This is killing me right now. Microsoft has just announced it was making a massive 180 concerning it’s Xbox One DRM policies, obviously due to the loud minority of internet users complaining along with hard pressure from Sony. Along with that 180 comes a removal of a small percentage of Xbox One features, those features, though, were some of the most revolutionary. The Xbox One was set to become not only a next-gen console, but a future proof next-gen console that...
Xbox One Becomes Xbox 180 With Removal of DRM
It appears the loud minority we call the internet has not fallen on deaf ears, Microsoft today announced it will be taking a step back with it’s once every 24 hours internet check in, but at a cost. Coming with the removal of a 24 hour check to play games is the removal of two of the most compelling features the console had: the ability to share your games with up to ten “family members” in a shared library, and the ability to play your disc games on any...
Playstation 4 vs Xbox One on Self Publishing
Self publishing. We’ve seen what it has done for store fronts like the iOS app store and Steam. There’s been recent announcements that the PS4 is going to allow self publishing. Microsoft has opted to stay with their old strategy of an indie game needing to be published by Microsoft Studios or a third-party. That is the only way a game can make it onto XBLA. I can see the plus and minuses for both sides, really. We’ve all gone to the app store on an iOS...
Is Xbox.com Telling Us The Xbox One’s Release Date?
We’ve heard approximations concerning the Xbox One’s release date, and even official confirmation of it coming to us this November, but we may now an actual release date, accidentally coming straight from Microsoft themselves. If you head over to Xbox.com, you’ll be greeted with a slider of ads. One in particular, the Call of Duty: Ghosts ad, when opened up shows that Call of Duty: Ghosts on the Xbox One will be releasing on November 5th. I’m no games...
Mars War Logs Voice Acting Updated For Free
Mars War Logs Voice Acting has been described as disappointing for a lot of gamers. The game was originally recorded in French and the voice acting that was recorded for the US version just wasn’t up to par. Instead of sitting back and allowing this to be their finished product Spiders Studio stepped up to the plate and re-recorded everything to bring a most realistic experience to US gamers. The update is free for the PC version and is promised to be included once the...
Into the Fray: My E3 Reactions
Now that E3 is over and I have had some time to take it all in it has dawned on me that this was the pinnacle of gaming conferences. We saw so much. From the huge leap we are making to the next generation to the not so playful jabbing from one console maker to another, it truly has been an epic event. Each year players get extremely excited for this particular expo, but this year was something so entirely different. There we so many questions surrounding both Sony and...
Has 4chan Cracked SuperDAE’s Insurance Torrent? [Update: Nope]
It looks like the anonymous men and woman over at 4Chans /v/ video gaming board are claiming to have found the key to SuperDAE’s Insurance Torrent. According to their brilliant minds, the password for DAE’s encrypted 1.8 terabyte file is “y8e4a4r@w9o0o#dtrance”, and while no one currently has the file to try it out since it went down shortly after going live, we have no way of independently confirming it. If this is infact true, then the gaming...
Hands-On Preview: Mario Kart 8
At E3 this year, one of the most eagerly awaited games among Nintendo fans was Mario Kart 8, the next big Mario Kart game set for release in Spring 2014. The new game keeps what everyone loves about Mario Kart with the addition of HD graphics and anti-gravity. I got my chance to race on three courses from the upcoming game. The first thing I will say is that this clearly is a Mario Kart game. It plays exactly like past games. Everything from the boost...
Did GameStop Just Tell Us Destiny’s Release Date?
Just spotted on the GameStop pages for Destiny was an actual date for Destiny’s, not just the simple placeholder we’ve been seeing. It looks like Bungie’s gamechanging open-world FPS may be coming to us earlier then expected. June 30th, 2014. This makes sense, if you think about it. Getting the game into gamers hands before the annual Call of Duty will give Bungie a leg up with their new IP, while still ensuring it’s available when the holiday season...
