Xbox One : Thread 04

[Kron]

Didn't realise project spark was out already , is it any good I missed the beta ? And is the conker Dlc up yet ? Cheers

It's currently free to play so it's worth having a play around with it. Some interesting stuff out there already. Ghouls and Ghosts style games, Shmups. It's a really well done construction kit.

Here's some really good tutorials:

Giant Bomb quick look on Killer Instinct Season 2, Lots of great questions answered about this upcoming seasons content:

And one of my favourite games of the year PvZ Garden Warfare is the latest game added to the EA Access vault. Crazy value for what the ?20 a year sub gets you now.

Also Volgarr the Viking has passed certification and should be the latest id@xbox game available soon. It's a fantastic old school hard as nails hack n slash.

Any recommendations on a headset for the bone? 5.1 preferably

[Kron]

What's your budget? The Turtle Beach PX4's seem to be very popular over on reddit.

[kingmonkey]

Hmmmn, the price is probably at the max level i would go to. Are they compatible with the bone though? I see a set, but only for the ps4???

[Family Fry]

For those not in the beta, October update is rolling out now.

Yep 100% compatible.

Legend of Korra is up for preorder on the xbox store. As it's a Platinum game I know it will be a quality effort, but has anyone read anything about how long it is? It's ?11.99 and published by Activision, so I'm expecting it to be 5 hours max.

MKV via DLNA??? Never thought I'd see that. I wonder if that will bring the container any more popularity outside of dodgy downloads.

[Yakumo]

What is DLNA? I stream MKV and other video files from my PC to the one using TV Versity. It's a program hosted on the PC that will let anyother device on the same network stream anything (music, video, images) from the PC. There's no setting up either. My XBOX one instantly found my PC and connects. Pretty handy software really. I use it with my 360, Android phone and tablet too.

[Kron]

DLNA is basically a standarised format for streaming data efficiently over a home network that supports a huge amount of various file types.

A couple of webpages people might not be aware of:

First of all is an immediate price comparison site which always shows the ten best prices from various online stores for buying Xbox One games on disc:

http://xboxpricecheck.com/

And the second is a page that shows the cheapest price for digital games over all of the various countries digital stores:

Plex is now out as well but subscriber only at present. I have to say, it's absolutely bloody awesome. Cannot fault the app at all.

When it finally goes free get it and all your media streaming woes are over. I believe it's also out on 360 as well.

How do you actually watch a film? There's no browser app on the xbone?

Currently with DLNA, I have to find the file on my PC and right click on it / play to xboxOS and then it plays.

I have a paid version of TVersity, but I uninstalled it after I realised it wasn't needed on the Xbox360 which can browse shared folders fine.

Anyone else's update taking forever? talking almost an hour to do 55% so far, speedtested the line and it's fine.
Wish I had started it ages ago while eating dinner instead now

Used to use www.find-game.co.uk a lot in years gone by, don't know how good it is nowadays mind you.

Went in 5 mins for me. It got stuck with 55MB to go for about 60 seconds.
