People are actually ok IF they ued a similar spec.

But hell those PC are using HP's nVidia machines and not even W8!

pwned.....

Yup true. This is totally unacceptable la. This means what? They still havent finish making the console? How dare they deceive us gamers. Hehe

I read the news about this and its actually just normal practice. Of course how different parties take it can be vary and some may not appreciate the deception, while I can only imagine how AMD must feel when they heard this

If we can't get into XBLA, don't you think that it will affect the dreaded online check as well ?

We don't mind if they use something else for demo purposes but at least "A similar spec" shud be honoured, right?

I honestly don't think there will be *major* impact.
Its just that we will be restricted to some XBLA content if it wasn't released for our region.

As of now only Capcom & MS practices region locking for XBLA content (RE4 wasn't available for SG marketplace for some time etc)


Whether we can use our SG GT (I assume most Msia 360 players registered under SG) on Xbone on Day 1 remains to be seen.


Thinking about it for the past few days, I think its wiser to wait for both Xbone and PS4 to official launch in our region before making a purchase.

Looking at the 2 pillar titles for these system (Destiny and TitanFall), I highly doubt we will enjoy a playable latency if the 'cloud' servers were not located in APAC.

If the "Family Share" thing works as what Major Nelson said (its definitely going to be publisher restricted) I would hope to form a circlejerk of XBone "family" members to share games, boleh jimat duit to go cheong yo.

Only if it doesnt turn out to be another Aliens Colonial Marines fiasco.

Or if they use higher and better hardware since Nvidia has been touting that their best cards will be at least 4x faster than the upcoming next-gen.

the "family members share"? here how it works according to major nelson.

- only one gamer can play at a given time.
- if you share let say with 3 gamers, they CAN NOT play the games simultaneously.

this feature i think works best for Single player games.

If can get 3-4 dedicated people to buy 1 title EACH every month and share among said 3-4 people only, its like buying new games for 25% of the list price.


... I think my math failed somewhere.

It works best with Friends you know, so you can save more on title that's more towards Single Player

in 2015 though...thats a very long time in waiting....

So today Kotaku reported somebody @ Gaf datamined Steam and found out "GameSharing Libray" in the client. XBone is not the special one.


My 2 cents/conspiracy theory:

"GameSharing" is not platform control but publisher control.
The degree of the game's content that can be shared will vary from publisher.

From business POV, it makes no sense that JRPG publishers will allow full sharing because to them it will be a loss revenue.

For MP focus games, the shared account will only be allowed to advanced to a certain level cap, to 'unlock' further he must buy the full game.

To not abuse "game library", the primary user must login every 24 hours to re-validate the licenses. Failure to do so will render the shared account to not have access to the library. This deterrent was establish to mitigate abuse of the shared library with no impact to the primary user.




TLDR:

Our wet-dream of getting 10 LYN people to share purchases might not be able to come true.

Pbbseller/LY seller profit margin maintain kekal & kuat into the next-gen!

Sekian terima kasih.

YESSSSS...

XBOX 1 will not implent online drm and lock sharing games anymore:)

Congratulations XBoners. Welcome back to the land of used games, region-less locking, and offline gaming

Let's continue to co-exist happily

war console...

kita yang untung...

that's great, will the Xbox work here now

Agree. End of the day all of us are gamers

While we can fight & taunt each other online in games or cyberspace, ultimately we must stick with each other when it comes to gaming

So we are losing the ability to share games now? 1 Gold Live for whole Family? Disc Based games need disc to be in tray for authentication? Online Pass coming back? what about renting/resell policy?

It kinda suck now, everything goes back to stone age (like xbox360 other than no region lock, GT Lock like PS3?) no more Premium Console.
