Xbox 720 to use always-on DRM? It would doom the console

Rumors have recently resurfaced that the next Xbox will employ DRM that requires you to be online before you can access your games, whether it be for the purpose offline play or not. If true, it seems Microsoft would be releasing its next flagship piece of hardware with an install base of angry users, perhaps dooming the console from its beginning.

Sees who submitted obvious flame bait article..

Why am I not surprised?

lastofgen4507d ago (Edited 4507d ago )

4 negative submissions regarding the next-gen xbox within 10 minutes??

oh wait...it's strongman..
only he can have so much free time to endlessly push your anti-xbox crusade.

soxfan20054507d ago

It's fear and anxiety. You can just tell from the tone of his comments how afraid he is (and many other are) that the new Xbox might be as good (or better) than the PS4. So, he has to start a pre-emptive trolling and hate campaign.

OC_MurphysLaw4507d ago

ROFL... @Strongman you should be ashamed. DOOOOOOMED... LOL... clown.

Jek_Porkins4507d ago

Why is he still on this site? I know people have had to report him like I have, but he always seems to come back and post more and more.

I'm of the opinion that he's one of the main things wrong with this site, not him alone, but the fact that he'll get more agrees than disagrees when obviously trolling is just wrong.

Anyway, these are the same rumors that plagued the PS4 and they turned out to be false, DRM doesn't work, and Microsoft has to know not everyone uses online, of the 76+ million Xbox 360's sold, only 46 million are online. Doubt they'd be willing to take a 30+ million consumer loss just to try and force people online at all times.

@Warthunder

Every console has had it's fair share of doom and gloom. It's just this site and the "Sony fanboys" who elevate it and believe that it's all there is. And why shouldn't they, they stick to their own articles and that's all they think they see.

WarThunder4507d ago

@maniacmayhem

Sorry mate but PS3 has world record in numbers of Doom/gloom articles. 360 had some but not like the PS3.

Back in 07-08-09 u would see PS3 doom articles every day.

Sorry but i think strongman is very reputable.

Dragos754507d ago

Probably because you are him....lol

Knight_Crawler4507d ago (Edited 4507d ago )

What is up with the mods...Strong man mocks them with his multiple accounts and constant trolling on 360 articles and they just let him roam free on N4G and also give him an extra bubble.

Also how can the mods allow him to post that RROD pic? if this was Something about Sony the mods would ban me or tell me to change my story pic.

This site is infested with pro PLAYSTATOION people and its sad to see the mods let this site get like this.

DonFreezer4506d ago

I'm sorry my friends but it's not just the fanboys it's the mods itself that are pro-sony.I have been banned several times because I have asked about them getting paid by Sony.

I highly doubt MS would do this. 1) not everyone has a internet cnnection to be online. 2) sony already has a patent for it. I dont see ms wanting to pay sony to use this. I can see sony doing this more then anyone. Since they been wanting to implement this for years now.

I wish they’d do a proper switch 2 update for Tony Hawk 1+2 me and my 7 year old daughter love playing it in split screen and it plays great but it looks absolutely terrible. I would say it looks like the resolution drops down to about 540p in order to keep the framerate up.

LucasRuinedChildhood8h ago

If they don't, Pro Skater 1+2 is pretty cheap these days on PS5 and Series X if you have on of them. Switch version was only 30fps as well.

Pro Skater 3+4 will definitely be a huge upgrade from that on Switch 2.

That controller looks like a cheap knockoff... it should have been a proper DS5 design.

darthv721d 11h ago

...the VR aspect in 7 IS the redeeming quality.

Abriael1d 10h ago (Edited 1d 10h ago )

what a dumb take.

Ace Combat 7 is one of the best games of the past generation. It doesn't need VR gimmicks to "redeem" it.

TheColbertinator1d 2h ago

I have enjoyed nearly every single Ace Combat to death (except that helicopter shooting one) and have never needed VR once to enjoy it greatly

PapaBop18h ago

^^^ I'm guessing you've never actually tried it in VR then? VR elevates games like this way beyond just a gimmick, just ask any GT fan who owns a PSVR 2. You may not need VR to have a good time but it's an absolute game changer and something that shouldn't be dismissed as a gimmick.

S2Killinit17h ago(Edited 17h ago)

@Abriael
Spoken like someone who never played it. But who are we kidding. We know why VR hate. No one is fooled here.

Abriael16h ago(Edited 16h ago)

@PapaBop: I tried it in VR before any of you ever did, since the game wasn't even out yet. It's a gimmick, disjointed from the AC7's main gameplay and far removed from its best parts.

It's nothing more than a limiting factor, as Ace Combat's most complex missions require hardware power to be focused on other things. That's why the VR missions are very basic.

If you think Ace Combat's strengths are even close to the platform it's on, VR or non-VR, you obviously aren't an Ace Combat fan.

In any case, I suggest you folks prepare yourself for disappointment. There's a reason why the VR gimmick was never expanded, and it's that, besides a few fanatics who care for evangelizing their VR fad more than they care for the franchise, no one gave a flying F.

The developers are going to use the resources to make the whole game better for everyone instead.

VR was the best thing that happened to Ace Combat. You kidding?

VR is perfect for this type of game wdym

Abriael15h ago

It's a perfect way to limit this type of game.

CrimsonWing691d 11h ago

Look, I’m a simple man. I see Ace Combat and say, “Yes!”

Abnor_Mal1d 11h ago (Edited 1d 10h ago )

Can we get a new Ace Combat, with full vr and not just three or four levels, for PS5 and PSVR2
Also if we could get a remake of my all time favorite, Ace Combat5: The Unsung War, again with full vr for every mission with DualSense and flight stick haptics.

yeastori15h ago

I just want them to remaster AC4 and AC5, a new AC with better more realistic looking world and planes would be great too
