Are you sure it's only for the Kickstarter?

I've no idea, only joking with Enternow!

I'd imagine with the funding this will get a PS4 release will be on the cards

This is seriously cool. Oliver, you're a talented chap

I used Filebot to rename everything and sort out issues

This will save me literally hours of work, thank you

Just wanted to thank you for that recommendation again. It's literally saved me days, if not weeks of menial file work. Renaming films is one thing, but when you factor in big TV shows the task becomes all the more painstaking. I must have renamed thousands of files of TV show stuff in a matter of a few hours.

All finished the migration now, movies & tv libraries up & running with all the great info provided by scrapers too. I'd one final hurdle, the MCE remote I have worked flawlessly with the exception of the 'i' or 'more' button (which expands the synopsis etc). It was looking like a mess of either registry editing or building keyboard.xml files to sort it out, but thankfully, I found this little gem that allowed me to sort it in seconds - http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=164252 - it's a cool little piece of software that saved me more work.

Now, to get back to normal life - I'm goggle eyed looking at directories & naming conventions the last couple of days!

Never heard of FileBot, looks very handy indeed and best of all available in a Synology NAS package

If Shenmue 3 gets a physical PS4 release I will buy a PS4. No sooner... (Unless Uncharted 4 catches my eye... Then sooner)

I was the same with The Last Guardian and buying a PS4, then Bloodborne came along and the rest is history. :pac:

Fair to say there's not a whole load of exclusives on PS4 just yet - especially if in ownership of a decent PC - but boy some of the ones they do have are among the few I'd actually care about. Bloodborne and Last Guardian are both definite 'system sellers' as far as I'd be concerned - thankfully there's enough other stuff (Disgaea 5 and Everyone's Gone to the Rapture in particular) to buff out the time between the big hitters Oh, and Persona 5, even if there is a PS3 version!

No problem, ive been in that dark renaming pit also. I found that tool and it so easy to use. Renames the files and then the scrapers can identify everything.

I have a 3TB NAS that is connected to the RPi over the wireless/wired. Just moved to OSMC so need to redo the share setup.

Glad i could be of help.

Ill check out the software but i used the XBMCremote app (now the official Kodi remote app) on the iPhone for all the i and more options.
I have a samsung remote too that works with it.

^ Ah the remote is all sorted now, I just had to change the keystroke that the 'i' button was sending to ctrl-D & all was sweet

They picked up a fair few on the show floor as well, particularly at the Square Enix event. Most exciting one for me being the Nier sequel. The first game was so brilliant. the writing was excellent and while the gameplay wasn't stellar it was great fun seeing how inventive the devs could be with it turning it from one moment into a brawler then a bullet hell shooter or even a text adventure. To see that kind of inventiveness and storytelling married to Paltinum game's expertise for amazing gameplay systems is very exciting.

Meanwhile MS seem to be looking backwards by investing time & money in dragging the 360 back into relevance.

Good time to start hoovering up those PS3 classics now as well

Myrddin

I'm quite impressed by MS in how they're handling the backwards compatibility. To allow users to use their discs to unlock digital downloads is quite consumer friendly I'd have thought. They could have otherwise 'ported' the title to the One & charged users for them (I'm looking at you Nintendo). While it's hardly a console seller of a feature, as a collector of physical media it's something I'd applaud.

But its a case by case basis games are added so obviously popular games will be supported. This should have been available at the start of consoles lifespan not 18 months into where the previous generation should really be left behind and not sucking up resources - MS engineers had previously been quoted as saying the PowerPC was a b1tch to emulated on X86 so its obviously not a trivial/cheap task now.

They're still playing catch up to Sony after the whole media/games console flipflopping. Hopefully the gain a bit more traction as the last thing the industry needs is for Sony to become the overly cocky/dominant player again.

Meanwhile Sony have quietly added a media player to PS4

As I said elsewhere, I reckon DoDonPachi SaiDaiOuJou will not be top of their agenda.

I'd say that's just a matter of testing though, to ensure the game works as it should & more importantly, doesn't offer up potential vulnerabilities to the system (see the initial Vita hacks using the PSP usermode). The fact it won't cost developers anything to have their 360 games available on the One means all the investment is in the emulator, & the games themselves needs no work to become functional. I reckon licensing rights aside, the majority of the 360 catalogue will be available on the One eventually.

It should have been, but we all know MS screwed up the launch & direction of the One badly. Their entire focus was on Kinect, TV, & media. That didn't last long, & that new guy took over who genuinely seems to want to turn things around, obviously for business sake, but they've a successful feedback system whereby many user suggestions have been listened to & implemented. They've been lucky not to have been left in the dust of Sony given how badly the launch went.

(Oddly enough my phones predictive text took exception to the above word, a word of my own design, to express frustration at the lack of urgency of making shooters the priority for compatibility with the Xbox One....)

Not exactly cheap... but you can get the 15% off tickets using the code 'HeyListen'

Probably a lost cause at this stage...

Good video thanks, maybe might work out on the new Sega machine.
Very simple ideas in fairness, ive only liked the first 3.

Jack burton

Yeah really good video. Great points and i like the whole rayman legends look

I seem to remember suggesting this on a long since locked thread in the Games forum and getting abuse for the notion.
But it is ideal, being able to pop your game in the drive and it act as a key, I presume.
Here's hoping the uptake will be universal for all 360 publishers, but where does that leave the likes of Outrun 2006 HD where Sega lost the licence?

It doesn't cost publishers a penny to have their 360 game available on the One, so all things being equal, it's likely the uptake will be pretty large given the chance of increased sales too. Licensing issues would remain unchanged, at least, I don't see why the situation would change

Atavan-Halen

Didn't capcom lose some marvel licenses too, so they probably won't be compatible.

Although I don't see why it has to be an issue, you already own the game so just make them available to people who own the disc or who have previously downloaded and not to people who want to purchase the game for the first time. You can still redownload games you've purchased on Xbox live even if they've been removed.

Retr0gamer

There should be no licensing issues there. They are making the game backwards compatible not selling the licensed games again. Those games have Already been removed from circulation.

I am simply thinking not of the countless XB1 exclusives to come but of a replacement for the 360 that will offer me more reliable access to my 360 collection without the worry that the console is going to just snuff it one day.
I'll keep the peepers out for a cheap preowned machine, though I have to start saving for the NX next year soon, and a couple of games, console launches are only getting more expensive!
