Square's Livingstone talks next-gen; hints at always-on, used game-blocking Xbox

I COULD live with online activation code, but i WOULD hate it.

Always online? NO. Online requirement at all? NO.

Watermarked Discs

Always online DRM

No used games

No good brand new games

Kinect 2.0 (Which still has 60ms of lag)

if it has some games i want i buy it if not **** em.

you guys make this way too  complicated.

If the nextbox ends up blocking used games then that is just going to make me want the PS4 even more.

That being said I'll wait until something official is announced on how Microsoft will handle used games.

got damn the nextbox hasn't even been officially revealed and lemmings are already having a meltdown. :lol: :lol:

I think its time for MS to pull their **** togheter before the PS4 gets to many pre-orders.

I am not suprise if its true its M$ we are talking about here..I would pick pc but i dont feel like wasting thousand of dollars to upgrade it .Plus all the games will just be on the PS4 with the same experience as PC.

Well, since MS refuse to adress this rumours, start pre ordering the PS4.

Doubt Microsoft will shoot themselves in the foot, most likely old rumors and they will allow used games when the *Nextbox* is revealed.

Waiting for official announcement, don't care how good the source is considered. Blocking used games is just unbelievable, even for MS.

Someone is going to get sued. Until MS announces something everything you hear is a rumor. 

You people do know what the meaning of the word 'supposed' is, don't you?

I keep forgetting that most people that post in SW (TC EXCLUDED) somehow equate this forum to the real world...

i don't buy into rumors until they are confirmed but there literally hasn't been a single good rumor about the next xbox. if these things arn't true then why is m$ waiting so long to respond?

They would spend every day commenting on rumors. Next month you hear a lot of things at GDC.

also was charging for online when the service is free everywhere. Xbots have been brainwashed into thinking that they are getting superior service because they are paying more :lol:

Point is don't underestimate xboxt and their "but is dah microsoft" way of thinking

Supposed- believed or said by some people to be true, although you may not agree with this.

Its funny he mention it maybe he knows more then you think..Why would he say that not knowing the truth..Microsoft have their next xbox720 build already im  sure they telling developers about it..

so if my xbox bricks i cant play any of my games i guess no pgr5 for me then 

ill just wait til ms cans the idea and go from there ps4 wiiu is enough for me

I think he is saying this as more like wishful thinking on his part. Game devs want to crush used game sales and they would try anything to do it. Are they pushing this on MS who knows but I dont' think MS is going to do this.

lol comming from the guy commenting in the other thread about a rumor that xbox was more powerful than the ps4 as if it was true "he be hacker, must be true"

double standrads for the win :lol:

I don't really buy it. 

If it is true though, this console will be a spectacular failure.

I didn't say anything like that. I said he's in jail for being a hacker. 

I bet MS is on the phone to Square yelling at them. :lol:

Probably will leave the game blocking up to the publisher just like Sony is going to do.

why is basically EVERY rumor saying the xbox will be always online and used? If everyone is saying that, is it most likely true?campzor

Is it really. If everyone jumped off the cliff you would too I suppose. 

I don't see the problem. In the not too distant future ALL games will come as digital downloads, physical mediums will be a thing of the past and trading used games won't be possible anyway. It's just Steam going viral in essence. Microsoft are paving the way as usual and everyone else will follow suit.

PS4, WiiU and PC is the ONLY intelligent choice if this is true.TheWalkingGhost

wii u is a terrible choice. ps4 is the best choice by far.
