Castle Crashers is showing now - I thought it was US only first then other regions to follow? It has that "unavailable" thing where the install option should be but I expect it'll be updated by this afternoon.

[Petrousgyre]

Bandwidth can solve the problem but only when you reach the bandwidth required to send and display completely uncompressed video.

Oh, sure - you can forego stuff like h.264 once we've all got unlimited 10GigE broadband.

I'm sure I had that on 360 but it seems available for me to purchase, even on 360. Does anyone know of somewhere I can see a list of things I've bought? Commerce.microsoft.com is only showing my X1 purchases.

It's possible I bought it with a second account I abandoned.

EDIT: I did buy it! I can see it here: https://live.xbox.com/en-GB/download/history

[P3DZ]

I'm having the same thing. It's odd. I think they must be having problems getting it sorted or something.

[Transient Curse]

To be honest, I only looked because I saw something about it on Twitter and then Yoshi posted so I thought I'd have a look.

I imagine it'll be sorted out well before I actually want to try playing the game!

[Fry Crayola]

Can someone explain to me the rhyme or reason used in determining whether or not you can happily resume playing after suspending the Xbox One? I ask because it's entirely unpredictable for me. Sometimes I fire it up and the last game I played is still running, other times not. Last night I paused at halftime in the FIFA 16 demo, resumed an hour later and it was gone.

[MojoChin]

I found the FIFA 16 demo to seemingly crash quite a bit in my brief play with it this morning. Played 2 matches, the game crashed about 6 times. Maybe it was an issue with the demo? Conversely, I basically only play PES 2015 the past few weeks and every time I turn on the console it is always left in the same state I left it.

If this helps I got in touch with MS Support. They were going to say buy it and then they would refund me however once I clicked on buy through the xbox store (https://store.xbox.com/en-GB/Xbox-One/Games/Castle-Crashers-Remastered/0f963681-f296-4987-9cd1-ff050274c99e) it never asked for payment info and just comfirmed my purchase. So despite having the same issue as above clicking on the buy option seemed to identify the 360 copy I had and then gave me the game for free.

May be worth a try if someone is close the thier xbox one currently?

[mechamonkey]

Behemoth tweeted they were waiting for the $0 price to go up on live

There's a reply on that link too that says you can still buy the 360 version up till 20th and get the XB1 version free (so saving a couple of quid)

Cheers for the reply but I'll leave it a day or two and hopefully it'll resolve itself. I'm still nervous about having Microsoft look at my account and maybe ask me *anything* about my multiple addresses.

In the Kowloon shipping district in my case

It could be an issue with FIFA in general, as 15 is largely the only game I've really played since picking up the Xbox a few months back. Sometimes it's fine, sometimes it's been quit out of, and sometimes I need to restart the entire machine because it's frozen.

will European version of XBOX One will have UK Cable and plug in it.

[Hitcher]

Unlikely.

I think you'll just need an IEC for the power brick.

[Wiper]

Have done both, The boss fights are a lot of fun and feel very rewarding when done via coop as the AI is very on point with targeting. I'll be starting a fresh again tomorrow to support the devs as they've made a really fun game.

Found a few more reviews:

“Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime reminds me of why I love video games.”

10/10 – Destructoid

“Simply brilliant, from the gameplay that isn’t repetitive and gives you so much replay value it should be criminal, to the simply stunning visuals and music.”

9/10 – Xbox One UK

“Both hardcore and novice gamers alike have likely found their match in Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime.”

4/5 – HardcoreGamer

It might be worth starting a thread for this - I didn't know anything about the game until I read about it in this thread, and it's now shot up my to-buy list (I was going to put it in a list for future purchase when I get a Bone, but discovered it is also on PC while reading up on it, so it's now up for more immediate purchase), but I imagine other people who'd be interested in the game may miss it if it's only talked about in here!

One kickstarter project worth keeping an eye on:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1548028600/battle-chasers-nightwar

Following the launch of Airship Syndicate's Battle Chasers: Nightwar Kickstarter campaign yesterday, the game has already accumulated over $375,000 of its $500,000 target, prompting the ex-Darksiders' dev to confirm support for a console version on Xbox One. The console version is no longer a stretch goal, but part of the campaign.

The vid on the KS page is well worth a watch.

[The Mighty Ash]

Castle crashers has been fixed on the smartglass app at least.

[T Pot]

Not for me

[SnoopZakaDaVe]

yeah its been sorted on the xbox store too, is there a way to transfer save from 360? i heard someone on twitch say that if you load the 360 version up theres an option to transfer save to xbox one, though its a bit of effort for me to dig out and plug in the 360 if its bullshit

[Yoshimax]

Yep sorted on the store on XB1.

[Trokie]

Nah, its true i done it earlier, load up CC on your 360 and you get an option to hit right trigger to upload save to xbox one, takes 10 seconds. Not yet loaded it up on my xbone.

[ilpostino]

Just for absolute clarity's sake, you need to load up CC, get the update, go to 'Player Statistics' then press RT to upload the save.

[SnoopZakaDaVe]

cheers i sorted it earlier, took about 30 minutes of updating and redownloading my profile on a 360 i havent switched on in over a year but have all my stuff transferred, apart from gold, but apparently you can spend that on the 360 version on various things then transfer the save again if you want to stock up. not too worried about that though!

[Cosmic_Guru]

Seems the big update is to be gradually rolled out to Preview members depending on the volume of feedback received to date. You can decline to receive if you wish.

http://news.xbox.com/2015/09/xbox-one-november-update-preview?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter

So, I'll be back of the queue, not that I'm particularly fussed. The main consequence of being in the Preview programme so far seems to be a string of smallish updates rather than one big monthly one (apart from the BC stuff).

[Yoshimax]

Lovers in a dangerous spacetime is so good - got the mrs to play and surprisingly little shouting occured It'll be a crime if it doesn't sell well such an original concept.

[Revival]

[TehStu]

Is that the Win 10 interface? I figured they meant tiles and stuff, rather than something approaching the Win 10 Xbox app.

[Revival]

Yeah it's the new UI which'll be available in waves for people in the preview program soon this month with a final roll out for everyone in November.

Gigantic is a free-to-play online team-based third-person shooter video game developed by Motiga. The game focuses on team-based action combat with heroes battling alongside a massive guardian.

[Radish]

I took the third key, thanks. I hadn't realized Gigantic was under full NDA though, so yeah, nothing more to say here

The code does also grant you access to the PC version for those curious. Apparently it requires Windows 10 but that requirement seems pretty arbitrary so far.
