Yeah but what does that mean for third party games? If EA is going anti-used route I can still see them pulling punches with the PS4, or other third parties.
But it looks like first party titles won't require internet at all for sure. They are saying it can be enjoyed WITHOUT Internet connection, but that doesn't necessarily mean EA will be cool with that with *THEIR* games.
I don't care either way but this is great for the consumer so... good for them. |
That exclusive game mode for Fifa, Ultimate team that Xbone is getting is likely a gesture of thanks of EA to M$ for enforcing DRM while Sony didn't. Although at first it may not seem much, but Ultimate team is HUGE over here in Europe. I am not a massive Fifa fan but I played some and the way everyone hypes up Ultimate team, I was really surprised that EA actually made that mode exclusive to the Xbone when Fifa sells more on Playstation because that is the more popular console in Europe. EA are definitely trying to push some Xbones out in Europe with that decision and I don't think M$ simply paid for the content. But only time will tell.

Ok. But I mean other parties will probably still be against this. But overall if they still want to sell games they'll put them out regardless.
Again, good news for the consumer. People who will just buy the PS4 over the XBox One just because of the anti-used and mostly always online will score big.

I don't see 3rd parties alienating almost half their entire userbase just to get a little bit of money from used games sales compared to the overall scheme of things. The publishers also need to sell their games and they are already in tough times breaking even. They can't afford to not put their game on PS4 because 3rd party exclusives for major companies are almost non-existent these days. At best its just timed DLC or stuff like that.
