Did not realize that TitanFall does not have a SP campaign, which I guess is probably a smart move. I'm just kind of disappointed because the whole backdrop of the TitanFall universe seemed like a perfect setting to create a very well written Space Opera with giant robots with guns, but the chances of that actually happening were slim anyway and would probably just wind up as COD in Space.

So when I delete an installed game, I can't see any saved data for it anymore. Is it correct to assume that just stays stored in some sort of fancy xbox cloud forever?

When I go into Manage my installed data for Dead Rising I see the game itself, the addons, and then in a seperate grey snap in looking thing, my saved data. If I select that, I see the options "Delete from console or Delete everywhere". So maybe it defaults to just the delete from console option if you delete the game without managing that seperately? I'm speaking with no authority on this.

I was fairly sure that back around E3 when this was announced, they described something fairly similar to Brink's concept of 'campaign multiplayer', is that not the case? Or at least, what Brink's was pitched and advertised as.

Campaign multiplayer may be interesting. I was excited but now I'm just skeptical. It feels seems like a natural shift from the tutorial to it being the goal but its a very fixed concept of one game type per map and it will always be that game type. I wanted a wide variety of stories depending on map outcomes that drove the story based on results. Those two things may flow together but it seems much more by the numbers one map after another but with a different match ending cut scene or something. We'll see. Also I love those dumb CoD single player campaigns with their set pieces, so there's that to be bummed about.

How is the xbone controller? I've always loved the feel and layout of the xbox controllers and need to buy a new one for my PC. Is it significantly better/worse than the 360 model? Also when is it expected to be released on PC?

Not quite sure where you're getting all that. Construction feels just as solid as the 360's to me, triggers feel the same (not mushy at all), and it took approximately 0 seconds to get used to it. It feels just like I'm using the 360's controller to be honest. In use there is virtually zero difference. BonoMan fucked around with this message at 15:21 on Feb 17, 2014 |

There were a few people in here that felt like it was separating somewhere on the grip somewhere but from what I can tell that isn't widespread. As was mentioned though, the d-pad is fantastic, and I don't really have an issue with the controller as a whole. The d-pad being better makes the whole thing better in my eyes already. But the plastic and the triggers did seem cheapy feeling. EDIT: I'm almost positive I have a day-one edition, so that could be the difference.

The plastic feels a lot like what you get from rapid-printed prototypes, and it wouldn't surprise me if they update their manufacturing processes for future runs. I'm all down for different strokes for different folks but this is just absurd. I just went and compared the two controllers again and, maybe I just got a good one, but they felt really similar in build quality and plastic grade.

They changed the trigger and bumper spacing on the Bone controller a bit so that if you hold it 'deep' it can be difficult to press the bumpers without also pressing the trigger. I've always held it a bit looser, higher on the grips (or lower from my perspective) so that's not a problem from me, but I know from the endless controller debates we've had that not everyone does. Also the joysticks are less springy closer to center than they are on the 360.

I've got two controllers now. Second just came in. I agree on the bumper spacing. Now I press it with the inside of my finger due to trigger depth. The One Controller is lighter than the 360. But both of my controllers disconnect randomly most likely when my phones push for data. One does it much worse than the other. My new controller is also much less sensitive to the right Thumbstick movement so it feels just really loose compared to my in-box one, which is very responsive. No idea what's up but was a bit annoyed with it.

I've heard some complaints from people who had the Day One editions (or otherwise-bought-immediately-at-launch systems) that the controllers felt a bit creaky and cheap, but the controller I got with mine last week feels absolutely rock-solid. Wouldn't exactly be surprising if the initial batch had slightly looser QA to make sure they had sufficient stock for launch. The triggers feel almost identical to the 360 triggers to me (other than the obvious shape differences and presence of the rumble motors), spring tension feels very slightly lower, but otherwise very similar in feel, and a nice (and quiet) slightly rubberized stop at the end of the throw rather than the clacky plastic-on-plastic stop on the 360 (also, so far they don't seem likely to start squeaking like the triggers on all my 360 pads eventually did). When someone says "mushy triggers", I think of the ones on the DS3, which are a goddamn abomination, and the One's are nothing like those at all. The only thing I don't like about it is the glossy plastic around the home button, but that's just because it's a goddamn fingerprint magnet  (also, I keep hitting the menu button instead when trying to go back to the home screen thanks to 8 years of ingrained 360 muscle memory).The major sticking point for some people might be the bumpers - thanks to the way they're hinged, depending on how you hold the pad, you'll either barely notice a difference from the 360 pad (if you hit the bumper at the outer edge with the side of your trigger finger or whatever), or find them completely unusable (if you move your finger over to the bumper and try to hit the inside edge with your fingertip). But as was said, there aren't any PC drivers yet, so it's a non-starter for that use-case anyway right now (although I think they said "early 2014" for the drivers, so hopefully it won't be for too long).

I'm sure there's been discussion of this, but is the 720/1080 thing more of an issue of the GPU (although the PS4's is stronger, both seem capable of doing 1080p yeah?) or allocated resources to the Bone's "media experience?" It's disappointing nonetheless. I hope they get it solved within a year (and that's generous).

Yes. E: It's also a bad initial SDK which supposedly has been replaced. Microsoft still doesn't think 1080p means that much because it's a pretty horrible return for power on TVs. Requiring a lot more in resources to get a resolution that most people can't see the difference in. Frame Rate should be the gold standard and I'd be fine if they just shifted to 720p/60 fps as a goal instead of bothering with 900p and such. 1080p is very important in PC gaming but most people who say it matters in TVs would be hard pressed to visually even see a difference unless they're sporting a giant TV and sitting close to it.

That's the sacrifice you make for having a giant torch glare reflecting on your TV  There's a microusb on the bone controller too but I haven't used it as I'm a part of the eneloop elite. It's good that Ryse has taken the inevitable price drop. I still can't see myself dropping 40 dollars for a digital copy though. I'll go 25 if you're reading Hryb.

It won't get "solved" but the differences should become less as developers get used to the SDK and the different RAM layout on the xbox. There's no way to magically create extra performance out of an inferior GPU/CPU. Best case scenario you're hoping for 900p xbox / 1080p PS4 in the future. Worst case multiplat developers give up on the bone completely or continue to do 720p. Luckily both consoles are cheaper this gen

Average display sizes go up year after year anyway so you can take it as given that appreciation for the visual difference between 720p and 1080p will also rise and with 4k sets on display at major retailers from Best Buy to Sears and Wal-Mart, I'm sure people approaching them to see how good the sets are get some intuitive grasp of the concept that distance is something they should take into account at home. Although I'd expect awareness of something like that to be higher among gamers, anyway. 1080p is a standard feature easily reachable by hardware and MS slipped up. They (or developers) need to fix it, not have people apologize for them.

Hogburto posted:Assuming display size : viewing distance to be higher for PC monitors than TVs makes for an unfair test of the claim that people "can't" see a difference. It's really not, which is evidenced by people buying Insignia sets and not Plasmas in the first place. I'll take a 720p plasma over a 1080p 60hz LED but I can tell you which one sells better. People know nothing about TVs. And there even being a market for 24 inch 1080ps kinda proves it since you'd have to sit basically with your nose on the screen to tell the difference between it and 720p. I say this as someone with a large screen 1080p Plasma and tons of research and setup on it, who is actually annoyed at the whole One being sub-1080p. I'm also an incredibly niche market, and worse I'm the budget end of that market when the valuable parts of it have massive budgets compared to me. One of the best features of the One is the built-in calibration tool for TVs. How many people have run that? Probably not many at all.
