BY LUKE KARMALIMicrosoft has rolled out a mini firmware update to users in the Xbox One preview programme, offering small tweaks to both party chat and the system update feature.
Version 1405 now causes the "Get System Update" button to be greyed-out when no patch is available, while it'll read "Update Console" if your system software isn't up to date.
Other issues addressed include one where Party Chat was muted if you failed to snap the app, alongside another where Game DVR clips occasionally recorded without audio.
This marks the second firmware update in two weeks, and is indicative of Microsoft's reasserted commitment to upping the pace of its updates. Usually there's now one large one each month, with smaller sets of fixes available to test more regularly if you're picked out of those opted into the Xbox One preview programme.
New features for the next big patch will likely be revealed shortly. One of the ones Microsoft fans have repeatedly asked for and the company has said its keen to introduce centers on the ability to pre-load and install games ahead of release, so you can play as soon as the street date hits.

Aunque esto ya lo dijo hace tiempo algún "pez gordo" que no recuerdo exactamente ahora, que al final "se quedarán solo unos pocos" porque el presupuesto que se alcanza para el desarrollo es tan alto que no todos podrán alcanzarlo.

Es normal. En parte por la dificultad de hacer un "Triple A" en un hardware nuevo y en parte por lo puñetero que se ha vuelto el publico, como no llegue a 1080p/60fps ya puedes ir abriendo el paraguas porque te van a llover las criticas
Se podrá convertir un juego que utilice Direct X de Windows 8 a Xbox One en uno o dos días. Lo ha dicho Boyd Multerer, Director de Desarrollo de Xbox, en una entrevista concedida a la revista Total Xbox.
En Xbox One es "definitivamente más fácil desarrollar", declaró Multerer. "Hemos pasado mucho tiempo asegurándonos de que, si sabes cómo escribir un juego en Direct X en Windows, ya sepas cómo escribir un juego en Xbox One, y los juegos que se hacen para Windows 8 que utilicen Direct X se pueden convertir muy rápidamente a Xbox One. A menudo en un día, quizás dos. Sí, tienes que adaptarte a las características especiales de [Xbox One] pero básicamente ya sabes cómo hacerlo, si has desarrollado para Windows."
Por otro lado, Multerer aseguró que los desarrolladores independientes "van a encontrar en Xbox One una fantástica plataforma. Estuve en XNA y me preocupo tremendamente por los indies y, mientras diseñábamos la Xbox One, uno de mis objetivos fue introducir soporte esencial para desarrolladores independientes en el sistema operativo."
La responsable de los contenidos audiovisuales de Xbox, Nancy Tellem, ha explicado en una entrevista que la programación que está en camino para Xbox One "no distraerá a los jugadores", sino que se integrará perfectamente en la consola a partir de junio.
"Estamos prestando especial atención para que lo que ofrecemos al público no sea una distracción", explica Tellen en esta entrevista, donde añade que los contenidos serán "respetuosos" con los suscriptores de Xbox LIVE.
Uno de los primeros contenidos que se mostrará será el documental sobre los cartuchos de E. T. de Atari enterrados en el desierto de Alamogordo, en Nuevo México, EE. UU. También se trabaja en una serie de Halo producida por Steven Spielberg.
"Creo que mucha gente en Hollywood todavía no entiende lo rico que es el videojuego como formato para cotar historias. Tampoco entienden los valores de producciónd e los juegos y el crecimiento que está viviendo la industria", añade la ejecutiva de Microsoft.
El pack de pistola, arma cuerpo a cuerpo y traje exclusivos que incluye la Edición Day One de “Sunset Overdrive” es el complemento perfecto para los jugadores que quieran luchar hasta el final de los tiempos, y hacerlo con estilo. La Edición Day One de “Sunset Overdrive” incluye los siguientes contenidos, que no encontrarás en ningún otro sitio:
Arma “Nothin’ but the Hits”: Una versión sobrecargada de la pistola de alta fidelidad con unos vinilos edición limitada de múltiples colores e incalculable valor, que incrementan el daño.
Traje“It’s Me! Fizzie!”: Disfrázate de Fizzie y hazte con un poco de su fama.
Arma “Hardcore! Hammer”: Con la Edición Day One, prepárate para crear y utilizar un poderoso martillo hecho con unas pesas y un murciélago.

Eso si, para algunos no será muy positiva:
Mass Effect se cae del E3
Tras una semana con bastante actividad en torno a Mass Effect, parece que las especulaciones que aseguraban su presencia en el E3 no se cumplirán.Un jarro de agua fría para los fans de Mass Effect que han visto como todas las informaciones referidas a la presencia de este nuevo título de Bioware en el E3 desaparecen tras la publicación de unas declaraciones que desmienten su presencia. El responsable del proyecto, Yanick Roy, ha sido el encargado de calmar el exceso de optimismo que aseguraba su presencia en el evento que se celebrará el próximo mes de Junio en Los Angeles, confirmando que el nuevo Mass Effect no estará presente en dicho evento.
Tras haber asegurado que el proyecto va por buen camino, Roy cree que es pronto para desvelarlo públicamente. Con esto, las buenas noticias que parecían encaminar el producto a un estado avanzado, parece no serlo tanto. Tras aparecer para desmentir que el nuevo proyecto vaya a recibir el nombre de Mass Effect Contact, asegurando que mantienen por ahora el nombre de proyecto inicial, las informaciones habían terminado por asegurar su presencia en el E3, algo que, dada la interacción de Roy, no será posible.
Refiriéndose al título, no se ha querido pronunciar sobre la naturaleza de la historia que abordarán en esta nueva entrega, dejando abierta cualquier puerta que pudiera tratar tanto una precuela como una historia paralela a los acontecimientos acontecidos en la trilogía original. Cuanto menos, el proyecto vinculado a la licencia Mass Effect oscurece su futuro, no obstante, parece que queda largo tiempo de espera para ser desvelado, su lanzamiento, totalmente descartado para 2014, bien podía estar apurando sus opciones de ver la luz el año que viene.
Habrá que ser pacientes.

En teoría cuanto más dure el desarrollo mejor para la calidad del juego por un lado y más aprovechamiento se hará de las nuevas máquinas por el otro lado.
Precisamente la semana pasada empecé a jugar al Mass Effect 3 que lo tenía comprado desde hace tiempo pero lo tenía hasta sin desprecintar y por ahora lo estoy disfrutando tanto como sus antecesores. Creo que crear una trama con unos personajes carismáticos como la trilogía original lleva su tiempo, prefiero esperar más por un juego bien hecho.

Es que, esa es la cosa....que me extraña que teniendo la opción de grabar video no hayan incorporado un modo foto, que en teoría es más fácil. A mi si me gusta, y no, no lo hecho de menos, pero me gustaría poder echar una foto en un momento determinado en un juego.

Capcom es una de esas afectadas. que o tira de proyectos titánicos financiados en exclusiva por otras compañías a cambio de la exclusiva en su consola, o solo puede dedicarse a hacer remakes.

Rezad conmigo:
"Que no salgan productores, que no salgan productores, que no salgan productores, que no salgan productores, que no salgan productores..." me flagelo si hace falta.
Para vomitarnos un RE tras otro a cada cual más shooter que se lo metan por el ojete.
En cambio esa 2ª opción es muy tentadora, el SF4 es una maravilla, como se nota la mano. Si se ponen a rescatar juegos de PM, y anda que no tienen donde pillar, imagina King of Dragons, Captain Commando, Armored Warriors... el regreso de Megaman X (aparte del no oficial Mighty No. 9) que el X4 de 32-bit es una auténtica JOYA.
Solo de pensarlo me pongo cachondo jeje
E3 is a time of continual surprise, of shock and agitation so extreme that your heart threatens to judder up your throat, out of your mouth and onto your head, like a cat trying to escape a bath. Unless, that is, some miserable blaggard spoils all the major reveals for you in advance.
But what kind of man would stoop so low as to deny you the thrill of hearing about a game, platform feature or similar for the very first time at a press conference, as the gods intended? Answer: a man like me. Here are seven earnest and modestly well-informed suppositions about Microsoft's E3 2014 presser, ranging from the obvious to the... less obvious. It's possible, of course, that there are other things on the way that I'm not allowed to tell you about yet. Hedge those bets accordingly, and if you have any other spoilers to share, sing out in the comments thread.
1. Microsoft will go nuts about Halo!
Last year's shabbily dressed teaser was but the snowball that starts the avalanche. A hefty proportion of E3 video time will undoubtedly consist of actual, in-game footage of Master Chief rocking Xbox One's socks off; you can expect a release date, too, and some extended thoughts about both single and multiplayer from developer 343 Industries. But will Xbox One's first Halo game be the quasi-mythical Halo 5, which appears to involve a "mysterious data chip" and "a Herculean effort to stay alive in a galaxy where sentient life is mercilessly hunted", or the hotly rumoured Halo 2: Anniversary, which is said to grant access to a Halo 5 beta? Given that the originator of that particular rumour has been proven right on other counts, and that Head of Xbox Phil Spencer has chosen not to deny it, I'm going to assume the latter.
2. We'll finally hear about Games with Gold for Xbox One!
According to Microsoft's PR boss Major Nelson, "details" of the Games with Gold program's transition Xbox One will arrive this year. E3 2014 is the obvious date - there should be enough in the way of Xbox One titles on the shop to give some of them away by then, and it's possible that Microsoft will make certain smaller-scale indie games available for free straight out the door, after the example of Contrast on PS4. The firm will probably want to talk up Games with Gold on Xbox 360, too. Spencer has hinted that there may be further adjustments to the program - Microsoft is apparently "playing a more active role in picking franchises that show up in Games with Gold".
3. Brace for Japanoclusive!
The Xbox One will launch in Japan on 4th September, so now would be a very good time to start bigging up any hypothetical exclusive games or services that hail from/are aimed at the region. Exclusive games like the one Phil Spencer keeps talking about, which could be a Phantom Dust reboot. Or a new game from Platinum, developer of Bayonetta, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance and Vanquish. The latter studio's Hideki Kamiya wasn't impressed by speculation on this front earlier in the year, but what does he have to say for himself now? Let's find out.
4. A new kind of Xbox One!
With the holiday season bearing down on them, all three big console manufacturers will have new versions of their hardware lined up and ready to go. The safest bet for Xbox One is a new colour scheme, like the ivory-white console that has hitherto been the exclusive property of Microsoft employees. It's likely that there will be game-themed consoles or bundles to show off - a Halo edition console would be a no-brainer, as might a Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare-themed One. At the riskier end of the prediction spectrum, we've heard talk of a brand new model of Xbox One - a smaller "lite" Xbox One, after the example of the Xbox 360 Slim, or a discounted Xbox One that's shy a disc drive. Microsoft is said to have considered manufacturing a disc-less Xbox One as late as last summer. Perhaps the idea deserves a second glance?
5. First proper Fable Legends gameplay and Lionhead's new IP reveal!
Lionhead has now washed its hands of Fable Anniversary, though there's the possibility of an Xbox One version to consider; next up is Fable Legends, which looks very presentable in the most recent screenshots. The game first came to light last August, and is an asymmetrical, adversarial co-op experience in which up to four players try to complete a quest as Heroes while a fifth, Villain player or AI character places enemies and hazards. It's an exotic departure for the franchise that's probably easier to demonstrate than describe - and I'm confident that Microsoft will do exactly that at E3. It'll also release a concept trailer for Lionhead's Other Game, which apparently doesn't have anything to do with Fable, and can thus safely be shown off without stealing any of the latter's limelight.
6. Another Rare reboot!
There are several possibilities on this front, and they're all rather exciting. Well, except for the one about Rare making another Kinect Sports title, which is probably inevitable, though the developer may prefer to expand and build on Kinect Sports Rivals via new content "seasons" for the moment. Rare clearly has other and bigger fish to fry, however - as Aoife noted during a recent press trip, three of the developer's four converted office-barns are presently given over to super-secret somethings, and Rare bigwigs have told us that they have ideas for how various (strictly hypothetical) Banjo, Perfect Dark and Viva Pinata games might use the Xbox One's Kinect sensor. Microsoft is eager to bring back old Xbox IPs, as Double Helix's well-regarded Killer Instinct reboot demonstrates. Allow me to sound a note of caution, before you allow your imagination to run rampant - Rare has insisted that it will never bring back a franchise for the sake of "prettier graphics" alone.
7. Forza: Deep South!
A new Forza game will launch this year, according to an indiscreet car manufacturer. It's unlikely that Turn 10 will be able to put together a new numbered Forza in a year, particularly in light of complaints about the number of cars and tracks available in Forza 5; the new Forza is all but certain to be a sequel to Forza Horizon, subtitled "Deep South" (hit that link for alleged "concept art") and set amid equatorial swampland. As of last August, Horizon developer Playground was "working on an exciting unannounced title for Xbox One". Methinks I hear the sound of vrooming from behind a locked office door.
It's a list - add to it. Other possibilities include: new Quantum Break gameplay and a release date; a multiplayer reveal for Sunset Overdrive; a tech demo for the new, untitled Gears of War; and (very probably) a bunch of exclusive DLC announcements for Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare.
