I think that if anyone thinks that Sony wouldn't have done the exact same thing they are incredibly naive. The only reason they took the steps they did was because of online reaction to Xbox saying it first. What MS tried to do is what they ALL want to do to us. Choice: giant douche or turd sandwhic

I think it's too late for Microsoft. Nobody is going to forget what they did, and everyone has already formed their opinions on Xbone and PS4. It's very hard, if not impossible, to change the opinions of the masses.

Applying lube AFTER sodomizing someone doesn't make it all better.

Agreed Jo. There is a *slim* chance for XBox to make a comeback, though at best i think it'll stand slightly below PS4 (just as you said, tainted name).

I think people have really short memories. The brand name is not tainted. When the thing launches and people soil their pants for Titanfall or whatever, all will be forgotten.

[url=#user_comment_312608]@Winnosh[/url] That's my point! They placed many limitations and now they removed them and claimed that they can't have some features because of that. I wonder if they think people will change their mind and ask for it to return.

No, they won't recover. The damage is already done. That and since they'll release a Day One patch to fix it, I can see people without an Internet connection missing that crucial patch. Not only that, but MS shouldn't be forgiven for this crime against gamers.

If you forgave them after this massive backpedalling then you are what's wrong with modern gaming.

If Halo is the selling point for you then you are not even worth having an argument with.

I'm going to operate under the assumption that they're willing to pull some bullshit move and reinstate DRM in a patch later on. Sort of like how Sony patched out the ability to install Linux on PS3 after originally allowing it to be installed.

Well here's what they should do anyway. Change nothing and watch people buy it anyway.

The people who care are unfortunately in the minority. In spite of however bad it is, the majority of the consumers will only find out when they open the box.

PS4 is still cheaper, has better exclusives (and no, all of Duty: Dog Boogaloo isn't an exclusive when it's on PC), doesn't require the Move, and actually shows Sony cares because they're positioning the system very differently from the PS3. Don't buy an Xbone on principle, if not facts.

@ T the point is that What you describe is something that does not in any way require that the console be always online. Would it benefit from the connection when you ARE online yes. But There was no reason to force the feature on games that had no online component.

I find it funny that these systems can be developed with certain DRM 'features' being touted as standard for years. Yet, come E3 and *information* about these DRM 'features' becoming public, they can make a turnaround in a week.

Makes you wonder just how they spend development time, don't it?

Great Biotic Wind

Youll be installing games on both consoles anyway, has nothing to do with the DRM policy.
T
almost 11 years ago
The point is that by staying connected you could keep firmwares and game updates automatic (an annoying task on PS3) so you never have to wait your system update when you turn on the console. Also they could make that buying games online become much cheaper (like on Steam) but they were too arrogant
T

@Great Biotic Wind
They wanted to force you to install every game you own on the console instead of running it in the disk and they planned on add some sort of cloud computing to help games. They wanted to move a lot of things to the cloud but the Internet is not ready for that.

[url=#user_comment_312580]@PS3[/url]: And by "free" you mean "youll pay monthly subscription and they rent you games of their choice"?
Great Biotic Wind

In fact they were to allow people to do stuff Steam is yet to implement at this point. Instead we are stuck with HD versions of current consoles. At least Microsoft is trying to move forward with the bundled Kinect and Sony introduced ... a "share" button?

[url=#user_comment_312561]@T[/url]: How would being online improve loading times? They would have to create artificial limitations to those who arent. And even if they did, it would take another 8 years to get consoles where Steam has been since forever (because Valve did not chicken out after the initial criticism 10 years ago).
T
almost 11 years ago
In resume, they relied too much that fanboys would buy their products disregard on how you threat them.
T
almost 11 years ago
Continuing
Their main sin was by forcing people to do things the way they want instead of encouraging it.

if they made a system that rewarded you by staying connected 24 hours (like shorter loading time, better gaming options, etc) people would see it as a feature and not a limitation.
T
almost 11 years ago
[url=#user_comment_312523]@doomleika[/url] And they still could, they just don't want because this would allow people to play the same game in more than one console at the same time.

Their turnaround was from fear of lost sales, not for sudden concern about the gamers. Nothing changes the fact that they still wanted it in the first place.

From what I've heard, the PS4 was going to have about the same level of DRM as Microsoft announced the XBox would have... But since Microsoft announced first, they could see the backlash and then pretend no-DRM was always the plan for them.

Still, so far this Generation, I think I'm buying a PS4.

opposite, Xbox One loses the war at the moment they decided to turn around.

Now there's nothing of Xbox One stands out than PS4.

They need to:
1. remove the ads for Xbox live
2. remove the kinetic requirement
3. stop spying with the kinect
4. reduce the price
5. make it indie friendly
6. have competitive pricing on all games, digital and disk

I think it'd be a fair enough console if they removed the Kinect requirement. Still, if the price doesn't bother you and you don't think/don't care that someone could watch and listen through the Kinect, I don't see any MAJOR problems with it beyond that.

Now they just need to remove kinetic 100% requirement. and i'll consider the console. Nothing is going to keep the console from storying data and when you're force to update online due to buying a new game it then transmits all that data to M$ and to NSA.

Honestly, I was wanting a PS4 from the start, XBone was just a nice bit of Comic relief for me. Still, don't really see any significant problems with it right now, don't see any significant advantages either, 4/10 would not buy.
