**XBOX ONE** Official Thread

"Also, similar to today, playing disc based games will require that the disc be in the tray." That's a shame but I think this is necessary and the bad press this has made will be soon forgotten by the masses (if they cared in the first place).
 
Have to say am a bit gutted the family share option has gone, I was in the minority that wasn't bothered by 24 hr check, while its gonna be great to game like today I feel we're gonna miss out on some great features. It's funny how most of the people who were complaining about 24hr check are all coining it via the Internet so have Internet access
 
Brilliant. All they need to do now is drop the forced kinect and remove it from the package to drop the price.

Also what will their excuse be for all the 'Power of the cloud' BS they were spewing?
 
I think this just shows how ******* stupid the gaming market is. Do you remember the rage at Steam when it launched? Now look at it, it single handedly revived the PC gaming market. I never thought gamers could be so utterly afraid of change.

People love to moan and change scares the hell out of them. This is utter idiocy from the public and has stunted the growth and development of the industry for probably another console cycle. There will be no incentive for devs to bother using the cloud systems to any great extent with these changes.
 
So whats going to happen to games like Forza 5 that need to use the Cloud for the game to work correctly? They can hardly say that it doesnt need to be online, when most of the games need the cloud to work?:confused:

All this has done is slowed the move to an all digital gaming experience, which clearly most people didn't want anyway. This is a massive win for consumer rights.

These games will need Internet, simple.
Just means they have far to much cloud capcity. Consumer digital rights has just been set back a decade, as no other manufacturer is going to try to introduce sensible DRM, that was actually far more consumer sided than anything anyone's seen before.
 
So basically in this new generation is...we are not moving forward and getting nothing really new, basically we are getting graphically better machines?....brilliant.....good going.
 
As much as it would be good they made too much song and dance about kinect integration and TV to drop that too.

I mean remove that and why would you buy it over ps4.

They say they've "listened to consumers" but it's obvious they were running scared due to the fact the X1 was getting a kicking by Sony for pre-orders.

Really? The set out their plan, people said very clearly they didn't like it and weren't ready for a Steam like digital distribution model yet so MS listened and changed their plan to respond to the feedback from their customers. Seems like the sort of thing a decent company does, why do you feel the need to do the whole "running scared" thing when a company has actually done the right thing by their customers?

Sorry, but Kudos to MS as far as I'm concerned.

They already said that was entirely optional, it would just download the next data the next time you connected.

That's the problem they didnt set it out, people have been posting incorrect info throughout this thread, most people still don't have a clue what they were trying to do and even now we have people saying great they've reintroduced second hand games, actually second hand games was always part of xbone.

Sorry. I meant I disagree that consumers are worse off now. I think completely the opposite.

Errr, yes?
No more games stored on the cloud - you need the CD to run.
No more family share

Don't care about either of those at all. What I do care about is being able to buy/sell my games as i wish, to who i wish and not have any expectation to keep my console online.

Anyway. Onwards and upwards now!

People voted with their wallets (pre-orders) and they back pedaled. You're naive if you think they did it out of the goodness of their hearts.
