Angry Joe is a dumbass. Specially there, even if I am not an Xbone fan but the guy in grey is right, how can Joe claim so easily that he knowsit's simple to disable it, he is not a hardware deveoper, he is some jackass who yells in front of a camera.

It's simple because the DRM is in the console, not the games. Since the DRM runs on a timer (every X hours/days/whatever it needs to check online) all you have to do is change the value of X to a value that makes the check a non-issue (like, every 100 years for example). Which, considering that the XBone will need a one time online check, is probably exactly what Microsoft did.

Images on 4chan disappear. As this one has. Which is why you don't hotlink to 4chan.
 
it hasnt for me.

and i think that joe was right, they could have changed it even if it wasnt the easiest thing to do, because we are like 3+ months away from release.

for a "quick and dirty" fix all they have to do is find where the method that "validates" the response from the microsoft servers and always return a true or passed result.

or else skip the code that sends the auth req out entirely.

honestly, anyone who designs stuff that is overly complicated to change/modify should not be writing it anyway.
 
not being able to share or sell my games in a "digital marketplace" type deal is my biggest complaint about steam.

not being able to re-sell my pc games because of product keys and other mechanisms is my biggest complaint about pc gaming.

its why i buy fewer games period. actually my major game purchases have been due to watching videos/reviews from total biscuit and zero punctuation and other people. if a game costs less than $10 to buy on steam, they have a much higher chance to sell me their game.

its much easier to swallow. its just disappointing to be a pc gamer really. the main reason i dont do consoles is because i do not enjoy the console controllers.

Well I guess I'll jump in here, I'm new to the forum but I'm a console gamer , after all the hype , the he said she said , now we know what Sony is doing as well as Microsoft , just yesterday I heard on twitter that Microsoft is putting the cheap headsets in/w the consoles now ... Ok so now what's the next big speculation ?? I pre-ordered both systems , I like them both and the fact that there are always going to be specific exclusive titles for one or the other , has me getting both .
Honestly I don't swap games, I'm 47. Ill let my son use a game , I don't care if a connect camera sees me drinking a cup of coffee while I'm playing a game! , the Sony online community doesn't stack up to the Microsoft community , but I guess you get what you pay for $50.00 vs. free , or a premium subscription will get you some free digital downloads.

So the pc community likes to mod and tweak everything , great oh and it's cheaper then consoles right ? , I'm not sure here because I know several guys that play on pc,s and they are always chasing newer , faster better, == cha-Ching .
Guess I'm at the point in life I like to go to my local video game dealer , purchase a game I want to play , go home , open it up. , insert the disc and play it , a simple concept in the year 2013 , I'm not into downloads , and crossing my fingers that it will play ok , or if my system can accommodate the size of those game ?? .... Damn this is my second post here hope I'm not putting a gun under my chin lol ..
Honestly though it all comes down to what you're into as well as you're budget , and you're knowledge of building or maintaining a pc game system , most people I know and have been gaming with over the last 6-7 years are on both of the above consoles, so that's where I lean towards , hence this is my online social life , lol
Then the other big factor is what you can afford? Times are tight right now,some people are trying to feed a family or pay for college courses or books , so each purchase has to be planned or thought out , and if trading games amongst peers is helping , or swapping downloads then you gotta do what ya gotta do right , I'm fortunate and I'm a game buying , stockpiling , nut ! Lol I enjoy gaming , I'm retired and this is what I'm into , either way I'm sure everyone will find a way to enjoy this upcoming game season , there's always Santa clause , lol. :D
 
you do not have to chase the newer bestest stuff.

and i dont really know of a game that you cannot just plug in and play. unless it requires a controller.

regardless of if you are into downloads, consoles are moving to the download mechanisms.

and PCs offer more storage. PS4 and Xbone will only have 500 gig hard drives.

PCs are stupidly easy to maintain. blow them out at least once a month. make sure you have a good power strip or maybe even a UPS.

neither the xbox or playstation online community comes close to the PC community.

you cant really trade/share games with people unless you live in like germany that has laws guaranteeing your right to sell your games.
 
There are people who build powerful rigs with the most up-to-date equipment, yes. Using a PC gives you an option to spend lots of money on hardware, which allows to play games on highest settings at the largest resolutions, do powerful video editing, and so on.

Just because the option is there, doesn't mean it's mandatory. You can build (or buy) an average PC which costs little more than any new-gen console. Then you can update it further down the line with better individual parts. That ends up being cheaper than buying, for example, a PS3 and then a PS4.
 
What?

No, words cannot describe this. I can't wrap my mind around the point of this so to even be capable of summarizing it. Just see for yourselves....

WHAT is wrong with the world???
 
I wish that's what it was. But the glaringly obvious trolling COMMENTS aside, that looked like a genuine petition by users who truly felt like Sony somehow screwed them out of "progress" for the X1. Actual, honest, brain-dead people. Hence why it was reported to only have around 1,000 signatures so far. Some may look at it and think "Oh good, only about 1,000 people are that stupid", but I can't help but see a much worse issue at hand. Namely, that ANYONE would look at what the X1 initially offered and consider that "innovation", not to mention the prolific sentiment that every pitfall for Microsoft is Sony's fault...
 
This is hilarious. First Microsoft says that the console will need to have a constant Internet connection to work. Shit happens and they backpedal. Now the XB1 can be played completely offline!

Well...except for the mandatory one-time online activation. What's that? You don't have internet? You don't have broadband internet? You are maybe a soldeir stationed god-knows-where? Sucks to be you.

But, well, ok. it's just a one-time activation. It's a hassle, but after that you can use it completely offli...OH WAIT! Forza 5 will ALSO need a one-time mandatory download to be able to play, wether it's online or offline. Why? Because the discs won't have the whole game, officially because the developers want to add tracks and cars till the very last minute. And the game can't work without this extra stuff because...?

I'm speechless...

From the moment these consoles were announced (particularly the Xbox One) I've been treating the whole thing as a comedy.

People may be stupid and easy to manipulate, but I doubt that most are also creative enough to initiate something like that.

it's not going to age very well.

The PS4 is almost speced the same except while the PS4 has the same GPU it has more shaders and ROPs the whole system has GDDR5 ram vs DDR3 which makes for massive performance increase due to the massively increased throughput.


over time the xbone will be more and more limited while PS4 is gonna be able to eek out a little more performance where the xbone is tapped out.
 
none of them will age well compared to the PC.

not unlike the 360.

the PS3 never hit its stride because developer reticence to actually learn the architecture and how to use it.

they had hit the technological limits of the 360 within like a year of its release because the hardware specs were so horrible.

at least with the xbone the first technical limitation they will hit wont be the RAM or texture size. but it will still probably be GPU limitations.
