Won't stop MS from claiming it is, all the while actually meaning it simply has exclusive kinnect features.
In the previous generation a lot of their "exclusives" were actually "timed exclusives". I don't remember the exact games off hand but there were several that were "exclusive" and the company didn't say a single word about the PS release. Then exactly one year later they showed up on PS3.
Exactly. I can see one of the consoles ponying up for at least a timed exclusive.
As someone with a projector, I'm not running a 30' cable just to satisfy a requirement for the console to run. If I can plug it in and dump it behind the entertainment rack with the power brick, then we'll see. The fact that you can turn everything about the Kinect off, but can't unplug it is quite simply, horseshit. If a user can turn it off, let them unplug it. It has nothing to do with "some games might have features" and everything to do with spying on your gaming habits because they know most people won't turn those features off.

Batten Down the Hatches, we're in for a bumpy ass ride.
- MS's paying devs to not mention the PS4 version of games. If they don't mention exclusivity for Xbone, assume it's on PS4
- Stage 2 of DRM talk to be at Gamescom, no rental strategy (that's a lie), stage 1 was Thursday, and a cluster
- Cloud processing is just for DRM. MS approached third parties, EA/Ubi really behind it, Activision not so much (and he doesn't get why)
- DRM is going to be much worse than it is now, but no one's saying how
- Mirror's Edge 2, remake Prince of Persia, Word of Tanks (exclusive) to be at MS Conference
- Paywall for XBL confirmed, even for F2P
- Dead Rising 3 to be at MS conference + one other Capcom game, both get exclusive Xbone DLC
- No online paywall for Sony
- Sony isn't talking DRM, hasn't leaked
Am I misunderstanding this? According to the OP on that thread, instead of third parties coming to Microsoft and Sony for DRM, Microsoft went to third parties with this plan?
Yep that's what he says. If anyone else didn't read it, he also says MS has no plans for game renting and that the DRM is worse than what we currently know about. Good stuff.
And if the cloud processing is purely for DRM, like the OP suggests, would that mean the cloud making up for processing (or whatever it's supposed to do exactly) would be a lie?
^Explanation from Maxis on why Sim City requires the cloud.
^Explanation from Respawn on why Titanfall requires the cloud.
Basically implying that if your Gold sub runs out, all games tied to your account (so basically all your games) stop working.
I don't think one has anything to do with the other. Points still work on the 360. They're probably moving to an all currency model for Xbone and are trying to squeeze every last drop out of gamers before it launches between sales on points and sales on the marketplace (that we now know will never work on the xbone).
Truth be told it's got the ring of truth of it...
I'll likely look at Amazon before GS... Trust Amazon more and I know I can cancel later.
Well, not preordering would send a bigger message and give them a chance to change their ways. Preordering and then cancelling would just be a big "
you", and send Microsoft spiraling. Of those two options, I think option two is more likely to happen...but we'll see if people actually follow through with cancelling. One thing gamers do very well is bitch and complain. What they don't do well is resist temptation. We'll see if people still have the same "principles" in November.
I don't see that, I just see the placeholder message. Although I would rather some pre NiN.
Yeah, I'm still trying to get use to it... Then again I'm so use to typing on the code myself that is really, really, hard not to do it...
Yeah, I cannot find the Sony Conference on anywhere on my cable box... Guess I'll try to have to do a stream of it.
i doudt it
the group under rare making the new fps is some of the people that left IW once that team broke up and they made mw1 and mw2 two of the best fps on this current gen im kind of hyped for that
