A lack of surprises really, although Nintendo tend to reveal stuff at regular intervals now rather than showing it all at E3.

Mario Kart 8 was probably the most impressive visually out of the big 3. Smash Bros. looks too similar to Brawl at the moment, but it's probably not out until Christmas 2014 and they'll likely reveal it bit by bit like they've done in the past.

And I read that if someone it doesn't recognise comes in the room they have to identify themselves. :lol: So presumably if that's the case, then it would have to keep a record of names and faces? It all seems a little silly. Not to mention that it's all a side issue from actual games.

It doesn't really make any sense because they say you can play games at a friends house so long as you're signed in to your profile. If that's the case then why would they have it that you're restricted from er....playing games on your profile at home.

It would be extremely hard to sell this to anyone new to console buying, even those with brand loyalties probably think it's not worth jumping through hoops to play a few game that are exlusive...and pay a lot more for the privilege.

Also, given that the PS4 will be subscription based for online play, you would think that means there isn't such a discrepancy as there is now between download times and reliability for online play, so that's another plus point MS would lose out on.

We appreciate the passion," Mattrick said in an interview with Gametrailers, via GamesIndustry.biz. "It's important that people share their ideas, but people are imagining outcomes that we believe are worse than what it's going to be like in the real world.

"When we designed the box we paid attention to what it means to connect to the internet. The average internet connection is working the majority of the day. People are imagining that it isn't, but I don't feel that's the world we live in."

Apparently, Microsoft "absolutely" expected games enthusiasts to resist Xbox One's online setup, but feels it has built a "future-proof" machine. "I think in the long run, we'll build a global leading product that people are going to love and embrace."

In any case, he went on, "we have a product for people who aren't able to get some form of connectivity - it's called Xbox 360. If you have zero access to the Internet, that is an offline device."

Elsewhere in the chat, Mattrick cautioned players at large against making judgements without the benefit of firsthand experience. "It's very important to them and they're opinionated. And they're smart. So they look at all those things and say 'hey, is this going to impact me in a negative way?' And until you use it, it's really hard to understand what all the advantages are."

Microsoft are removing DRM and the used game policies !



An internet connection will not be required to play offline Xbox One games – After a one-time system set-up with a new Xbox One, you can play any disc based game without ever connecting online again. There is no 24 hour connection requirement and you can take your Xbox One anywhere you want and play your games, just like on Xbox 360.

Trade-in, lend, resell, gift, and rent disc based games just like you do today – There will be no limitations to using and sharing games, it will work just as it does today on Xbox 360.

It's not quite like that, like the tedious investigations to set things up but there are a lot of glitches (maybe because of the size of it) and they keep putting extras in that aren't much fun - the lockpicking of chests is horrendous. Instead of idiots with lutes you get begging kids but unlike on that one you can't give them a good smack. :whistle:

Longest intro for a game I think there has ever been too.

Having said all that, it still has the storyline, which I think is still worth putting up with all the other rubbish for, given I believe this actually gives some resolution to Desmond's story (only on Sequence 6 out of 12 myself).
