Decline PS4 wins the console war against XboxONE, yet it is a hollow victory as Consolesdämmerung is upon us

[AstroZombie]

But you won't because you love the Codex Xbox cock.

Fixed.

Extra fixed.

 

[Cowboy Moment]

Jaesun can you rename this thread to "IDtenT trolls the world: Next-gen console edition"?

 

[DragoFireheart]

The only acceptable console purchase for a codexer is a Steambox, in a "my first PC" kind of way.

Fucking PC morons.

 

[Dexter]

Everyone who is not a graphics whore is a fag,liar and has shitty taste in games.

Well I don't know about that, but I think it's funny that the people who always go "graphyxx don't matter dawg" especially in relation to the PC as a gaming platform are often the same people who cum buckets whenever a "Next Generation of consoles" is announced/about to come out at all the "amazeballs games".

Just buy a PS3 then I guess.

GOG is from Cyprus, I think the console manufacturers hate CD Projekt.

 

[Necroscope]

But CD Projekt is from an unaffected territory.

You'd be surprised at how many companies are "from Cyprus" in that sense.

 

[Psquit]

better than the other shit around. Like obsidian.

GOG's headquarters are in Cyprus.

Well if you live in Lebanon or Oman, you have bigger problems than not being able to play with the PS4.

But don't you empathize with your Upper Hungarian bros at all?

Probably bullshit but here anyway:

The tug-of-war between Microsoft and Sony just got more interesting. Multiple sources inform me Microsoft will announce what amounts to a complete reversal on its DRM policies for Xbox One today.
What does this mean?

• No more always online requirement
• The console no longer has to check in every 24 hours
• All game discs will work on Xbox One as they do on Xbox 360
• An Internet connection is only required when initially setting up the console
• All downloaded games will function the same when online or offline
• No additional restrictions on trading games or loaning discs
• Region locks have been dropped

 

[Diablo169]

When I see it come from Microsoft themselves I'll believe it.

No. Yes, I'm evil, I know.

If they do this, it will just prove that they lied all along about the internet connection being very important for the cloud based Xbox supercomputing stuff. Not that it is not obvious.

"Ehh hehehe c'mon guys, peace?"

Yup, seems official:

That would be what? Because the only thing I can see is them taking the site off-line.

EDIT: Well damn, they are backpedaling at the speed of sound.

 

[DragoFireheart]

The PR damage has been done. M$ is still going to struggle.

You watching TGS podcast?

 

[IDtenT]

I don't see how this will change much. Most games will still use the cloud. Dropping the check-ins from official policy right now might sound good - but people will still need the net when they realise 50% of the games uses it and you might still experience backlash post release. This does however mean that the pre-orders have affected MS's judgement.
