| radha said: I dont understand how people are still be considering the xbone, is less powerful than ps4, more expensive and is restrictive, then there is the security issues, and the forced kinect. Why would anyone want that? the only reason i find for buying one is emotional attachment to the brand. @op some of your arguments are unrealistic, like the "DRM will be left to the publisher", MS is a publisher, all their games (Halo, GeoW, Fable, Forza..) will have DRM, or it would not make any sense for them to build the infrastructure if they are not going to set the example. So their biggest games will have DRM. About the security part, trusting that they will respect your privacy out of good will is naive, MS has been guilty of monopoly practices several times, they dont play fair, that is a historical fact. And the thing about needing to be connected to harness the power of the cloud, the cloud are a group of virtual machines hosted remotely, you can send then task to gather statistics ver the network, sync players, and stream some assets and other things, but you cant use it to help the physics engine or the graphics cards those things move Gigabytes per second, is all a PR twist. and anyway what the xone can actually do can be done by the ps4 too, in fact by any device that can access the internet, yet you dont see IOS games looking like crisys 3. So why would is the xbone a viable choice??? i seriously dont get it |
Yep, MS saying they are leaving DRM up to the publisher is bullshit. They back peddled and used Sonys PR because Sony told the truth that they werent going to have DRM but publishers would have to fess up if they want it.EA is mumbling to themselves about it, so we know now they dont like that negative spotlight on themselves. They need to make games with more utility if they want full price for a game.
