Cube Posted July 12, 2013 Author Posted July 12, 2013 There's a petition online for people to sign to get the DRM rules re-applied to the Xbox One. If it does occur, then it will be re-branded the Xbone 360. Peoples opinions on this? Why would people want it? If there was actually a decent benefit for customers from the system, they would have kept it for digital games.
Jimbob Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 Digital DRM would have worked, but not the disk-DRM.
Cube Posted July 12, 2013 Author Posted July 12, 2013 Which was my point: if these features were actually incentives, Microsoft would have used them to entice many, many people to opt in to the DRM by getting the digital versions.
Charlie Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 Why would people want it? If there was actually a decent benefit for customers from the system, they would have kept it for digital games. What I would want from a new console - Digital Downloads, don't care about DRM. I'm not going to sell or trade in any games or buy them second hand. No game boxes or swapping disks. - Share games with friends, Microsoft's system was perfect for this. Only people I'd share with are family and they'd download it once and it'd be there forever. - No restriction on checking in every 24 hours
Happenstance Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 Wasnt it revealed that the family plan had some pretty major restrictions anyway? Like the versions you let others used were either pretty much demos or timed?
Agent Gibbs Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 Wasnt it revealed that the family plan had some pretty major restrictions anyway? Like the versions you let others used were either pretty much demos or timed? yeah leaks were on GAF the family plan was basically a glorified demo system! you could play a shared library game for an hour....and worse still it was not an hour a day,week,month it was only an hour EVER and then you had to buy the game,possibly discounted. They didn't publicisise it because it wasn't a good feature, after the leak people went through previous press releases and the details were there just so badly worded it made the system seem much better than it was i mean who really thought MS who were implementing drm wouldallow you to share your library with 10 others, full games with 10 others?the right group of people and you could have access to a giant library
MindFreak Posted July 22, 2013 Posted July 22, 2013 (edited) What the ...? They've apparently removed the picture again. Edited July 22, 2013 by MindFreak
bryanee Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 So the one launch game that was supposed to show off what Kinect 2.0 can do has been delayed until next year. Kinect Sports btw. So why exactly do I need a Kinect at launch? Other than to bark voice commands which I will never do, well maybe once but then I'll turn on the pad.
Cube Posted July 31, 2013 Author Posted July 31, 2013 (edited) Details on Smart Match In attempt to better explain the Xbox One, Microsoft have released some details on the matchmaking. As previously stated, you can be playing another game while matchmaking is starting. Can someone explain the point of this feature? I can't think of any console game that I would want to play when it would get cut off at any point between 30 seconds and 15 minutes. How many Xbox One owners won't have access to any kind of handheld console, tablet or smartphone? As handheld games (which you can continue at the next wait) Also, people are using this to assume that the Xbox One can run a game while suspending another (even though a suspended game still takes up the same amount of RAM as it does when it's running). Edit: I suppose there's the fact that games can load straight into the action when you boot them, but any developer could have done that on current consoles. Edited July 31, 2013 by Cube
Daft Posted August 7, 2013 Posted August 7, 2013 Xbox One’s Game Recording Features Restricted To Xbox Live Gold Members Stoopid. So the hardware you bought has been designed to account for this feature in terms of allocating resources, but you're locked out of it if you don't pay. Standard.
Rowan Posted August 7, 2013 Posted August 7, 2013 Not sure if it's still the case but it reminds me of the fact that the PVR aspects of a Sky+ box is locked out unless you're paying a subscription. Can't see anyone who is buying an X1 as an AV entertainment box and not for it's gaming be too keen to pay £30 a year for a TV guide and Skype.
Happenstance Posted August 8, 2013 Posted August 8, 2013 Every U turn they make on this stuff, while good for the customer still feels incredibly desperate on their part. They may as well just buy everyone hookers and get it over with.
Sheikah Posted August 8, 2013 Posted August 8, 2013 It basically sends out the message that they are out of touch with with customer expectation. They obviously don't know what we want from the next series of consoles so keep having to change things they've announced after there's been a backlash.
Jimbob Posted August 8, 2013 Posted August 8, 2013 Another U-Turn. What next, backwards compatibility?
Daft Posted August 8, 2013 Posted August 8, 2013 All they do is have to make it smaller and cheaper, get rid of the Xbox Live paywall and invest in first party studios across the world.
Hero-of-Time Posted August 8, 2013 Posted August 8, 2013 Xbox One’s Game Recording Features Restricted To Xbox Live Gold Members Stoopid. So the hardware you bought has been designed to account for this feature in terms of allocating resources, but you're locked out of it if you don't pay. Standard. Sony's response. After we learned that Xbox Live Gold will be necessary to record and stream video of games on the upcoming Xbox One, many wondered if Sony Computer Entertainment would pull the same stunt with the similar feature on the PS4. Since Shuhei Yoshida is well known for running an alternative “customer service” on Twitter, by his own admission, many took to the social networking site to ask him the burning question, quite a few times. Luckily the answer is no. Yoshida-san confirmed that the recording and streaming feature will be accessible to everyone, regardless of their PlayStation Plus subscription status.
Daft Posted August 8, 2013 Posted August 8, 2013 Shuhei is a legend. I'd love to know how he gets any work done with all the time he spends on twitter.

Cube Posted August 8, 2013 Author Posted August 8, 2013 First response: OMG! That power brick is huge. Second response: What? That's actually Kinect??? How the hell does that fit under your TV?
Jimbob Posted August 8, 2013 Posted August 8, 2013 First response: OMG! That power brick is huge.Second response: What? That's actually Kinect??? How the hell does that fit under your TV? Xbox One - The only console, where the required accessory is bigger than the power supply.
Shorty Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 Really, cos I'm fairly sure my Mega Drive had controllers bigger than the power brick.
