No it doesn't. Once you connect to the internet to download the day one patch It's gone. Offline mode is there.


Yeah, I've noticed, and I'm happy as hell xD

No, it's still expensive as hell and the announced games are too generic.


You don´t really know what generic means right?

what's announced for Xone? shooters, EA yearly more of the same, quick time event games and cgi trailers with no gameplay. can't get more generic than that.

So Project Sparks fall into that category? D4 too?

It sucks, but you can still leech that wi-fi or something, or worst case scenario wait till more units come out. I'm pretty sure this is only for launch units that are already in production and won't have the patch. But I could be wrong.

 

I think Microsoft has a better shot at winning this generation now, but have they won with a simple DRM change? No. They are still $100 more expensive and people still have fears about the Kinect. Also, PS4 is still more powerful.

 

Don't get me wrong. I'm a 360 fanboy, but It's going to take a lot for MS to win world wide, and even a bit to re-gain the US. We'll see once MS gets their consoles into full production gear.



It's just that simple.

• Still requires internet connection
• Still requires Kinect
• Still no backwards-compatibility
• Still $100 more than PS4
• Exclusives still look like shit compared to PS4/WiiU/PC lineup

no, Microsoft is still in last place.

Add $200 more expensive than wii u + not very diverse lineup.

They are certainly in the race now, who knows who will win though.

There are a lot of COD gamers in America. I met multiple people who told me they only purchased a PS3 because of free online. Now that both online services cost money there will be a lot of people who go with Xbox. Xbox One will have the superior online service. 300,000 servers can't be argued with


do you know how many servers sony has? superiour online service lol that was a joke right? broadband speeds across the world are a lot faster than when the 360 launched.

thing is we are not talking about the ps3 or 360. (or are we).

If you're seriously asking what's D4, then how could you call "generic" the games presentation if you weren't even paying proper attention?!
