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

[HNIC973]

Doesnt' matter. The Xbone One still is inferior to the PS4 hardware wise and the games they showed barring Tittanfall and Forza looked like hot shyt.

$499 for a forced camera is not wassup.

Good news otherwise.
Have fun playing Halo 10 next year.

DR3 didn't look like shyt neither did Killer Instinct Quantum Break also sounds interesting

Sure they could, everyone would already of invested in One so its not like they would actually do anything bout it. They'd just suck it up and keep it moving.

Nah man, that would be so brand damaging that the xbox one will be their last console.

What needs to be asked is WHY those features were taken away to make room for the fall-back plan

shyt sounds suspect. Like "fukk y'all, you don't wanna roll with us, y'all can't have this"

They just wanted to see what them preorder numbers was

Guess we'll see.

Xbox users need to bytch about Kinect being mandatory and maybe you'd get that price cut down

Nah that's asking for too much from MS

Looks like some on here were dedicated to these DRM policies with more restrictions to come in the future.

Maybe they should've kept the policies to cater to the Coli Xbots

breh this DRM stance was so damaging that its going to be interesting how they recover. Them even risking another backlash like this would be suicide.

Will be interesting to see how all of this plays out though.

I feel you, I just have a feeling they are going to go back to their original stance after the craze calms down some. I also think PS4 will copy that stance if it became successful.

Do you understand that it has to be mandatory soo that developers take advantage of it....have you not seen the new capabilities??? Talking about only the snap capabilities isn't doing justice to the progress they made with the Kinect 2

the eye and move not being mandatory is the reason shyt won't be done for it...another Sony ploy to get you to waste your money on something THEY SEE as a gimmick. ..their not trying to push their move and eye forward...they just want you to know hey we have something like it too



and the consumers fall for the dumb shyt the majority of time...because generally consumers aren't the brightest bunch

But who says devs are going to take advantage of it? The only real shine I saw it get at E3 was when they were featuring the TV capabilities. I would have thought there would have been a lot more Kinect based gameplay and integration if what you say is true. Every dev is aware of the Kinect. If they had great ideas for it, they could go that route and make those games. I'm just not convinced that they feel the way you do.

i'm kind of dissapointed, in all honesty microsoft's sacrifice in sales and what they were trying to do is better for the consumer and industry long term

how awesome would it be if console gaming was like Steam and you had these awesome sales and rapestop stopped over pricing used games

too bad they didn't have the balls to just stick through the bad pr and let everyone try it

genuinely disappointed no dog in this fight

That was never going to happen, we're talking about Microsoft here.

Read the thread and there trying to make a case how the reverse is bad now. Xbots on the Coli sound like the freed slaves after the Civil War wanting to go back to their masters.

And thats cool. I just think people should be given the option to decide if they can live with the controller or go with the Kinect for added convenience. Making the consumer invest in the tech that you invested in is no way to go in my opinion. You make the case for how good the Kinect is and let those consumers decide. You make your money back that way. As it stands, they are about to launch a system thats 100 bucks more than their closest competitor and reportedly said system isn't as strong. So by making consumers foot the bill they may still lose in the end anyway. It seems counter-productive.

If they really wanted a return of investment on the Kinect they should have found more ways to get it packged and working with more PC's and Smart TVs and even cars, not just a videogame console.

This is the only way they can control 100% adoption though. That's why the xbox one is unfortunately the one to go through all this shyt.

Come on breh, don't be that biased. Forza looked amazing and titanfall only looks bad because people don't know if it's coming to ps4 or not. If it was a ps4 title it'd be at the top of most stans list. Now killzone is a game I have no faith in. infamous may get it right this time but I dunno. It's only natural to downplay the thing you're(not necessarily you but stans) biased against.

instead tell us how all of your future threads are dead in the water

I don't make threads about trash.

Show me the last thread I made about the Xbox one.
