Xbox One Will Not Require Internet, Restrict Used Games - IGN

official now on IGN as well. Looks like that ruins the ability to have friends play your shared games free... great that microsoft listened to the complaints and changed their standing. But not great that people dont get all their facts straight before complaining and jumping on the bandwagon.

It's great that ms responded... After sony publicly shamed them lol


But honestly, it was a smart move for them to reverse course. Credit is due.

The new Xbox is wack. Time for Playstation to take over. Almost every single xboxer I know is switching. Its over priced, underpowered and trying to appeal to a broader audience which will drive away their faithful. I will say though, the stuff Ive seen showing off Microsoft Lightroom looks pretty cool. Im a die hard ps fan and will revel in the demise of the xbox. Although, my ps3 has been collecting dust since I finally opened my eyes to the PC gaming world. I built a nice rig and while I will have a ps4 I dont think Ill see myself console gaming much.

Speaking of PC rigs, my 560ti's are long in the tooth. So is my 1366 board... Just can't get myself to give up on my 980X just yet though!

I think it was a cowards way out. What they needed to try and do was clearly explain everything to people in the coming months. People are so pig headed though who knows if it would have worked. We are now probably losing some great features because of this.



This This is going to be a case of getting what you asked for.

All Sony did was capitalize on the public's stupidity. A better reverse course would have been to actually explain themselves better and hope people grasped it better.

Im sorry but this entire post sounds arrogant and ignorant. Your a "die hard fan" which basically means good or bad you will stick behind a product.

The Xbox One underpowered? The way the power is used is on a level Sony could only dream of. You need to understand how the Xbox One is going to work before you make blind accusations about it. The PS4 has bigger on paper numbers, big deal. The way the Xbox allocates RAM and Cloud Computing is light years ahead of the extra Speed/Power of the PS4's GPU.

I will get a Xbox one but I will not get it on release I will wait a few months and let Microsoft work out all the little bugs.

I made the mistake and got the Xbox 360 on release. The first got 3 rings of death, 2nd= 3 rings of death, and 3rd has lasted the last 7 years. It def sounds like it is on its last leg tho. Hopefully Microsoft does not do like they when they first released the 360 and offer some shitastic warranty and just stick with the 1 year.

Hmmm, I believe I even complimented Lightroom in that post. Sorry, but most Xbox owners I know are planning on switching, that's just a fact from what Ive experienced. Not to mention what just about ever Xboxer I see posts in comments sections below EVERY article I read. Now that Microsoft realized that the once a day internet connection and no trading of games was a miserable idea they may regain some support. Didn't mean to hurt the Xbox fanboys in here. Its cool, once the systems hit the market we will see what unfolds.

Holy crap I wish we could re do the poll with these new Xbox policies. That was huge. I never thought such a huge corporation would actually change their stance. They allow MORE freedom to do as you please than the PS4 it seems.

$100 more and you get Kinect 2 with it? How are ppl complaining about that? This is a system you'll have (and for Xbox One's case use even after you're over console gaming with its tv integration) for so long. Ppl dish out $500 every year for new cell phones. That's the price of a new game and controller! And if you get the PS4 camera (which is vastly inferior) it's a $50 difference. Get over it!

Their specs a nearly identical, with Xbox One having the edge in cloud based gaming, which puts the load on servers instead of your Xbox.

They're both cool systems. Neither one destroys the other (unless you want entertainment integration).

I missed the console war drama. I hope it's always like this every 7ish years.

PS4 winning cause the simple fact it is going to cheaper to play online. Just like I tell everyone I work with who is all about the PS3 with the Xbox you are paying to play with quality players and a quality network.

Mr&Mrs

Please read all my posts if you have not.

Sorry if I sounded harsh but some of what you said is exactly why (myself included) people were so confused. I am no fan boy and never sounded like one in any of my posts, maybe the first one, but it was just explaining my past wit the Xbox. The rest were trying to give everyone clear details as I found them and not media/internet hype.

I love the PS3 for the use I get out of it and will be purchasing a PS4 as well. The majority of your friends were probably jumping on the hate wagon because it is the easiest thing to do. Until I started to really dig I was almost converted as well. I say that as a supporter of both systems how ever as I mentioned before, I want the best online gaming environment. Im rolling my dice with Microsoft again.

What is great about the Kinect having to be used and worth 100.00 in my opinion is simple and has been mentioned by many in the industry. With the Kinect always being there from the beginning there is no reason for developers to not use the technology. They know every Xbox One owner is going to have one. So why not develop for it?

This is going to push technology further and enhance gaming on all levels. The only way it will fail is if they can not fully integrate it with top shelf games, no one wants bunch of kiddy Wii style games.

I have thought about the times in games where I have gotten real excited, tense, scared, etc. in games. How cool it will be for the Kinect to see those emotions by facial recognition or via the heart rate monitor. Then actively change the game to those conditions.

I cant wait to see what comes over the next few years.
