Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Microsoft Studios’ creative director defends always-online Xbox 720

Oh my god lol. Is anyone just enjoying this?

I'm just reading all the comments and just laughing.

Yeah, cuz it's not like vacuums inherently need the electricity to function, after all. If the next Xbox had to be always online, it would simply be because they wanted it to. This guy is just a PR-fueled idiot.



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

This makes the "people will get 2 jobs to buy the PS3" statement seem tame.

don't be surprised, MS has already shot themselves in the foot with Windows 8 and there's another foot waiting



Seems like an always online Nextbox is pretty much confirmed. Microsoft just won 3rd place in this next gen.

Always on requirement? Sorry, but I wouldn't trust any company to be gracious enough to patch the machine so it no longer needs to phone home when they decide they're going to force obsolescence. And that would just be my long term concern as a consumer. Short term, I wouldn't want some artificial requirement preventing me from playing single player games.

This coming from the same company that brought you Windows 8, I wouldn't put it past them to stick to their guns.

To each their own; there were fools who bought SimCity. Not saying it's a bad game, but buying it is a message to EA that you don't mind the direction they took - a shame given how much I've enjoyed the series.



PS5 will have a Cell processor then



If this is any indication of what the box could be then I honestly can't see how even the staunchest of Xbox supporters could still support the console. It feels like every gen MS tries to do something that can nickle and dime the consumer in the worst possible way. Last time it was pay for online gaming and this time it's always online.

They were lucky Sony screwed up big time with PS3 which propelled the 360 above and beyond what it would have been, but this time it doesn't seem they'll be so lucky. It's going to be interesting to see how this plays out in the long run.

The guy is a douche bag, and actually is pretty insulting, what do you mean you live in a place that doesn't have the top end fiOS connections, you should move to one that does. I live 20 minutes for Janesville, its a beautiful place plus it is one of the region headquarters of Charter is located there which is one of the companies that helped with putting Live on the map. Why would you live there? I find it more beautiful and safer then Washington or California, I don't like either but I wouldn't down play others preference to live in a place.


i just googled Janesville and it looks like a rather beautiful place to live in, this guy is a douche and that i agree on. 

here is one of the pics i found
