It's great when people make bold statements. By all means give me a run down of your video gaming experience, sure it would be an interesting read. That's the funny thing, in your own statement you used the term adding levels/changing characters and adding new modes. LBP does that. Ok it might not be modding in the hardcore sense, i.e I cannot change an XML file on the device to improve the graphics resolution, but I am using your generalist terms... that *YOU* used. Ultimately regardless of if its a dev kit or a machine that can run Xbox home made games written in XNA.. I can right now make a game for the Xbox 360, test it on my own Xbox and then follow a process and get it released on the Arcade. Please tell me why you think using the term "dev kit" makes it any different. The process may not be the same on the XboxOne, but If i am able to make and distribute a game and sell it on the platform, it doesnt matter an inch if its a dev kit or not. This is no different than now. Hopefully the process will be easier than the Arcade process (because its pants ). You are talking matter of factly, considering MS have not yet released any information about their users making games yet, I think you should be careful not to stray in the "this is truth" that other people are getting criticised for. Also I think you are just being a bit silly with these comments you are making... Im 1000000000000000000000000000000000% certain, Xbox One will have loads more unique Indie games than PS4 or Wii U could ever imagine. And a massive Modding channell.... Really... I think you are trying way to hard to make yourself feel better about how badly MS have handled this whole XboxOne debacle. |
Its got nothing to do with feeling better.
Right now after indie devs will have known for ages that PS4 exists, they still exclusively even last week release games on Xbox. Exclusively.
Not one single person has explained why on earth Microsoft would make EVERY single Xbox One a dev kit. Not a seperate special sku or anything. Every one. By gen end their will be possibly between 50 - 200 million Xbox One devkits in the wild depending on how it sells at retail.
Noone has explained at all wy Microsoft are doing this.
Thats because they dont want to admit that its people can make or mod games at will if they want to. Simple. What other reason is there? Please elaborate because from an irony side Im not looking like the desperate one. Im looking like the rational one. Where others are calling bluff yet cant explain why Microsoft would have 200 million devkits out there.
Lets look at this. Xbox One has the most varied lineup in its first year. Is a devkit and has 6 First Party studios yet to announce any games. Out of the box does not have stuff in there unusable without a further purchase ( like the PS4 controller ) and isnt in financial difficulty resulting in no borrowing for 10 years.
That doesnt sound like someone being desperate, its starting to look quite one sided unless Sony can actually SHOW us these AAA games they are working on instead of promises. Cause right now the PS4 games lack so much.
