First impressions: One Xbox looking for a central place in the … – TeK.sapo

Xbox One has already been launched in late 2013 in several markets where it has been – slowly – gaining market the most direct rival, the PlayStation 4, which ushered in the era of the new generation of consoles and in Portugal came running out after Christmas.

Portugal was consigned to the second wave of availability of the console, allowing you to save time to invest in a bigger location, also in the availability of Portuguese bonds, and a reinforced flap approach.
 

The console went for writing the TeK for a short but intense experience, which allowed for more personalized way to understand the differences of the new generation, not only in terms of performance in games but also in integration with the component entertainment and the will that Microsoft has to do with the console play a central role in the users area.
 

All elements are tightly packed in the box with the necessary installation instructions, and the process of installation and configuration is quick and easy. Once connected to the TV, set top box and if any pay TV service, the Xbox can now “take care” of the entire entertainment system, controlling the TV with voice commands and offering the possibility of harmonizing the game with viewing TV, movies and music listening programs.
 

The idea is that the Xbox is even the first interface, a goal that can be difficult to achieve when in Portugal the percentage of users of pay TV services is so high, and when the consoles are often remitted to the room of the newest, or another room.
 

is not that the Xbox does not deserve a prominent place in your living room. Undoubtedly deserves. The picture quality, gaming performance and interface are designed to quickly conquer all users, even if they are not the traditional “gamers”. And the provision of games and entertainment, extra applications and content services is sufficiently attractive to make the family choose “turn off” the TV signal and from the discovery of other forms of entertainment from Xbox One.
 

But there are still some components to fully realize the capability of full integration and full customization experience that Microsoft wants to offer, especially with the service OneGuide which is still in development and should be operating from September with all national TV operators.
 

The experience of TeK longer allowed to use the HDMI pass through to connect to the console, controlling the TV from the Xbox, but little more than that, the missing component of suggestions according to each profile and personal tastes. Even the interface was not yet finalized for the Portuguese language, with voice commands, what will happen in the version that hits stores from day 5.
 

For those who want to use the console just to play there is nothing pointing to negative. The three games that followed the Xbox One this test – Titanfall, Call of Duty and Fifa 14 Ghosts – brought a few hours of fun and an overall positive appreciation for graphic quality and performance, leaving missed on departure. And there are more titles in the list of relief.
  

The final version arrives today, September 5, in stores. The selling price starts at 399 euros public without the Kinect, while the version with the motion sensor rises to 499 euros. There are also other options with multiple bundles confirmed with games like Call of Duty and Titanfall.
