EDGE - Fresh documents posted on vgleaks.com related to the next Xbox are real, our source has confirmed.
Our insider described the screengrabs from the Durango SDK on vgleaks.com as “entirely legitimate”, although they contain much of the same information we revealed on February 6th, and were circulated to developers working with the console last year.
Saad from eXputer: "Utilizing its myriad strengths and masterful design, Elden Ring ruined gaming for me in a way I'll always be thankful for."
It sounds like you’re just an eldenring fan and not so much a fan of games by and large. Which theres nothing wrong with.
These are the easy Achievement/Trophy Games for the week of April 29th - May 5th, 2024
Microtransactions have gotten ridiculously overpriced in recent years, with titles now offering cosmetic skins worth more than some games.
There never was, the only time I paid for a microtransaction was on Blacklight Retribution (PS4) and it was because I enjoyed the game a lot so I felt the devs should get something for all that entertainment (€5 "membership")
I couldn’t believe what Blizzard charged for horse armor and cosmetics in Diablo 4…
I remember back in the day when a season pass was $15 and you got everything included in it. Now, I see them at $60 and you still don’t get everything.
As soon as gaming wasn't deemed nerdy anymore, and reached the casuals this happened. We're smart, but casuals play mobile games and other stuff, and don't really have anything to compare. They think gaming is supposed to be like this and pay for in game purchases.
Oh dear. Edge were pretty much spot on with their sources as far as the PS3 was concerned so we have to give them credit here too.
"With this “Always On, Always Connected” design, users will quickly and easily enjoy their connected entertainment experiences, with no waiting for the console to restart or install games"
Is that really the benefit of this design? The PS4 doesn't require you to be always on, always connected and still manages to achieve (according to what was shown) what was elucidated above.
But this did make me realise one thing; my hardware is already always on as it is; my smartphone is connected either via 3G or WiFi, my 360 and PS3 auto-sign in as soon as I turn them on, same goes for my PC.
So as far as this always on business is concerned, the only real issue is making sure I don't watch porn or prance around in my room dancing to Tom Jones like Carlton from Fresh Prince of Bel Air if my 720 is located there in case MS are watching me.
OH Sheet.
In an earlier thread I pointed out that it says 'always on', which could just mean 'in a standby state', but this new info has 'always on, always connected' which suggests it IS going to require network connectivity. Surely, even if this is true at the moment, Microsoft will remove it from the final build. It just seems very risky when you consider that a huge amount of people can't afford or even can't get broadband.
So it has nothing to do with used games then? Always on refers to power not internet. Sounds just like what the PS4 is doing so you can start your game where you finished it straight away.
Edit: On a side note the pic for the article is a bit random...
How is this not rumor as well? Gonna wait for official reveals and not worry about what if's from mere rumors.
