Xbox One: Details on Connectivity, Licensing and Privacy Features

[Spliff]

Thread has me

You really puffing your chest out for that shyt?

You nikkas are either retarded or just straight illiterate...

They already told you what the catch is with the game sharing...

Family members can't play the same game at the same time when using multiple Xbones...If you or said family member access the account on a Xbone that is not your main one, it will check every 1 hour if you are online or not instead of 24 hours...

In other words for you slow nikkas that can't read...If i'm sharing my 2K with you and your at your house, when I log into my xbox at my house you will be kicked off after an hour...

Can you point this out? Cuz I only see the part that says you'll have hourly checks if you logged into your account on another machine.

With Xbox One you can game offline for up to 24 hours on your primary console, or one hour if you are logged on to a separate console accessing your library. Offline gaming is not possible after these prescribed times until you re-establish a connection, but you can still watch live TV and enjoy Blu-ray and DVD movies.

Is there something I'm missing?

Now, what we be dope is if MS allowed you to "check in" with your mobile phone if your internet was down.

Idea....

Guess you skipped this.

In areas where an Ethernet connection is not available, you can connect using mobile broadband.

And before you say that still needs a wifi connection...

Surely we have smartphones... right?

I think anyone who's disinterested in console wars can agree that this is unnecessarily complicated. Consoles shouldn't become as complex as PC gaming. If PS4's gamesharing is the same as it is now with 2 accounts and no bullshyt authentication on used games etc., it'll be much more appealing if that's conveyed more aggressively to the consumer in comparison to the arbitrary restrictions the Xbone is imposing. Your average Joe Schmoe would immediately turn down a Xbone if all these dumb rules are communicated to him.

This shyt is even more complex than PC gaming

Serously... Even on my PC I don't complicate things. I know that buying games on steam only works on Steam and that isn't a problem because almost every game is available there. I dont' worry about offline gaming because there really isn't any verifiable proof that you have 30 days to play. Even then, 30 days is ample time to rectify your connection woes if that's the case.
I can bet you that whole "ACCESS YOUR LIBRARY FROM ANY XBOX ONE!" point stans are about is no different than anything out now. You log in, see your titles and then download them....except you have ONE hour to enjoy your download. It's still a limit, it's like a preview.

To these cats, they think they're going to log in on a different Xbone, see games and magically play them instantly with flawless streaming and picture quality.

Not everyone has smartphones, but that is better. Still don't see the need fora check in period for a single player game.

If "checking in" with your phone is as seemless as it CAN be, then this whole offline issue now only concerns those without smartphones. An uncommon scenario just became more uncommon.

That's basically saying "yeah the house has a leak coming through the roof.. But..

Surely you have Buckets in your house? A few Bowls right?"

Here's to preordering the PS4 after E3 next week

 

[Rekkapryde]

it really sucks not being able to do private sales of your games when done though.

More people own smartphones than current gen consoles. If the process is seemless, then this becomes a non issue.

NEXT.

No rebuttal?

& you can't tell me it's not exactly like that

Sure a work around might be easy, but there shouldn't be anything to work around IN THE FIRST PLACE

 

[bright black]

microsoft done fukked up...they should have just worried about making the graphics better and called it day...

Again, why limit your customer base? 50% of people own smartphones (there's another whole 50 percent out there).

Like I said earlier, there's no need to specifically cater to one group and leave others behind. Get all the money!

 

[Mowgli]

Cool they found a way to appease people who like oppression. Now they gotta do something about those shytty graphics.

 

[MeachTheMonster]

..i dont think xbox1 is about to revolutionize gaming...i will to microsoft if they are able to deliver the way you say...

I hope they are. Graphics won't cut it anymore. I constantly here people saying they are tired of the same old stuff. If Microsoft comes through on its promises with the cloud, online integration, kinect, ect. We could see a revolution in gaming/entertainment, the same way the iphone revolutionized cell phones.
