PREDICTION: Microsoft will lose hard on this generation.

[AMDZen]

That guy is very annoying.

And 1000% accurate

 

[exdeath]

That guy is very annoying.

Good, it is not just me then. I don't know if it is the shirt, the hair, the beard, the voice, the bad impression of AVGN or all of it combined, but I could not watch a full minute of that vid. I would have a hell of a time dealing with the fact it is not legal to gut punch him, if I was in that room.

He's the kind of guy I'd love to have a beer with and talk shit abou things like Xbox.

Another nail in the Xbox coffin. Anti independent developer attitude. It really seems Microsoft is working hard to insure failure.

Those new games on the ps4 sure look interesting. Stuff you will not see on the Xbox one.

Microsoft allows you to share one game with up to 10 people. The details are still a little murky but this has the potential to be very good and better than traditional sharing.

Give your family access to your entire games library anytime, anywhere: Xbox One will enable new forms of access for families. Up to ten members of your family can log in and play from your shared games library on any Xbox One. Just like today, a family member can play your copy of Forza Motorsport at a friend’s house. Only now, they will see not just Forza, but all of your shared games. You can always play your games, and any one of your family members can be playing from your shared library at a given time.

there has to be more to this, whats the point of drm if you can practically give your game to 10 other people digitally? Thats like piracy isn't it? what the heck is going on down at ms?

 

[Midwayman]

Sell the code and have some sort of install from disc mechanism, perhaps? *shrugs* Sony's hedging on this matter really makes me suspicious sometimes.

That said, I think you're under-estimating what hardcore gamers usually have for broadband. I'd bet that if we ran a poll in this forum, most people would top 5mbit/s downloads, easily.

It'd be easy enough to sell a disc in store for $5-10 and tell them to purchase the DD licence on PSN. Disc becomes an optional delivery medium.

Only one of those 10 can play it at a time, so its no different than loaning out a disc.

because of stupid reasons such as these.


"For Xbox One [Microsoft has] granted us a license for New 'n' Tasty! but they still say you need a publisher. We don't have a publisher so we're not officially on the platform, even though we're compatible, even though we'll be ready to do it. Period.
"Why do we need a publisher when we self-finance our games, we build our own IP, we manage our own IP and we've turned nearly two million units online as indie publishers sold – not free downloads? Why? What's wrong with us?
"Who's in touch with their audience? And who seems out of touch with their audience? All we know is we've tried to get our games on their platform and we can't do it – and I even helped them release the box."
So it seems for now that Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty won't be coming to the Xbox One or 360, and DayZ creator Dean Hall has similar views when it comes to his plans for the standalone version of his popular mod.
"Yeah, we talked to both of them," he revealed. "But, as I'm sure you're aware, Sony lets you self-publish and they don't make you pay for updates. Microsoft requires you to have a publisher. They have no digital distribution strategy and they require you to pay $10,000, or whatever it is, for updates

"Family" sharing:

Besides only one person being able to play a game at a time, you are probably also sharing ALL of your purchases -- so if you're cost-splitting with other not-really-family people you have to be able to count on them not to break whatever rules you set up.

And if you aren't the "head" of the "family" you have to trust that the owner of the titles that you helped buy won't just dump you from the "faimly" list at some point, after you've given them a pile of cash.

From MSFT.

Xbox One will block activation of games if outside of the IP range of a supported country? What if i travel a lot? @XboxSupport

Xbox Support 2 ‏@XboxSupport2 12 Jun
@gi4ouR You'll be able to play when you return home. I travel with an Xbox 360 for road gaming. ^PS

https://twitter.com/gi4ouR/status/344929544492429313


So if you travel and bought an Xbox one for 500 dollars. you need to leave it home and take the 360 instead.

GTX 780. That's one holy HELL of a lot more power than their DDR3 pile of garbage.

Oh, and this should put to bed the tards that were like 'Xbone and PS4 are gonna be better than GTX TITAN ZOMG'. Hah.

Yeap. His playthroughs are also gold. Check his RE1 one out lol.

They're supposedly trying to operate under the steam model with a console. If that's really what they're trying to do, I honestly won't mind IF(and only if) like steam they offer up games for sale throughout the year for <$20 including their AAA titles.

The Facebook Amazon vote right now is hilarious.

Sony already does that on the PS3, including free games.

 

[Kromis]

I actually don't think Microsoft will fail this generation, not to the extent of Xbox vs. PS2. I am actually very happy that Sony has humbled themselves and try to cater to the gamers, considering that their gaming division is not making as much money as they would like. But in the case that the war is ostensibly turning out in Sony's favor, Microsoft won't go down without a fight. Their entertainment and devices division makes so much money that they can afford to take a hit (yes, I know this includes Windows Phone in it but hey, it's only Windows Phone). Hell, I can only hope Sony teaches Microsoft to be humble themselves or even better, Microsoft learns humility and humbleness on their own!

Except:
a) you can still play the game while the person being "loaned to" is playing and
b) discs can't travel thousands of miles instantaneously.

Yeah its a neat concept, esp if we see $29 launch AAA games (lol yeah right EA/Activision) but property rights and ownership (Eg the right to sell something reflects ownership) is more important to me.
