Support NeoGAF

[Tallshortman]

This is shaping up to be a worst reveal than the Saturn's "secret" launch.

EDIT: Has phil been working for Sony all along and been planting these stupid fucking ideas inside MS?

 

[serplux]

Is this the real life

Is this just fantasy? Caught in a landslide, no escape from reality...

 

[harSon]

He's a high ranking Microsoft executive.

So is Don Mattrick who plainly said the opposite to Geoff Keighley on Spike TV.

 

[criesofthepast]

I'm literally laughing out loud now. Someone at MS tell Phil to shut up for today. Lol he's dropping bombs.

So is Don Mattrick who plainly said the opposite to Geoff Keighley on Spike TV.

He looked nervous as fuck answering that question. I'd also honestly take Phil's word over Don's any day.

 

[WrenchNinja]

HOW DOES THIS CONSOLE EXIST

At no point did they not stop to think all of these ideas are STUPID?

 

[BronsonLee]

YOU'VE GOT TO BE FUCKING KIDDING ME.

Remember when PS3 did this for some gamesharing stuff, like Final Fight and whatnot?

Apply that to all your games.

WAT

 

[Omikaru]

But Don said on the GT-TV post show you could play offline.

You can still play offline. You just need to phone home every 24 hours. Still inexcusable, but it's like always-online lite.

This is probably the worst console I've ever seen.

 

[Marty Chinn]

I... I.... I.... oh my, I can't believe it just doesn't stop.... It's like Nintendo and Microsoft felt bad for what happened to Sony this generation.

 

[DopeyFish]

24 hours is a HUGE amount of time

Fuck people were whining about 3 minutes and its now 24 hours

 

[GHG]

So I have to be granted permission to play the games I buy and then I have to connect once every 24 hours in order to keep playing the game despite already having had permission granted?

Wow, when you put it like that, its not so bad.

 

[USC-fan]

Every thread the news keeps getting worse and worse.....

I must be dreaming no way they screwed up this bad.

 

[Killthee]

How long before Harrison takes off his mask and is revealed to be Kaz in disguise?

 

[Matt]

Or what?

You won't be able to use the system for anything until it connects to the internet.

 

[Amir0x]

holy goddamn fuck.

What is the fucking MATTER with Microsoft

 

[mightynine]

And that's how you won't just be able to disconnect your Xbox One from the internet to keep playing the game you sold your friend.

 

[Bsigg12]

Idk what to believe anymore.....

 

[Fried Food]

Does Microsoft PR know that Phil left his cage?

 

[Raide]

Or what?

You cannot play until you switch it back on and start playing.

 

[throwawayname]

HA!!

 

[NullPointer]

Here we go.

God fucking damn it MS.

 

[RaySpencer]

It gets worst and worst

You mean worse, not worst.

Sorry, not trying to be a dick, Ive just seen a few people say that today.

Ugh, I feel bad for laughing at this.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Sony, save us! It's like they are bailing out of the video game business. Hopefully sells will reflect this.

 

[Lakitu]

Good to know that when my internet goes down for 3 days at a time that I won't be able to use the product/s I paid for.

 

[Technosteve]

ENJOY THE STEAM BOX GUYS.

 

[LOCK]

wait...WHAT

 

[RustyNails]

Exactly. Always Online is confirmed, no matter what bullshit way they try to spin it's effects.

 

[Kurdel]

This is slowly looking like that PS3 E3 press conference.

 

[celebi23]

 

[BlazingDarkness]

Holy shit this thread just exploded :lol

 

[Paches]

Every time I refresh GAF there is a worse Microsoft story...

 

[Nobility]

Oh wow.

This is the story that keeps on giving.

Seriously MS?

 

[jbug617]

I'm done. I'm waiting before I jump into next gen.

 

[Gonzo The Great]

Iwata is crying tears of joy.

 

[Katana_Strikes]

My god!

Kill it, kill it with fire!!

 

[JCreasy]

Uh oh.

Much more at the link.

 

[Htown]

HOLY SHIT MICROSOFT

 

[UberTag]

We need to start a REHIRE ADAM ORTH movement.
The reality is worse than any and all ominous rumors we have contemplated!

 

[Tecl0n]

I demand to see the market investigation/research that led to this godawful "feature".

 

[GoofsterStud]

Hmm.. So if I have no internet for two days because of a storm int he mountains, I can't play my Xbox one.

>.> DRM at it's finest. Blocking me from gaming, when I probably want to game the most.

 

[daxgame]

 

[PopeReal]

Oh wow so it is all true. The last of gamers denial must be fading away.

 

[popeutlal]

At this rate this thing will top the Wii U's two years of bad news in about two weeks.

 

[falconzss]

And I thought you couldn't have more bad publicity than that. Guess I was wrong.

 

[lenovox1]

He's got some big eyes.

 

[Busaiku]

This is incredible.

 

[RELIGHT]

Hold on what the hell is this actually true?

 

[Always-honest]

Haha, what the fuck are they trying to do here??? See how far they can troll is?

 

[Speedy Blue Dude]

Wait. So I'm confused. One of the biggest complaints about Always Online was this, wasn't it?


"What if my Internet goes out."

So... why are we against this now? You have an entire day to connect/be offline. I doubt anyone's Internet goes out for an entire day.


I'm still not seeing a problem with always online, especially not if it's so lenient that it's just once ever 24 hours. Offline play is still possible and you'll probably NEVER notice this.

 

[Iacobellis]

SONY WINS!
