So now what happens with cloud, live etc. No more game library sharing. Lots of xbox fans will be disappointed.

Finally MS came to their senses. All those middle fingers seem to have worked. This means Microsoft just became an option again for me.

An internet connection will not be required to play offline Xbox One games – After a one-time system set-up with a new Xbox One, you can play any disc based game without ever connecting online again. There is no 24 hour connection requirement and you can take your Xbox One anywhere you want and play your games, just like on Xbox 360

Trade-in, lend, resell, gift, and rent disc based games just like you do today – There will be no limitations to using and sharing games, it will work just as it does today on Xbox 360


In addition to buying a disc from a retailer, you can also download games from Xbox Live on day of release. If you choose to download your games, you will be able to play them offline just like you do today. Xbox One games will be playable on any Xbox One console -- there will be no regional restrictions. 

Lizink?

I hope to god this is true.

As much as a few members here believe I'm some Sony troll in disguise, I'm going to miss Forza and Gears dearly if they stick with their policies.

I am. I really liked the idea of game-sharing but it doesn't have to do with the cloud - of course it is not useless immidiately. I think the game-sharing was too good to be true :(

So I guess TitanFall didn't need the whole 24-hour check and all that other stuff huh?


Anyways...
