#THE LONG DARK FREE DOWNLOAD NO SURVEY XBOX ONE TV#
The TV magic Xbox head Don Mattrick and his colleagues weaved on stage in Redmond last week is something I’d love to experience without any border-imposed brokenness. Indeed, I sincerely hope Microsoft will prove my fears wrong and wrangle up a strong Canadian partner or two. However, it’s worth noting that unlike some of the other worries in this list, my Xbox One TV concerns could potentially be allayed with a simple stroke of a pen from the CEO of the right Canadian company. We’ll still have to deal with abominable broadcaster-designed onscreen guides and keep using our crappy cable remotes. If Microsoft can’t convince major Canadian TV companies like Rogers to get on board with Xbox One then the console’s TV functionality won’t be anything more than a glorified way for us to keep from switching TV sources when we want to move from playing games to watching television. However, based on Microsoft’s failure to satisfyingly connect with Canadian broadcasters and rights-holding partners in the past, I suspect this bold step toward a more integrated living room may fall flat North of the border – and potentially in other markets, too. This clever feature will surely prove tantalizing to developers striving to make graphically and technologically complex games. Without getting too geeky, one of Xbox One’s technological advantages is that it can offload certain tasks to the cloud, allowing local hardware to concentrate on more immediate processes. Microsoft has gone out of its way to ensure fans of solo games that the system is capable of functioning in the absence of an Internet connection, and that you’ll be able to play single-player games without being connected to the Web.īut just because a device is capable of a thing doesn’t guarantee that it will actually and always do that thing. You can play single-player games offline, except when you can’t If not, then lending is just plain impossible.Ī little backwards compatibility can help gently nudge hesitant consumers toward new hardware, especially if they can sell their old system while maintaining the ability to play all their games. Xbox One almost seems designed to keep these people at bay.ģ. No details yet on what this fee might be or whether it will be charged to used game retailers or the people buying used games.Īlso no word on whether the original installed copy (all Xbox One games must be installed and played off hard disk) will still function after the disc has been associated with a new account.
However, reports suggest that previously played discs will only function on another player’s user account if a fee of some sort is paid. The company told Post Arcade last week that the “Xbox team is looking at ways to make this possible.”
Microsoft has yet to reveal details regarding its plan for previously played games, though it has indicated that some form of secondary market will exist. Xbox One looks set to remove at least some of our freedom to sell, or even lend, games. Used games aren’t going to be what they used to be Here are five nagging concerns I have about Microsoft’s new machine.ġ. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.
