I'm just hoping for a price and release date tomorrow so I can go pre-order it. Apparently Gamestop was informed to prepare for "staying open late Monday or early on Tuesday" for something. I'm guessing system pre-orders? There's no way they will pull an Apple and drop the system this week...with 0 games.

Re: Xbox One: This Thread Requires An Always On Internet Connection
If they don't tell us the price now, how will we have time to get second jobs to pay for the consoles?

Re: Xbox One: This Thread Requires An Always On Internet Connection
So at what point during the conference will some Internet douche in attendance disrupt the proceedings?

Re: Xbox One: This Thread Requires An Always On Internet Connection
I sure hope they actually show some games for this console. Maybe that is the biggest secret of all. Maybe there are no actual games being made for it.

Fuel for the fire from neogaf via CAG:
- MS's paying devs to not mention the PS4 version of games. If they don't mention exclusivity for Xbone, assume it's on PS4 - Stage 2 of DRM talk to be at Gamescom, no rental strategy (that's a lie), stage 1 was Thursday, and a clusterfuck - Cloud processing is just for DRM. MS approached third parties, EA/Ubi really behind it, Activision not so much (and he doesn't get why) - DRM is going to be much worse than it is now, but no one's saying how - Mirror's Edge 2, remake Prince of Persia, Word of Tanks (exclusive) to be at MS Conference - Paywall for XBL confirmed, even for F2P - Dead Rising 3 to be at MS conference + one other Capcom game, both get exclusive Xbone DLC - No online paywall for Sony - Sony isn't talking DRM, hasn't leaked Its so much worse than you guys think....So much worse. |

Should be interesting to see what I come home to today. Will be taking my son and wife to the Museum of Science & Industry here. Can't wait to see the carnage :)

Re: Xbox One: This Thread Requires An Always On Internet Connection
Too bad about the source. Just saying.
|
Re: Xbox One: This Thread Requires An Always On Internet Connection
Is that the source on NeoGAF who speaks entirely in text speak?
|
Re: Xbox One: This Thread Requires An Always On Internet Connection
I guess. KingBroly on CAG shared it. Link is above.

Re: Xbox One: This Thread Requires An Always On Internet Connection
I've no idea how reputable that source is, but just skimmed some bits of the thread. If MS truly requires people to buy a Gold membership to pay any games at all, I can't imagine how they don't lose this generation in a landslide.

Not all doom and gloom yet, just something to pass the time until showtime. :) |

Re: Xbox One: This Thread Requires An Always On Internet Connection
Nothing I've read makes anything sound any worse than the earlier rumors. Microsoft is avoiding direct questions because, frankly, their strategy is a cluster fuck of ineptitude, which is par for the course during every Microsoft beta phase (being the first 6 - 8 months of release).

I look forward to Kane & Lynch 5. Seriously how is used games/resale preventing developers from creating better and better games currently? Hint: it's not. A shit game idea will always be a shit game idea. Used games are a scapegoat for piss poor ideas to begin with.
I understand the skepticism here but honestly until they are given a chance with this new model of distribution I have to reserve judgement. That seems fair. It wouldn't prevent crap games but it would allow them to take more chances with a new IP since the distribution costs become little to none. Exactly. With $60 digital titles that have limited resale value, people will buy less. Hell under this model, instead of people buying an untested franchise like Bioshock, they'll sit tight for three weeks until Halo 3 comes out. Why take a chance on an unknown game like Borderlands when you can just wait for CoD? They can take more chances with pricing models since they know they will receive compensation throughout the life cycle of the title instead of only getting them from initial sales. I may not buy used, but like many I'll sell to fund another new purchase. So MS/pubs may not be getting a part of my sale of Assassin's Creed III on half.com, but that money is going toward Tomb Raider. They take away my sale of ACIII then TR doesn't get purchased. You are still thinking in a tangible medium. Forget about plastic discs/carts. The small minded "kill used, kill used, kill used" is astounding. They're trying to gain consumers that never bought new, and will never buy new by killing the revenue stream for the loyal consumers that do buy new. Doesn't seem to be hurting Steam. |
Re: Xbox One: This Thread Requires An Always On Internet Connection
Everything you just said sounds perfectly reasonable...which is why it seems unlikely MS would do any of it. ;)

System is off set with cheaper prices and anytime you re-sub you get your library back plus DLC incentives to bring you back. I HAVE TO REITERATE I ONLY HAVE THIS FROM ONE PERSON |

I think steam works because we all know that our library will be around until valve shuts down. If Microsoft came out and told us that our xbox one library will carry over to every Microsoft console afterwards, there might be less complaining.
But Steam wins because it's hardware agnostic. It'll work on any PC, and also works cross-platform with Mac and Linux for some games, meaning you can play the game on any PC hardware it's compatible with, without rebuying. It also helps that Steam doesn't have a monopoly on game downloads for PC. They're certainly the largest, but the threat of competition means they have to work hard to stay the largest, mainly by pleasing the consumer. MS can piss off all Xbox users, but if those users want to play downloaded games on Xbox, they have no choice but to give MS money. |
Re: Xbox One: This Thread Requires An Always On Internet Connection
Only thing that would make a "day one edition" desirable is if it didn't have DRM bullshit.
