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

[GoldenGlove]

This is why ive said for years a 100% digital console was fools gold. A lot of you kept saying it was coming but it wont when you have to deal with the initial wave of consumer anger.

If company A announces they are going 100% digital then company B just has to say they are keeping the status quo for the last 30 years and people will jump for joy. Then company A has to cave or fail.

Both of these consoles can be 100% digital if the owner wants them to be.

But what about the cloud? Those Forza dudes were hyping Driveatar to no end. Now that everyone won't be required to be online, what becomes of that?

Looks like all is about to be back to normal. Xbox finna be number 1 again. Ps4 might end up in second place this time

MS stays shytting on its fanboys...

These sad pathetic delusional fakkits been rallying behind always online like it was second coming of black Jesus and MS just flipped the script on them...

but I got to keep it 100 and give my props to where its due...If MS is sincere with this change of direction and said fukk DRM than I salute them for that...

supposedly the reason they are making the kinect a part of the new system is so devs wont have a reason to not use it next gen

i can understand why they didnt want to waste time developing games for it this gen cause the shyt is only a accessory that most people with a 360 dont have(use) it but its no excuses next gen

i want to see some FPS kinnect games or NBA 2K Kinect....shyt like that

fukk a dance central or kinnect sports

breh i understand that but all you to do is look at the kinect launch games to see it's more of the same shyt. they spent all that money implementing and creating the kinect 2 but none of their in house devs can make a interesting game for it? shyt is glorified tv remote at this point.

That's a big move and it'll shift the war closer. I'm still getting the 4 regardless but that'll win over alot of people especially the planned Xbox defectors

There is a difference between a console that can download and play digital games, and a platform that is 100% designed around it.

You know this so im not going to explain all the reasons why.

it's a feature that won't be available offline

Oh, so you thought this means they don't use the cloud anymore
All this means is now we'll have to wait for updates like losers who rock the PS4 only. No longer will you be able to instantly start up a game if it hasn't been updated yet. What you forgot is your shytty ass ps3 is connected right this very second unless you unplugged it. PS+ gives you the "option" to do these types of self updates without you having to be there. And you guys talked fondly of that. Well, we could and still can do that on Xbox. So I don't get what the problem is besides PS gamers acting like this is a bad thing when its what THEY wanted all along

Nope. That price tag is still gonna hold it back some.

lmaooo, knew this would happen. Dope. I was kinda interested to see how M$ would've played out the DRM thing but eh.

 

[LastEmperor2k2]

That's a good move for them.

I might buy it a few years down the road now
