You don't have a choice. Everything is digital. The discs act as a means to validate you actually own it and that is about all. You don't play the game off the disc. The game is downloaded onto your HD.

Similar to on PC. You download the entire game onto your hard drive and don't need the disc anymore technically if you by disc based PC games.

I agree, Xbox One is a digital-only console, just like the future Steambox.

Which is just fine with me. I'd kill for my 360 library to act the same way, but it's not possible due to no disc registrations. I don't play any games that I haven't installed onto my hdd first. Reduced load times, less wear and tear on my drive, and less noise. And on the XB1 I get the benefit of digital with physical releases. Install game and take disc out forever...or at least until I need to reinstall it due to deleting the original install for space purposes.

Hell this is what I was hoping for when the original no used rumor popped up. All games get registered to one profile allowing for no disc play. It's just a shame they didn't stick to their guns and had to cut gamestop in to appease casual gamers that need to sell (to gamestop) which resulted in the dumb online check.

 

[Maximilian Kolbe]

That's a big gamble they're making, though. It makes things even more interesting. ^^

New generation=everything will reset,that's what they're betting,use bunch of exclusives to make people who against drm in the end still can't hold their wallet

 

[MusicGangATL]

would love access to the irc

 

[XtremeXpider]

Have you seen the price of the PS4 games on Amazon? WTF! $99.99!

I hope Xbox One will have lower prices, at least on digital form.

There seems to be no safe place to ask this, so I'll ask here.

Since games use the cloud, do we know how mich bandwidth it will use? For people with limited gb per month will just playing a game use up a ton of their allocation?

I suppose it will depend on how the developers use it, obviously. And since we have no clear idea of how they intend to use "the cloud" in the different games...
I don't think it will be their best interest to use a lot of bandwidth though. Because of network constraints, cloud processing is more interesting when you have to do big tasks on small data.

 

[XtremeXpider]

But it is almost the double from current games price, dat placeholder!

 

[canadian crowe]

True. Also what about when you're playing offline? Maybe it caches a lot of the cloud data? I dont know.

I come back on and no E3 2 day gif? I'm sad about this but I guess its still early for some skilled gif guy. I been thinking that we will see crackdown 3 (need it in my veins) epic games, Respawn, EA Skate 4!(believe!), some sorta transfer xbla games I think maybe MS will work some arcade sellers to make sure they work on the X1. If not that's cool but it would be a nice surprise.

The XBLA thing I don't mean free copies I mean that they will help convert a few big sellers to X1 maybe would be nice.

[derFeef]

Best gif ever.
And filename.

 

[LNBL]

I think it's safer for them to put it so much higher, instead of placing it on 30 or 40 and having consumers complain about the rise afterwards

 

[Dramos]

Any updates on the XBOX hype train?

 

[quickwhips]

That Alan Wake 2 I want it so bad. I hope remedy revisits this game.

Yeah i remember WiiU games were $99.99 before nintendo officially announce WiiU games price

 

[paynzee]

I'm very curious about what the new dashboard is going to look like, and if there really isn't any avatars anymore.

I heard someone mention that they wont be packing in a headset anymore, do we use the Kinect to chat with? If it still provides private chat, how will it be implemented on the Kinect?

So many unknowns, cant wait for E3.

 

[John Caboose]

Thank you. My final countdown gif will be something special as well...

EDIT: I'm going to try posting it later in the day (for me) so all you guys don't miss it like todays GIF.

They already showed the dash..

 

[Miles X]

360 dash I think he means.

IRC chat during the MS conference for if'/when GAF goes down.

Oh, cool.
Won't ask for an invitation, though, because I'll probably watch the conference with other people, and I won't control the computer.

 

[Klocker]

they said in the notes of policies that 1.5mps dl was recommended
to take advantage of cloud

[Bsigg12]

Does anyone think pre-ordering and pre-loading will be available on Xbox Live? I would be all for games preloading a day or two before launch on the Xbox One.

 

[Scanna]

where are the pictures of the boxes, the E3 bears and such? guys I have an exam 3 hours before the Microsoft Keynote, you should help me cope with this strange mixture of wait and anxiety with some pre-E3 crazyness c'mon

 

[Kajiba]

That would be nice. Midnight digital release would be cool too.

 

[Raide]

With Same Day DD launching, it would make sense to pre-load some of the bigger titles.

 

[John Caboose]

I'm so fucking psyched. Will be up all night on Monday watching every single conference! (I'm 9 hours ahead of PST). To increase the speed of the hype train I have something special for you all.

 

[ekim]

Do we know, if MS only wants to show exclusives in the conference?

 

[Vico]

Well, we still haven't had a proper COD demo, so they'll probably be there to open the conference.

I'm also expecting some stuff like a trailer for The Witcher 3 (the game is still not announced for One), and Fallout 4's announcement.

I think Acti is doing COD on their own? Was raising questions if MS would have a big showing like they usually do.

COD gameplay will be shown tomorrow (Sunday). Hosted by Geoff.

COD is having a event tomorrow that is going to be live stream.

Thanks, I knew I heard something.

edit: With MS buying exclusive on Respawn's game could Acti be a little angry?

The conferences are the best place to show the games. Activision doesn't have enough games to make a conference.
Destiny is at Sony's, so COD will probably be at Microsoft's.

See above. And the counter to Destiny is TitanFall. Sure only one is exclusive but they're both new IPs.

 

[Vico]

Edit: well then. Ok. Missed this.

COD gameplay will be shown tomorrow (Sunday). Hosted by Geoff.

 

[TRios Zen]

I wonder how much time MS will spend on the 360 this year?

For that matter have we any idea how long the conference is?

 

[demosthenes]

90 minutes - 2 hours.

 

[LNBL]

90 minutes of games games games

 

[Dark_AnNiaLatOr]

It's 1 hour and 30 minutes long.

 

[yankeehater]

A 5 minute sizzle real of upcoming games would be my guess.

 

[Klocker]

yep good idea makes sense as it would keep loads more balanced also...

 

[TRios Zen]

90 minutes - 2 hours.

Hmmm, in that time they have to cover the plans for the 360, then games specifically for the new Kinect (if any) and games for the Xbox One.

Here's to hoping the don't spend too much Kinect only games.

 

[ekim]

Ok... I'm sure I'm late but here are my predictions:
- TitanFall
- Mirrors Edge 2
- Mad Max or Just Cause 3
- Fallout 4
- Crackdown 3
- New Fable
- Ryse
- Forza 5 gameplay
- PGR5 for 360
- New epic game. (Maybe only fortnite)
- New unknown IP (Black Tusk)
- Killer Insinct or Bloodwake successor
- several smaller Kinect titles (sports and family stuff)

That's more than enough for 90 minutes

 

[SCHUEY F1]

I wish the 360 mini rumors would be true. I would like to plug it into the One and have BC that way.

 

[Klocker]

It's 1 hour and 30 minutes long.

isn't there also another hour on after that for just game demos?

 

[Mrbob]

I wonder how much time MS will spend on the 360 this year?

I'm guessing MS spends 15 to 20 minutes on 360. Most of it has to be on the Xbone.

 

[ekim]

isn't there also another hour on after that for just game demos?

Oh really? So the conference for announcements and 1 hour extra for gameplay of announced games?

 

[DarkCloud]

Thanks, I knew I heard something.

Considering they just indefinitely extended their Xbox platform get's all CoD DLC first deal...I think Activision isn't all that worried.
