Xbox One to run Audio CD Playback and DLNA Streaming
Microsoft has revealed that the Xbox One is capable of both playing audio CDs and DLNA streaming, two distinct features which distinguish it from PlayStation 4 and possibly gives it an edge over the neck and neck competition between these two rivals of the gaming world. A Sony FAQ published regarding PlayStation 4 published that the PS4 lacked some music-related functionality — virtually, that it can’t play audio CDs or MP3s and lacks a music visualizer and DLNA support. Feedback from gamers about this issue has caused Sony to start “exploring possibilities” regarding this. These issues brought the Penny Arcade Report to ask Microsoft about whether these features are supported on Xbox One. Microsoft replied saying Xbox One will offer audio CD playback and DLNA comp...

Watch Dogs might hamper Xbox One & PS4 sales
“The delayed release of much-hyped open worlder Watch Dogs will take a bite out of next generation console sales.There’s a lot of interconnections between the things you can control in the game and how the story then unfolds, so I can only assume there’s some factor with the incredibly complex open-world gameplay that’s off. But there’s no reason Ubisoft can’t still deliver what they hoped to do with this game.” The game was originally down to release in November, in time for the launch of Xbox One and PS4, but will now see daylight in spring 2014. Ubisoft has also pushed back its next gen open world racer The Crew from mid to late 2014. Discussing both delays in an earnings call, CEO Yves Guillemot insisted that this would help the publisher’...

Xbox One is designed to be on for 10 years straight
The Xbox One design doesn’t really differ much from its predecessor’s. However Microsoft have really pushed the limits on their latest console, while keeping in mind the very important factor of reliability. A reliable source says that the console has been designed to run continuously for 10 years. And not only that, Microsoft have also kept in mind that while this device is designed to run for 10 years, it also needs to run silently enough, so that it is something one could keep in a living room. Its a hard combination to get right, so Microsoft went with a fairly large design which allows better heat dissipation. Although no official specifications have been declared, the Xbox One is approximately 34x26x8cm, which a considerably larger than the 360. Even though we got a prett...

Destiny will allow players to level up using Talent Points, and Bungie acknowledges that it has taken inspiration from fellow open world shooters Far Cry and Borderlands. “We are absolutely doing things that would be familiar if you’ve played any kind of open-world game,” Joe Staten, Creative lead “I mean… Far Cry, even. We would be idiots if we didn’t look at an awesome game like Borderlands and ask, ‘What are they doing well and how can we try to hit that same ball?’ I have never played a game where I have such a great attachment to my gun as I do in Borderlands. “When we look...
