q:Simple question. Do you plan to make Xbox LIVE available worldwide, or it will remain available to a number of selected countries?

A /




Major Nelson (Larry Hryb):
Good question....we are working hard at making Xbox LIVE available in as many regions as possible. Currently we are in 41 countries.




USA USA

Man Sim City killed their plans. If that hadn't happened we were going to hear so much more about Azure and how the cloud could perform complex calculations with its "infinite power." Now they mention it as an aside.

Yeah, if you read in between the lines, it gives the impression this console was originally going to be always-connected 24/7 to play any game.

 

[Carl]

"WIll you make XBL available in every country?"

"GOOD QUESTION. RIGHT NOW IT'S IN 41 COUNTRIES"

yeah cool...:|

THE INFINITE POWER OF COPY PASTE

 

[Desty]

So who is paying for all this cloud tech? MS is just providing it for every game for free?

 

[Beren]

Ok i really dislike when companies say nonsense like "the power of the cloud"

 

[Various Artists]

Wait two dudes started with "simple question" These are all fucking staged questions. What a fucking farce.

 

[Archaix]

Yes....thats the question on everyones lips /rolleyes

It's actually a really good question because it affects whether the majority of owners can even use it properly where they normally play games.

His answer, though...

Major Nelson (Larry Hryb): It does. It has a much wider field of view which will allow it work in smaller spaces.
4:38

Major Nelson (Larry Hryb): a 1080p wider field of view even!

A...a what?

 

[FiveMinuteHero]

Good question he told me! Pity the answer sucked.

 

[Zombie James]

So he's answering questions by just pasting PR statements? Pathetic.

 

[Rebel Leader]

Is this cleverbot

Atleast cleverbot acknowledged me as GOD

 

[Hatten]

No B/C.

At all? not even planned?

Man is so great that X360 hw turned out to be so reliable (/sarcasm)

How long until the last working X360 bites the dust?

 

[Hot Coldman]

If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a question

 

[Andrew.]

You see what happens Larry when you fuck a gamer in the ass?

Comment From Joe
Hi Larry. There seems to be some confusion in the media on how frequently users must connect to the internet to use the Xbox One. Will this be as frequent as once a day as rumored or will we be able to use the console for extended periods of time without an active connection? Thank you.

Non answer:

Major Nelson (Larry Hryb):
Answer: No. It does not have to be always connected but it does require an internet connection.

How does this even come close to answering the question.

MORE HILARITY!

http://www.gamesradar.com/indies-may-not-be-able-self-publish-xbox-one/

"Xbox One is a platform that allows all creators, including those who work on games and apps, regardless of team size, funding, business model, etc. to take advantage of unique capabilities to build amazing experiences that push the limits of technology,"

And today:

"We're working on a plan for Xbox One is a platform that allows all creators, including those who work on games and apps, regardless of team size, funding, biz model, etc. to be a part of the future of Xbox One."

Failed copy/paste with the hilarious sentence structure!

No WAY. What the hell is going on here, hahaha

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

[3rdamention]

Major Nelson used DODGE.

It's super effective!

Isn't dodge a PS4 exclusive?

[jmdajr]

I keep reading this and it still makes no fucking sense to me.

You need the internet to activate the games.

 

[YouEnjoyMySelf]

1080p wider field of view!!!

 

[CreateNowSleepLater]

This is BS, I posted a question and it never came through. As slow as this is moving I wouldnt doubt if these were fake questions.

 

[fallagin]

"Will the cloud be strong enough to hold all of that secret sauce?"

 

[Guevara]

Can't be pointed out enough. So much for new info.

 

[jorgeton]

Infinite power of the cloud. LOL.

And thus a new meme was born.

Xbone is the gift that keeps on giving.

Spoiler

too bad the actual console is an anti-consumer POS

 

[AlexMogil]

We are in all 63 states

 

[bndadm]

Oh man, somebody start compiling all this to Scott Adams. He'll have enough material for Dilbert strips to last the year.

 

[Ingeniero]

I hope I am included in those 41 countries

 

[FiveMinuteHero]

Wait two dudes started with "simple question" These are all fucking staged questions. What a fucking farce.

I started with 'simple question' because I noticed that if you put it in front, it goes through

 

[jred2k]

I feel like I'm watching a Troy McClure does PR video. How did they think this would be a good idea?

 

[f0rk]

That's a good question

 

[The Faceless Master]

he pasted that last answer from xbox.com right?

HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAAHAHAHAAHHAAHAH

 

[Veronica]

uh oh

 

[commedieu]

and the fucking idiots are just copying and pasting the same responses.. LITERALLY.

Xbox go home.

 

[Rebel Leader]

Isn't dodge a PS4 exclusive?

BUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

*cough cough*

HAHAHAHAHAHHAA

 

[Einbroch]

"The feedback has been amazing. Devs are loving the power and ease the system provides"

 

[mephixto]

"Good Question". Same old generic vague answer.

 

[xxracerxx]

God what a softball question.

I bet Nelson will be telling the harsh truth here.

 

[iNvid02]

 

[TheOddOne]

LOL copypaste

 

[Cidd]

Times like these I love GAf lol!!

 

[The_Monk]

LOL perfect.

 

[U2NUMB]

So who is paying for all this cloud tech? MS is just providing it for every game for free?

Perk of gold.. if you are silver your games of course do not tap into infinite cloud power.

 

[OrangeYouGlad]

So who is paying for all this cloud tech? MS is just providing it for every game for free?

It should be subsidized by all the LIVE and Ad money they've been collecting, but I'm sure we'll still see closures of dedicated spaces.

 

[BlazingDarkness]

Get ready for 'devs love it'.

 

[Duxxy3]

So who is paying for all this cloud tech? MS is just providing it for every game for free?

Yeah... the thing they failed to mention is that this cloud technology isn't specifically for xbox live...

small oversight.

 

[nib95]

This thread is going places. Also, are we sure it's not a random PR person or bot? Lol.

 

[Deleted member 10571]

This is BS, I posted a question and it never came through. As slow as this is moving I wouldnt doubt if these were fake questions.

blame space was in there, so it's pretty much confirmed at least most of them aren't fake.

 

[kodt]

They are screening the questions, you don't think they will just let everything go through do you? It would get flooded.

 

[Kyoufu]

I bet it's not even Major Nelson.
