As is now well known to all the world of gaming newcomer from Microsoft, Xbox One , is provided on the back of an HDMI IN jack that allows us to actually connect a satellite receiver or a digital TV, in order to look TV directly from our new console.

Undoubtedly, the possibility is definitely very convenient, especially when you consider the fact that this feature can be used at any time even while we are playing with the convenient Snap Mode and that the whole can be operated via the now famous voice commands.

Unfortunately, in the last hours are spreading on the net several reports which indicate a problem with the integration of TV functionality in the European countries.

This problem of the fact that, in some cases, due to the interference and imperfections especially in fast moving scenes, is due to the conversion system framerate.

Xbox One is set to 60Hz natively, but in most European countries television broadcasts, based on the PAL and SECAM, have a frequency of 50 Hz, this means that our beloved console automatically converts the incoming signal, thereby causing some imperfections and sudden flicker

At this point we just have to wait for news from Microsoft about a possible solution.

During an interview, the creative director, Sam Lake, revealed some interesting details on the highly Quantum Break, a title that will make its debut as an exclusive on the new console from Microsoft, Xbox One.

As stated by Lake, in the course of our adventure we will often assume the role of both “Good” that the “bad”, such a possibility we will be offered at certain times of the game, called “junction point”.

“Break Play Quantum will be like being inside of an action film, think of Die Hard, often the villain, Alan Rickman, comes very close to stealing the show at the protagonist.

This is what we want to do with our new title, we wish to make the interactive dynamic system just like in a movie, in which are shown not only the actions of the “Good”, but there are also scenes in which the “bad” plans his misdeeds.

In this way you will be well to interpret Paul in Serene “junction points” in order to make choices from his perspective.

One of our goals is to make the antagonist a character too deep and complex to understand the reasons for his actions.”

Obviously, it is unnecessary to say that the moments in which play as Paul Serene will be crucial and decisive in carrying out the plot, our antagonist will also be equipped with a special power that allows him to manipulate time it is possible to see the future.

At this point we just have to wait for the announcement of the official date of release highly anticipated title.

A new generation of sensor Kinect, which the Redmond company considers its trump card in the game console market, compared to its predecessor, has made a great leap forward, not only on the part of the hardware characteristics, but also with respect to functionality. To make this leap of the research division of Microsoft and the development team Architecture and Silicon Management (ASM) had to put a lot of effort, according to Engadget.

In the process of addressing the major shortcomings of the first generation of Kinect and add the required functionality in the way Microsoft specialists and ASM met a lot of “gotchas.” As an example, consider an updated Wide Angle Camera, which allows you to use Kinect 2 in a spacious living room. Expanding the field of view of the lens, developers are faced with a major problem – the sensor was bad recognize the small details such as the user’s finger or lip movement.

Currently, Microsoft has shared a video that shows the main features of the sensor Kinect 2 – namely, the impeccable accuracy of perception of details and colors, wide field of view, eliminating unnecessary lighting technology and the ability to handle 6.5 million pixels per second.

The software giant is making a big bet on the Kinect 2, and it seems that the camera is based on the principle of measuring the “time of flight” of light (time-of-flight, TOF), is its core.
