L0SS Posted May 25, 2013 Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 “It does not have to be always connected, but Xbox One does require a connection to the Internet. We’re designing Xbox One to be your all-in-one entertainment system that is connected to the cloud and always ready. We are also designing it so you can play games and watch Blu-ray movies and live TV if you lose your connection.” It's worrying that the game aspect seems to be the third thing on their list. The signs are not good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tentacruel Posted May 26, 2013 Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 Wait, it does have to be connected but it doesn't have to be connected? Am I missing something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legend Zero Posted May 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 Wait, it does have to be connected but it doesn't have to be connected? Am I missing something?The current word is that the every day connection requirement is to check to see if your HDD has a games on it that was resold or put on another console. Plus a check for hacking attempts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sleepy Posted May 26, 2013 Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 Wait, it does have to be connected but it doesn't have to be connected? Am I missing something? Gathering what I've been hearing so far (someone correct me if I'm wrong) The console itself doesn't have to be constantly online, but you have to be online when you first play a new game, so that it can be registered into the system. Also, from what I've heard here, at least once per day it has to be online, so even if you have no new games to register, it needs to, I think, for a sort of scan of your system, to verify nothing's out of place (hacks, fakes, etc). However That is, plus the extra "requires online" time each publisher wants to add to their games individually, which I think they'll try to make some use of this in an "above-average" manner at some point. Well, it's common sense that something like HALO will have more online participation and whatnot than other games.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Dragon Posted May 26, 2013 Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 It's worrying that the game aspect seems to be the third thing on their list. The signs are not good. To be fair, motion controls don't make something less gamer-focused. How you make use of it does. Anyway, they still have the issue of "I have this cool game I want to let me friend borrow, to bad the XO doesn't allow for me to do that."

It's just that so far, the uses have been less than gamer-focused... so I'm not particularly confident about them becoming more so. As for the once-per-day connection thing, what happens if you don't connect to the internet? Can you not play the console? I'm sure they'll be plenty of ingenious workarounds before long.

Tentacruel Posted May 26, 2013 Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 To me, the rampant hate for motion controls is a painful reassurance that gamers are all fat and/or lazy and/or scared of new things or change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legend Zero Posted May 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 A friend just told me the following which makes a lot of sense."Why is MS hiding behind the excuse of 'wait until E3'? According to the schedule (http://www.justpushstart.com/2013/05/e3-2013-schedules-and-times-revealed/) they will have two hours, which they have said will focus on the X1's gaming. But now they will have to cut into that time to explain these current questions which, according to the answer, set the entire tone for their presentation. People watch E3 for games, not to learn how your system plays them."So, either three things will happen: they will cut into their time by addressing these problems, they will release the answers in a statement after (which is dumb because they could do that now and get people focused on the games), or they'll just not say anything.Though I do feel bad for them. Anything bad that they do will be a harder blow than if the PS4 has the same restriction because of the gap in time.Edit: http://kotaku.com/microsoft-doesnt-own-xboxone-com-files-dispute-agains-509919629Guy in UK is cyber-squatting on the domain names for XboxOne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Althemia Posted May 26, 2013 Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 http://i.imgur.com/c8ydFPP.pngThis is probably the worst thing about the console I've seen thus far. Also the fact that the Kinect is going to start locking the console when it detects a face that it does not recognize, from what I read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wizarus Posted May 26, 2013 Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 Sony executives must be having a party. Why is Microsoft making this so complicated; with the PS4 I don't have to worry about any of this. Online is free, no "always online" or "always connected", no Kinect crap, just a console made for games, which is what I'm looking for. Not this "tv tv tv sports sports sports"; that's what FIOS is for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
