After the Xbox One reveal being spoiled by game restrictions, this isn't a bad move. I don't really care for Zynga, so if he worsens things there, I could care less. And if he somehow improves the mess Zynga is, good for him.
@Gamer83 It does have a mic in the Wii U gamepad, but if you are using one of their 360-style controllers for it or the Wii one (but what game w/ voice chat would need that?) you'll need a headset.
@SuperKMx I know. I got a game I kinda wanted on my birthday so I exchanged it for a MS points card. I regretted that. I was thinking about Battlefield, Call of Duty, Super Street Fighter, etc. w/ The Orange Box, but everything except Persona is too expensive for me. I might get that instead.
@Mr_Stuey I see your point,but for those who buy used games & have lots of friends to lend games too, this was a bad thing. The family policy was in a way, a good thing among the lousy online policy. Who did that benefit? It wouldn't have affected me either, but some would be alienated from using an Xbox One.
@Gamer83 Pretty much sums up the problem. If they had a system update that removed these requirements, I bet the X1 would really pick up in sales. Nobody's concerned about the RROD anymore because it was fixed in the Xbox 360 S.
@Gamer83 It checks in once every 24 hours, so you're not screwed if it goes out for a bit. But one time, my wireless router broke & I couldn't go on the internet on my Wii for months because of it (then my mom finally got a new one at the store & that one has worked fine since). If that happens to the new one though, I'd be screwed, because I might not get a new one the day it breaks.
@Gamer83 Exactly. What's the benefit of enforcing online connections? It only makes it impossible for those who can't get it even if they wanted to to use the X1. Yeah, there's the X360, but it won't get all the X1 games.
If Microsoft removes the online requirements + game restrictions, the X1 could succeed. Until then, it's definitely Wii U & probably a PS4 soon after for me.
Well, it's still a missed opportunity skipping Xbox One, but I can see his opinion. At first I thought it was a bit lazy skipping Wii U & 3DS, but considering the sales, I'd probably do the same.
Interesting ideas. That's a cool way to do AI. Hopefully other devs follow suit.
Edit: I just read it isn't in-engine. The AI might be good, but it's a shame the graphics won't be like that.
@Anthinator @SuperKMx @Tasuki @antdickens Same here, minus the fact I've never been hacked on my Xbox yet. 3DS has cash, I love it way more than my 360 when it comes to downloadable games. Better UI, search filters, currency (just regular cash like in any store), etc. Hopefully Xbox can follow suit.
@Tasuki I just got mine right after the last dashboard, so I can't relate. I like this one, minus those stupid ads (rarely am I helped by one, except for one for a demo of a game I was interested in). Hopefully it has less ads, is easier to use, etc.
@Anthinator Me too. I actually liked RE6, but it did fall short of my expectations after playing Revelations. I played it on my 3DS today, & the graphics always impress me. If there's a demo on the 360, I can't imagine how it would look on a TV.
Looks notably more detailed than my 3DS. Namely the character models. The environments look smoother and less pixelated than on my 3DS's screen too. You missed some ammo on the left around 2:50, or maybe I'm thinking of Raid Mode's ammo placement.
@SuperKMx I tried it in a store, & I use Windows 7. Not sure if you used Vista or an older version of Windows before, or if we're different, but I found Windows 8 to be a bit more cumbersome than 7. If your PC has a touchscreen, it would be really fast though.
@SuperKMx Good point. I wonder when the new update will come out. Mobs can go through walls right now, and that's a big issue. It's rare, but it's been a gateway for a creeper to kill me before, so hopefully it gets fixed. We're supposed to get jungles + villager trading next update too. I can't wait.

Doesn't matter to me. I have a 250 GB hard drive for this stuff.
Re: Mattrick to Leave Microsoft, Join Zynga?

Re: Microsoft Defends Lack of Bundled Headset with Xbox One

Re: Developers Can Now Patch Their Xbox 360 Games...For Free!
A bit late, but better late than never.

Re: Xbox Live Gold Free Games Detailed
@Gamer83 Matches what I've heard. I anticipate playing it.
Re: Xbox Live Gold Free Games Detailed
I have Halo 3 (excellent game), but not Assassin's Creed 2. Good to hear.
Re: Xbox One Game Sharing May Not Have Been As Great As We All Thought
Makes sense. I'm glad to see it go, especially since this explains why it seemed too good to be true.

Re: Retailers Rejoice as Microsoft Reverses Policies
I almost forget about how happy they'd be.
Re: Microsoft to REVERSE DRM policies, make Xbox One region free?
Yeah!
Re: Microsoft Removes DRM and Internet Check-Ins from Xbox One - CONFIRMED
This is overall better, but w/ 2 smaller flaws:
Re: Xbox One: Banned Users Will Not Lose Access to Games
@Gamer83 That's sad. They should criticize those who got to decide.
Re: E3 2013: Kingdom Hearts III is Coming To Xbox One
@danschemen Those are handhelds.

Re: E3 2013: Xbox One Headset Images Emerge
Cool.
Re: Killer Instinct is Free-to-Play on Xbox One
One game! One character! No dollars! One system: Xbox One!
I can so see that being a sales pitch.
Re: Editor's Opinion: Fighting Reality
If Microsoft removes the online requirements + game restrictions, the X1 could succeed. Until then, it's definitely Wii U & probably a PS4 soon after for me.
Re: E3 2013: New Halo Teased for 2014
Why is he wearing robes?
Re: E3 2013: Minecraft is Coming to Xbox One
Is 4J making this one? Because if so, this is probably why the Xbox 360 Edition has been so glitchy lately.
Re: Microsoft Confirms Xbox One Policies
@HeatBombastic I like all but that. I have good internet, but some don't, so I think that overall is a bad idea.

Re: Pro Evolution Soccer 2014 Is A New Beginning
@SuperKMx Funny how they put so much effort yet skip next-gen & Nintendo systems. I feel this could end badly for PES '14's sales.
Re: Weekend Ahead: Win Microsoft Points!
I don't have a facebook. I have some MS Points though, so I'm good.
Re: Your New Xbox One Controller Will Last a Decade
Damn. That's great.
Re: New Xbox One Buttons Explained

Re: Here's What Xbox One Game Cases Will Look Like
@FullbringIchigo True, but I like the minimalistic look. It looks contemporary.

@Sony_70 Me too.
Re: Rumour: Kinect for Xbox One has a Confusing Name
Not the best name, but whatever. It could be worse.

Re: Live: The Next Generation of Xbox Revealed
It's for sure. Wii U & Xbox One. This blows PS4 way out of the water.
Re: Competition: Xbox Reveal Bingo!
Cool, but I'll be in school.

Re: Rumour: New Xbox Dashboard to Hit Beta in June
@Tasuki I just got mine right after the last dashboard, so I can't relate. I like this one, minus those stupid ads (rarely am I helped by one, except for one for a demo of a game I was interested in). Hopefully it has less ads, is easier to use, etc.
Re: New Sonic Won't Be Heading to Xbox
@hydeks I hope the 3DS one is good. If it isn't, that's a big mistake. Then it's one decent game on one system.
Re: Rumour: New Xbox Dashboard to Hit Beta in June
Awesome.
Re: EA Phases Out Online Passes
Great.
Re: Ken Levine Already Working on New Game
Interesting.
Re: First Stage - Resident Evil Revelations
@Anthinator Me too. I actually liked RE6, but it did fall short of my expectations after playing Revelations. I played it on my 3DS today, & the graphics always impress me. If there's a demo on the 360, I can't imagine how it would look on a TV.
Re: Talking Point: What's In A Name?
Just as long as the name isn't stupid sounding I'm fine. Xbox Fusion works, & Infinity is okay. Hopefully they have something better though.
Re: First Stage - Resident Evil Revelations
Looks notably more detailed than my 3DS. Namely the character models. The environments look smoother and less pixelated than on my 3DS's screen too. You missed some ammo on the left around 2:50, or maybe I'm thinking of Raid Mode's ammo placement.

Re: Rumour: New Xbox is Called 'Xbox Infinity'
@SuperKMx It's cool, but the UI isn't a good fit for PC. Its one crucial flaw.
Re: EA Ties Up FIFA Licence
"A little bit longer" & "until 2022." The irony.
Re: Call of Duty: Ghosts Confirmed
Interesting
Re: No Metal Gear Legacy Collection for 360
@hydeks Wish I could play it. Must've been good.
Re: Friday Five: Five PS3 Exclusives We Wish Weren't PS3 Exclusives
Infamous 2 was awesome at the store demo. Unfortunately, being 1st party, it's forever a PS3 exclusive unless Sony does what Sega did.
Re: Minecraft Retail Release Details Confirmed
@SuperKMx Good point. I wonder when the new update will come out. Mobs can go through walls right now, and that's a big issue.
