Apparently Thief (One) and Operation Flashpoint: Red Dragon (360) are now free via GWG. And yes, you can play any of the 360 GWG games on your One.

[/sp] I'm thinking of grabbing Forza 6, is it any different than the horizon 2 when it comes to mechanics and such?
[QUOTE=AhoyMate;49367212] I'm thinking of grabbing Forza 6, is it any different than the horizon 2 when it comes to mechanics and such?[/QUOTE] Yeah, pretty drastically. Horizon 2 is open world and is an arcade racing game, whereas Forza 6 is closed circuit and more of a simulator. Its physics are a lot more realistic and it runs at 60FPS with 24 cars per race, as opposed to Horizon 2's 30FPS and 12 (?) cars per race.

Anyone else having problems signing in. None of my achievements or messages are loading. I cant even download killer instinct because of this
It's all good on my end.
Lucky, just won't let me see achievements, messages, and I cant look at apps or download owt. So I don't like playing my Xbox offline because achievements don't unlock straight the way. I know they unlock when I re-connect but sometimes it doesn't for me, it just messes up and doesn't unlock. I hate the new way achievements are. They should of left it like the 360

As we enter into 2016, we want to provide you with an update on Scalebound, the upcoming Xbox One-exclusive action-RPG that lets you fight alongside a fearsome dragon named Thuban. Development on the game is going well and we’re really happy with how it’s coming together. Scalebound is one of the biggest games PlatinumGames has ever created: an epic adventure filled with exploration and fantasy gameplay, inventive multiplayer, and action-packed battles on an unbelievable scale – all set in a beautiful and evolving world. It’s the game our team has always dreamed of making. In order to deliver on our ambitious vision and ensure that Scalebound lives up to expectations, we will be launching the game in 2017. This will give us the time needed to bring to life all the innovative features and thrilling gameplay experiences that we have planned. We know you’re excited to see more and thank you for your patience. Scalebound is a truly special project that’s been several years in the making, and we are very proud and inspired by all the work our team has done so far. We will be sharing more about our vision for Scalebound later this year and can’t wait to give you a closer look at the world of Draconis and the incredible creatures and experiences we’re building.

Tbh I'm hyped for Crackdown and Scalebound the most but I am most likely going to purchase Quantum Break aswell.
I'm really just excited for Quantum Break. Scalebound looks interesting but it probably isn't for me. Also what did I miss with Crackdown 3? Is it multiplayer only now or what?
Nah it's the MP mode coming out first, and the story mode later on. I geniunely hope that it'll be a decent game. I've been craving for a new urban-themed tps game since Dave's APB. Well they haven't shown anything Scalebound related (except the laggy gameplay that they showed during gamescom) so I feel ya.
Anyone having problems with Xbox live?
Everything's fine on my end again other than some asshat teammates I got on Halo.
Cheers, must be something in the UK. I've lost about 6 hours of gameplay on fallout 4 :(
What's the issue? Just not connecting or..?
Since I'm pretty much addicted to halo now I'm trying to decide whether I should get an elite controller/scuf or not.
Anyone here playing Halo Reach on XBOX BC?
Most of us are active on Halo 5 I believe.

so i posted on reddit about how the fact that system updates completely stop you from doing anything on your console online, whereas with PS4 and Steam you can download system updates in the BG no problem... am i fucking crazy or is everyone on reddit wrong? i'm getting downvoted to hell and back on there.. and people not reading the op correctly or giving smartass replies doesn't help either they said 'It's called instant-on' which doesn't even solve the issue because if a update is downloading and not finished, I turn on my xbox, I still can't do anything online. here's the reddit link in question: [url]https://www.reddit.com/r/xboxone/comments/42akpw/steam_and_ps4_can_download_system_updates_in_the/[/url]
Reddit is always wrong, those subreddits for specific things always have idiots that freak out at anyone that tries to criticize something that they like.
Oh so that was you lol. I'm one of the regulars of that sub so it's safe to say that people over there can be assholes at times. They probably thought you were trying to bash the console or something.
I doubt it, but does anyone know when I can preorder a digital copy of Overwatch?
Doesn't look like it's available digitally on Xbox One yet. Looks you'll have to wait to get closer to launch.

[QUOTE=Maddog's Here;49619880]If I uninstall a game on ny xbone. Will I lose my saved data too? Need some more memory[/QUOTE] It asks if you want to delete everything or something along the lines of that so just click no or click delete the game only

I have an interesting issue. When my X-Box is fully on, it only downloads at 1-3 Megabits/s But when it is in low power mode, it downloads a lot faster. For example I got Halo 5 for Christmas, I went to download it, the % didn't move an inch for an hour, went to network settings it was downloading at 1-3 Megabits. I turned it off and then came back around 10 minutes later and the % had gone way up. I watch again for 10 minutes it doesn't move at all, check my usage and again it is jumping back and forth form 1-3 Megabits I have it on a physical LAN line. Should be getting at least 90-100 Megabits
A friend of mine had the same issue a few months back. I'll let ask him and holler at you.
Does anyone else have problems with input lag in specific games? Most of my Xbone games play fine, but Dead Rising 3, Rise of the Tomb Raider, and a lot of the backwards compatible 360 games all have awful input lag. I can't find anyone else who has the same problem, so there doesn't seem to be any kind of solution. The TV is already set to Game mode, I've fiddled with the audio and video options for both the TV and the Xbone, and I've replaced the HDMI cord. Nothing seems to work.
