Major Xbox One Update This Fall



Major Xbox one update is about to roll out this fall. One of the biggest complaints from people who came across to the Xbox one from the Xbox 360 was, "if it ain't broke don't fix it" referring to the user interface. Since then Microsoft have been constantly tweaking the interface trying to bring it up to par and maybe even improve the Xbox experience. Some key feature users can experience according to Major Nelson are:

  • Parties - Party app has been redone to highlight what activities everyone in your party is doing.
  • New Friends Section - this will enable you to see what your friends are doing, and even check out most popular game-scores over the last 30 days.
  • Media Player - I'm most excited for this feature because it allows the user to access media files and play from either and attached USB device or from a network connection from media severs and will support more formats than the Xbox 360.
Those are the main features i'll looking forward to. Other features are as follows; Xbox One in new markets, Country Expansion, Multiple Game DVR Deletes, Save your Avatar Gamerpic, Setting Updates, Bandwidth User Display, Live TV Mini-guide, Boot to Tv, Stream TV to Smart-Glass, and Xbox One Digital TV Tuner.

These are just some of the feature rolling out, we should see this out by sometime next month. Lets see how much of an improvement this does to the user interface.

Batman: Arkham Kight Xbox One, PS4 Delayed






The new Batman: Arkham Knight expected to be released this year is now rumored to be delayed until 2015.  After DC All Access Panel showed the trailer, it was announced that the game has been pushed to 2015. Game Informer in an interview stated that the creators decided to add more characters to make the game more interesting. 
For now, no character has been revealed for the game but the rumors surrounding the introduction of a hero or a villain to challenge the cape crusader. Personally I don't mind waiting, its better they get it right now before the rush it out and we get half a game.
