Microsoft has a track-record of not supporting its products "in the long run"...... eh?
how can you say that when we are into the 8th summer for the 360? and they dont show any sign of stopping anytime soon.
you say MS have not proved themselves due to the life cycle of the 1st Xbox, but you totally discount this gen. and both next gen consoles are aiming to be around for a decade
Going by your logic then Nintendo is the way to go.....
"The Xbox one is a massive tool for data collection"
So is your android,iPhone, windows handset, so is your PC, so is your tablet, even your TV service, and so is a the internet, even your local store with there "store cards" are data collectors.
I can live with always online, but I do understand some peoples issues with 24 hour check in to play SP let alone MP, but... Major nelson did say he sees no reason why the 24 hour check in had to include SP and says he sees no reason why not, so the check in may change.. I would expect so
I also understand the sheer arrogance,but this resounds all the way thru MS including that tool ballmer
I thought Microsoft was having a great E3 until they said $499... I&#...
@JMC stop with the NSA spying crap, I can't wait for a PS4 to be in my home but to say the x1 is an NSA spying device is just ignorant...
If your worried about NSA spying then make a sure you:
1. Throw away your mobile phone
2. Have your internet disconnected
3. Give away your tablet/laptop/home PC
4. Live off the grid
Unreal....
Yawn..........
Oh and nice avoidance of freezing and if I was slagging on the Xbox....
Sensitivity..... They make cream for that :)
TheEvilWithin, before you tell people to do some research you should really read what was said, he says HDMI IN... Not standard HDMI, the Xbox one has both HDMI out and HDMI in, the PS4 comes with that usual HDMI out the most modern electronics do, as do the PS3 and the 360..... Maybe you should do research before you post, maybe you would have then knew this....
Aibreeze same goes to you mate, he says HDMI IN....
Gravelord I've probably been playing games longer than you have been alive
When a game freezes you have to restart the console? Are you smoking space dust? Go play fight night champion and tell me that, and as for me saying something is gay you have no need to get your tulips in a twist, report all you like, gay is a term commonly used by people to degrade something, and it's used on here daily, I'm betting if I said Xbox was gay you would pull out your pink tutu...
Lol at shut up already, if that happened on the Xbox demo you would screaming out about rrod, so you shut up already and accept the fact they had hardware issues on stage during demos..
Did you go to E3? Was you there? No, your just like everyone else who reads something then goes into overdrive
Do I think MS deserve a slap...yup
Do I think blind fanboyism needs a bigger slap.. yup
I'm not an Xbox fanboy or any fanboy, I'm a gamer... And with that is like to point this out...
1. No control over your games... Maybe, it's also developer dependent, you have no idea of how this works yet.
2.No rental option.... That's your preference, I don't ever rent games and I don't know anyone who does.
3. No trading games with friends... Why would you? When you have the friends and family feature? The entire ga...
Yeah...... That's why AC3 totally froze out and Destiny had trouble too, if there was any sign of console problems it came from Sony, but that's ok as it's Sony, and we all love Sony and Sony can do no wrong.
Microsoft deserve flack for the restrictions etc etc, but to turn
a blind eye to anything Sony does is gay, I remember a lot if people on here saying they won't pay for access to online multiplayer on PSN, but now it's all ok, hypocrisy here...
Regarding this Ki being a F2P game im not quite understanding this, they have said quite clearly it will be available to buy day one full game, the one character is a demo of the game and lets you pick and choose what you would like to have as an addition..
" Shoryuken.com caught a bit of the "Killer Instinct" livestream with representatives of Double Helix who clarified how the F2P model is going to work. First, you can buy a full downloadable version of the g...
What would normally happen if you both play call of duty? The other person would buy it..... Just like they would have to now.
A stupid family system?
OK this is how it was explained by the Microsoft cheese the other day, you can link up to 10 people to your Xbox live account, regardless of where they are, so I can add my son who lives in england and he can share all games that i have purchased and vice versa, I don't know how that is a stupid family system, that means you can have access to a boat load of games, and 2 people can play the same game at once, but one of the two would be the content...
I understand that they Saud it won't work without Kinect but I also believe that is just MS spew, I'm sure they can disable it if needed, or MS will match the PS3 and lose money in the short term just like the 360
@Arcfourtwo Sony have just shown a boatload of multiplat games, and indie titles, this was not a patch on the February launch event, if Sony had not mentioned used games and price I would be of the opinion that MS put on a much stronger showing.
Actually Sony's E3 event was pretty dull, the only thing is the price point that kicked MS in the nuts.... i expect a Kinect`less Xbox one to be announced soon, if not then people just wont see the value in $100 for a kinect
I don't care what it looks like same with the Xbox.... I have to say Infamous looks graphically amazing, but the other games don't look any better than xbone, I don't see this 50% more raw power so far
PS3 looked like a George Foreman grill
Ps4 looks like a sandwich toaster
And at E3 Sony choose to do tv and movies.... WTF!
Sony need to pick this event up
Damn i just seen this, was happy to see a new SWBF game coming.... then i noticed it said by DICE...... and i about shit my pants! E3 has been superb so far, the best opening day in years
"Real gamer" ...,, I love the way this term is thrown around, what is a real gamer? Someone who's of the same opinion of you?
For me a real gamer owns more than one console, plays games for the sake of games and not the system, you don't think Sony will go the way if Microsoft are doing, we will see when publishers incorporate it into the games they make.
I've been around for every console launch and the amount if times I've heard th...
Im sure Don Mattrick is the secret son of that tool Steve Ballmer.....
