Please, Shannon. Didn't you see how amazing Xbox 360 sales were in Japan?
19:35:41 Oracle
PS4 has Sucker Punch, Naughty Dog, Quantic Dream. GG.

Americabox One: The rest of the world don't care
19:34:46 Jake
It'll come down to exclusive games for me in the end. If Microsoft manages to make some interesting, new IPs.
19:34:33 Singularity
but where is share button
19:33:49 Agent Dunham
I'm not inherently opposed to it, I just don't care about it.
19:33:15 Ethan
Not only that but it seems to be alienating the hard core
19:32:48 Agent Dunham
Xbox One is for the everyman, it seems. But I wonder if it might seem to be a bit too complex for those people.
19:32:31 Jake
It doesn't seem that bad. Yes, it's basically TVBox. Or so the presentation portrayed it as. But I'm not completely against it.
19:31:52 Agent Dunham
I don't find the concept of a remote to be that offensive and the PC has more freedom for media.

There is no love, only melancholy.
19:29:39 Accelerator
Xbox 0 tbh
19:29:30 Jake
But I'll entertain that shitty notion because this is the video game industry, and I know they'll always top themselves when it comes to horrible business practices.
19:29:21 Ethan
No thread for Xbox One yet? Where's the love?
19:28:13 Agent Dunham
It's really not worth watching.
19:27:18 Jake
Then again, it could be a situation where the fee is required regardless even if the disc stays in the system. But the way it's worded doesn't make it seem that way.
19:27:05 Singularity
Still can't find a video, anyone link?
19:23:41 Singularity
Will play Halo 5's campaign on someone else's Xbox One. That's the only IP I care about.
19:22:40 Singularity
Still not getting it though.
19:22:24 Jake
Or maybe that friend wanting to own the game and then lending it to another friend.
19:20:52 Jake
It really boils down to how much the fee is and if it's worth the price of convenience i.e. not having to get off your ass and put a disc in.
19:19:31 Jake
This way the publishers/devs can theoretically make some money on used games. As opposed to now, when their cut is nada.
19:18:50 Agent Dunham
Split RAM pools. Because that worked so well for the PS3, right?
19:17:46 Accelerator
>high price
19:17:40 Accelerator
>meh specs
19:17:33 Jake
However, it isn't mandatory. And i am properly shocked that the measures taken are actually sensible.
19:16:53 Jake
I can't imagine they'd make it that cheap.
19:16:35 Jake
But how much the fee is remains to be seen.
19:16:27 Agent Dunham
ROCKET SCIENCE LEVEL STUFF
19:16:08 Accelerator

19:15:59 Accelerator
If that were the case, Microsoft shouldn't bother with the Xbox anymore and just build mechas.
19:15:21 Singularity
The Xbox turns into a robot, smacks you senseless and takes $60 out your wallet to cover the cost.
19:15:15 Jake
They just wouldn't be able to play it exclusively from the HDD unless they pay the fee. They'd need the disc.
19:14:16 Jake
Pretty much. Unless they have some nasty surprise up their sleeves.
19:13:06 Jake
Breakdown, games install on the HDD. If you buy the game new, you then own the game fully. And can platy it without putting the disc in the drive. If you buy used, it installs on the HDD. But you must keep the disc in the drive unless you pay the fee.
19:12:44 Singularity
So wait, you could buy say, Halo 5. Install it, then give it to your mate and both would be able to play?
19:12:20 Singularity
Oh. That's no big deal.
19:11:59 Accelerator
/shot
19:11:54 Accelerator
Oh shit, an Xbox that actually comes out with wireless.
19:11:45 Jake
No. It only blocks them in the sense you have to play with the disc in the drive. So pretty much how it is now.
19:11:29 Singularity
'splain, Jake.

19:11:03 Jake
They seem to be ignoring the tidbit that says paying the fee will allow you to install the game and play without the disc.
19:10:41 Singularity
So it's confirmed used games are blocked?
19:10:11 Jake
I live.
19:10:07 Jake
The GAF Xbox One Blocks Used Games thread. So much hyperbole.
19:05:59 Singularity
They actually sell pretty well, I'm fairly sure they're the best-selling video game tie-in novels. Which ain't saying a lot, but you get me.
19:04:58 Singularity
Bro the expanded universe is deeper than Master Chief's voice

19:03:57 Jake
You act as if the average Halo player knows what a novel is.
19:02:39 Singularity
Problem is it's been covered in the novels.
19:02:32 Singularity
That'd be a good place to start. Follow the Spartans through their training then kick things off with the Covenant invasion.
19:02:26 Agent Dunham
@KazHiraiCEO going to town.
19:02:07 Singularity
Maybe it's a red herring. It could just be him being told to wake up on his first day of Spartan bootcamp, when he's 6 years old - 9 years before the Covenant attack.
19:00:27 Singularity
That was Halo 4's tagline.
18:59:41 Agent Dunham
The screen said "Wake up, John"
18:59:08 Singularity
Wonder where they'll set the TV series. The new canon's pretty confusing, I can see them starting off at the beginning when the Covenant first show up.
18:57:38 Agent Dunham
I would rather watch their 2012 E3 conference.
18:56:28 Jake
TVBox.

Pretty sad that the most exciting part of the new Xbox reveal wasn't even a game. Expected as much though.
18:54:52 Agent Dunham
GAF clearly needs 300 000 servers.
18:54:16 Jake
Yeahp. ;;
18:54:03 Agent Dunham
Just died when I tried to go into the rate thread. ;;
18:53:26 Jake
Oh yes, it's back.
18:53:05 Jake
I need GAF to go back up, so I can witness the drama.
18:52:29 Agent Dunham
Xbox is truly the X-Box, where X is the entertainment product variable.
18:51:58 Agent Dunham
I feel like calling it a video game console is, at best, disingenuous and at worst, flat out wrong.
18:51:32 Singularity
No, I've never liked sport. That's why I go the gym, to compensate for 16 years of complete inactivity
18:50:31 Agent Dunham
*Not available all regions, third party services may require additional fees
18:50:05 Agent Dunham
If you like sports and the games associated with them, then you need Xbox One.
18:50:00 Singularity
Halo live action TV series. That's going to be brilliant, actually can't wait.
18:49:22 Agent Dunham
They didn't show anything, just announced it and had ol' Steve talking about how he's been playing video games since forever.
18:49:20 Singularity
Can't wait to download it on Piratebay and play it through my PS4.
18:49:10 Singularity
Seriously? That's awesome.
18:48:48 Agent Dunham
Halo TV show with Spielberg.
18:48:21 Singularity
Not even a new Halo?
18:47:56 Lymle
Cackles at them announcing blu-ray as a new feature
18:47:35 Agent Dunham
You didn't miss anything.
18:45:44 Singularity
Is it on youtube?
18:45:38 Singularity
Xbox One? lul
18:45:36 Singularity
Forgot about the Xbox reveal.

"Bungie has confirmed that there will be an Xbox One version of Destiny"
18:30:40 Agent Dunham
"i kept track during the press conference, in case you wanted to know, ms only showed 5:13.4 of actual game footage in an hour... "
18:25:02 Agent Dunham
Okay, the DRM/second-hand fee applies specifically to installing the game to the hard drive, paying for that. There was nothing said about paying to play from the disc.
18:20:57 Agent Dunham
"They said before we went in that there wasn't going to be a whole lot of games and... they weren't fucking around with that."
18:17:31 Agent Dunham
"But games will be tied to an Xbox Live account, Wired reveals—or else you'd just be able to pass games around to everyone you know. And if you want to link a game to a second account, you'll have to pay a fee"
18:17:29 Agent Dunham
Wait, is it always online or not?
18:15:14 Agent Dunham
Starts in 45 minutes, I think.
18:14:00 Agent Dunham
Major Nelson doing a hardware stream
18:13:42 Jake
GAF's still down. Cackle.
18:12:25 Agent Dunham
Don said no always online
18:10:26 Jake
And they don't have a streaming service like Sony. WHATCHU GON DEW, MS?

No BC, apparently.
