Except the Wii U.
I'm willing to play games to and X1 will let you do that. The difference between MS and everybody else (so far) is you have to jump through hoops to play those games in the first place and can be locked out of your content if prerequisites aren't met. That doesn't sound like fun times to me.
Wow, look at you M$, so cool with your DoritoDews, I'm definately buying an Input One now!
Yea I agree as well but I can say my experience was VERY bug riddled (ps3) and that has been what defined my experience with Skyrim. I may have enjoyed it alot more without the problems and the god awful load times.
20 games that you can't play without an internet connection and skynect attached.
Looks like I'll have to stop using my gamepad for typing and go to the keyboard. So many things to say in this brave new bubbleful (for the moment) world...
I wonder if any of this has to do with the N and their reasons for holding a different kind of E3 showing? Not saying it is, just my curious ramblings.
Oh the big deal is the kinect and the online requirement. Maybe it's not a big deal now but when your appliances are always connected, your cars gps info is always monitored and you have a camera pointed at you all day then the problems come. This is just another blatantly useless step for the customer in a direction VERY few people want the world to go towards. But it's ok, if history is any indication then it's not like the government or business would use any of that against re...
Nice article. Oh, hope the NSA doesn't find out I said that...
Xbox-put Riley down
Thanks for being informative!
I don't see how the concerns are overblown when EVERY system before it is easier to set up and use, less restrictive, can use games no matter where I am or who I bought them from and isn't putting an NSA spycam in my room.
This is why I tend not to buy digital copies of games no matter the cost. Until digital starts getting treated as physical (loaning, renting, buy and sell) then it's useless to me and bad for customers. I've made an exception with Nintendo and only because they've shown they at least think about what happens to your digital collection and allow you to keep it when upgrading to their new system but that exception will end if I see it moving in a more restrictive direction later on....
I wonder if the system itself can be sold used or if it has the same limitations as the used games? Too bad M$ cancelled question taking at E3 otherwise we would find out.
As long as Sony stays away from the anti-customer regulations on their console there will only be 2 great systems for gamers to choose from for next gen which will do the N wonders at E3. Thanks M$.
The verse is truly a great way to find out what the masses want (and don't want) out of the system.
Nice to see the Wii U getting some more games and indie love.
I completely agree with you but M$ is only the first out of the Prism project to be monitored. Before that it was AT&T back in 2002, PBS did a Frontline about it talking about how the entire internet was being sent through this one room with access only being given to one government agent.
@ Surg The US collects data on LOTS of other countries too because of terrorist threats, that's how this program has become as big as it has. It's not right, it's not good a good enough reason but it's still true.
The Wii U was nowhere near limited at launch and the N even stated numerous times that stock would be available and they were trying to avoid the shortages the Wii had.
