In this video I show you how to record with the new Xbox One built in DVR and then Upload the recordings to YouTube. Currently there is no direct sharing option from Xbox One to YouTube – this will become available sometime in 2014. Once recorded and edited you can even upload them to your SkyDrive account which allows you to download them onto your computer and then upload to websites like YouTube. You can do this all for free using the Xbox One DVR and the Upload Studio app.

Check out this video by ForgeWorldMaps, where he breaks down an interview with IGN and Phil Spencer and the topic of Halo Wars comes up in discussion.
“[Halo Wars is] something I’m very interested in. Bonnie [Ross, 343 Industries GM] and I talk about it quite a bit,” … “And especially now, when I think about some of the capability,” … “when I think about some voice and other things that you could add to that, that’s the kind of gameplay that I think would be great in those scenarios. And also a game that maybe I could play on multiple devices: I could play on Windows as well, I could play on console, because it has that gameplay that lends itself so well to that. So I suspect you’ll see us do something with…they’re kind of busy right now at 343, which is good, we’re really happy with what they’re working on. But I think there is opportunity for us to do something more with that franchise and Bonnie, Kiki [Wolfkill, 343 executive producer], and Josh [Holmes, creative director] are doing a great job in thinking holistically about the Halo franchise.”
They seem to like the idea, and don’t flat out deny the possibility. But they acknowledge that 343 Industries is already busy at the moment producing the next Halo game. Phil Spencer also adds that playing a game like Halo Wars on multiple devices (i.e. Windows PCs, maybe tablets, and on console) could be possible. The RTS genre fits well with PC, as seen by many Ensemble Studios (the developers of Halo Wars; which has since been shutdown) games – but Halo Wars never made an appearance on the PC platform. Could they follow Halo: Spartan Assault’s footsteps and if they do make a sequel, release it on multiple Windows platforms overtime? Who knows.

Below is the list of achievements for Xbox 360 and Xbox One. Which is interesting that Xbox One Achievements are worth double in comparison to the Xbox 360 list. The original achievements from the Windows 8 platform are making the move to the consoles along with some brand new achievements for co-op and 2 exclusive Xbox One achievements.
