Forza Motorsport 5

 
Microsoft and Turn 10 announced Forza Motorsport 5 at the Xbox Reveal conference yesterday. The latest in Microsoft’s premiere racing series will bring the franchise into the next generation for the first time. Today, we have a full trailer.

The Forza Motorsport racing series has been Microsoft’s answer to Gran Turismo for quite some time, and it nearly generates the same critical reception. This latest reveal trailer might not show off the in-game engine, but the pre-rendered clips are still impressive nonetheless.

Racing games showcase a new console’s graphical prowess better than most other genres. Something about shiny cars, dusty environments and fast paced editing just seems to scream next-gen the first time you see it.

Both previous Xbox consoles had a racing game at launch, but this is the first time Microsoft doesn’t have a Project Gotham Racing game to accompany it out of the gate. Lucid Games has teased that one might be available in a few months, but seeing how Forza enjoys a bit more prestige these days, I don’t see Microsoft releasing conflicting racing games during the launch window.

Sad indeed, but Forza Motorsport is still the most exciting game revealed yesterday. Turn 10 is way up there with Criterion and Polyphony Digital as one of the premiere racing game companies out there these days.

Keep an eye out for more Forza Motorsport 5 at E3 this June!

What will be the price of XBOX ONE ?

Out of all the whiz-bang features in the new Xbox One, Microsoft left out one important bit of news: we have no idea how much this thing will cost.

Keep in mind, the hardware isn't cheap. The Xbox One is a relatively high-end computer with a Blu-Ray player, 500 GB hard drive, 8 GB of RAM, 8-core processor, and an advanced Kinect sensor for motion control.

For now, Microsoft refuses to drop any hints on pricing. In an interview with Business Insider, Xbox's hardware boss Todd Holmadahl wouldn't budge when asked about how much the Xbox One would cost when it launches. 

But there's still a lot of informed speculation out there. The consensus seems to be that the Xbox One will cost in the $400-$500 range, but Microsoft will also offer a cheaper, subsidized version if you sign up for an Xbox Live account that connects the console to the Internet and lets you access online gaming and streaming services like Netflix. (Holmadahl also refused to comment on Xbox Live pricing plans for the Xbox One.)

Microsoft blogger Paul Thurrott reported about a month ago that he's heard the Xbox One will launch in November for $500 if you want to pay full price or $300 if you buy it with a Xbox Live subscription.

Analysts hold a similar viewpoint. Piers Harding-Rolls of IHS told Business Insider that he thinks the

Xbox One will cost around $400, but there are still a lot of unknowns such as what kind of profit margin Microsoft is looking for. Harding-Rolls also agrees that it's likely there will be a subsidized Xbox One if users agree to pay for Xbox Live for two years.

But keep in mind this is primarily a video game console and it's going to be tough to convince people to buy an Xbox One without a healthy library of games.

"The sweet spot for pricing depends on the games shown at E3," Harding-Rolls said in an email, referring to the annual video game conference that takes place next month. "While the live TV overlay and cutting edge UI will catch the consumer's eye, we still believe that games will be the key driver of sales. If the games are desirable and exclusive, early adopters will be willing to pay higher prices at launch."

 

There's some precedence for that pricing model too. You can buy the current Xbox 360 today for $99 with a two-year subscription to Xbox Live that costs $14.99 per month. 

Plus a lot of the Xbox One's best features will require an Internet connection, so it'll likely be worth it for most people to buy the subsidized console and pay a monthly access fee.

All about XBOX ONE

After much speculation, Microsoft this week finally unveiled its next-generation console, the Xbox One.

We'll hear more details at next month's E3 gaming conference; Redmond has scheduled a June 10 press event. But we won't actually get our hands on the Xbox One until "later this year"

Still, Microsoft provided a good amount of detail about the Xbox One, topping Sony's PS4 announcement by actually showing us what the Xbox One looks like. Here's a rundown of what we know about the new console, so far.

What am I getting with the Xbox One? Buyers will get the new Xbox One console, a revamped controller, and an updated Kinect sensor.

I need the Kinect for the Xbox One? Yes. As we saw in yesterday's demo, voice and gesture are a big part of the new console. "The all new Kinect is now an essential and integrated part of the platform," according to Microsoft. Ultimately, the integration of Kinect will allow developers to create new experiences that tap into that functionality, like the Illumiroom experience Microsoft showed off recently.

What about this controller? Microsoft said it has added "more than 40 technical and design innovations" to the Xbox One controller. That includes an updated directional pad, thumb stick, an ergonomic fit, and new vibrating impulse triggers. It'll also pair automatically with Kinect, Microsoft said.

Can I use my Xbox 360 controller with Xbox One? Doesn't look like it. Microsoft told Polygon that Xbox 360 controllers won't work with the Xbox One.

Will the Xbox One be an "always-on" console? In its FAQ, Microsoft said "No, it does not have to be always connected, but Xbox One does require a connection to the Internet." What? Basically, gamers should be able to use single-player games or watch a Blu-ray (Yes, Blu-ray!) without an Internet connection. But there's a heavy focus on the cloud with Xbox One, allowing for synching across devices and quick access to the Internet-based services. 

The Biggest Games Coming to the Xbox One

 

So I could conceivably avoid the Web altogether with Xbox One? Well, Redmond raised some eyebrows yesterday when vice president Phil Harrison told Kotaku that even if you stuck with single-player games or Blu-ray, the Xbox One will still require you to sign in every 24 hours. Microsoft later told the blog that Harrison's comments covered a "potential scenario," so we'll have to wait for more details about the log-in requirements for Xbox One.

Can I play my Xbox 360 games on the Xbox One? Nope. Games for the Xbox One will not be backwards compatible with older games. "We designed Xbox One to play an entirely new generation of games—games that are architected to take full advantage of state-of-the-art processors and the infinite power of the cloud," Microsoft said.

So, what games will be available? Microsoft Studios, for one, promised 15 exclusive games in the first year of Xbox One, eight of which are brand-new franchises. As for the big names, expect to see EA's sports lineup (FIFA, Madden NFL, NBA Live, and UFC), the new Call of Duty: Ghosts from Activision, as well as Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag and Watch Dogs from Ubisoft. For more, check out our games roundup.

How about used games? Microsoft said that Xbox One will let customers trade in and resell games. The company promised more details, but as noted by Wired, you'll have to pay a fee if you want to install a disc on a second account and play without that disc.

Will I need a new Xbox account for the One? Microsoft said Xbox Live Gamertags, as well as Gamerscore and Achievements will carry over from the Xbox 360 to the Xbox One. Existing Xbox Live Gold memberships will also work on the new console.

What about the specs? The Xbox One includes an 8-core CPU, 8GB of system memory, and a 500GB hard disc drive. There's also the much-requested Blu-ray drive, 802.11 wireless with Wi-Fi Direct, HDMI in/out, and USB 3.0. That includes customized AMD accelerated processor units (APUs) integrating the chip maker's forthcoming Jaguar-class CPU cores and Radeon graphics, as well as a memory controller, video decoder, and other functionality.

How will this create a better gaming experience than the Xbox 360? According to the demos from game makers like EA and Activision, the power of the Xbox One will mean more impressive graphics - from the car tricks in Forza Motorsports 5 to the ability to knock down buildings for cover in Call of Duty: Ghosts. Activision actually showed a side-by-side comparison of COD: Ghosts and COD: Modern Warfare 3 and with a new Activision-developed engine, characters in Ghosts on Xbox One looked much more real.

What non-gaming tweaks were added to Xbox One? Microsoft talked up the Xbox One not just as a game console, but an "all-in-one entertainment system." To that end, the Xbox One will let you switch between gaming, live TV, and music with your voice as fast as you might change a TV channel. On the TV, you don't have to remember channels; with the revamped Guide, just tell the Xbox One you want to "watch HBO."

So the lines between watching TV and gaming are blurred a bit, huh? Yes, with Snap Mode for Xbox One, you can do two things at once, like catch up on Mad Men on one side of the screen and surf the Web on another. For sports, fantasy stats will pop up on screen while you're watching live games. This, of course, depends on whether or not Microsoft has secured a deal with your cable provider; Redmond said it is " working through the many technologies and policies around the world to make live TV available where Xbox One is available."

How much will this cost me? Microsoft hasn't released pricing information just yet. Stay tuned.

If you have other burning questions about the Xbox One, let us know in the comments.

3_The For Statements in C_Language

Home Page the For statement

BACK                                                                                                                            NEXT

There are plenty of different ways to write a program for a particular task. Let's try a variation on the temperature converter.





#include

main()

{

int fahr;



for(fahr=0;fahr<=300;fahr=fahr+20;)

printf("%3d%/t%6.1f\n",fahr,(5.0/9.0)*(fahr-32));



getch();

return 0;

}




Using for statement, it become more easy and small program to create Temperature Table like previous one.




The for statement is a loop, a generalization of the while. If you compare it to the earlier while, its operation should be clear. Within the parentheses, there are three parts, separated by semicolons. The first part, the initialization


fahr = 0


is done once, before the loop proper is entered. The second part is the test or condition that controls the loop:


fahr <= 300


This condition is evaluated; if it is true, the body of the loop (here a single ptintf) is executed. Then the increment step


fahr = fahr + 20


is executed, and the condition re-evaluated. The loop terminates if the condition has become false. As with the while, the body of the loop can be a single statement or a group of statements enclosed in braces. The initialization, condition and increment can be any expressions. The choice between while and for is arbitrary, based on which seems clearer. The for is usually appropriate for loops in which the initialization and increment are single statements and logically related, since it is more compact than while and it keeps the loop control statements together in one place.

The next program uses the formula oC=(5/9)(oF-32) to print the following table of Fahrenheit temperatures and their centigrade or Celsius equivalents:


(important: helps to know how to apply formula based programs in c.)



1 -17

20 -6

40 4

60 15

80 26

100 37

120 48

140 60

160 71

180 82

200 93

220 104

240 115

260 126

280 137

300 148




It is different from the first programm and difficult too. It consists of new c language codes.




#include

/* print Fahrenheit-Celsius table for fahr = 0, 20, ..., 300 */

main()

{

int fahr, celsius;

int lower, upper, step;

lower = 0; /* lower limit of temperature scale */

upper = 300; /* upper limit */

step = 20; /* step size */

fahr = lower;

while (fahr <= upper) {

celsius = 5 * (fahr-32) / 9;

printf("%d\t%d\n", fahr, celsius);

fahr = fahr + step;

}

getch();

return 0; /* if you will not type this, the programm will give you an error. (it will return some value.)*/

}




#include ------------ Library



/* ... */ --- Any characters between /* and */ are ignored by the compiler; they may be used freely to make a program easier to understand.



main() -------------- Function



{ ... } -------- Curle Braces in which statement is performed.



int .... ; integer value to declared first



while( ....... ){ ............ } ------- The while loop operates as follows: The condition in parentheses is tested. If it is true (fahr is less than or equal to upper), the body of the loop (the three statements enclosed in braces) is executed. Then the condition is re-tested, and if true, the body is executed again. When the test becomes false (fahr exceeds upper) the loop ends. There are no further statements in this program, so it terminates. The body of a while can be one or more statements enclosed in braces.



printf(" ..... "); ----- Print characters



(..... <= .....) -------- Greater than equal too



\t -------- To form Table

(Read all the paragraph, if you want better knowledge in C.)

Let us begin with a quick introduction in C.

First to start Programming in c.

In C, the program to print ``hello, world'' is

#include <stdio.h>
main() 
{
printf("hello, world\n"); 
getch(); /* It is important to write this function. otherwise you will not be able to see your program. It means Get Character.*/
}

To perform this programme you need a software to write program in and to compile.

Here is the link to that software. Visit.

 The first line of the program,
 #include <stdio.h> tells the compiler to include information about the standard input/output library; the line appears at the beginning of many C source files. Main is defined to be a function that expects no arguments, which is indicated by the empty list ( ).


#include <stdio.h>                include information about standard library

    main()                               define a function called main that received no argument values {                                           statements of main are enclosed in braces.
printf("hello, world\n");           main calls library function printf to print this sequence of characters      }                                 \n represents the newline character The first C program

The statements of a function are enclosed in braces { }. The function main contains only one statement,


   #include <stdio.h>
main()   {     printf("hello, ");     printf("world");     printf("\n");   } to produce identical output. Notice that \n represents only a single character. An escape sequence like \n provides a general and extensible mechanism for representing hard-to-type or invisible characters. Among the others that C provides are \t for tab, \b for backspace, \" for the double quote and \\ for the backslash itself.
