Ever since I got a good PC my attention span with the consoles has really waned, but I still liked to play some Halo 3, Reach and Toy Soldiers with my friends before I finally kicked it.
Now, the new one is out and there is a massive... how do I put it, ragefest from people about it. A lot of people are not happy from what I'm hearing, but the bad does tend to show more than the good.
Basically, all the games are linked to your profile, and if you sell the physical copy to someone else, they need to pay a fee to 're-activate' it for their console. I'm also assuming that means you still have the permission to play that game forever right? So, Microsoft is fully cashing in on the used market since they get all the commission and pass it on to the developers. So, us humans in the real world and in dire straights can't trade things in for credit towards upgrades and games now?
/slowclap.
There is a lot more to rage about, but I'm not fully clued up yet.
Still watching this video to get an idea:
EDIT: Snipping, more foul language than expected. Look up Angry Rant and Xbox One on Youtube.
Better news: it'll do internet "phoning" homing every 24h :-)
Quote:Kotaku: If I’m playing a single player game, do I have to be online at least once per hour or something like that? Or can I go weeks and weeks?
Harrison: I believe it’s 24 hours.
Kotaku: I’d have to connect online once every day.
Harrison: Correct.
Okay, have fun...
Oh and I laughed watching that 'reveal event'. I mean come on - they've finally figured out how to switch from one application to another, that's something special! And voice recognition, which has been around for a very long time anyway. Yep, major improvements.
Don't forget the fact you have to install the games onto the consol, you can't just run it off the disc. XBox One is basically a PC that you plug into your TV with added money grabbing.
Still, atleast it doesn't have always on DRM ... but thats like saying atleast this knife thats been shoved in my eye was clean.

I thought the console IS the DRM. Why lock the game when you can lock the console?
Well, after the rumors I didn't really expect anything "pleasing" anyways, but THAT was like seeing Microsoft loading a pumpgun very very slowly, aiming at their own head and pulling the trigger...
Not that I really care... was never a Xbox guy, but it will hurt me as a future PS4 owner as well, because if Sony doesn't get a competitor - and damn it looks like that right now - they won't need to labour, because they are already the best choice for a "core gamer" who wants to own a console by far.
