headset i mean. The chromed dpad and shit is dayone edition + that digital content.

 

[TriGen]

Not that it really matters now but I thought I read that the new Kinect is really good at isolating voices and drowning out unwanted noises.

I think it is better, and in fact with the built-in recording I would like to be able to have multiple people's voices be able to be picked up over Kinect if I ever uploaded a video with commentary. Still, I imagine close by animals and people playing music will still come through.

 

[nick_622]

No ... IGN confirmed that it will be included with all Xbox Ones!!

 

[KageMaru]

I'm telling you guys, this is how it's done...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECqpc6Ses4s

This was fine too, I actually like how he was personable during it making jokes about how it looks like he's on a shopping channel and how he's made a mess, but it wasn't much different than this unboxing. One thing done with the Xbone unboxing that I wish Iwata did is show the sides of the console in more detail.

IMO an unboxing is an unboxing, nothing really that special, but at least we know what is coming in the package.

 

[Zoggy]

haha that was a great vid, its like major nelson was doing a parody of those QVC salesman

 

[TriGen]

BTW, is the "Day-One Edition" the initial shipment of consoles. Meaning, are day one consoles "Day-One" consoles. Or could you buy a console on day one and not get a "Day-One" version. When they first talked about it I assumed the initial day one stock was all limited edition, but the way it was said there I'm guessing it's not?

The flip side is, if it wasn't specified, people (possibly even you) would decry that its probably an old 1.3a type cable and shout it from the rooftops. Its just clarification, more info is always better.

 

[Law Abiding Stranger]

That brick, jesus.

It's a deadly weapon.

 

[eddfromtheriver]

Getting dizzy from all dem 180s.

Arghhh!!!... you stole my post!!!

Spoiler

Still waiting for the 180 on the Kinect and the change of brand colour from OG green to a new cool shade of blue.

 

[sappyday]

All these 180's are good. I'll probably get the console in the near future. Also the design looks a lot more appealing there than anywhere else I've seen it.
