No, just the consoles system language...

Actually it may even be US you have to put it to for it to work, UK might still not be working right....

No

On the one I've been using the last month, you just change the language in the initial setup to English US and it does work with a signed in Irish GT...

That may change when it hits retail but what I saw that's how we got Kinect working...

According to posters Neogaf it is tied to your marketplace, so it does not look like there is away around it.

Did anyone hear if there was going to be a chat pad for the new controller? I know you can use a usb keyboard but thats hardly the same really.

Dont know but the new Xbox One Smartglass app is out on ios, android and windows. It's lighting fast so I can see myself using this app on my phone and tablet for messages rather than a clunky chat pad on the controller.

On the beta machines we use there is, but that function could well change, it hadn't as of last week afaik...

You also have to DL a media update to play BR movies, it does not do it out of the box, its only bout 20mb though...

You have a go on fifa 14 on it? Is it much improved on the 360 version?

Nah,

Ain't tried Fifa as of yet...

There is a good PS3/PS4 comparison on YT have a look, should be similar to 360/One version....

Just Forza and KI I had a go of really, Ryse, some kid game and DR3 came in the other day, didn't get a go of any of them ...(yet)

Oddly enough when you open the game case, the disc holder part is on the left side instead of the "normal" right side, and they are skinny cases, skinnier than a br movie box, we had been using downloaded titles up til the other day....

Royal Irish · 20-11-2013 2:02pm

I played a few games of Fifa 14 on the Xbox One and graphically it was a massive improvement on Fifa 13 on the 360.

kaimera · 20-11-2013 2:22pm

forza5 is nice...very nice; coming from f3 (didnt get f4/horizon) it's impressive and drives very well.

pros will want to up the levels and with assists off, the brz was a bit of a handful for me!

controller is very very nice; ff thru the triggers is very good in forza.

ryse, very smooth to play but might get boring

Yo Mamma · 20-11-2013 2:26pm

Did I read somewhere that I can pick one up in Tesco on launch day ?
or is that just in the UK / Rumor ?

Anybody hear this ?

maximoose · 20-11-2013 2:33pm

It's true - but they have limited numbers and you won't be the only one looking. Approx 15 consoles going to each of the Tesco Extra stores.

Early queuing necessary I'd imagine!

drunkmonkey · 20-11-2013 2:36pm

Is the Ryse review out today or tomorrow? I'm worried it's going to be terrible.

Tomorrow.

It has been flagged for ages that it is probably going to be a poor game. If it gets 6 or over I'll be pleasantly surprised.

ShiverinEskimo · 20-11-2013 2:46pm

Not hard to see the reasons for the embargoes. Mediocre games long-pre-ordered reviewed with shít scores arguably too late to change your pre-order.

Xenji · 20-11-2013 2:54pm

They are already in the wild

across the board , looks like its the one to get

Xenji · 20-11-2013 3:12pm

Quite a few of the reviews are citing a lack of content in the game, with tracks like Maple Valley being dropped and Suzuka and Nurburgring being cut down in size, otherwise it all seems to be positive.

edit - Micro Transactions are irking some reviewers

Is there any difference between playing a downloaded game and one installed from disc?
Like are the startup times the same, can you do all the snap stuff as fast or does it keep spinning up the disc?

Polygon has xbox one review and in it they said Ryse looks good but it's boring - gives you some idea

Xenji · 20-11-2013 3:16pm

EGM is after giving Forza a 6.5/10 http://www.egmnow.com/articles/reviews/egm-review-forza-motorsport-5/# their comments section should be interesting later.

There seems to be a fair oul whack of 'content held back for DLC' off of it.

Yeah it seems that way.

This is taken from Eurogamer

All that's left is the grind, and it's not a particularly pleasant one. Unlike previous outings, cars don't unlock upon levelling up. Everything must be bought in Forza Motorsport 5, and all transactions take place in a slightly misshapen economy. A series will, on average, net the player in excess of 110,000 credits for just under an hour's effort - but with some of the premium racecars costing well over a million, it's a somewhat brutal grind. Good job, then, that there are tokens purchasable on the Xbox One's marketplace for you to attain the car you're after, or to temporarily boost the rate at which you gain XP.

When you've already paid £429.99 for a new console, £44.99 for the game and maybe even £349.99 for the only steering wheel that the game supports at launch, such tricks appear a little unsavoury, and in Forza 5, mechanics greedily smuggled from free-to-play games trample over the elegant RPG elements the series once embraced so effectively.

I think I read somewhere (in an early preview, or something about the season pass) that a lot of cars are locked, game has microtransactions.
I could be completely wrong tho.
