Kinect Sports Rivals Launches This April

Microsoft and Rare are excited to announce that Kinect Sports Rivals will be available exclusively on Xbox One on April 8, 2014 in North America, Australia and New Zealand, and on April 11, 2014 in Europe. Whether fans are looking to tackle the new sports – Climbing, Wake Racing and Target Shooting – or experience the re-imagined fan favorites – Soccer, Tennis and Bowling – the power of Xbox One and the new Kinect will deliver next-gen motion sports gameplay like never before.

Kinect Sports Rivals is the first title to take full advantage of all the new Xbox One capabilities, including, the new Kinect sensor and Xbox Live, and is beautifully rendered 1080p HD. Kinect Sports Rivals is built entirely from the ground up to take advantage of all that Xbox One has to offer to create a more tailored and immersive experience than was never possible before. For the first time in motion-based games, subtle movements and timing are tracked with precision – now every move you make matters and every decision is critical to secure your victory. Additionally, players have an all new way to get in the game with Champions, a stylized on-screen version of themselves that participates in each of the challenges and continues to compete, even if the player isn't there, using Xbox One Living Games technology!

To take the competition to the next level, Kinect Sports Rivals is bringing a new level of depth to the game with the introduction of teams and captains. For the first time in franchise history, players will choose one of three epic teams, each with a unique identity, ethos, and equipment attributes that can prove valuable in competition. Each team will also provide players with gameplay tips and motivation, and will join in certain challenges to take on rivals.

Led by Vargu, Wolf Clan are island natives with a primal and uninhibited nature and a culture that prizes excellence. Eagle Legion is a loyal and honorable group that, under the leadership of Blake, have formalized the various events on this island and defeated countless teams in the process. And lastly, Viper Network, led by Zara, is the newest addition to the island, bringing with them a crafty and ambitious drive coupled with corporate sponsorship. Each of these teams will issue unique challenges and invite players to join their team. Which team will you choose – it's YOU vs the world

新外设出现Xbox One遥控器曝光

　　Xbox One除了耳机及适配器之外，又有新外设出现了。这次是近似电视机遥控器的Xbox One Medie Remote遥控器，目前已经出现在亚马逊加拿大地区的网站上，定价为24.99加币。但后来该遥控器又被网站下架。该遥控器与电视机遥控器很像，包括基本的十字方向键，音量键以及常用的媒体播放器按键。这也说明微软对Xbox One的客厅娱乐功能的重视，显然这一遥控器并非针对Xbox One的游戏功能，而是强化Xbox One的媒体播放功能。

Xbox One 赠送 Titanfall 数字版的限量套装，3月11日 $499 上市



微软宣布为了迎接 Xbox One 年度大作《泰坦空降 | Titanfall》下月上市，将在 3 月 11 日开始限量发售 Xbox One 主机 + Titanfall 数字版的同捆版套装，建议零售价 $499，相当于买 Xbox One 主机免费赠送 Titanfall 游戏。

Titanfall 将于 3 月 11 日在 Xbox One、PC 平台发售，Xbox 360 版在 3 月 25 日上市。

微软日前发布消息，官方确认了早晨泄露的Xbox One捆绑《泰坦陨落》套装。这一套装组合包括一台Xbox One主机、Kinect传感器、一部标准Xbox One无线手柄、一部标准Xbox One耳机以及一个月的Xbox Live金牌会员和一份《泰坦陨落》游戏，价格仅为399.99英镑。从今天起玩家可以预订该套装。



当然，单独发售的普通Xbox One主机微软也进行了降价，这可以说是Xbox One推出后的首次降价贩售，从原来的429.99英镑降到了399.99英镑。

XBOX ONE 3月11日更新将支持Twitch在线直播

　　PS4主机支持Twitch和Ustream在线直播游戏的功能深受玩家喜爱，PS4上市初期大量玩家尝试该功能一度让Twitch和Ustream人气爆棚，但是竞争对手XBOX ONE却没有这项功能，软饭们大不悦。不过这样的不悦很快就将结束，微软日前公布将于2014年3月11日推出XBOX ONE新系统更新，而该更新的主要功能便是增加对Twitch在线直播游戏的支持。

　　更新之后XBOX ONE的玩家也可以通过Twitch在线直播自己的游戏过程，其他玩家也可以加入直播室观看他人的直播并且发表评论，同时直播支持语音控制还可以存储精彩镜头，并在任何设备上观看Twitch的直播视频。此前XBOX ONE的玩家只能通过录制好视频再用其他设备上传到Twitch才可以直播。

　　“真是完全的功能整合。”Twitch的CEO Emmett Shear说道：“这真是令人兴奋，因为我们从来没有让直播和家用机进行如此深层次的融合。加入直播派对的概念真的很酷，这让游戏机和网络直播的互动又向前迈进一步。”

报道显示，杜比音效选项会被添加到Xbox One主机的高清音频设置菜单下，届时玩家可以在杜比和DTS两种数字环绕声方案之间做出选择。

Xbox One March Update Rolling Out Now, Full Details

Prepare for Titanfall: Marc Whitten Provides Details on Xbox One March Update

As a gamer, I couldn’t be more excited for the upcoming launch of “Titanfall.” I’ve played the game and it’s awesome – I can’t wait to see you online! This launch is particularly special because our team has been working to make Xbox Live on Xbox One the best place to play.

We have received lots of feedback since the launch of Xbox One in November and listening closely to you. I’m excited to share that our second, and most significant, system update for Xbox One is starting to roll out today and includes improved matchmaking, party chat and friends features that will make gaming on Xbox One an experience like no other. To me that means playing games like “Titanfall” on the best multiplayer service on the planet, using a new headset or the one you already own, while live broadcasting your games on Twitch.

Here’s a breakdown of more of the features in the March update, addressing some of the biggest feedback you’ve shared:

• Get to your friends list faster. The friends list is now front and center on the homepage of the Friends app. Click the Social tile on Home, or say “Xbox, go to Friends” to see who’s online and what they’re up to. From there you can quickly send messages and get into a party.

• Party chat on by default. When you party up, chat audio is turned on by default.

• Chat with friends playing different games. Party chat is now separated from people playing your game, so you can chat with your friends who are online or you can chat with everyone playing the game.

• “Invite friends to game” option available in your multiplayer titles. Similar to Xbox 360 titles, when you’re inside a game's menu you have a simpler and quicker way to set up your multiplayer battles. Selecting “Invite friends” lets you invite friends to your game and party.

• See a list of “Recent Players.” This is a simple list that shows you Xbox Live members you’ve recently played with, making it easier to stay in touch with people, add new friends after your multiplayer sessions, or report a player for bad behavior.

• Twitch live streaming support. The best broadcasting and spectating experience on any game console is on its way to Xbox One with the new Twitch app launching on March 11, just say “Xbox broadcast” to start sharing. Xbox One is the only next-gen console that allows you to archive your Twitch broadcasts and view live Twitch streams regardless of their original source.

• Dolby Digital sound. Optical out now supports 5.1 Dolby Digital, enabling devices such as sound bars and headsets with only optical in to be able to receive 5.1 Dolby Digital from Xbox One over optical. We’re also adding support for Dolby Digital surround sound over HDMI. Now you’ll be able to have the best sound quality no matter what speaker setup you are using.

• We will now support 50Hz output to Xbox One. You can set the live TV app to display at 50Hz for full or fill modes, fixing the frame rate issues some users in Europe have been experiencing while watching live TV on Xbox One.

There are some other really great updates coming in March that may be less obvious, but still important to you. Here are some of my other favorites:

• Volume up/down adjustments. We’re making it easier to adjust the volume on your Xbox One. Now, you can tailor the number of volume increments when using “Xbox volume up” or “Xbox volume down” voice commands.

• New ways to stay connected with SmartGlass. We’re introducing new ways for you to stay connected with your friends through Xbox One SmartGlass. Receive notifications of Xbox Live messages, check out what your friends are doing, and see their latest highlight clips. You can even unsnap apps with the tap of a finger – all from your personal device.

• Support for new Xbox One accessories. Xbox One now supports the recently announced Xbox One Stereo Headset and Adapter and Adapter, the Xbox One Media Remote with a dedicated OneGuide button, as well as third party headsets.

• Browser improvements. When you’re searching for content, there’s now a direct link to IE to see related results on the web. New gesture and controller features let you directly zoom and pan Bing and Google maps. And search is even faster in IE – just highlight a phrase on a web page and press the menu button to search Bing and learn more.

• IR blasting of power and volume to TVs/AVRs is now available in all regions.

• Easy sound bar setup. Your audio sound bar set up just got a lot easier. You no longer need to type in the model number for most sound bars or AVRs when setting up TV on Xbox One.

• General improvements. Last, but not least, a few miscellaneous updates like the ability to view Game Clips while in Snap mode and a new passkey feature to protect user settings.

This is such an exciting time to be on Xbox One. This update starts rolling out today and marks a big milestone on our journey to bring you the best games and entertainment experiences on Xbox One. Now we’re counting down the days along with you until Titanfall and Twitch launch next week on March 11.

We value all of the feedback we’re getting from you. Keep it coming! We are listening. We know external hard drive storage is another big one on your list. It’s on our list too. We’re working on that for a future update and will keep you posted. We’re also working on friends notification improvements and experimenting with how to make that better. Just as we do with Xbox 360, we’ll be continuing regular updates to Xbox One – some will be big, like this March update, and some will be smaller. Big or small, we’re committed to delivering continuous innovation through system updates like this one. Thanks for your feedback.

微软Xbox One Bing搜索结果已开始包含网页内容

　　 去年微软发布Xbox One的时候，也为之带来了搜索方面的革新。这款游戏设备使用Kinect和Bing在设备中进行游戏、音乐和视频的查找。不过实际上，搜索功能仍有提升的空间，所以微软今天为Xbox One之上的搜索提供了新的功能特性改进。

　　 Xbox One最新升级现正向用户推送，本次升级加入了网页搜索结果。Bing团队表示：“任何时间使用Xbox Bing进行搜索，现在你都可以从我们广阔的市场中获得相应搜索结果，以及来自网页的有关项目。”此外，微软也有为IE用户提供的升级，比如在访问某个网站的时候，用户可以选中一个单词或整行内容，点击菜单按钮使用Bing搜索，就能进行与此关键词相关内容信息的搜索了。同时微软还表示系统将更好地对语音搜索提供支持。
