Haha says the genius who wrote "actual gameplay, and usually actually"
Masters of casual gamers. Otherwise you would of understood the significance of the new ARENA esports functionality for XBL.
EA/DICE showed the #1 game in BF1 and confirmed it will be available for ARENA.
This will be fantastic for xblive esports, especially large battlefield teams who have suffered from jumping around a few 3rd party esports sites. It will bring teams together far easier and that means higher standard of gaming and bigger esport communit...
The DRM would have provided us with ONLINE SHARING which was an evolution in gaming. Whingers have killed that and there is still hating going on...you should be ashamed not crowing with more negative reaction
Haha and you talk about MS credibility?? - hypocrites.
Funny to see though keep up the good work
frrrrrrk i hate Sony fanboys - stop stealing our air.
Biggest bunch of crumbs ever witnessed. Just buy ya frrkn console and shut ya pieholes. Stop ruining informative content with all ya bullshit day in day out. Youre ill informed "conspiracies" your anti consumer anti DRM anti MS yadda yadda yadda dribble at every piece of nerdbaiting journalism spawn 20 impressionable clones when there is some real truths and content on the table. Youre nothing more than a blight ...
XB1 share 10 friends games - that can compare to PS4. One will allow me to do online the other requires the physical exchange of discs - no brainer.
MS to spend $1bill on games - enjoy the ride. 3rd party wont spend big dollars taking use of PS4 extra RAM they will develop to XB1 5GB RAM for awhile yet.
XB1 to open up your gaming profile to other networks thru seemless recording by voice and sharing to youtube/FB and streaming to twitch.tv
Sk...
Its well known the PSN eSports communities are well behind, less developed on 3rd party games like COD and BF - with nothing even comparing to Halos pro scene.
The XB1 will continue to assist the growth of eSports by superior recording abilities and partnerships with Twitch.tv as well as opening up their closed system (XBL) thru Skype
You need a decent OS to handle the smooth unobtusive switching/running between applications gamers on XB1 will have at their ...
Where is the restriction in borrowing ya mates games on PS4 should be the question.
If they live next door - none.
If they live 200km away and wont see you for 2yrs then theyll be restricted when they wanna play their game they lent you
XB1 removes those hassles with a 24hr check in - big woop
Cuts out the middleman & associated costs
Being able to share 10 friends library of games without getting off my arse is a nightmare?
How so?
Its a bloody dream come true thats what it is
Seriously with cloud wait till you see it. Focus on ACCEPTING handing over control so they can GIVE you more freedoms for playing it straight.
REWARD (online sharing of licened games)
outweighs
RISKS (gettn caught with pirate software turns XB1 into brick)
RESULT (no piracy on system = satisfied guaranteed publisher support. Ease of use for gamers in borrowing friends games)
FUTURE XB1 > PRESENT PS4
EDUCATE ON POLICIES 101 - DRM
What is DRM 24hr check required? MS taking piracy head on. They do not want 1 bit of pirated games blurays etc on their system. It is a neccessity when requiring games to be installed/played from HDD - its to ensure licenses are up to date.
A great use of this feature is SHARING GAMES
PS4 - requires you to obtain physical copy borrowed as we currently can do. No change no DRM checks. Piracy still an issue for de...
OK so you wanna borrow ya mates games? both systems allow for this in different ways.
PS4 - physically go borrow play. No DRM checks.
XB1 upto 10 friends access to full library games you can install to your HDD that can be played when they are not. Requires 24hr DRM check.
Which is better/easier?
The 24hr DRM check is anti-piracy as XB1 requires games installed to HDD. You will be able to access 10 of your friends library of games from cloud and download to your HDD and play whenever they are not.
You cant do that on PS4 - well you can by physically going around to mates borrow their games.
Whats better?
Well as a potential effective solution perhaps MS can put an extra 2GB RAM so that the perception its not a game machine would be minimised
Why? Australians are able to see value in the XB1 like anyone can. Just as i see that with PS4
Just as im loving MS innovation and tech in a console 10 times more powerful than 360 - its gonna do stuff im interested in.
When i spend my money on a PS4 then theyll have won me over. I have choices -
Ill prob get both systems but im gonna enjoy the XB1 first or not? Cant see how i wont
Well thats ok - thats MS choice. I dont understand why world domination is so important? Competition and variation/innovation is great for gamers. We have 2 diff systems in front of us offering diff experiences.
Personally im looking forward to the social aspects that open you up from the closed XBL network. Id be able to send you a skype call or record a video msg bang it across the net
Both will play BF4 the same and many games will be identical identical ...
XB1 will be a great online experience - the tech is an expansion on how experienced gamers will be able to interact socially and share their media.
I personally am looking forward to building game footage library to my youtube channel starting with BF4.
Having access to 10 friends games library whenever i want at no cost outweighs any negatives
Nerdbaiting level - pro
I seriously cant believe how insecure PS users are? what rock you been hiding under? No one has given you much thought or cred over this entire last gen console as you are the casual gamers market with second rate service, ported xbox games and overated exclusives that as one poster pointed out hardly worth the hardware investment. You only need to look at the amount of PS3s purchased for Uncharted that end up gathering dust used for BluRay movies when...
The author like myself is Australian - his point is valid its a big country he was having a crack at some peoples sense of entitlement when essentially common sense would have sufficed instead of attempting to high hat a perceived negative that is not MS problem
The ARENA functionality for XBL was huge....and BF1 was best game of E3
