There was an Xbox survey that asked if people got a free download of Alan Wake, would they preorder Quantum Break.

I'm wondering if Gears would be given free if you preordered the new gears?

If Gears 5 was due this year and the remaster was ready now, I could see that working out nicely. As is, I think 5 is a way off so it would be pretty risky to make an offer like that when 5's release could be significantly delayed.

I'd welcome it though. Not sure I'm bothered about the remaster but I'm interested in 5 so I'd go for it.

It's such a good console and it's nice that people are beginning to recognise that. After a launch that alienated a lot of people, it's good to see some of those are warming to it at last. There'll always be a handful of idiots who are dead against it though, but that's their loss.

Not that winning the sales battle should really matter anyway. It's selling healthily and has got a good install base, so as long as the games keep coming and they keep pushing the console on with their regular updates there's nothing to worry about.

I love my Xbox one. Sure, the PS4 is more powerful, but I have no want to get one. I've had one, and I got rid of it after months of no use.

90% of my friends play the xbox versions of Multi-platform games. And there are no exclusive games on the PS4 that I am interested in. Off the top of my head on xbox we have, Halo 5, Forza 6, Elite Dangerous (I know this is timed, but still), Gears of War (both remasterand sequel), Quantum Break, Cuphead (I think that's exclusive).

There was a test in VMC recently that played this. That's where the leak came from. Unfortunately I wasn't part of it, first I knew was when it went public the other day. The leakers got fucked. We have had other games leaked, and got in big trouble for it, but this one was the worst as it's a microsoft title. We all got this email:

In the light of recent events, we’d like to bring a situation to the community’s attention in attempts to strengthened everyone’s awareness and vigilance regarding the NDA which binds every single one of you to VMC.

Recently, multiple leaks were perpetrated by several GBTN community members. In one case, a member who was participating in that test shared a screenshot on Snapchat with their friend, who wasn’t part of the project, but tricked his friend by saying he didn’t believe him when he said they were working on the same project. Upon reception of the screenshot, the friend who received the Snapchat leaked it online, betraying his friend as well as his NDA with VMC Games. While the tester who first took the screenshot didn’t think he was doing anything bad, he was still going against the NDA, and was part of the cause why the information got leaked. Because of this, both members were permanently removed from the community and addressed to our legal department, as per the terms of the NDA.

Now, new wording is about to reach the community regarding this particular event. The nature of the leak having had occurred through Xbox One, actually also went against the Microsoft EULA, which is agreed upon when creating an Xbox LIVE account, or any other type of Microsoft account. This being said, as per that agreement with the testers in fault, Microsoft also permanently disabled their Xbox LIVE accounts (as well as other suspected accounts present on their Xbox One kits) and temporarily blocked all of their Xbox One privileges – meaning that for a period of time which Microsoft decides on depending on the severity of the offense, their Xbox One is entirely unusable.

The reason behind the Non-Disclosure Agreement is not only to protect our clients and our program, but also our community, and to make each and every single one of you aware of the severity of revealing confidential information which you’re entrusted with. One screenshot, message or even conversation shared with someone else can easily snowball into a situation that goes out of control, and not only penalize the offender as well as anyone else directly involved, but sometimes far beyond that. In certain cases, there were consequences which had affected people which had no malicious intentions but ended up entwined within the legal case - we’re fully aware that this also targeted very faithful, hard workers who had been with us from the start, and this situation crippled the entire community. We do not want to go that way ever again and are constantly in search of better solutions to single out perpetrators before too much is at risk. The community itself is growing stronger, and often times leaks are reported by community members to us – and we’re extremely thankful for that as it not only speeds up investigations drastically, but also shows us that this community is tightly knit and merely contains a few bad apples, who unfortunately ruin the experience for too many participants already.

We would like to take this opportunity to remind everyone that this is a community. Your actions and behavior reflect on each other as well as on us, and acting selfishly has the potential to ruin the experience to everyone. Please be mindful of others throughout your actions.

Microsoft have not only banned them from xbox live, but have also disabled their Xbox One consoles.

What's VMC?
It's just like the original Xbox 1 with a redesigned controller :)

It's a company that organises home testing.

You get a voucher for a game download, download an Alpha build, do repetitive things at a set time and then fill out a report.

Seems like the Gears tests have been the best, since you actually get to play online rather than just repeatedly invite people to parties, quit and start over, which is one of my experiences.

I think that bit about their consoles being bricked turned out not to be true. They were just banned from Xbox Live; the thing about their consoles being disabled entirely was VMC getting carried away.

I hope it's got paddle buttons, I'd like to try that but don't want to pay the crazy (though I imagine the cost is partly driven by smaller production runs) Scuf price.

You're covered ;) it'll be good for Halo4 would be good to put the Jetpac there.

I've been in a few where you just play. Some earlier than others in development.
