He was fired for bringing very bad press and conducting himself inappropriately with the public, I imagine. Whether always online was true or not was not the issue.
Yep.

The firing of Adam Orth pretty much confirmed the rumor of durnago being always online for me. It is going to take an official announcement from MS to make me think differently.
I value real actions taken by corporations over questionable rumors.

:lol

It's better that you spend that money on Xbox than on hookers.
It's only $299*!
If you have any kids, just say you really want PS4, but the kids really want Xbox.
Or a second job
Or a different wife
Or sell one of those kids
Yeah I agree with that I'm mostly thinking about how dumb the guy was to go to war on a feature that may have never existed.
The console better not be fucking glossy or else I'll be offended and cancel my preorder.Kinect
Apps
the D-Pad
Netflix
Steve Ballmer's face
Halo
Forza
Gears of War
You name it, GAF has it!
16GBs GDDR5 or bust.I never believed this rumor, I'm sure Microsoft never even CONSIDERED making the NextBox Online Only.
Now watch on the 21st when Microsoft shows that they AREN'T 6 months behind, and they were never scrambling over the PS4 reveal. Hell I wouldn't be surprised if we were wrong the whole time and Microsoft has a trumph card themselves (like 8GBs GDDR5 RAM)
You forgot the part where he was alluding to MS accepting they're behind, the part where Durango gets an upgrade to GDDR5? I mean why hold ourselves back, lets throw in Dual-APU in there, 16 gigs of RAM, 2TB HDD, Oculus Rift 2.0 etc.He is right, you think MS is going to change something based on a vocal minority on the internet?
He is right!!!!16GBs GDDR5 or bust.
Assuming ars article is right and next xbox is not "internet connection required", then, Kotaku source was wrong (3 minutes if internet is lost), and maybe another rumors from Kotaku are wrong too.

According to one source in a position to know, the recent drama involving former Microsoft creative director Adam Orthwhose controversial defense of "always on" triggered widespread Internet outrageenergized parties at Microsoft who have always been against the idea of an always-online console. This may have triggered a shift in policy at Microsoft. We reached out to the Xbox makers for comment, and we'll update should we hear back from them.
Devkit restriction?
Your post was dumb as fuck, thats why I took it to heart. Maybe you should stick to being reasonable with your posts instead of ending them with fanboy rubbish.
My point is that Microsoft doesn't have the best track record, and I agree, this is definitely good news. I hope the next good news is that LIVE is free.
Juancho9 said:Definitely Sony. They can make some really stupid decisions, but always at least seem to be humbled by them.
We are gamers and Microsoft has never really been pro gamer or consumer so while we trash Sony for being stupid at times, at least Sony isn't working against in the manner that Microsoft is.
Because being hopeful about anything Microsoft does that's pro consumer is the right way to go...
Every gen it's always the same from xbox fans and their fantasy tales of what "could be" or "would it be so cool" only to have Microsoft do the same shafting every time. How LIVE as a service doesn't get more shit is beyond me, but hey, they found some people willing to pay for it so I guess they just do it to themselves.
The fact that Xbox live is a scam in itself and then the contract is a twisted knife.
It doesn't have to be. Xbox Live is a fucking scam. But no, as a hardcore gaming community, let's just accept it and not show any disdain for a company that tries to take advantage of us.
I'm a PS4 fanboy, but lord, you are a special kind of ****.
I say the F, G and N words in real life, but I'd say I'm much more of an asshole on the internet.
"Durango [the codename for the next Xbox] is designed to deliver the future of entertainment while engineered to be tolerant of today's Internet." It continues, "There are a number of scenarios that our users expect to work without an Internet connection, and those should 'just work' regardless of their current connection status. Those include, but are not limited to: playing a Blu-ray disc, watching live TV, and yes playing a single player game."
Yeah...I'm going to guess that's not the reason why you got so butt-hurt at my post. This is hilarious.
Calm down Juancho.
Better be true. Also, that $15 a month for Xbox Live also better not be in Microsoft's plans.
I'm not saying they'll have GDDR5 RAM, but that they will pull something no on expected (Just like Sony did with 8GB GDDR5 RAM) I don't know if it'll be a better CPU, or GPU, or more RAM than people expected, or maybe full backwards compatibility, or maybe Microsoft will have some GDDR5 RAM themselves, but I'm willing to bet Microsoft will surprise a few people.16GBs GDDR5 or bust.
Sorry, it's hard for me to be negative when on GAF most rumors turned out to be negative, and whenever we get positive rumors news, those are always fake, because no way rumors can be positive. Always Online has now be debunked, after months of everyone saying "NO WAY IT'LL NO BE ALWAYS ONLINE. MICROSOFT DOOMED.", I can't wait till we find out all those other negative rumors aren't true. The only rumor I see being true is Kinect being always required.:lol

HDMI -In feature confirmed ???
So they caved in or what?
Heh. No kidding. This shit is old.The usual suspects shitting up another durango thread, are you guys at least on a payroll?
Not confirmed, but I hope it s true, I really like a feature like this.

How could they cave when we don't know what they were doing to begin with? Jesus, everyone slow down and think.

I trust that Ars Technica did their due diligence but I'm going to wait until I hear it from the horse's mouth.

Yeah, but this E3 launch time feels way more stupid than the runup to X360/PS3/Wii. I blame the influx of bad posters that have been bringing down the collective IQ of NeoGAF.
So who would you guys trust more?
Ars or EDGE?
That seals it, coming back to Xbox next gen.
That + there's no way they could react so quickly and change something so fundamental in a system they've been working on for years lol
Don't drag peoples post history out, answer arguments or ignore instead. Geez.
