Whereas rumors once swirled that Microsoft’s Xbox One would require a true always-on connection — one that required the Xbox One to be online literally all the time — the policy turned out to be a simple check-in once every 24 hours. As long as a game is being played on your own Xbox One, rather than a friend’s — which requires an admittedly draconian hourly check-in — you can technically have an internet outage for the majority of the day and still be able to play your games. However, a common argument against an always-online Xbox is that some people just can’t afford an Xbox plus internet service, but no one ever seems to go out and survey to see the extent to which this is true.
Games Asylum: "Well, this is uncanny. This school management sim bears a startling resemblance to Two Point Campus, especially when it comes to planning and decorating rooms. Be sure to add a window and a radiator, along with a plant or rubbish bin. Indeed, certain aspects are almost identical – it’s just like revisiting Two Point Campus, only something is…off. It’s the visual style that leads to the uncanny valley feeling, using a low-poly PlayStation/Saturn aesthetic. An odd choice, considering the 32-bit consoles didn’t have a great amount of management sims. The PS1 did have Theme Hospital though – with Two Point Hospital being Campus’ predecessor, so we guess we can give it a pass on its artistic intent."
I almost bought this yesterday lol. Then I remembered I have 1000 games I need to play and I would probably touch this once.
According to a well-known Spanish leaker, the Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy will be available on Game Pass next month.
Abathor delivers a rollicking hack-and-slash adventure for fans of the genre, and it's co-op thrills can't be denied.
I'm not bothered about the check in, I'm bothered about the fact I don't own my games anymore.
Imagine xbox live got hacked like psn, you wouldn't even be able to play offline even though you have already purchased the games and they should be yours.
We never did truly own our games. licences? Yeah.
Here in Asia All my friends plus Thousands of gamers will get Sony PS4 , Microsoft made it clear to all of us here in Asia , Xbox One require 24/7 connection to the Internet ! 90% of all Asian countries have a SLOW Internet connection , from 8 years ago We understood what is the meaning of the word " LAGGING " when we play ( xbox360 ) Online with people from USA and Other countries , that's why the sales of PS3 is high in Asia , Microsoft doesn't care about us and they didn't even try to install ONE god dame server to fix this issue ....as it expected most of us in Asia will get PS4 .
P.S
Some people are Saying that the PS4 and the Xbox One are similar, is like saying that birds and planes are very similar , both can fly....
1) Xbox One: 8GB of DDR3 RAM (68GB/s bandwidth) at 2100 MHz
1) Ps4 : 8GB of GDDR5 RAM (176GB/s bandwidth) at 5500 Mhz
2) XboxOne : Graphics Core -12 compute units providing 1.2 teraflops
2) Ps4 : Graphics Core -18 compute units providing 1.8 teraflops
So as you can see,Playstation 4 has at least 50% more power.
I will walk naked in streets of Japan if Microsoft won Next generation Gaming with there Stupid. Xbox1 law .
I'm totally out when it comes to Xbox one. The problems may not be huge to some people but i just mostly play my 360 in a place where i don't have a connection. It never bothered me cause i don't play multiplayer at all so i avoid X box Live. I refuse to lug my 360 back every 24 hours to where i have a connection so i can play single player games. Not to mention Microsoft push to have publishers use the cloud as a replacement for weaker hardware could mean that little by little The X Box One will turn into a always online device which wold even be worse.
