Xbox One achievements will not be recorded unless devs want it

4.5
Xbox One’s DVR recording function was said to capture every single achievement you unlock earlier this week. Microsoft has now clarified the matter to say that it’s a feature that devs need to turn on in their games first.

Microsoft’s Albert Penello took to NeoGAF to clarify the matter and said, “It won’t be automatic for every Achievement. It’s a feature that Developers can unlock for achievements, OR, for instance, have hidden in the game for doing something cool or discovering something hidden.

“Basically we allow developers access to GameDVR and they can put conditions on an automatic recording.

“But not every Achievement will automatically be recorded.”

Well, that puts an end to yet another Xbox One rumour. But still, do you think it’s a neat feature?

It's a cool feature, I may use it a few times if I find what I am doing is cool.

Really? I'm saying its good and I'm not a fanboy, you're obviously a fanboy to Sony or PC.

And the achievement hunters are happy. Sorry you're not.


how does this make me a pc or ps3 fanboy?


Either since you're obviously stating only xbox fans say this is good.

There is no reason for them to be recorded anyway

There are a lot of mixed reviews, I personally think the whole idea is kind of pointless

Bankshot This will stop acievement modders :)


How will it stop them now? Lol


Because they can enable it and have it be looked at??


Basically we allow developers access to GameDVR and they can put conditions on an automatic recording.

But not every Achievement will automatically be recorded.

So that means that if the Dev doesn't feel like using the feature nobody else is going to go look to see if the achievement was legit or not....

So that comment would of made sense on the first news article about this before it was clarified, it's not something that they will just toggle on or off it'll either be always on or off
