Wow you can actually watch TV at the same time as you play a game? I thought the whole watch TV joke from E3 was over done but looks like MS want to reenforce it a bit.
[QUOTE=Pnukup;42840984]Wow you can actually watch TV at the same time as you play a game? I thought the whole watch TV joke from E3 was over done but looks like MS want to reenforce it a bit.[/QUOTE] I personally think it's very useful. Maybe I want to play a few rounds of Battlefield while still being able to keep up with the football game? Or continuing a game during a commercial break? I personally think this feature is highly useful.
It's a nice multitasking feature but tbh i'd rather focus on just one thing. Especially since the second screen is so small. If I were interested in sports I'd rather put on the radio coverage since it's more detailed anyways. [editline]12th November 2013[/editline] IMO multitasking isn't needed that much on consoles. I own both PC and PS3 and I think it's very nice turning on my ps3 and knowing i can play without disruption. It's very nice when immersing yourself

I like how as soon as he starts using the feature he starts to suck unfathomable amounts of ass at the actual game.
Eh, I won't use the screen-in-screen feature. Everything else about this is turning out promising, ESPECIALLY being able to switch between things without game loading times
I guess it's neat for console, but on PC I can usually just alt-tab or activate the Steam overlay. I guess it's an easy way of having two things on screen at once without using Windowed modes, but the games I play tend to require too much attention for that. I guess it's handy if you wanna play Tetris while TV ads are running and your speakers are disabled so you can't hear when to tab back?
I like this. It's like the steam overlay except better. I'm so torn between PS4 and Xbox.

[QUOTE=Ruskie;42841540][IMG]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/109107273/Screenshot_1.png[/IMG] 'Playing' while surfing eh?[/QUOTE] Isn't this the built-in feature in case you crash on Forza and want to rewind? Ninja
This'd be handy for farming in an RPG or something too, you could just pin a show to the screen
I like how this is getting the retarded "hate train PC master race PS4" responses such as "Eh PC is already able 2 do this lol why have it on a console?? PS4 can used games xbox just stop ur bad" This is a cool feature and I definitely think it would be usefull
A loading screen for Internet explorer? Well, that's interesting..
Not to mention that PC's aren't the beginning, nor the peak of gaming, they don't need to be mentioned and compared to consoles every time the match a feature.
That's actually extremely cool. A nice surprise coming from the Xbone for a change.
[QUOTE=Helix Snake;42841229]I like how as soon as he starts using the feature he starts to suck unfathomable amounts of ass at the actual game.[/QUOTE] Yeah, though I think the fact that he had to talk over it all the while had something to do with it as well. This isn't something you'd use in the most critical of moments, though, the RPG thing someone mentioned could be a scenario where it'd actually be useful.
[QUOTE=Wafflemonstr;42842678]That's actually extremely cool. A nice surprise coming from the Xbone for a change.[/QUOTE]This was like the first thing announced for the Xbox One where have you been man?
Driving and watching TV is very dangerous, you shouldn't do that.
Meh. It's neat but not something i'd use. Each to their own.
[QUOTE=Papytendo;42843592]This was like the first thing announced for the Xbox One where have you been man?[/QUOTE] I don't think they have ever shown it in action though, or if they did, this is the first time I've seen it.
Little off topic but what's with the car in the game? It looks like it's made out of chrome.

[QUOTE=Primigenes;42844207]Man, you're the fucking fanboy here. all he said is "Its a neat feature but it isn't something I'd personally use, but to each their own." Its not like he said it sucked or that no one should use it but just that it isn't for him. Because maybe some people don't want to watch T.V. and play games at the same time. Like what else do you want him to say? Be happy he isn't outright calling it shit because he has no use for it. I swear you say shit just for the sake of saying shit[/QUOTE] because these kind of statements pop up in literally every thread involving shit people are fanboys of. like, it's a cop-out response when somebody doesn't want to admit that the ~other~ device isn't 100% fucking awful. look at this thread, for example. [url]http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1309334[/url] [editline]12th November 2013[/editline] is it impossible for some of you guys to have a less fanboy approach to these consoles. i wouldn't expect facepunch to care that much considering everyone here is a huge pc gamer

In that case you're wrong. I, as in me only, would have no use for it whether it existed on the ps4/pc or not. I either watch TV or I play video games, I don't do both simultaneously. but I respect everyone does.
