So I just got an XBox one and I need some advice....

[Dukelorange]

I need some expert help from my TPWW family...

1. I know I can move my game saves from my 360 to the One VIA the cloud. However when WWE 2K14 becomes compatible with the One. Can I move my created stuff as well?

2. So far I've selected Sunset Overdrive, Mortal Kombat X, WWE 2K16, Lego Avengers, and Happy Wars to play on the One as a start. Is there anymore games out there that I should look into?

3. I've gotten a rechargeable battery pack for now. Is there anything else you guys recommend?

4. Is the Avatar Football, Avatar wrestling, Avatar Basketball, etc. games any good?

Thanks in advance...

1) Don't bank on WWE 2k14 being made available ever. It's up to publishers what is/isn't supported

2) Rare Replay for sure. It's like a dollar per game for 30 games. Have you got a PS4? If not, Metal gear Solid V launches next Tuesday so grab that. Other than that, not sure what you're into so can't really say.

3. Nah

4. Oh god no.

I heard you can run the One through either the 360 or your cable box. What are the benefits of it?

[drave]

You can run the 360 and/or cable, PS4 or anything else with a HDMI connection.

Xbox TV integrates with your cable, so it necessitates the use of a single device and input, instead of multiple. Same for 360, PS4, whatever. Though the devices need power still.

[Dukelorange]

So if I plug in my cable box through the One I should be able to watch TV and still play games?

[drave]

Sure, if you use the "snap" feature. The majority of the screen will be one app, while the sidebar area will be your second activity. You can swap which one you want to take up the majority of the space.

Xbox One has two Operating systems inside: One for apps and one for gaming. If you don't use snap, you can still "switch" between the two. If you are in the middle of gaming and want to watch TV, just pause the game, press the "Xbox" button on your controller and launch whatever app you want to use. When you come back to the game, it will still be in the same spot you were when you paused the game.

Sounds like something that I will check out. Can I upload video clips to youtube?

[drave]

Don't think so, but you can save gaming clips to your HDD and upload them for other players to see. You can also use Twitch to stream games and a built-in DVR to record sessions.

Best to leave that kinda transfer/process to a conventional PC/laptop.

2) Rare Replay like Hasney said and Killer Instinct. Dishonored: Definitive Edition and Gears of War: Ultimate Edition if you never played those before.

4) Not really but then again probably best to try out the demos first. Worst case scenario is you wasting a dollar.

You can, but its a two-step process.

1) "xbox record that", or if you dont have kinect, double tap the X emblem on the controller.

2) once the clip is saved, you can load up the Youtube app on the dash, then go to the upload section from there and select the clip

[Dukelorange]

What is the time limit for youtube?

[drave]

5 minutes I think? There are ways around it.

I don't post to YT anymore, not sure how things have changed since they were acquired by Google.

[Dukelorange]

So do you know HOW to get around the YT 5 min mark?

[Dukelorange]

Oh If I use the DVR method. Can I use a USB stick to save and transfer it to my laptop for YT upload?

[DAMN iNATOR]

No, limit is 15 mins. You can increase your limit, however, by verifying your account (https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/71673?hl=en).

I already have a YT account... So I guess I'm good to go. One more crazy question tho...

Because of certain "issues" I sometimes had to use a RCA to Coax adapter to wire my 360 to a TV in another room. Is there such a device that converts HDMI to RCA so I can use that to hook into my RCA adapter.

There are adaptors, but I don't know if they'll work great. Some things need HDCP which is a protection method. so some things might not play.

Just got an Xbox One and need some advice? Take it back and get a PS4. That's all the advice you need.

[Disturbed316]

Dead Rising 3 is a good romp if you like zombie slaying. Batman Arkham Knight, Rare Replay and Titanfall are also worth checking out.

I don't like PS controllers. I like XBox better.

TRUTH.

[alvarado52]

Oh dont be fuckin' fanboys.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Fucking muties.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Oh dont be fuckin' fanboys.

Hey, I own a 360 and barely touched the PS3 I had for the brief time I had it. TBH, though, this time around if I'm ever able to afford one or the other, I've already come to the conclusion that PS4 is more "user-friendly", and as such, is probably sluggtly superior, therefore that would be my purchase.

That's why I'd recommend it over XB1 to any random Joe on the street who asked me, in spite of not owning either current-gen console.

[alvarado52]

Well as someone who owns both a PS4 and XB1, ill tell you right now...theyre the exact same fucking thing in terms of games, save for the exclusives such as Bloodborne or Halo.

And i'll also say youre completely wrong with the whole "user friendly" thing for the PS4. Its straightforward, yes, as is the XB1...but quickly replying to friends messages, joining parties, creating them, or almost any other social aspect of gaming, the One wins that hands down based on how quick and easy those are.

[Wishbone]

Oh dont be fuckin' fanboys.

First off it was a joke and all in good fun so unrustle them jimmies, man. Second, if I was really gonna fanboy it up I'd be shouting "PC MASTER RACE" right now because frankly PC > everything ever, period.

[Wishbone]

Fucking muties.

STD, you really need to learn how to take a joke. You're like this in the wrestling forum too. Lighten up, mang, before you have a stroke or something. :y:

Dunno man...judging from the delays and buggy releases of late, seems PC is becoming a second thought over consoles.

Red Dead Redemption was great, btw.

Well really I meant PC is better in terms of console capability, not necessarily games or support. With max settings and a couple of mods I've made Fallout 3 look like a next gen game on my current rig, and Skyrim is just... Well words can't describe it. Games that are already next gen are even more beautiful, and they all run a bagillion times faster than any console. Oh, and mods alone tip the scale too. I couldn't imagine playing a Bethesda game without them anymore.

Also, yeah Red Dead Redemption was probably one of my top 5 greatest games of all time. Hell I'd say it's probably in the top 3. Cowboys + GTA = $$$$$$$$.
