The old XBO would not have had that problem. Microsoft would know what games you own, and would be able to restore all of those games to any future consoles you buy. And since the XBO is x86-based, it might even be possible for MS to release emulators in the future, and let you play your library on your PC, without…

I don't really get your reply to ualdayan. How would it have been negative to give users a choice (treating discs one way and digital another)? Let consumers decide what they want and what is truly better. Even if consumers choose the option that you think is worse (I disagree with you), how would that negatively…

Unfortunately gadget geeks are entirely too self absorbed to consider how the 24 hour checks would effect a large number of consumers. I can say, from experience, that while military members may only accompany 1% of the country, almost 100% of them own consoles.

I've been repeating this all over, but if you think this was caving to whiners rather than pre-orders, I think you're kidding yourself.

The ironic part is, Gadget people are/should be more inclined to fight over hardware because gadgets are different yet similar, whilst gamers should be happy about anything gaming related. Seeing as all they should give a fuck about is games. Instead we get the "PS4 VS Xbox One herp derp" arguments.

Shut your fucking mouth you retard. There is ZERO innovation in draconian DRM policies.

Only a real sucker would pay for "innovation" with their consumer rights.

By "long term consequences" I mean a decade down the line when the servers get shut down...they claim there's some kind of safeguard in place to make sure an entire generation's worth of games don't become coasters but I want to hear specifics because this is a damn important issue.

You dont get it, do you? The PS4 will have NO MORE restrictions than PS3/360 games have now. Publishers can restrict multiplayer, but they cant tie their game to your account, forcing a friend, or a used game buyer to "unlock" the game on their account like the Xbone. Besides that, the biggest offender of those online…

The PS4 has the same policy as the PS3. It is up to the publisher. People seem to not realize the PS3 and 360 had that same policy. Xbox One is the only one to change that.

My fanboy sense is tingling!

Narrative ey? Sounds like somebody learned some fancypantsy words from the Nintendo article. They don't apply here though.

Not really, the only exclusives they showed worth talking about were Titanfall, which is coming to PC, and Dead Rising 3, which we all know will end up on other platforms eventually, in some Zombie Killin' Remix version. Capcom is only exclusive as long as the bag of money MS hands them requires them to be. The Halo…

They could release the best video game of all time and I would still have to sit this one out because I can't support Microsoft's policies.

Sony cares more about getting the indie devs though. They're the reason Thomas Was Alone and Hotline Miami are coming to PSN. Hell, they're the reason the awesome Unfinished Swan even exists.

I don't give half a fuck about how many games they have if the games don't look interesting. The only one of Microsoft's exclusives which looked interesting was the Insomniac one... and that's not enough to make me overlook Microsoft's shitty anti-consumer practices.

"• Used Games: You heard? Sony has now said it's up to the publisher, just like X1.
(and first party games will be allowed to resell for X/PS , X is also thinking of allowing
you to sell back digital downloads) Sony kind of lied about this at first, its going to be exactly the same."

Here's a list of the games. I was surprised also but it does include games we already knew about. So I guess you can say Microsoft did in fact announce the most exclusives.

No. No they didn't. Do xboners really believe this? Aside from the obvious winner (Sony), Ubisoft's conference was better. Hell Nintendo's wasn't anything special and even that was better. Just because they announced Halo and a Halo rip off doesn't mean it was better.
