Xbox One tested in the future!!?

Xbox One komt uit de toekomst?
Microsoft and Sony are working hard to promote the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 in various countries Microsoft is apparently forgot to mention something important, given the Xbox One apparently already have been tested in the future.
 
Reddit, user Icebreak came across this remarkable ad against a building. What Microsoft is trying to say with the text "Beta tested in the future" is not entirely clear. Perhaps the console is not finished yet and they want to announce that they will begin beta testing in the near future. 
Or is it to reassure other deferred countries , that the first release is actually a beta and that we will soon get a bug free console?

Fifa 14 and Xbox one going to conquer europe !!?



The Xbox One may be more expensive than the PlayStation 3. You will get a game with it in Europe. It is FIFA 14 that will be bundled with the Xbox at launch.

FIFA 14 -- which Microsoft revealed would have timed-exclusive features on its next-gen console -- may come bundled with Xbox One in Europe. Sources speaking with MCV said the announcement would come out of Microsoft's Gamescom event tomorrow, alongside a suggested £429.99 price tag (the same price as the console itself). The price will not be increased by the game there. Microsoft would work with Electronic Arts to create the package. Earlier it was still reported via CVG that it would be an Xbox exclusive title. FIFA 14 is obviously not. Microsoft has not officially confirmed the information.

 

This would be an extraordinary score for Microsoft. FIFA 13 sold nearly 15 million copies, and bundling the next-gen follow-up would make an Xbox One an alluring purchase at launch, indeed. No word on whether this is a partnership that would make its way out of Europe.

Unity working on Special Xbox One Engine.

Unity Technologies, the company behind the popular especially among indie developers Unity Engine, intends to create for Xbox One, just as they already have a special version for the Xbox 360. A special version of the engine where special attention is paid to the Kinect features. 
CEO David Helgason, says:
"  it's actually Because it is so powerful,"... I do not know how to say it ... when I say that it's ridiculous, it sounds negative, but it's just a great piece of hardware. And the software out there is actually a large part of the software that the engine must support to be as good as it can be. And so we work on it. "
Helgason further told that also features as Smart Glass and Cloud receive special attention, so developers can easily get started with everything the Xbox One has to offer.

No Red lights , cose the one can protect itself !?

No red lights!
It seemed to be a boast of when Microsoft the company announced that the console could stand without problems for ten years. Now it appears that the developer of the Xbox One considerable has managed to build in security in the console  to avoid overheating.
Leo del Castillo, general manager console development at Microsoft, has announced that the new Xbox can protect itself against overheating. For example, the console will intervene when the user plays a lot in a warm environment or if the player has blocked the vents. The One ensures that the temperature will be monitored and alerts on time when a possible error can occur and when it is necessary. 


Del Castillo said that first the fans start to run when the temperature starts to become warmer. Normally, they are silent but in the case of a hot console you will hear them. You can just continue playing without intervening but the console lets you know that he is warm.
If you long to go through, then the one switches itself parts off  (which you are not using at the time) to protect themselves.
Quote:

    The way we designed the box, we do not actually superintend it to ever have to go to maximum speed under normal environmental conditions. But there is overhead. So we'll allow the fan to go all the way up to its maximum speed and If That solves the condition without the user having to do anything.

    One Thing That we have more flexibility with That is we can dial back the power of the box considerably. We had a little less flexibility with the 360. And so basically, if we could not dissipate the heat, there was not a whole lot of leverage we could pull to keep the heat from being generated, so we had a limited amount of time before it just shut down. Xbox One can actually dial it back to a lower power state, so low in factthat it can in a modethat uses Virtually no air flow.



If you still continue with your console, then the Xbox One, when it really goes wrong, it will visually let you know that you're really are in need to stop on the screen.
So that your console is ultimate protected from over heating and it will guarantee a longer life cycle.

The improvements of the xbox controller ! and more Xbox One news!!

http://img.youtube.com/vi/m4SYaTLCWL0/0.jpgIn this video major nelson is telling us all about the new xbox controller and is discussing it with the general manager Zufi Alam. like the new features and changes that are made on it, and the design of course. the improvements and lots more in the link below.

Check it here !!






The
Xbox One also works if you do not have the Kinect sensor but without the Kinect functionality!
The latter speaks for itself, not the first. Microsoft have previously communicated that Kinect was required because the device was an essential part of the interface and future Xbox One games. From an interview with fifafreakz  the company comes back from this statement. It is not yet clear which features of the Xbox one his Kinect requires.

We can not say for certain whether some games work even without Kinect. Microsoft may leave this to the developers of the games
just like it also works on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation Eye. That is still not confirmed by Microsoft.

There is also an option for the Kinect to shut it completely out or on. In this state the sensor douse not record any  voices or movement of players. When a feature is triggered who needs Kinect, the user is asked if he wants to turn it back on. This can also be done manually via the menu of the Xbox One.

Xbox live microsoft points swaps to MONEY !!

Around the announcement of the Xbox one by Microsoft where a few thing's said about Microsoft Points. Since the launch of the Xbox 360 Xbox Live users pay their games, add-ons, DLCs and avatar items with Microsoft Points. Many users would much prefer to see the amounts involved instead of Microsoft Points so you do not always need to calculate everything around.  And therefore, Microsoft will change this. At the next system update of the Xbox 360 No more points but just money. Local currency, so we are going to pay in euros/dollars instead of Microsoft Points.

This is clear as water for you and me, but on the other hand you
still can get the Microsoftpoints significantly below their retail price  here and there . Ten euro remains just ten euros, so this will be a lot harder in the future. If you still have some  Microsoft Points codes that you can redeem then you do not have to rush. Your current Microsoft Points are just settled into real currency and then Microsoft will always use the same value or even a slightly higher value. If the Xbox One comes out then it will start right away with real currency. The disappearance of the Microsoft Points implies that Microsoft now can distribute giftcards. Major Nelson also says on his blog that buying items will now be much easier and that every possible method of payment will be available for each region also credit cards.  Towards the end of this year, the changes will take place.

    
"Earlier this year, we Announced That we are bringing local currency to One Xbox and Xbox 360 consoles. This change was a direct result of customer feedback. You told us you want to be bootable to buy things using money instead of points, and we listened.

Major Nelson:

    Our goal is to make this transition as easy as possible for you. After the next Xbox 360 system update, when you go to buy something or redeem a Microsoft Points card or code with your Microsoft account, we'll add to your account an amount of currency equal to or greater than the value of your Microsoft Xbox Marketplace Points, whichwill be retired.

    Making a purchase will be faster and easier than ever. You will see item prices overexpressed in local currency, no need to calculate what an item costs! You will still be bootable directly to purchase content from Xbox stores using any current form of payment available in your region, zoals credit cards. And starting in late 2013, you'll be bootable usefull to buy new Xbox Gift Cards (denominated in your local currency) through our online retailers and in local retail stores. These gift cards can be added to your Microsoft account online and are another easy-to-use payment option for customers.

    Do not worry about your Microsoft Points Cards either. We'll continuous to accept purchased Microsoft Points Cards and codes until further Top notice, and we'll add to your account an amount of local currency equal to or greater than the value Marketplace Of Those points. In addition, we know you've worked hard on your earned Microsoft Points through Xbox Live Rewards. These Will Remain in your Xbox Live account and transition to local currency with the rest of your Microsoft Points. "

Xbox one HOME GOLD an NEW FEATURE !!

Xbox Live Gold members will be able on their Xbox One share features that are exclusive to a Gold abo with other users of the console. This saves per family a Gold subscription so you only need one abo, and every one can use all of the extras from one abo and that is very nice !! . Xbox Live

Xbox Live Microsoft calls the construction Xbox One Home Gold. It implies that several features that are reserved for Gold subscribers, such as multiplayer gaming, Game DVR, Smart Match and Internet Explorer, can be used with other accounts that use the same physical console. Gamers who have no Gold abo can then, for example, play online without paying, as long as there is linked  one gamertag to the console who has a Gold abo.

The feature also applies to digital content:  if the user with the Gold subscription downloads a digital version of a game, then the other users of the console can play this
. This is also possible if the user who purchased the game is not online .

Home Gold is not restricted to a physical console. As an Xbox Live Gold subscribers logs in on  a Xbox One of an friend , then the other accounts on that machine logged on also can use the additional features.

Battlefield 4 New interview with Patrick Bach from DICE with loads of new info !!

Earlier today you could read that the options to use in your class specific specializations will disappear in favour of new field upgrades. Now there is something new to report about Battlefield 4. On YouTube appeared a video interview with executive producer Patrick Bach and there we get some interesting things forward in this interview, such as;
  •     Easier implementation of patches and updates because they are now using the Frosbite 3 engine
  •     The dynamic change of  factions by the administrator of the server, for example, that you can play in the Siege map with America against China or in the same folder America against Russia or China against Russia.
  •     There will not be a day and night cycle, DICE has done tests with this and concluded that it was too difficult to navigate through the darkness as a player.

Furthermore, there are also issues over which already information is given, such as the extensive destruction system and the new 'Commander mode' which are also shown in the video . When asked what he considered the most important new feature in the game Bach could not give a clear answer.He mentioned the dynamic level system where the playing field suddenly changes by a certain event (such as a building that collapses) and the many possibilities you have to upgrade your second weapon and even upgrade your knife.He indicated that DICE has not looked directly to eSports in the development of the game and it's more

important to develop a game that runs on a stable engine. Then the game will be automatically picked up by the eSport community, he indicated.Despite it not contains all new information, it is definitely worth it to watch the video. I liked to posted the video above, but for some unknown reason you can only watch it on YouTube, to watch the video single Click here ore one of the other links to directly see the interview and loads of other inside info .

Xbox One boxes going to have the headset included !!

All Xbox One-bundles will be shipped with a headset! This let Microsoft know in a announcement.

Previously it was thought that there would not come a headset along with the Xbox One and that gamers should buy in the store. Bud Microsoft confirms that every purchase of an Xbox One is good for a headset. And that is some great news cos we all like those free gadgets. 



The Xbox One Day One edition will be bundled with the 4K HDMI cable. This cable is a Category 2 HDMI cable, 1080p resolution and also supports 3D and 4K. The wireless radio of Xbox One is A / B / G / N, but also supports dual-band 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequencies, when you put the micro-USB cable to the controller to play with wire, then the internal radio will be switched off and the data streams through the cable. It is also possible to use the controller in this mode without batteries.

The Xbox One is launched in November for 499 euros. A specific release date, Microsoft has not yet announced.

The Xbox One's GPU upgrade does it make any difference ?? Full report !!

I would like to comment on the news that the technicians of Microsoft's graphics speed of Xbox One have increased 6.62 percent. Are we going to notice this? Is this essential?

To explain this, I must first explain a few things for the readers who are not so concerned with this kind of technical drivel. The idea behind a (game) computer is as follows: you want to build a system - consisting of many different parts that their specific function - that as many calculations per second can make. These calculations cost power / energy / power. The more powerful the components are, the more energy they consume, the warmer they are. Heat is the so-called bottleneck, because from certain parts temperatures will no longer function. Making a computer is actually a balance between power and heat you want as much power as possible without the hardware to demolish. Cooling is very important and this is incidentally why the previous versions of the Xbox 360 as noisy: the fans do their best to keep God gruesome the device to an acceptable temperature.The latter also hooked on the news that the Xbox One can stand to ten years. Whether this is possible in software - operating systems since after long usage 'overloaded' could become - let's in the middle, but with proper cooling, this is a hardware option. Let the whiners but tasty grumble on the size of the console, in the end, this is precisely what you want. A larger device has more room for fans and other cooling elements, and more 'open space' in the console emits heat more opportunity to be (airflow). Drained The more heat can be dissipated the more power you can pump by the hardware. The good dissipating heat literally translates into better outcomes, such as shorter load times or more beautiful shadow effects. Because you can pump more power through the hardware, which you can increase if you have a good airflow. Single performance This is the reason why my Rainbow Dash on wheels says the case is so large and heavy that the idea to lift this thing alone caused a triple hernia. In short: big = good.Clock SpeedNow we will go to the news of Microsoft and their 6.62 percent. For what have they done? The technicians of Microsoft are engaged in 'overclocking'. Overclocking means that you have a piece of hardware (such as the processor or video card) boosts, as it were, as many also step up their mopeds. You let a piece of hardware so make more calculations than initially is common, which (may be the speed that determines how many calculations) so higher.'s Clock speed This causes (you guessed it) more heat, but this need not be provided you discharge this well no problem. Microsoft has released the video card overgeclockt so it is therefore slightly faster. 6.62 percent to be exact.To go further on what they have done exactly in I have to make one thing clear. The speed of a video card is indicated by two clock speeds: the "memory clock" and the "core clock" - all video cards are obviously a lot more complex than just these two figures. The most important of these is the core clock speed ', because it primarily affects how many pixels the video card and textures per second calls and the memory can write (though this is a bit short-sighted). The 'memory clock speed "determines the speed at which this data is loaded, so you get eg shorter load times. Both speeds are measured in MHz, but you can not simply two different video cards side by side and looking at the card MHz higher. When the chip of the card is better, the less MHz to perform. Same calculations required The chip is faster, itself so the 'core' and 'memory' have to work for the same result, to put it as simple to express so hard. In summary, the core clock speed is (generally) more important than the memory clock speed.

Research and resultsThis I have experienced myself when I hit the overclocking. When I raised the only 50MHz core clock, I saw the results in frames per second back. So I have The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim on my PC, but I have all installed mods that make the game many many many times better. By increasing the core clock 50MHz with my heavily modified version of Skyrim was about 5 percent faster. And I'm not alone in this experience, because other technical websites also have this kind of research done and they came to the same conclusion. So you can better increase the core clock speed than the memory clock speed, although the differences are not so great in some games because they are programmed differently. The study linked above DiRT 3 turned example, 18 percent faster core clock with the increase, which is quite a difference. Slightly more than 110MHz


 
Now we can look at the performance of Microsoft. Their technicians have the core clock speed of the graphics of Xbox One increased from 800MHz to 853MHz, without straining. Hardware with too much heat Whether this speed at all or 800MHz been or not - because we hear this figure, for the first - let's in the middle. The question is: will we notice this? Obviously, I can not answer that in conclusion here, because we can not compare their closed system with blind for example. Gaming PC But if developers confirm that this increase in speed has actually taken place, we can free make sure that this weldegelijk makes a difference. The difference will not be large enough to games that run at 30 frames per second, to lift, to a smooth 60 frames per second that I guarantee you. But this small increase can make the difference between "stable running at 30 or 60 frames per second" and "at 30 or 60 frames per second ... with some frame drops / stuttering.53MHz is an increase of 6.62 per cent, and it seems that only a minimal improvement. But we now know that increasing the right speed - though it is only 53MHz - weldegelijk can have impact. Perhaps this improvement even more impact because it is a closed system is concerned, but that is another issue that we have to submit. To developers

Microsoft polish the grafics on XBOX ONE !!



Microsoft has improved the graphics processor of Xbox One , which now has about 853 MHz instead of 800 MHz. The news was announced during a podcast from GameSpot with Larry "Major Nelson" Hryb. Previously the news leaked and could not be confirmed because the podcast was not yet online, but now that is the case. Here you can listen to the podcast.
The podcast goes on to say that developers,might give their games some extra graphics shine around this time they get the final dev kits. It was also said that there is now an internal beta by Microsoft of Xbox One and still daily business to be adapted to the operating system but are actually two things that you would expect anyway, of course.

Xbox One designed for running time of 10 years!!

After several interviews with insiders of Microsoft's Digital Foundry concluded that the Xbox One is designed so that the unit can stand running for 10 years. This, according to Digital Foundry also one of the reasons that the Xbox is so great.

life
Reliability, according to the insiders a priority in the development of the Xbox One, they designed the console with a cycle of 10 years in mind. The One also had to be very quiet to make his stand  in the living room worthy.

silent power
The combination of silent operation and long life has led to the choice of a large enclosure with more than enough room for the cooling hardware. With the failure of the RROD of the Xbox 360 in mind.
They choose for a wider design that can drain the heat better and leave the times of jet noise and buzzing fans belong to the past. And the many millions that it cost to replace al the failure Xbox 306's, the designers of Microsoft took no chances this time.

Microsoft will provide more information on the Xbox One during the Gamescom press conference at the end of this month in Keulen .

Smart Match Finds the Perfect Players for the Perfect game

Here is an peace about the smart Match functioning of the Xbox One, tell me if you like it That ore do you think its fun to beat players who get crazy. Because ill do like it bud sometimes its very irritating when you just not in the mood and that's why this is an very nice feature, and not only Because Of That bud usefull there are KIDS playing! And you cant get this ad mad kids if you are loosing!Smart Matches on Xbox One is completely reengineered for a new generation of gaming - using advanced algorithms to pair players based on skill, language, and now reputation. It's smarter, faster and optimized to help you play with exactly the people you want, when you want. The advanced party system goes far beyond the beacons or Xbox 360, Which was limited to people you already knew. Helping you discover and connect easily with players is now central to the experience. In addition, for the first time, games will be bootable player stats to share with Xbox Live and eachother, to learn, evolve, and providence you with the best possible matchmaking available. 
The results? Titles have the ability to match you with other players based on reputation (we whichwill be talking more about in a post tomorrow), skill, language, age, and even your specific gameplay style. You will not find yourself in way over your head but you'll always have a good challenge. 
Smart Match Frees Up Your Time 
With Smart Match, you can do whatever you want while Xbox One finds your perfect match. This Means That less popular multiplayer modes and maps thathave traditionally taken a long time to find players suddenly become playable. Because Snap mode is a core feature of Xbox One that lets you do two things at once, you no longer have to wait in lobbies while Xbox Live is matchmaking for you. One friend can even set up matches for your whole party.

While Xbox Live is matchmaking, untethered and you're free to do what you want, like watch TV or check out your favorite website or apps while waiting for your next game. If you're playing digital games, you can just play one game while Smart Match prepares a second. This freedom to break out of waiting in lobbies and do whatever you want is what separates Xbox One from systems that do not have a way to instantly switch between tasks.


Smart Match Lets You Know When Your Game is Ready



After you or a party member inputs the criteria for your perfect game, do something more fun than waiting, it's up to you. Play another game, find some new downloadable content, or jump on Reddit. Take yourself as many touch points away from the matchmaking process as you can and you still do not need to worry about finding your way back. Once Xbox One is done finding your perfect match, it will prompt you with a simple toast-no matter where you are or what you're doing, so you can jump straight into playing.


If you'd like to learn more about Smart Match, check out Major Nelson's interview with Michael Dunn, Program Manager on Xbox Live Services, and this detailed piece about Smart Match.

Bioshock : Infinite have DLC Called Burial at Sea !! SPOILER ALLERT !

Today there is very sneaky DLC for BioShock: Infinite named BioShock Infinite: Clash in the Clouds. Did you totally missed it? Do not worry, you can not miss it that much. It is a wave-based DLC where you are in a state arena and must survive.We have Call of Duty with zombies for that. No, BioShock: Infinite, we want real DLC with story. And that it will be with : Burial at Sea.

I can not escape to spoil something. If you

Anyone who has played the game knows that you in the end of the game ending up in Rapture. Not to play, but you'll get through this. The first story DLC that comes out later this year also brings you to Rapture. In this Booket DeWitt a private detective. It's New Year's Eve 1958 and that is the night when the bombing of Rapture began and put  in the end. A year later there was nothing left of Rapture. The city still is alive. Everything is still in operation. Booker wants to get out of Rapture and there is someone who can help him to Elizabeth. The two do not know each-other of course  , so this would be the first meeting.

There is also a video containing Rapture when it was still alive. Little Sisters? Check. This is the first part of the story, so a second DLC is required to go through the whole story. The price per DLC is 9.99 and that does not seem too much for such content. In Burial at Sea Episode Two you do not play as Booker incidentally, but as Elizabeth.
