Definitely not.
I would be very disappointed too, to say the least.
The thing is, Yoshida has confirmed that SONY nor their first party titles will be this way. The console can be played offline and such.
The big multiplats will be the same way, but fuck them anyway.
Yeah!
Thanks for the Link, man.
Have a feeling this is going to be SONY's best E3 yet.
So excited to everything from TLoU glimpses to upcoming games to Vita titles and apps to PS4 BOMB DROPPAGE!
BOOM!
One of the advantages doesn't exist.
Answer me one thing please?
If the cloud was such a viable option and is the equalizer for this generation, and every console must be online, why does the Xbox One even have standard architecture? Wouldn't you think it more financially responsible to rely solely on the magic cloud to cut back production costs and have your console priced lower?
Of course that would make sense. Guess why they didn...
Very true.
They have the luxury of being able to. They work tirelessly on the most beautiful and most fun games. They don't need their egos stroked.
The quality of their work speaks for itself.
The industry is a better place because of them.
Lmao! Stop.
C'mon, man. They may not have infrastructure like the rest of the country, but what's with the beastiality remark?
Plug it into a tree? Lol!
The Xbox One is in an of itself, an exercise in irony.
You are essentially renting every single game that you purchase for the system, but you are stripped of your ability to rent games.
I hope this things crashes like a lead balloon and then a dog urinates all over it, because that's exactly what they are doing to all of us gamers with this.....THING.
This is the very first time in gaming history that the next gen is actually a step back...
Right
Seeing as most multiplayer games are not rented due to their lasting appeal, then the 1p games will be played offline on PS4 like they are now.
SO PS4 and renting will go hand in hand. Like it does now.
SONY first party studios likely wont implement DRM and if the 3rd party studios do, which we're all pretty sure they will, then Gamefly will not buy those titles, we cannot rent them, and those games have lower yields in terms of in...
He doesn't want to hear the truth.
He will continue saying "it could it could it could, they've been vague, it could it could".
But it won't.
It's not even as if he is explaining how it could have the same policies in place. This tells us that he knows exactly what SONY has said. He knows what they said and he is in denial. Otherwise he would have offered a reasonable response as to how SONY would implement an offline DRM....
Theyre getting a cut for sure. They designed the machine around DRM and theyre getting a slice.
Essentially what they've done, is legally stolen the monies from Gamestop and Gamefly and redistributed it to themselves and the Pubs of those games.
Why build your way into a used game market when you can control it out of the gate?
It is totalitarian and disgusting.
That and the machine relies on clouds and fairy dust and still only...
All gold members get involved and cancel your accounts or your auto renew and explain to the reps that's your reason is "boycott due to new restrictions".
Its on now. Get involved, ppl. Power to the consumer.
What an awesome idea!
I love that so many 360 owners are cancelling their live acts and the auto renew and clearly telling MS why.
Its always very refreshing to see something positive that renews faith in the human race. We are not all retarded.
Still, kinda effed up that MS is saying you're not allowed to cancel now due to updates. What a lie.
Many are forced to go their bank or card provider to stop auto payment.
Halo, brah!
Clowd, brah!
Its a corporate vision.
No real gamer or lover of videogames or anyone over the age of 25 wants this garbage. Perhaps younger fans won't care or know any better, but you can bet your bottom dollar that a vast majority of gamers are going to laugh at this thing upon launch, all the way through to its sunset.
Well yeah.
To even consider this ominous corporate Trojan horse as a gaming console is akin to calling a serial rapist a hopeless romantic.
It is all very bad, and if we support it, it will change the entire landscape of gaming to all media.
Critical thinking has never been more important. Apathy courts evil, everyone. Get involved by not buying it.
They have no policy. Its up to the publisher.
How can they comment on something they neither know or control.
They've told us the deal 4 times. What exactly are you confused about. The PS4 will come with no manufactured restrictions. No online required for 1p games and DRM policies are left up to publishers.
DRM and dogs!
No thx, losers. You peaked @ Pitfall and its been horseshit ever since.
If MS does it so will SONY
No. No they won't. You guys said the same thing about charging for free online and forced camera integration. Those weren't true, and neither is this.
MS has historically pioneered consumer rape and you guys continue to support it. SONY has not gone this route, instead, they give us the choice of what we want to use. PS+, or free multiplayer. Eyetoy if we want, but not necessary.
Finally, they are on r...
This isn't even about whether or not SONY consoles will outsell One consoles.
This is whether or not Xbox will even survive the Gen. Its an absurd turd of a machine and only a diehard will buy it.
I honestly see no way this monster of consumer hate, pro corporation, right stealing digital beast can even stay afloat. Its going to take divine intervention to save it. There are no rain delays in free enterprise, so MS is royally screwed.
Don't forget about if the internet foes down for whatever reason, Xbox will allow you to watch your TV!
:-D
Classic.
I think he's even more angry than I am. Love the passion.
He's doing the right thing by educating everyone, and so are you, Gez, by posting his link.
He's absolutely 100% correct in that anyone who buys the One automatically forfeits their right to whine or complain about gaming in any which way or form.
This is so damned simple, everyone.
We all love gaming and there is an enemy directly in fro...
