Thoughts on the Xbox One, Part II

Continuing from my last post about the Xbox One reveal, I wanted to talk a little more about what happened yesterday at the Microsoft E3 press conference.

More specifically, what didn’t happen. Originally I gave Microsoft the benefit of the doubt when they raised a number of suspicious red flags. Always On DRM? How will used games be handled? Why does the Kinect sensor need to always be on and watching me? Given that the Xbox announcement was only two weeks away from E3, naturally I assumed th

Kiefer Sutherland is Solid Snake's New Voice

David Hayter (Original voice actor for Solid Snake):

“Great actor, good man. The game will probably still be excellent. Like New Coke!”

A lot of people are under the impression this is all an act, and Hayter’s voice may very well appear in the game. I really have my doubts, but Kojima has shown the lengths he’s willing to go to mess with gamers [http://www.psu.com/a018925/] …so anything may happen.

Russian Hacker Ports Xbox 360 Game to PC

The developer’s response:

I’m kind of livid myself, I just see him as the overly-entitled gamer saying ‘I deserve this because I want it!’ I was saying earlier on Twitter ‘Halo: Spartan Assault only on Windows 8 devices! That Russian guy should port it FOR GREAT JUSTICE!’ Like James though, he’s going to do what he’s going to do and it’s kind of impressive but trying to justify it morally really irks me.

For great justice, indeed.

Zynga CEO Talks About Today's Layoffs

While it’s sad 520 people out of work, the most staggering thing to take away from this is that number only represents 18% of their employees. There’s still over 2000 people still working on games like Farmville.

In an informal survey by Kotaku, out of 400 replies, roughly half say they won't tolerate an online fee for Xbox One. Anytime anyone ever says they wont tolerate a bad service or will boycott it, I’m reminded of this gem [http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/6062/1258035395841.jpg].

EA's Eliminating Online Pass

As we discontinue Online Pass for our new EA titles, we are also in the process of eliminating it from all our existing EA titles as well. We heard the feedback from players and decided to do away with Online Pass altogether.

For those unfamiliar, most EA games shipped with a separate serial that was required to play games online. If a game was bought used, one would have to also buy an Online Pass from EA to access online play.
