They don't need to, not with ms doing what its doing. Although it is kinda worrying.

They could land a heymaker at their conference by announcing they are not doing any of this stuff Microsoft is doing. Land that message to millions of people at once, and Microsoft has already made their bed.
 
I don't get why World of Tanks being behind Gold is that big of a deal anyways. Most people who buy the Xbox One will probably pay for Gold. I mean, I don't think it's a good decision, but it's miles away from the BS they're pulling with DRM and Used Games. It's the kind of thing Microsoft would have done with the 360 anyways.

It being a big reveal is lulzy, though I'm not sure why Microsoft would do that if they have stuff like Dead Rising 3 and Mirror's Edge 2 to reveal.

Don't worry about sounding like a fanboy. Xbox One is the first console in the industries history where actively hating it doesn't make you a fanboy; it just makes you in possession of all the facts.

TRUTHFACT. I keep thinking Microsoft cannot get shittier but here we are again.

I know CBOAT is as truthfact as can be, but I can't comprehend how MS's DRM can get worse than what has already been mentioned.

I just can't.

Imagine Microsoft basically forcing people to buy Xbox Live Gold to simply play a game and keep progress for over a couple weeks or month.

You know whats the best news about next gen? Seems like outside of first party, mostly every game is popping up on pc as well.
Click to expand...

this is mostly true, but i worry about some of the games that come out of japan. im sure almost all western stuff will end up on PC, but a lot of japanese stuff doesnt seem to. fortunately the most important japanese games (souls games) seem to be headed in that direction.

  • What if Silver members for Xbox One don't even get 24 hours for authentication, instead you have to be online at all times just to launch the game after installing it.
  • You have to digitally re-install the game after a month for up to date authentication
  • If a game isn't updated, you can't play it, period.
  • You have to be a gold member to buy DLC.
  • Silver members have up to a month for keeping saves, must be a gold member to keep saves for a longer period. All save games are required to be placed on the cloud, Silver members get less space or slots in the cloud.

Just rattling off ideas on how the DRM situation could get even worse.

They might as well lose Silver at that point.
 
Thanks Mr Buttocks! You earned your rest. Now lay low for a while ok?

Nothing earth shattering. I was expecting some Ubi games. I expect they will show some next gen Clancy at MS as well.

Curious what Mirrors Edge 2 looks like coming out of current EA. I expect something darker and gritty with dubstep and Kinect. Oh and full campaign coop and multiplayer.

Dead Rising 3 is ehh. They completely botched making that IP a successful multiplat IP with 2's crazy xbox exclusive pre-DLC and that shitty Wii game.

Putting F2P behind GOLD sure is very.... Microsoft. I bet we only ever see a handful of those games on the platform.

BUT what would you say if I told you the other Capcom game with xbone exclusive DLC was Deep Down? That would be a very Capcom thing to do wouldn't it.

  • Unless you're Gold member you have to pay 1$ to activate/deactivate a second hand copy
  • If you fail to check every 24 hours a few times, you will be banned automatically for 3 days

If this is true, which I don't doubt, we're in drawn-and-quartered, ash scattering, salted fields territory here.

We're talking ripping out tongues levels of madness. Removing terms and names from our lexicon and replacing them with "that shall not be named" as we make the sign of the X button over our chest.

Building anti-statues so that nobody can forget.

Shit is wild.

Microsoft's press release about their online and used games policies seem to correlate with what CBOAT is saying about Microsoft not really having a plan, and intending to just brush it under the rug.

Loaning or renting games won’t be available at launch, but we are exploring the possibilities with our partners.

This is pretty much what Sony said about using Gaikai to stream games for backwards compatiblity (or PS3 games). I think their phrase was 'In the future, we'll be exploring possibilites...'

I don't believe that's coming anytime soon, or ever.

Oh, this is awesome news then!
 
Cleared up my schedule tomorrow just to see the Microsoft conference. I just have to see what sort of plan they have to make consumers forget about all the draconian policies embedded in the Xbox One.

Hmm, I could see bullshit like that for heavily played multiplayer games. Because lol server costs trolllololol
 
If it is one thing I find unbelievable it is DRM is actually worse on the Xbone. Can I not watch tv after 24 his too? Does the kinect record everything I do offline and send it to MS at check in?

Maybe I'm being a bit paranoid here but....people are still going to buy the XBONE anyway, aren't they?
Click to expand...

Yep. We can hope it won't sell well, but I'm sure the console will suffer shortages in the first months. Xbox brand became strong enough in America.

Europe is another history.
