10% of the GPU (magic graphics box) were set aside for Kinect skeletal tracking etc. Now developers can use that extra power for graphics (frame rate, resolution) if their title does not use Kinect or only uses voice commands.

Decker

Oh, okay. That makes sense. Thanks.

Threes coming to ID@Xbox. Cool.

The Master Chief Collection looks like an amazing package.

Although If I understood it correctly only HALO 2 is being remastered, but all will play at 1080p60fps.

Matthew Chmiel

Yes and no.

Halo: CE, Halo 2, and Halo 4 are technically all running off the same engine as it was built specifically for Halo 4 and what they used to port CE over to the 360. In theory, these three games should look the best on the collection.

Halo 3 is just getting a visual boost to 1080p/60 since the HD assets already exist.

This Arstechnica article suggests that each game will have a unique engine:

Cuphead trailer for those who were intrigued by it during the ID@Xbox presentation:

That was the one indie game that caught my eye.

Just one? I thought there was more interesting stuff in that segment than the rest of the entire presentation.

It was difficult since they only gave like 3 seconds per game. That one stood out the most because of the style.

Hopefully my fellow friends on the XO enjoyed the show. I thought Scalebound looked interesting....

Future Xbox One update will let you snap Achievements and more.

OMG, for the achievement whore in me this is awesome stuff

I'm glad someone is trying to fix achievements.

Microsoft wants people to know they have 9 exclusives by this holiday.



As well as others...

Ori is 1080p/60fps (so you know its fun), and no loading apparently.

Why does the "other" list include all of the titles from the first list?

Music

moar gamez!

Microsoft doesn't know how to use Excel?

Nine Exclusive Games! Assuming you count three Kinect-only titles, a downloadable title, a multiplayer beta and fighting game DLC as "Games".

What's the third Kinect game? I count two.

I wouldn't count betas as full games, but the rest are games (and we don't know the extent of what KI Season 2 contains).

Decker

1) Dance Central Spotlight
2) Project Spark
3) Fantasia

Brack

Project Spark is not a Kinect only game. I don't even know if it even utilizes Kinect.

Decker

Okay, I thought Kinect was required, but it's only optional. Still it's a microtransaction-laden F2P world builder.
I bet Sony has nine F2P games alone coming before the end of the year and every one of them is probably more of a "game" than Project Spark. And I'm not really looking forward to any of them either.

By my count, XO has three exclusive games coming this year : Halo Collection, Forza Horizon 2, Sunset Overdrive. PS4 has three as well : The Last of Us Remastered, DRIVECLUB, LittleBigPlanet 3. That's pretty close to a push. Unless you're into motion-controlled music games - most folks aren't anymore.

If you figure in all the exclusive downloadable titles and F2P crap, I'm pretty sure Sony comes out ahead.

Brack

Guess I'm going to have fun with non games.
