    According to Dell, you will be able to run „all your favorite“ Windows 8 apps on the Xbox One.

    This was mentioned on the console’s listing on Dell’s online store:

    „Consider the game officially changed. With all your favorite Windows 8 apps able to be run on and synced to your Xbox One, now your phone, desktop, tablet and TV can all give you a unified web and entertainment experience.“

    There’s nothing official yet, but back in June, Steve Guggenheimer, corporate vice president of Microsoft’s Developer & Platform Evangelism, said that “if you want to know about how to get a head start about thinking about developing for Xbox One, the logical thing to do is go build Windows 8 applications.”

  • Xbox One ‚Headset Adapter‘ also required for new headsets

    Xbox One ‚Headset Adapter‘ also required for new headsets

    Reading Time: < 1 minute

    Turtle Beach has announced that the Xbox One Headset Adapter for audio headsets will not be ready for the console’s launch, and Microsoft won’t release it until early next year.

    The platform holder has said previously that the adapter will enable the use of current-gen headsets on the new console, however, it will actually be required to use NEW third-party headsets, too!

    As reported by CVG:

    „Turtle Beach expects to launch the XO FOUR and XO SEVEN headsets for the Xbox One console in the first quarter of 2014,“ read the press release. „The Xbox One Headset Adapter, being built by Microsoft and provided to Turtle Beach for inclusion with new gaming headsets, will not be available until early 2014,“ it went on to explain.

    CVG contacted Turtle Beach for clarification on the stipulation that the headset adapters are to be „for inclusion with new gaming headsets“, and not purely for backwards compatibility.

    Turtle Beach corporate communications rep David Lowey confirmed that the Microsoft-produced adapter will indeed be required to use its new Xbox One headsets, and that this adapter will be included in the box with said headsets.

    This seems an unusual approach, since it would have been expected that new headsets designed specifically for Xbox One would simply plug directly into the Xbox One controller’s proprietary data port.

    This does, however, appear to give Microsoft complete control over the production of third-party headsets for Xbox One.

  • Ubisoft was worried that GTA V, Battlefield 4 and Call of Duty would hurt Watch Dogs

    Ubisoft was worried that GTA V, Battlefield 4 and Call of Duty would hurt Watch Dogs

    Reading Time: 2 minutes

    According to Wedbush Securities‘ analyst Michael Pachter, the delay to Watch Dogs from November 2013 to Q2 in 2014 is likely to have been influenced by the crowded release schedule and the huge success of Grand Theft Auto V:

    „We believe that management was also concerned about the strong competition for wallet share Watch Dogs faced at the holidays from Grand Theft Auto V, Battlefield 4, and a new Call of Duty, among others,“ wrote Pachter in a note released yesterday.

    He added: „Grand Theft Auto V is only adding to industry uncertainty, as while it is bringing many previously-disconnected gamers back to the market, it also has achieved record-breaking sales that have tapped a certain percentage of gamer holiday spending months ahead of time.“

    Whatever the reason, he believes Ubisoft made the correct decision:

    „Given next-gen uncertainty and this very strong slate of competitors, we believe the two aforementioned delays were the right decision,“ he wrote.

    He added: „By releasing Watch Dogs in Q1:15, Ubisoft has given its developers the opportunity to fully maximize the game’s sales potential in FY:15 and build a lasting franchise that the company could use to offset any future weakness for its established key franchises (displayed most recently by the disappointing Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell: Blacklist).

    „We are somewhat concerned about competition in Ubisoft’s Q1, however, with games like EA’s Titanfall, Activision’s Destiny and Microsoft’s Halo 5 all targeting the same launch window. We don’t think it is important that Watch Dogs (or any of the other three games) launches in Q1, and we expect all of the game publishers to behave rationally when setting release dates to avoid competition wherever possible.“

  • Wii U has more next-gen 1080p 60fps games than Xbox One and PS4

    Wii U has more next-gen 1080p 60fps games than Xbox One and PS4

    Reading Time: 2 minutes

    Site Gaming Blend published a list of all the -confirmed- native 1080p 60fps titles on ’next-gen‘ consoles and, it looks like the Wii U has more of these than the Xbox One or the PS4(without counting indie titles).

    Just take a look:

    Wii U

    The Wii U has confirmed games to run native 1920x1080p at 60 frames per second: Super Smash Bros. U, Bayonetta 2, Mario Kart 8 and Rayman Legends.

    Super Smash Bros. U was confirmed to run at 1080p, as noted on My Nintendo News. Mario Kart 8 was confirmed to run on the Wii U without a hitch at 60 frames per second when it was unveiled at E3. Bayonetta 2 was labeled 1080p at 60fps via Siliconera, and even if we want to count HD remakes for next-gen such as Wind Waker HD, Digital Trends made it known that the game is 1080p at 60fps. There’s also Rayman Legends, once a Wii U exclusive, that also runs 1080p at 60fps, as noted by Digital Foundry.

    So we have about six next-gen games running 1080p at 60fps for the Wii U, and even if you want to knock off Wind Waker HD as a remake and a game that’s not a real next-gen title, that’s fine. We still have a nice cache of games on the Wii U that are native 1080p to prove its case.

    PS4

    There are only a few games on the PS4’s side that hits 1080p at 60fps, including:

    • KillZone: Shadow Fall = 1920×1080 (MP=60fps, SP=30fps)
    • DriveClub = 1920×1080 (Targeting 60fps)
    • Flower = 1920×1080 (60fps)
    • Resogun = 1920×1080 (60fps)

    Now there’s also Warframe and DC Universe Online that are also 1080p at 60fps, but neither of those are native next-gen games; they’re ports. That would be the equivalent of looking through the Wii U’s eShop and naming all the native 1080p 60fps indie games and Wii ports, and by comparison the Wii U would wipe the floor with the competition in that regard.

    But look at that list for the PlayStation 4… while I love what Sony is doing with the console, we can see that Killzone isn’t native 60fps, but only 60fps in multiplayer with tons of downscaling of the graphics and visual effects.

    We also have DriveClub which may or may not be native 60fps, as it seems as if it’s a bit of a toss-up. There’s also Flower, but again, if we’re counting Flower then we may as well leave Wind Waker HD on the list. That means we have three-and-half games on the PS4 side running 1080p at 60fps.

    Xbox One

    On the Xbox One side it looks even worse. We have…

    • Killer Instinct = 1280×720 (60fps)
    • Forza 5 = 1920×1080 (60fps)
    • Call of Duty: GHOSTS = 1920×1080

    You may as well scratch Call of Duty: Ghosts off that list because it’s also going to be 60fps on the Wii U and PS4. That just leaves us with Killer Instinct and Forza Motorsport 5, granted only one of those games is a next-generation title at native 1080p and 60fps.

    According to the site, this leaves us with the Wii U being more next-gen than its supposed bigger, badder, next-gen competitors.

    Microsoft will offer dedicated servers for all Xbox One games

    Reading Time: 2 minutes

    Microsoft has announced that dedicated servers will be offered for all Xbox One games.

    When asked about this, Senior Xbox director Albert Penello shared the news on Twitter, simply stated „yes“:

     

    1izZ6

     

    Dedicated servers for the Xbox One versions of Call of Duty: Ghosts and Titanfall were previously confirmed.

    New XBOX ONE

    Microsoft also said that not only will dedicated servers allow for a greater number of gamers to play together at once, but players will also notice a generally more „stable experience“…

    „With server-based multiplayer gaming, not only can more players play the game (think hundreds of players simultaneously), the gameplay will be much more reliable for the players,“ Microsoft said.

    „No more host migration interruptions, suboptimal experiences for the host, home network NAT constraints, or player cheating.“

    Additionally, Microsoft will offer cloud services to developers for free, as Xbox Live lead programmer John Bruno announced on the Xbox Wire. „Cloud services will allow developers to offload computations, improve multiplayer gaming with dedicated servers, evolve games with dynamic updates, and improve server availability when a game demands it“.

    Will Sony take a similar stance in the future? So far, Call of Duty: Ghosts and Killzone: Shadowfall will have dedicated servers on the PS4.

    Xbox One Friends app gets detailed inside view

    Xbox LIVE’s Major Nelson offers a quick walkthrough of the Friends app on Xbox One, including never-before-seen features

    Microsoft has just released a new video walkthrough of the Xbox One „Friends“ application.

     

    The video is narrated by Larry ‚Major Nelson‘ Hryb, and showcases the new features of the forthcoming app. Here are the details:

    “You’ll see your feed in the middle, which highlights what your friends are doing, as they do it, updating in real time,” Xbox LIVE’s Major Nelson says in the video. “Off to your right, you’ll see your favorites… And then there’s your party, if you have one active.

    “If we enter ‘My Profile,’ you’ll get a snapshot of your profile in all its glory, including your reputation score there at the bottom. You’ll also be able to check your recent activity, achievements, and uploaded videos. If I head back and choose friends, I’ll get the full list, which I can sort in a variety of ways.

    “If I choose a friends, I’ll see their profile, including the count of their friends, their actual friends list, and how many followers they have. I can also see their recent activity, achievements, and videos.

    “If I add someone to my favorites list, I can quickly access that list. Now this is particularly great if you have a core group of friends who you play with all the time.

    “On Xbox One, you can follow people without being on their friends list. For example, if I’m a huge fan of certain pro gamers or celebrities… I could potentially follow them by adding them to my feed and friends list. Once I follow them, they’ll receive a notification. If they choose, they can follow me back and we’ll both appear on each others friends list. Of course, if that person didn’t want to be followed, they can set their privacy settings to block their profile. Chances are you’ll start seeing people not on your friends list start following you, as well.”
