Damn, so it really is just a glorified demo then. Wait then why the hell is there a 10 person limit to a demo? Can't everyone just dl and play the demo.

CBOAT on gaf also confirmed the 60 minute limit, it was just a glorified demo for your friends and family.

Why do people quote this guy as if everything he says is fact? He also said PS4 users would not have to pay to play online.

I don't get why they would need to remove this feature if it's just a glorified demo library.


because they only put it in the first place to try shut people up. it didnt work so they removed it because they never really cared about it or providing something good for gamers. if it doesnt make money for them, they simply wont add a feature, something that cant be said about both sony and nintendo

Lol... you actually believe that?

yes, im not saying nintendo or sony arent after money, they are. but they arent willing to fuck over their consumer to get it. a simple case is upgrading the HDD in their console. in the PS3 you can use any HDD, same for the WiiU. guess if you can do that with the 360 or if you need to buy on overpriced HDD for microsoft them selfs. what about bluetooth headsets? tell me one significant thing microsoft did like that

He made the prediction that PS4 would have no paywall for MP and was wrong. And in that same thread he made a couple MS E3 predictions that were also dead wrong. All I am saying is its weird to see people taking his word as sheer fact. He has been wrong plenty of times.


Exactly it was just a prediction. It wasn't something that he stated as a fact. 

If you have a Gaf account check out his post history then you'll know why people treat everything he says as a fact.

How is that all the OP got from that blog?

All-in-all, the author is adamant that the Xbox ONE is an incredible system with a very strong gamer focus.

You're harping on prediction, but you know what I mean. He has been dead wrong plenty of times. Did you all enjoy that Prince of Persia game MS showed?

What I want to know is... Who's fucking idea was it?!

Who thought this would actually be a good idea? Who thought that people would stand for that shit?

My money is on Sony's inside man, Agent Harrison.


What a guy.

On a more serious note though, I wonder what this means for the future of the brand.

This is what I don't get about this, why have all the restrictions of one at a time, only 10 friends, etc.  When they could just implement this to all digital games they sell, its stupid.  Makes me wonder how true this really was but I doubt we will ever know for sure.

Pretty much sharing a glorified demo. Happy they changed their shit or else I would have definitely gotten a Ps4 instead.

Okay he doesn't have a perfect record. I'm pretty sure though that he has +95% accuracy. So it's very very likely that he's right.

 

Edit: Also, the PoP thing is changeable. Maybe they were planning on showing it or something. But this is either right or wrong and he said that it was right.
