This is where Xbox One's unlimited cloud storage goes into play... :)

slate912412d ago

is that how that works?

Petrovich2412d ago

Save data consumes a lot of space, cloud storage is a great way to get some more storage in your console and Xbox provides it for free. But if your library is not that big then this would not be a concern... :)

That is not how cloud storage works. Everything has to be downloaded locally to the HDD for the games to work. It applies to Xbox, Playstation, and PC

Petrovich2412d ago (Edited 2412d ago )

Game size affects console storage space, cloud save helps with console storage space management, Xbox offers free cloud storage. Just my opinion. nothing serious... :)

darthv722412d ago

@petro... I think you got things confused. the cloud storage is only for game "saves" not actual game data. So if you think that your local drive is running low, that you can just move your installed games to the cloud... you would be wrong.

About the only thing you can do (aside from attaching another hard drive) is to delete your installed games (while the saves are safe in the cloud) to make room. Then you can install those games again later on and your saves would still work because of the power of the cloud.

Honestly, "save data" doesnt consume much space at all. So are wrong on that as well.

Petrovich2412d ago

@darth I stand corrected, my bad and thanks for the info. The feature almost convinced me to get an Xbox One, lol... :D

Halo 5 is still my biggest game in terms of size at 97 gigs.
It's bigger than MMOs!

adonisisfree2411d ago

And halo 5 isn’t that big of a game..

ProjectVulcan2412d ago

Meh. GTA5 is 130GB on PC. Come at me bro.

SierraGuy2412d ago (Edited 2412d ago )

Forza looks like a 10GB game.

holysmokesbatman2412d ago

Your face looks like a 10GB face?

Neonridr2411d ago

I mean is that an insult nowadays?

Xbox’s Game Preservation Hypocrisy - Forza Horizon 4

In June we learnt that Forza Horizon 4 was the latest game to suffer from delisting due to licenses expiring (happening December 15th 2024). While the game is discounted to encourage people to pick it up, Microsoft could go so much further with this.

If the game is online or has on disc DRM, you don't own it. Simple as that.

"Why are you booing me? I'm right!" (c) Hannibal Burr.
I don't why are you getting these dislikes, cuz you're right. The only digital store where you own the games is GOG, cuz you literally get install files.
It's been shown multiple times, that activation servies (or DRM if you wanna call it that) on disks tend to go down. All these zoomers downvoting you don't remember GFWL and other crap.

GamerRN145d ago

It's likely due to music and car licenses

gold_drake145d ago (Edited 145d ago )

the biggest issues are definitely the car brand and music licensing in the game.

Phil Spencer, head of Xbox, wants better game preservation across the industry, per Axios.
Spencer wants to see legal emulation, allowing players to access any older games.

Nintendo's lawyers hissing like vampires in sunlight reading this

They need to sell this franchise to Sony so it can be handled properly.

GreekHobo146d ago

>Sony
>Handled properly

Sir, have you ever thought of doing stand up? You're hilarious.
Should I remind you that GT7 is a live service online only game?
Should I remind you of Sony hiding (until recently) some older PS1 games behind PS Plus highest tier paywall?

rob-GP145d ago

"Sony hiding (until recently) some older PS1 games behind PS Plus highest tier paywall?"

You do realise that it was Capcom that decided to only allow their games to be accessible via PS Plus, and not bought, right...

Sony had literally nothing to do with it, otherwise you'd see other games - such as SIE published titles - doing the same thing.

Reaper22_145d ago

Sony probably can't afford it...lol

However.
if you know that will be an issue down the road, make better deals.

this will definitely be another huge issue for FH5

HellspawnPR1981145d ago

Does the author knows the car manufacturers put limitations to their products license?
