Xbox One ( Solo temas sobre Xbox One )

After getting his Xbox One early due to a shipping mistake by retailer Target, twitter user Moonlightswami is revealing basically every single detail you may want to know about the Xbox One. Interestingly enough, he also shared the video and audio options of the console.
Video:
Resolution: 1080p or 720p
HDMI or DVI
Color Depth: 24 30 or 36 Bits per pixel,
TV RGB limited or PC RGB full
Audio:
HDMI: Stereo uncompressed, 5.1 uncompressed, 7.1 uncompressed, DTS digital surround
Optical: Stereo uncompressed, DTS Digital surround.
Apparently there’s no option for 1080i resolution, so if your TV isn’t full HD but just the old “HD Ready,” you won’t be able to set it manually, unless support gets patched in before or after the official release of the console.
You can also check out a lot of pictures of the dashboard, or the wide variety of gamerpics available for the console, shared by the same source.

Forza Motorsport 5 owes its 1080p visuals and 60 frames a second performance to Microsoft's furnishing Turn 10 with easy access to scalable servers, creative director Dan Greenawalt has told OXM. The ability to tap into Xbox Live Compute has allowed the developer to lavish more time and resources on the game's visuals and complex physics systems; without this advantage, it would have "struggled" to achieve Forza 5's final resolution.

"A lot of it comes down to how easy it is to tap into things like the cloud," Greenawalt told our contributor Richard Wordsworth, when he asked why the game was "only possible on Xbox One", as billed during a recent trailer (below). "But first off, it's a bespoke engine, so the engine will only run on Xbox One. So that's the freebie answer.

"The reason we say that, though, is because we could have done cloud-powered opponents last generation, but we would have had to have done all the infrastructure," he continued. "Now with Xbox One we get servers, we get Azure, we get Thunderhead, and it's so easy to plug into."
Microsoft's Azure server network "allows you to bring a lot of computational power and server bandwidth to bear," Greenawalt explained. "It scales automatically and you don't have to write for it, so it's an instant server. It's basically a technology that allows you to do cloud computing very cheaply and very easily. It just automatically scales for the amount of people.

"That is really easy to hook up to with the [software development kit] for the Xbox One platform, that allows us to focus our resources in coming up with fun and innovative features, rather than making backend infrastructure. That frees up a lot of people.

"So, would [cloud AI] have been possible last generation? Sure. And last generation we could have done 1080p, 60fps. But we wouldn't have been able to do that and the physics we did in Forza 4. So Forza 4 was 720p and 60fps, with the physics we had. Now we're doing things in the physics that requires so much more computational power, we would have struggled to be 720p, 60fps."

Asked to clarify that Turn 10's ready access to the cloud has allowed it to spend more time improving Forza 5's resolution and physics, Greenawalt responded: "Right. And that's what's allowed us to, in three years, have a game that has innovation like Drivatar, looks beautiful as well as having the new things we're doing in physics, like the tyres and suspension."

Turn 10's creative director has previously suggested that next generation innovation is partly about what you can't see - the AI, the physics, and the streamlining of the development practises necessary to create a game like Forza 5. The new racer is apparently the "hardest thing Turn 10 has ever done".

So the question my son had about the Xbox One, and I thought it was pretty goofy at the time, was whether you’d be able to hook up the PlayStation 4 to the Xbox One to play Killzone while taking advantage of the other features that come with the Xbox One. The word on the street was that it was technically possible due to the HDMI input of the Xbox One, but it would introduce significant lag. I asked Microsoft’s Jeff Henshaw if this was possible, and his answer surprised me.

“It is an extremely small lag that the human eye will not be able to perceive,” Henshaw said. So yes, it’s going to be very possible to play the PlayStation 4 using the Xbox One, and the lag, according to Microsoft’s engineer, will be very hard to detect. You could also hook up a Wii U and play the new Mario game, and then use voice commands to put that in the background and switch over to an Xbox One game without changing inputs.

It’s fun to make someone from Microsoft squirm a bit by asking these questions. So I can play games using a competitor’s console while using all these neat Xbox One features? “Um, you could,” Henshaw said, and he pauses the game to think about the answer. “If it puts out HDMI, it’ll work just great.”

In fact, he said, this is the way he and his son play Xbox 360 games at home; they have the system hooked up via the Xbox One so they can have fun with the new UI and still play Xbox 360 games. So he’s not speaking hypothetically, this is a working feature.

So your PlayStation 4 will work just fine through the Xbox One. You can keep your Wii U hooked up through your shiny new Microsoft console to play those first-party games and then take a call via Skype. If you put in an Xbox 360 you’ll be able to see a little Xbox 360 dashboard inside the Xbox One dashboard. Henshaw is mostly comfortable talking about using the Xbox One to drive the Xbox 360, but he admits that anyone else’s console will work.

“You can extrapolate whatever you want! “ he said with a laugh “Whatever you want to hear!”

This is pretty cool, and when both systems arrive it’s going to be an interesting experiment to use the PlayStation 4 UI from within the Xbox One’s UI. What a strange world in which we live.

Legend of Raven, the Nicalis 2D fighter that was originally announced as a PlayStation Vita exclusive, will now also be coming to the Xbox One and the PlayStation 4 digitally; on the PlayStation 4 (and PlayStation Vita), it will be a Cross-Buy title, meaning buying it once will net you access to the game on both the PS4 and the PS Vita.
In addition, the game will also be cross-play on PSN (meaning it will be platform agnostic across both the PlayStation systems); the game is also boasting a new, refreshed interface and UI, an entirely new soundtrack, as well as new, GGPO netcode (meaning online battles with no lag whatsoever).
This is not the first platform change that the title has made- it was originally announced for the Nintendo 3DS, before a switch was announced to the PlayStation Vita due to ‘an overwhelming response from the fighting game community.’
