To be fair, it is really a couple of trolls like Brian Provinciano and Jonathan Blow that are making these crazy comments. Many other developers that have no hate agenda against MS are very excited with this news.
From the very beginning, the old policy regarding self-publishing needing a Publisher only pertains to Xbox 360. That old policy was never confirmed that it will be carried over to the Xbox One. It is just MS was waiting to officially announce it at Gamescon before the leak. People here act like they just made the switch overnight. The system is still about 4 months before launch so I don't see what the issue here is. The system will last 8-10 years so there are plenty of time to spread o...
this is a news that should be celebrated if you are a REAL gamer; yet, the Sony fanboys, as expected, are trying to downplay this as much as they can just like the reversed DRM policy. It seems like the more they complain, the more features that will benefit gamers will be added to Xbox One.
No games = MS had the best lineup of exclusive shown at E3.
DRM/24 internet check/USED games sale/No Region Free = 2 weeks after E3, all those restrictions were lifted. ...
@Hicken,
Dude, just stop trolling. The system isn't released yet and won't be for another 4 months. It is never too late if you are a fan of the Xbox , these reversals only means that they are serious and are listening to gamers and developers. Sony supporters like yourself that aren't getting the system regardless just spout out these usual nonsense as usual. Please, stop spamming MS news with your garbage.
I think the XB1 launch lineup is up there with the Deamcast launch as one the best of all time when it is all said and done.
I still can't forget the day when I took home Soul Calibur, Sonic Adventure, NFL 2k, Power Stone, and Hydro Thunder and everyone of them were AAA in my Opinion.
Now, I think the XB1 launch will have the same magic, I can already feel it.
"Someone clearly didn't understand sarcasm lol"
;), I totally agreed with your statement, 1000%
Nope, if Apple were to announced a gaming system, it would have no disc drive, the height will be thinner than a #2 pencil, will cover up the 'made in China" part and posting it on small print as "Assembled in Cupertino".
This is definitely a MS product.
@abzdine,
What a dumb list, full of lies. Get this fanboy cr@p out of here.
Wow, we have a big time Sony fanboy calling himself a professional journalist? What a troll.
@Kaz
How is N4G still allowing you to post after the few 100s of troll posts is beyond me. This one takes the cake as one of the worst troll post ever.
You do know the new cross-chat system on the Xbox One will be migrating to Skype, right? So why is there a big surprise that it might not be compatible with the X360, which isn't on Skype. Think and research people, before trying to troll.
This is definitely good news for the gaming industry. It's been almost 7-8 years since the last launch of the twin HD systems so people of course are excited. Both of the systems will be highly successful and sell out for months to come, but in typical N4G fashion, the PS fans here have to throw their 2 cents in to take a jab of why the Xbox One will be less successful at launch than the PS4. Typical low leveled non-gamers with fanboyish attitude.
Man, the hate for MS is so strong on N4G that even Apple gets praised at the expense of making MS look bad. :/
Unfortunately for Sony loyalists, this just ain't true and Apple will not be receiving any royalty from Kinect as the UPDATE indicated.
@MotherLight
This was already explained with a previous interview with IGN by Tuen-10. It has nothing to do with disc space but the schedule and deadlines.

This is a non-issue whatsover. Remember as far back as the N64 days and up to the PS2 days, games that are shipped and pressed on cartridges and discs would sometime have killer bugs or developers simply didn't have time to add more contents to them due to development deadlines, gamers are simply S.O.L. Now with the high concentration of internet and smartphone adaption (ie..tether apps), those worries are a thing of the past. Ask yourself this, if you simply can't find a way to go on...
It will be a hit. All stores are practically sold out of Day One Unit and is tracking better than the Xbox 360 launch. People tend to forget the prices will come down in a few years (early adapters like myself will buy all the iniital allotments of units at a higher price) and it will sell more gradually in the coming years when prices are lowered and more games are out.
Huge fan, Day one download for me. Glad Namco decided to bring it back, hopefully it will be more like the original games on PS2 rather than the latest installment.
If you don't have internet, how did you managed to make that comment? 0_O
If Godmars and the rest of the Sony support group would just read the entire article and stop making a fool out of themselves, then N4G would be a much nicer place.
From the article:
"In the beginning of the game, the player will be racing against Drivatars that are contained on the disc and were trained by the [Turn 10 development] team," Greenawalt said. "While playing, the player will be asked to connect to Live in order to download a completely fre...
"Split will likely be digital vs. physical. Physical will feel like today. For digital we'll push features we discussed at E3."
Wow, so that is why I am buying most of my games digitally in this generation. The digital version might allow for family/friend sharing with 10 members like what was announced before the reversal.
