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.
"Digital Extremes are today very happy and proud to announce that Warframe’s next highlightly anticipated Prime form launches soon with Protea Prime Access arriving on all platforms on May 1st, 2024." - Digital Extremes.
GB: "After its disastrous launch all those years ago, many players are rediscovering Fallout 76 and how much it's improved."
Players had high expectations for Destiny’s latest content drop, Destiny 2: Into the Light. Not only did it have to live up to other content added due to a delay, it needed to give players faith the conclusion of the Light and Dark Saga will be worthwhile. - IS
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.
