The Xbox One Thread

[Dan]

I am pleased to announce and introduce ReddX for Xbox One. This is a brand new, full featured reddit app that has been built from the ground up and optimized for Xbox One. Starting tomorrow you'll be able to download this free app in the U.S. and Canada.

In fact, I am actually posting this from ReddX

More details and a video on my blog http://majornelson.com/2014/08/18/reddx-reddit-app-xbox-one-available-soon/

That's awesome!

That's actually really cool.

Considering picking up Diablo 3 today as well.. hmm.

[apsham]

Diablo 3 on this generation is friggin' amazing - I feel like this is the way that it was meant to be played.

Also, the Metro Redux set is out today. I'mma looking into that.

[apsham]

I just played 9 straight hours of Diablo 3.

God damn. I never thought that would happen to me with a game ever again.

[thatshortguy]

I still love both console and PC versions, but the console edition of Diablo 3 is a prime example of a developer perfectly mapping controls to a different platform.

[apsham]

While still offering options - the way they've laid out the skills is great as is, but the ability to go in and change that up is also pretty awesome to see and something that sadly, I don't think every company would do.

[thatshortguy]

Reaper's Paragon system helps a bit, but it's still a far cry from Diablo 2's skill tree. That's not to say I dislike the current system, just that it lacks as much customization as earlier iterations.

So, Friday my Xbox One will finally arrive!

So we're getting NFS: Rivals in the EA Access program. Awesome.

[GoGo Yubari]

Hi guys.

Sunset Overdrive is really really fun and it's making me seriously consider this console.

That is all.

[King Ellis]

There was a Sunset Overdrive white Xbox One bundle over here yesterday for £310. Was slightly tempting. The way these bundles have gone from like £350 to 340, to 320 to 310, I'm hoping that if I hold out til Christmas it might get to like 280 or even lower.

[TKz]

Is that the Xbone bundle that doesn't include the Kinect?

And how's it play, GoGo? It's probably the one game that has me interested in the Xbone yet, but the gameplay demos I saw made it look a bit too arcadey.

[King Ellis]

Yeah, no Kinect. CEX used to sell them for £20 but they've whacked them up to 35 after Microsoft announced the separate release for £150. Cheeky beggers.

Which, whilst I probably wouldn't play all the 'arm flailing' games, being able to add on all the voice activated snapping and what not would have been nice for relatively cheap.

[Dan]

Eh, it's worth getting Kinect.

[Dan]

Minecraft drops this Friday. If you've got/played the 360 version you can upgrade for £2.99. You can transfer saves over too.

[apsham]

Well hot and damn. Looks like I know what I'm getting Friday.

[Dan]

Welkom bij Xbox One Lars!

Also, Minecraft is here and NFS: Rivals is now free with EA Access.

Just ordered the limited edition of Destiny:

Super excited for it.

[probablyoliver]

Looks like we'll be getting the Xbone next month as mine and Snowball's joint birthday present. Not sure how interested I am in Destiny, it looks amazing but I've never been a Halo fan and so I'm not sure how much I'll enjoy it. Is there local co-op/multiplayer? I'd be hella more hyped for it if me and Snowball can play together.

We'll definitely be picking up WWE and Sunset Overdrive on release date and hopefully pick up Wolfenstein and Ground Zeroes if they're on the cheap.

I'm pumped. So damn pumped.

[King Ellis]

Rich will be devastated.

[apsham]

Diablo is a great local multi-experience.
