Inside will be released on June 29th, from the Limbo developer. Pneuma is about the closest you'll get to Witness on the Xbox One.

 

Inside is definitely my kind of game, thanks! Looks great.

Something strange - I've just had a look in my 'ready to install' section because it had jumped from something like 29 games up to 48 now

 

It looks like all of the EA Access games are now on my list but I've never signed up to EA Access. Is there some sort of promotion going on that I've not heard about? (Got no notifications or messages about it) 

 

I'm on the new dash preview, maybe some bug with that, I dunno?

 

I think I might try to install one of the smaller games to see if it works (Peggle 2 is probably the smallest download I think)

 

I know there was a free play period recently but I though that was just during E3, but the games weren't in my r.t.d section last time I looked about 2 days ago.

 

It's a bit odd, anyone else had this or know what's going on?

This might be a bit obvious but has a friend of yours, who has EA Access, recently recovered their profile on your Xbone?

 

Or maybe you've set up content sharing with an online mate without realising it?

Nope, only me has ever used this console & I haven't got sharing set up with anyone.

So I got one - £199 with FIFA 16, an extra controller, and I got Halo 5 with it for £9.99, which overall I thought was quite reasonable!

 

Set some BC titles to download, and there's a massive update to Halo 5 (35GB :wacko:). All I've played so far is bloody Portal 2. Going to pick up Sunset Overdrive and swap my 360 copy of Rise of the Tomb Raider with the Xbox One version tomorrow, and I'm probably going to buy an Ori and the Blind Forest code.

 

I don't like football so I'm not really bothered about the FIFA 16 code I got with it - how much is it worth to sell on?

 

And is the 'Rare Replay' version of Banjo Kazooie exactly the same as the 360 backwards compatibility version I can already download, or had it been enhanced in any way?

Hey, I've got Sunset Overdrive in mint condition. How about swapping that for your FIFA 16?

I think this must be a bug with the new dash preview after all, my ready to install list has only 15 games in it today, no EA Access games at all and quite a few others missing now.

Thanks for the suggestions to those who replied all the same

 

edit : looking at it again, as well as the EA games that have disappeared, none of my BC games are showing now.

I got the preview dash over night - its not an earth shattering change but it is better and as far as a tiles setup goes quite nice to use - I wish the dash just wasn't so laggy esp in the store where I often press a direction again so over shoot what I want!

So I'm really enjoying the Xbox One ^_^

 

I have Rise of the Tomb Raider, Ori, Sunset Overdrive and Halo Master Chief Collection ready to play, and I've just bought Super Hot which I'm enjoying (I didn't realise it would be a timed Xbox exclusive). I'll be picking up Inside later this week too.

 

I almost never play online on my PS4, but it's clear the Xbox One puts this at the forefront like the 360 did. I have various issues with the main menu, but getting into your friends list (press the guide button and then left) is far easier than on PS4, making online play feel more accessible. I'll be picking up a headset and getting back online for sure.

 

The pad is lovely (the bumpers are far better in this revised controller), but it's a shame you need to spend more money to make it rechargeable, and it is scary that I've already filled 90% of the HDD! Halo 5 alone, a game I own on disc, somehow takes up 80GB.

 

Both consoles are great, and both have pros and cons, but I still think I made the right choice to go with the PS4 on launch - it's just what was right for me at the time. I've been an Xbox die-hard since the first one though, buying the PS2 and PS3 much later, so it's good to be back. Really looking forward to Crackdown 3 now!

When I switch the Xbox off (it's set to the option to automatically download updates etc), is it meant to suspend the game in playing like the PS4 does? Whenever I switch it off and on again while playing Tomb Raider, it always shows this error and loses my position:

Pressing (on home screen) left on D Pad will give access to friends and other settings without the need to press the guide button.

I get that all the time with Dark Souls 3. I thought it was something to do with it being an online game and it drops connection when you leave it. I don't know if that's the same for Tomb Raider though.

 

I'd be interested to hear what the real reason is though, as it renders that function pretty useless with how it currently works.

Oh, I mean from when you're in a game. I can't even remember how to do the same on PS4 - press the PS button, press up, scroll left or right and look for the friends app, then wait for it to open? Rubbish.
