NowGamer: ''Xbox One developers are people too, you know.
There's no denying there's been a lot of negativity surrounding the Xbox One since, well, way before it was even revealed and was rumoured to have the always-on DRM.
But now that Microsoft is flip-flopping on its policies, one anonymous Xbox One developer has taken to Reddit for an AMA, revealing a surprising amount of candid detail.''
Codemasters has unveiled a series of massive changes to the Career Mode in F1 24. Players will finally be able to play as a current superstar.
Bandai Namco have announced a console and PC game of the Tensura series - that of That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime ISEKAI Chronicles.
Wrath: Aeon of Ruin has come about via some old classical inspiration. If you liked Quake, DOOM, Hexen or the like, then you're going to love this as it blasts onto Xbox, PlayStation and Nintendo Switch.
And he ends it trolling!
"We'll say this though, Troll Box is a much better name."
lol
Taking in a Reddit account as "proof" with no real proof at all, that says something about this "journalist". It's not a troll box, but it sure likes to flip flop around.
Still day one!
Even if this 'dev' is a bogus account this quote sums up the opposite of what MS have done.
"He said: "Engineering practices have taught us there are always trade offs. We lay out all the benefits of different policies and figure out what we have to give up in order to obtain those benefits."
MS never laid out the benefits to consumers. The message they gave was negative, it was apologetic, it made them look like money grubbing weasels.
If they had shown titles which took advantage of the DRM benefits then the public feeling might have been more positive...
As MS did not do this, there can only be a couple of assumptions to make.
1. No games currently exist that really showed off the 'benefits' of DRM
or
2. There are no benefits.
I can actually see some benefits to an always on console, and to be honest it was the only real differentiator between the XB1 and the PS4. Now the XB1 just looks like a slightly lower spec but $100 more expensive console compared to the PS4. Sure it has a good looking launch line up - but so did the 360. But it only took 2.5 years before the games dried up.
just when i think the negativity is done xbone manage to prove me wrong..
