I'd say that makes sense. Microsoft own Skype anyway, why bother putting something together when you have already paid for a product that achieves the same thing?

Because cross game chat has been on xbox live forever?

Skype would be more like ability to recieve calls or something, which would be a totally different category.

  • Like 1

1. "Between" is mispelled in "Shared Betwen all household members".

2. Also the shared game library for Xbox One is not just household members but anyone on your designated shared list (one person per game, up to 10) which could be friends or family 1000 miles away.

3. And I think Final Fantasy XV is a PS4 exclusive also.

4. Diablo III should be multi-platform as already stated.

Other then that, nice list.

And, there are a couple of things mission from the list.

Xbox One

  • Supports external HDDs
  • Netflix and other streaming services continue to require Live Gold membership

PS4

  • HDD is user-replaceable/upgradable.
  • PSN+ also includes cloud saves
  • PSN+ can also be shared among household members
  • Paid streaming services, like Netflix, do not require PSN+

Woah, really (the one in bold)? I haven't seen that mentioned anywhere, and after some Googling it seems as though this has been in effect since it came out?

Missing the game share on XB1 side (without sharing primary account which is not practical for people like me).

I believe it's one PSN+ per console (same as XB1).

So you want them to offer cross-game chat, and then offer a Skype application separately? It seems a bit pointless to me, but fair enough.

Maybe I'm just misunderstanding you...

I mean, Xbox Live has had Cross game chat for a while, it's part of the platform (you can join groups and each person can be in a different game). In the other hand, Skype in Xbox One is something that comes like an overlay (or something), that works in the background (like the group chat, but it's an entirely different application). You can receive calls (or make them) while playing a game, and this is a different feature than the group chat offered by Xbox Live.

Are you saying this or something else?

EDIT: I kinda get you... you are saying that they are ditching the group chat feature for Skype. has there been any confirmation of this or it just seems logical?

That is a crap load of games. I guess I should get around to playing some of the massive backlog that I have before buying a ton more.

I get you... I should stop playing the same games over and over...

I think they mentioned as such during reveal: XB1 is the only device where skype group chat is free(as in requires Gold :p).

It's not.

I do believe Minecraft should be at least under XO/PC since it's not going to be the same version as the 360 one.

My mistake, just found some sources stating its not a PS4 exclusive, thanks for the catch. Final Fantasy XV was one reason I'd want the PS4 over the Xbox One, but I'm leaning toward the Xbox One even more now.

Missing a lot of into on the 360 controller, including the headphone jack and the IR thing use by the kinect. They're also listing early access to betas for PSN+ but not for XBL.

^ Ahh gotcha!

The whole voice chat on Live is being replaced with skype.

And PS+ will continue to give free games. Drive Club already having been announced as free at launch for PS+.

Microsoft hasn't officially announced (that I've seen) that X1 will get free games through XBLGold, only that 360 users will get them up until launch (and since those aren't backwards compatible, that shouldn't be listed under XBL until announced).

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • UK to ban under-16s from social media following a six-week trial with teenagers by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels A few months ago, Neowin reported that the UK was trialing a social media ban with 300 teenagers for six weeks, that testing has come to an end, and Prime Minister Keir Starmer has announced that the country will ban under-16s from social media. Starmer said that this technology is making children unhappy and making it easier for bullies to harass and abuse them. He continued to talk about the addictive nature of social media, saying that it uses an infinite scroll designed to lock users in for hours. He said this interferes with children doing their homework, reading, playing with friends outside, and going to bed on time. Tackling the idea that nothing can be done about social media, Starmer said: The government’s action won’t stop at social media either, the PM said. It plans to take action on gaming services and livestreaming platforms. Right now, he said, strangers can contact any child unchecked. He said this wouldn’t happen in real life, and the government is going to stop it from happening online, too. The Labour government has overseen the introduction of the Online Safety Act, a big change to the internet which includes age verification on adult websites. This has led to a fair bit of backlash, but overall, the government is pushing ahead with these changes.

    • HONOR Robot Phone unveils first Cinematic Video at Shanghai International Film Festival by Steven Parker Global AI device ecosystem company HONOR announced on June 13 that its revolutionary HONOR Robot Phone made its professional imaging debut at the 28th Shanghai International Film Festival (SIFF), demonstrating the result of its mobile videography capabilities for the first time. As the official mobile photography and videography partner of the 28th Shanghai International Film Festival, HONOR empowers this premier cinematic event with cutting-edge mobile imaging technology. Marking the global debut of the first cinematic video it captured, Robot Phone breaks down the boundaries between mobile imaging and professional filmmaking, ushering in a new paradigm for the deep integration of technology and cinematic art. In the video published on HONOR’s official channel (above), Robot Phone was used byELLEMEN to capture cinematic video portraits for the SIFF jury members. With its exceptional stability and cinema-grade imaging capabilities, the device redefines the art of portrait filmmaking, faithfully reproducing the rich tonal gradations and nuanced color transitions associated with film photography. The result is a new level of visual sophistication, creating high-end cinematic imagery that seamlessly blends atmosphere with narrative tension. The video released for the Robot Phone showcases the powerful stabilization capabilities of its built-in gimbal system, delivering exceptionally smooth handheld camera movement while preserving full image quality. By minimizing reliance on electronic image stabilization, the device effectively avoids the image cropping and quality loss typically associated with digital stabilization methods. Representing an innovative leap in form factor, the HONOR Robot Phone features the industry's smallest titanium alloy gimbal, delivering ultra-precision, extreme flexibility, and superior stability. Driven by high-performance motors, the gimbal rises dynamically, breaking free from the physical limitations of traditional camera modules. Combined with advanced AI algorithms that enable intelligent object tracking and various movements with stable shots, the device significantly simplifies video creation and reshapes both the equipment choices and creative habits of modern users. Notably, the Robot Phone will be the first product that features the results of HONOR's strategic technological partnership with ARRI, the world-renowned designer and manufacturer of professional camera technology for cinematic storytelling. From Cannes to Shanghai, the HONOR Robot Phone continues to lead the mobile imaging industry into an entirely new stage of development. Moving forward, HONOR will leverage cutting-edge AI and mobile imaging technologies to unlock new creative possibilities and extend cinematic standards for visual expression from the world of high-end filmmaking to the next generation of content creators.

    • I'll wait for the root cause analysis. Looks like it's HP, Lenova, and certain configurations that are askew, hardly "all of windows." Time will tell.
