@CustomPCDesktop @cvfish @the_big_doggg Exactly. And if it does happen. You can be sure PS4 will have to adopt the policy or risk losing games such as Call Of duty, Major league and College sports title, dead space. Hell alot of games that go multiplatform. Now what do people think will happen if PS4 does adopt this.....then think what will PS4 due if it doesnt adopt this. Microsoft said that this isnt a sprint and we will wait till the consoles are on the shelves. Because thats because PS4 is rushing and giving info on the current state of now with nothing being set in stone. But with Xbox they are actually giving you a heads up what will be a possibility for next gen
I can't wait when PS4 announces the change. Because they act like their system cant do an always on check. PS4 is acting like Publishers trying to agree on DRM policies wont effect them. Xbox is being upfront. If the publishers demand the DRM policy which seems to be the case. Then PS4 will have no choice but to do so or Risk losing alot of popular standard titles for the console. If the publishers slide then microsoft can just say were not doing this anymore. And no harm no foul. PS4 talking out the side of their cheeks might come back and bite them.
@Wrathesoul EA isnt forcing anything on PS4. Just either adopt the policy or live this console generation without Major League Sports title, College sports title, Dead space, and all of the other big titles as well. Hell this stretches pass EA. What if the publishers of Call of duty do this. Could you imagine no Sports titles or call of duty on PS4. Im telling you. if this policy happens. PS4 is fucked one way or another.
@KeenoControl Thus wasbt confirmed. There has beena lot of exaggerating going around. When microsoft keeps saying about this policy that its dependent on the the publishers. if the publishers adopt this and microsft been soo up front with this. This will force 2 things from Sony. Either Adopt the used game policy(which seems they have set up with it being "Publisher" friendly) and suffer a massive fanbase back lash for lying and not being upfront. Or Suffer from now having this publishers games on their system. Could you imagine what would of happen if PS3 didnt have madden, NBA, Deadspace, call of duty or any of these big titles. Hence why Microsoft saying it isnt a sprint because I think microsoft knows whats going to happen and just wants to be upfront with it now so they dont end up in situation that could hurt both the system and the long term fan base
@derpderpa666 Exactly. Just xbox is more open about it. As we know the disc is absolutely useless after you download it as you no longer need it anymore. So its really the content and licensing for that content. And if its really up to the Publishers weather this goes through or not You can bet that it will happen for PS4. People are foolish to think if EA releases Madden for Xbox and has this new policy in place for only xbox to generate revenue and not going to do it for PS4. Its really quite foolish. The fact that PS4 stated that it made its system more PUBLISHER FRIENDLY could very well mean that they will have to adopt it and that the publishers can make changes accordingly as they most likely will do it through that service. Because if they do go through with Microsoft DMR services and PS4 doesnt except. They could just Not release the game on PS4. And do you have any idea how bad that would hurt PS4 to not get games from Ubisoft, EA, and other AAA gaming companies. And if they do conform do you have any idea of the backlash. Sony is talking alot of smack saying they dont have these policies that they might be forced to adopt or lose their games. Sony is playing the angle of oh yeah we dont have these policies for PS4. But not agreement has been made so thats technically true. Xbox is playing the positon that it could very well happen and that its up to the publishers. At the end of the day if it doesnt go through. Xbox will be in better shape. But if it does go through PS4 will be screwed because they will either have to deal with games not coming to their system from popular devs that are pushing this. Or suffer major fan backlash.
Just keep showing your hate for the DRM. Though I see why its done but it shouldnt be done. Also Always on to check game verification That needs to stop as well. But then again I cant remember the last time i turned on my Play Station or Xbox and it wasnt automatically online. I dont mind the 24 hour check up. What I do mind is what the heck happens when you dont make the 24 hour check up. But these issues are not really Big. But hell If microsoft just says yeah...Were not following through with it anymore. Then there isnt a big deal. The system is still amazing and i like the social interaction with the game system. Its just trying things to keep pace with changes and technological advancements
@jts1891 @Bregzeinkul Ok and when they hardware malfunctions and is no longer in production. You are screwed. Still buy the disc for back up and download the game. Im sure since these games are sooo PC oriented that buy the time that these servers start going down either the companies or independent companies will have a way around it. Im pretty sure you could develope a computer or a program to play this games in the future. Especially since there are emulators.
@TheWatcher000 Honestly. If Xbox one is going to be controlling your entertainments. Then i dont see the issue with always on. Because honestly sub or no sub. I can't remember the last time My xbox was actually offline. And seeing how you can voice and say xbox on and the system powers up and recognizes your voice via voice command I believe Xbox one will actually always be powered on. Also if not being able to buy used Games is really hurting you pocket that much then you shouldnt be waisting your time playing video games and should be using your time to decrease the unemployment rate. Aka Get a job. Hardcore Gamers= Grown adults living in their parents basement who either work at Best buy, walmart, or gamestop or some other business that doesnt pay middle class salaries.
