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.

Much more at the link.

Megaton?

 

[scarybore]

How generous!

#dealwithit

 

[tnaden]

What...

I don't even know anymore ._.

It's like they shot themselves in the foot, decided it wasn't good enough and decided to chop off the entire leg.

Seriously, this was supposed to be the day MS straightened out all the bad rumours going around, not confirming them.

 

[Omikaru]

I gets worse and worse...

 

[sTeLioSco]

i don't believe it

 

[Eldon]

Or what? I can't play games?

The hole is getting deeper.

 

[dr3upmushroom]

Or what?

Guessing it'll just give you a "Requires internet connection" screen.

 

[Moral Panic]

It's over.

 

[enzo_gt]

There you go.

There is the "always online" DRM for you.

It's all over folks.

'Merica says fuck you 3rd world.

I live in the 3rd World (Brazil), but even in America the internet connection quality isn't that good.

 

[PhatSaqs]

lmao cant wait for the next Sony interview asking about these same things.

 

[macewank]

wait. what?

 

[Toki767]

No buy.

 

[zerokoolpsx]

What happens if you can't sign on within 24 hours?

 

[CronoShot]

Is this the real life

 

[Cidd]

lol

 

[Yawnier]

I can just picture this bastard right now.

 

[Foffy]

How, how, how, how, HOW, HOW, H O W is this shit getting worse?

 

[chubigans]

Someone ask Xbox Support if this is true!!

 

[Tourmeta]

So if internet goes off for over 24 hours, I' be locked from playing further? Joy.

 

[CoachKevin]

They are really causing some bad buzz with using semantics with all this stuff. It makes it even worse when the clarified, "truth" comes out.

 

[StuBurns]

Fuck that.

 

[hardcastlemccormick]

HOW DOES THIS KEEP GETTING WORSE.

 

[Kusagari]

Every fucking rumor was true.

Every fucking one. And someone most of them ended up being even worse than they seemed.

 

[Uno Venova]

Better than 3 minutes!

 

[legacyzero]

This just keeps getting better and better.

 

[Mr. Poolman]

Or what?

Explodes and kills your family of course.

 

[Hypron]

Wait what?

 

[Guevara]

Better and better.

 

[Kazuma Kiryu]

oh my god. this generation is going to be awesome.

HARRISON IS HERE TO DESTROY MICROSOFT FROM THE INSIDE

 

[alr1ght]

holy shit

 

[Nirolak]

i don't believe it.sorry.no.

He's a high ranking Microsoft executive.

 

[BlazingDarkness]

 

[El Sloth]

This thing just keeps sounding better and better.

 

[Appleman]

Not a big deal for me, my Internet has been down for more than a day exactly zero times since broadband became a thing, I think the benefit of always online and cloud services outweighs the negatives.

 

[Mpl90]

Every minute, there's something worse. Amazing.

 

[KojiKnight]

Oh wow! The hits just keep on coming!! I thought I was done walking into disappointing/insulting X1 threads today...

 

[Mung]

This is getting funnier and funnier. It's was an inevitable day in retrospect, despite the cryptic comments etc.

 

[I NEED SCISSORS]

So is this tied with Saturn yet as the worst console reveal of all time?

 

[Deified Data]

That's it, I'm going to go ahead and classify this as always-online at this point. There's effectively very little difference.

So is this tied with Saturn yet as the worst console reveal of all time?

Worse. Saturn's release was uneventful and understated, this is just unrelentingly negative.

 

[Baller. PhD]

IT CAN'T ACTUALLY BE THIS HORRIBLE

LOL

OMG

I'M LAUGHING MY ASS OFF OVER HERE

 

[Nakazato]

It gets worst and worst
