PC gamer here, console GAF, even if MS drops their DRM policies, the XBone still has weaker hardware and is more expensive than the PS4. Why choose to buy it??
Do you guys think all the negative PR so far, the stubborn MS comments and Kinect/gov't spying fears are enough to keep Xbox One seen as 2nd choice?
There is none. It is "SOURCES SAY".
It's bull, for free clicks.
Tangential, but EA said they're working on a used game policy for the next gen consoles, didn't they?
Only required to connect the console to the internet on first use? That's still going to fuck a shitton of people. If you are going to drop always online you have to drop any bit of 'online required' too.
Fuck em.
And this is suppose to happen today? 8 hours to go
Amazon pre-order day 1 edition NOWWWWWW
This would've been too good. Still, with the $100 price difference and no always-on Kinect, my wallet is on the Sony side.
I LOVE IT
GB reporting rumors like this is... Odd. But oh man, that's a megaton, and a massive turnaround if that's true. Evening up the odds!
I will be, but will be waiting a year, most likely two so I can be sure they don't try to pull a fast one and re-implement them
Are they going to up the specs and lower the price to compete with the PS4 as well?
I think the moment sony didnt go along with microsofts plans the whole thing was blown wide open.EA must be pissed.
They have MS titanfall some exclusive Fifa shit because of the promise of DRM. If they backtrack they will be sending some angry emails.
Yep, no more AAA games for anyone. Sorry guys, time to go home.
You did nothing.
Sony beating them down, the Military getting public attention and retailers getting on their case as well as pitiful pre-order showings did this.
Fallon mentioned that the PS4 would support used games and no internet checks while the Xbox wouldn't.
Haha yeah. If true, can't wait to see what the 'Microsoft are saving the industry!' people have to say...Would be hilarious to watch the proDRM people suddenly backpedal on how this is a good thing.
Jimmy Fallon said sony was the only console that supports used games, and don't require online yesterday, the crowd cheered. Xbox one will be on JF again but it will be EA, Microsoft can't clear things up on JF, Jimmy forced them to change their minds because of national TV.
And EA announces the reintroduction to their online pass!
Titanfall will go multiplatform now IMO.
