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.

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.

PS4 And Xbox One Are practical the same by John Carmack

Xbox One and PlayStation 4 are basically the same in terms of performance, explains John Carmack, co-founder of id Software. During his QuakeCon 2013 presentation told the big man behind games like Wolfenstein 3D, Doom and Quake that he was surprised to discover how much the two next-gen consoles are alike.

Carmack said:


I have not really done rigorous benchmarking [but] they're very close and they're both very good. It's almost amazing how close they are in capabilities, how common they are.

Incidentally Carmack was still critical of Kinect, partly due to a moderate connection and limited framerate. Whether the new Kinect will have  a better appeal to the public is another matter, though it matters of course that the Xbox One standard will be supplied with Kinect

The Xbox One appears in November for 499 euros. The PlayStation 4 will appear somewhere around the holidays and has a price tag of 399 euros.

I know the prices of the Xbox One controller!!

The cost of the controller and headset for Xbox One are announced for the U.S.. In America, an Xbox One controller costs $ 59.99 and the Headset $ 24.99.

Although the official price for the accessories of Xbox One is not yet known for our region, the U.S. retail price of the controller and headset for Microsoft's Next-Gen unveiled at the Microsoft Store. The controller will cost $ 59.99 (€ 45) and the Headset $ 24.99 (€ 19). The official charging kit with USB cable and battery pack will cost $ 24.99.

With every Xbox One is a standard controller and the Kinect sensor. Who wants the headset, will have to
pay.The Chat Headset is not captured in the bundle.What is a pity cos we all like them so much bud if they say we don't need it we like to be-leave them! And of course we also understand that the price of an Xbox One must be as low as possible otherwise they probably going to sale them less cheap !

Interestingly, the Xbox One controller standard uses two AA batteries and you have to pay extra for a rechargeable battery. That is not the most environmentally and user friendly, choice of Microsoft for its Next-Gen Console. Hopefully is the controller energy efficient, or else Xbox One gamers will use many battery's whit their favorite thing to do.

Xbox one can scan youre face in to games !!

Microsoft is apparently still busy innovating with Xbox One, before it is placed on the market. At the Comic-Con in San Diego found that the software giant wants to add. A thing to the console One of these cases is the ability to scan faces to be used for characters in games.

Using the included Kinect camera will scan the face of people in to the console. The camera can also estimate the BMI of a user and adjust the body of a game character to your head. The digital face can also show different emotions on the basis of the expression on his 'analogue' image, which might be. A nice extra in multiplayer games

What games will offer to this possibility has not been revealed, however, the function is free to use for all developers who are interested. The chance that we will actually see back  this function is thus considerable.
 

The Xbox One's recording the image of a game to share that online. If you play, the console always automatically record the last five minutes, so if you have really epic action you can save this immediately and it does not have to arrive to coincidental moments.

The console also has the ability to controller profiles to save. If the controller is then transferred to another player, it will be observed and the control adjusted accordingly. Using Kinect

Xbox one stores 5 min of game play and PS4 3 times as mutch !!

The Xbox One stores the last five minutes of images from a game you play at that time.

We already knew that the device could do this, but not exactly how long. If there was therefore something beautiful happened that you really wanted to share, you can still dig back to five minutes. And if you are gaming on-line and not able to go in the menu can to save it forever then there is a button to save it directly to the last 30 seconds.

The PS4 has a similar function, but who picks up the last fifteen minutes. Both consoles also have a built-in edit function to liven up the images. So please leave a comment on your own gameplay Kinect on Xbox One. Whether you let it sit and capture streaming directly via Twitch or Ustream.

Microsoft gives some details price at Comic Con



Last weekend was the San Diego Comic Con, one of the biggest comic fairs in the world if not the largest.
And because it is so great there are involved more and more elements. For example, the get games and gaming itself get a lot of attention at the show. Not very surprising therefore that the Xbox One controller was shown there. Microsoft organized a professional panel that would show the new features of the Xbox One controller, Dead Rising 3 on Kinect and about Xbox SmartGlass , and this is what the gents did.


The names speak for themselves. The panel, led by Major Nelson, featured big names like Ken Lobb (Microsoft), Dan Greenawalt (Turn 10 Studios), Josh Bridge (Dead Rising 3), Justin Robey (Microsoft Studios) and Nick Burton (Rare). Okay, not the most objective persons bud it will do. Ken Lobb showed how to use Project Upload highlights (in this case of) Killer Instinct. Lobb also showed that the Xbox One controller through the Kinect CAMRA recognize who holds the controller. When the controller is past to another player it automatically loads the personal settings of this player.
Dan Greenawalt went deeper into the technology "under the hood" of the controller. He talked about the individual rumbles into the triggers that can give feedback on the status of your tires in games like Forza 5. Include This would allow the players better grip on the road can feel and can scan when and how hard to brake better. Josh Bridge showed some slideshows of in-game features of Dead Rising 3. He showed for example how a zombie anatomically correct was chopped into pieces. Zombies chopping is always fun and especially if there's still a bit realistic appearance of course! There was a moment when they showed how the
glass shards flew in the air and they make this very realistic in comparison with the laws of physics.
Justin Robey spoke mainly about the much talked Xbox SmartGlass. He told mainly about the possibilities SmartGlass entails. So you via Smart Glass invite people to join you and you get a notification if the other players are ready to start. Nick Burton spoke mainly about the improvements of 2.0 relative to the Kinect Kinect 1.0. Thus, the new Kinect every wrinkle in your face 'reading' and therefore he can recognize facial expressions. Also, the Kinect 2.0 see which finger which is about three meters away. Burton had to demonstrate a moment to scan his face by the Kinect 2.0 after the scan was then imported in the game. This allows players to their face, BMI and geometry import into their game effectively you yourself are that character.

Microsoft explains how Kinect works with Killer Instinct!!

There has been much around the Kinect 2.0, but is this really justified? Finally, we have the updated version of the original Kinect still does not work given to it and we may have only the expectation of a 1.0 Kinect that simply records the movements more accurate. Microsoft therefore explains how Kinect 2.0 with the game Killer Instinct will work. It is clear in any case that Kinect Kinect 1.0 2.0 not only has a new look. The Kinect 2.0 has some new features viz.

Adam Isgreen is creative director at Microsoft and explains what Kinect 2.0 for games like Killer Instinct can do. He says that the Kinect 2.0 ensures that you become one with your controller when you pick up the controller. Kinect 2.0 also recognize who picks up the controller so that the game will immediately adjusts to your desired settings. When someone else then the controller will pick up the preferences changed back to the preferences of the person.

     "It knows your buttons, it knows how you like to play, it knows what characters you want to play, you can just jump in and say start and go. It can do that mid-fight too. If I give you the controller, it figures it recon. I know a lot of you are like 'ah a Kinect camera in the room I'm scared' ... but there's a lot of neat features we can start to do. "

Adam Isgreen also left something loose about the possibility that Microsoft could go online tournaments organize and broadcast via Twitch. Twitch is a popular streaming service where the focus is mainly on video games. Twitch will sit also integrated into the Xbox One. Killer Instinct is one of the launch titles for the Xbox One and is free-to-play. Killer Instinct is in development at Double Helix Games.

Kinect is almost even valuable then the Xbox its self !!?

An anonymous Microsoft employee claims that manufacturing the Kinect sensor costs “almost as much” as manufacturing the Xbox One. The information was revealed in an “Ask Me Anything” session on Reddit, which was verified to be authentic by Reddit moderators. The employee explained that the Kinect plays a major role in the Xbox One experience, adding that Microsoft bundled the sensor with the system to ensure all developers and gamers had access to it for every game. He said that Microsoft took a gamble with the new Kinect sensor, noting that it “costs almost as much as the console to make” and “the success of the Kinect carries much more weight” for Microsoft than the Xbox One. He went on to explain that the sensor is an “integral part of the Xbox One experience.” The high cost of manufacturing the Kinect sheds light on the company’s controversial pricing strategy. The Xbox One will be available later this year starting at $499, a $100 premium over Sony’s PlayStation 4.

Battlefield and Kinect on tour !!



Battlefield 4 on Xbox One will support Kinect. This can be read in the latest issue of Game Informer. Karl Magnus Troudsson DICE let us know at the magazine. They are highly motivated with the new possibilities of Kinect to get started.


Rather than consider Kinect as simple bonus, the company that Kinect will add real value to the game. Then the policymaker seems to speak by reporting that Kinect for precision and skill goes against themselves and that Kinect does not fit here.
But before you think that this will affect the normal course of youre game we can tell you that you are not going to held your hands in front of you  to hold you're weapon.
 DICE has emphatically about Kinect functionality and not about motion control. The company believes that you should not immediately pursue all available opportunities with new hardware but rather just use the one that actually adds something to the game.

Qoute developers Dice :
But there are other places where it will make sense, and we are going to use it for other things in the game, but we have not exactly what Announced.
DICE is not exactly telling what the Kinect is planning on Xbox One. Yet And whether the same Kinect functions ultimately to use the Xbox 360 remains to be seen. But where do you hope that the Kinect going to be usefule now and later on in the game? Let me know just below.

Kinect is going to be inovating to ads !!

The Kinect sensor by default is built into every Xbox One will be used for more than just voice and gesture recognition in games. According to a recent interview with the Xbox Live advertising team will be in ads displayed on the Xbox One dashboard. Kinect integrated

"With the Xbox One are both technology Kinect greatly improved," writes an anonymous Xbox Live advertising technical account manager in a recent interview with the website StickTwiddlers. "The voice, how you talk to your Xbox, and the transition between gaming and watching TV are a lot smoother and hopefully we can also process in advertising."

It is unclear how Kinect will be viewing ads, but Microsoft has filed a patent in 2011 that is about. Exactly integrated That patent describes a system in which advertisers' all digital gifts, such as a score or a perk for an avatar, or a voucher of third parties "give in exchange for watching ads or" an action performed by the viewer and by detecting one or more sensors, such as the depth camera ". Sony has a similar patent for camera-based ads for its consoles.

Microsoft has already experimented with his ads with Kinect via NuAds program for the Xbox 360. Those ads encouraged users to speak at the ad or make changes to the commercial or participate. Certain gestures Microsoft showed in January know that 37 percent of viewers participated in the ad, by speaking or making gestures.
When asked whether the Kinect ads do not give too much information about the actions of the user, let the developer know that the advertising advertisers to less Kinect data access, as opposed to game developers who can at all the data. The APIs between game developers and advertising team appear identical. This has the team done in order to protect the user.

Ads on the Xbox One will be integrated into the dashboard, just like the Xbox 360. These ads will be much more inviting than before. "(..) [Users] will get to see. Not something crazy or dangerous on the web Everything there [on the Xbox Dashboard] appears, we have made."
