Confirmed: Xbox One No Longer Requires Online Connection, Supports Used Games

[AkaDemiK]

This affects more than just their Family Share plan though. They hyped the snap feature (jumping in and out of multiple games), and the smart match feature that let you search for a game within a game while playing another game ie. HC Kill Confirmed in COD while playing Viva Pinata

nah I doubt all that..you can still buy games from xbl...it will prob only affect nikkas that have discs

 

[Romell]

Pissed that family share is out, but BF4 and Xbone are now pre-ordered. Let the games begin

 

[Rekkapryde]

Wow, game sharing and disc-less play are gone. Un-fukking-believable.

Catering to the lowest common denominator.

Oh well, the people who never intended to buy the console are happy now.

Atleast give us an option to opt-in to "always online"



One thing we learned from all this, presentation is EVERYTHING.

No...being stupid and greedy will get you stomped out is the message. Their whole plan of setting up a console version of Steam just went down the drain. Using the checking as a way to secure exclusives since nikkaz wouldn't be buying used copies goes down the drain. Pissing off military members on deployment was also a huge negative.

You can still be always on if you want, not because you HAVE TO.


Championing your system as an always online console was a huge mistake with the amount of money they were gonna leave on the table. Whose bright idea it was to mandate this lost.

Kinect aint going nowhere so I don't expect a price drop at launch, probably next year when the sales aren't what they expected.

But that gamesharing is in the bushes. It was half assed anyway looking at the limitations.

I'm legit disappointed.

My homies and I already had a game rotation in order.

lol obviously they weren't the lowest....

Yes because the main people complaining were 1) cheap gamers depending on the used game market 2) people without consistent internet 3) people using game resale as a hustle and 4) stans jumping at an opportunity to fuel a fire. Websites carried the agenda because traffic = $$$.

shyts disgusting. 140million current gen consoles were sold and nikkas were worried about polls that didn't add up to a 30k total?

Damn

 

[Phantom]

w-w-w-what about always on online needed for "cloud processing"

yeah, i'm wondering this myself



Still going to stick with the PC for the time being but will pickup a PS4 down the road

@Hiphoplives4eva :hmph: since you were just telling me how great DRM was yesterday, how do you feel about this

 

[Swiggy]

u got it twisted...nikkas are mad that we lost some of the benefits of the previous policies. The new policies are a good thing, it's great for everyone..but it comes with the loss of new features.

Oh ok, I get that. But was them features serious enough to be upset at losing in exchange for a gaming experience that actually makes sense? I dunno, I think Microsoft just saved themselves without having to do this after launch.

The needs of the many, but to the point of those that are mad, maybe those that voiced a change ain't even getting one anymore

 

[FreshABM]

Every Xbox One needs Kinect. Let's face the facts Nintendo makes sick as games that actually use the peripherals because the system comes with the peripherals.

Kinect w/ games allows you to be in the environment
Kinect can be used to voice control TV
Kinect can be used to navigate apps

Totally necessary.

I've never heard of "gamers" wanting a step back in technology

who doesn't want more??

these ps stans on some cave man shyt




sent from HTC One

 

[Bondye Vodou]

family sharing - the ability to assign 10 ppl to a family group and share games with them...for free. That may be gone

installing discs and playing games without them...Gone


fukk

fukk "installing games" bwahaha
N the Family sharing thing was a bunch of B.S lmao @ anybody who thought MS was gonna do that with out placing some fukked up weirdass restrictions on dey ass. I mean it defeats the purpose of the DRM bullshyt they were tryna force down our throats in the first place

Gladly they saw the light tho & backtracked on all that shyt

But they still need to change some things before I spend my money on that shyt

[Swiggy]

So what of processing power now? Wasn't the cloud going to be used to power the experience of the 360? Help me on this one, brehs. Did they not think that far ahead with the hardware, now that they can go offline?

I'm so confused
