1. Confirmed Microsoft is actively attempting to get developers to not mention PS4 versions. If they don't say "OUR GAME IS EXCLUSIVE FOR XBONE" expect a PS4 version. #truthfact

2. More DRM messaging at Gamescom. There is no rental strategy. Try to sweep it under the rug and hope people don't remember.

3. Cloud power was designed as DRM. Period. DRM was Microsoft's idea. EA and Ubisoft are supporters, Activision slightly less so.

4. DRM plans are actually worse than what they've stated.

5. Mirror's Edge 2 at MS conference.

6. Prince of Persia (reboot?) at MS conference.

7. Secret Phil Spencer game = World of Tanks

8. Live paywall still there.

9. Dead Rising 3, and exclusive DLC for another Capcom game at MS conference.

10. No online paywall for PS4. Unconfirmed.

11. No DRM info for PS4.

Ignore his post, he posts like that for he won't get caught. He's posted information before in the past, and he's been right. We'll find out tomorrow if we'll see ME2 and DR3.

Its merely hours away though.

This guy apparently leaked details about the 360 in 2005 too.

 

I believe him.

I'm pretty sure Sony confirmed their service would still be free.

If these rumors are true things won't be looking good for the Xbox One. Even a new Mirror's Edge (I loved the first one) won't stop them from bad sells. And Sony's silence is not a good sign.

HOW does Microsoft think its going to survive the next-gen with this horrible console!? HOW!?

[grahamf]

I honestly think Microsoft is Looking at steam and thinks it can work on consoles. On steam you can't loan or transfer game licenses at all. I never cared because all of my games (except Bioshock Infinity) cost less than $10 (I take advantage of sales).

Microsoft says themself that the disk is there only as a courtesy for those who can't wait for the game files to download off of the internet.

I just can't see this working for microsoft.

Sorta reminds me of that old rumour about the Xbone not including a disc drive at all. Microsoft has dug itself to far to properly redeem itself, they could announce a proper Banjo Kazooie title worth it's name and offer the entire system for $300 outright and i still wouldn't touch it with a 12 foot pole.

I imagine Micrisift will end up doing a complete 360. All this drm crap and stuff will be highly unpopular, but I do belive it's intergral to being able to install directly onto the hard drive, and cannot easily be changed.


And yes, the 360 is intentional. I don't think there's any going back from this.

I should really be waiting until after the conference though.

What does DRM stand for again?

[Socalmuscle]

What does DRM stand for again?

Digital rights management.

Or "permission" from them to play your game.

Digital rights management.

Permission to play THEIR game, for a temporary amount of time they decide.

You will never own a single thing you buy on xbone.

At this point I've pretty much given up on the Xbox One, and that's not good when the system hasn't even come out yet. 

[DéliopT]

Oooohh boy! This is going to bite MS in the ass sooner or later.

[Desert Punk]

The thing about steam is your account moves with you as you update your PC. I'm sure PC's will be with us for a long time.

 

The xbox one may only exist for 5 years as a major platform (or a lot less with the way its going currently) and then your game leasing is likely to die with the end of the console.

 

Anything you have bought for the xbox one could be dead money.

 

This seems like something that may have worked if the xbox one was totally state of the art but its frankly a real mess of a console anyway and massively inferior to ps4.

5. Mirror's Edge 2 at MS
conference.
6. Prince of Persia (reboot?) at MS
conference.

6 not, 5 was close.. maybe this guy only knew the earlier plans.

*shudder* the dark age has arrived. Consoles always had that as a plus in my mind. Now? Help us Nintendo and Sony, you're our only hope!

[SoldMyWiiUAndLeftTheForums]

SONY, I AM BUYING YOUR PS4 YOU AMAZING B*****DS YOU!!!!!!!!! PS4 1,000,000% nailed it.

[Ixchel]

[ChrisTerror]
