Xbox One will lock almost every online feature behind a paywall ? the PS4 won?t: Extremetech Article

The eighth generation of game consoles is only a few months away (sorry, Wii U), and by now, we?ve learned almost everything there is to know about them. One muddled point, though, just what paywalls will be employed on either console. It would appear that not every online feature is stuck behind PlayStation Plus or Xbox Live Gold.

Now let's see the Xbox One80 on that one...

good, gives incentive to have gold and better services

you do realize you have to pay to play online on the ps4 right?

Oh yes, I do, but I don't think M$ should put all fancy features behind the pay-wall. That's just a ploy to extract more $ from customers.

Here's another ExtremeTech Article on bundling PS4 and PS Vita for $500. This might end up helping Sony a ton.

Sony is betting big on cloud gaming for this upcoming console generation. From Gaikai streaming to internet-enabled remote play of PS4 games, Sony is primed to set the PS4 apart from the competition by utilizing the PlayStation Vita. While the Tokyo company?s mobile gaming sales haven?t been setting the world on fire, a rumored PS4 and Vita bundle could completely change the game.

most people have gold anyways, this isn't surprising

if you're able to spend $500 on a console, should be able to afford gold

they're not asking you for any more subscriptions, why should people who don't pay for gold be allowed to use MS's servers

 

[Bucknut24]

only reason I laugh at this is because this isn't anything new, or shocking

Most of the stuff on 360 required gold, but not as many people complained


what's even more funny is there will be people out there that say "I'm buying Ps4 because of this!!" *goes and buy's PS+*

That is M$'s MO and has been for over 20 years. The M$ fanboys love it though, so there's little to debate as it won't change anyone's opinion....

Well, the thing is, if you buy COD or any of the games on both consoles, and if you only want to play the single-player mode (I fall into this category, as I have NEVER played a multiplayer game in my life so far, except perhaps Worms Armageddon), the experience is much better on the PS4 than it is on the XONE. This WILL turn some people off.

Just to qualify, I will state that I will buy the XONE down the line just for the exclusives. But I don't have any problems saying I like Sony's policies more because they are customer friendly.

i respect that, and to be clear, I wasn't meant to be bashing you for liking PS4 polices or anything..

I just find it more amusing from people on the internet crying about it like it was some revelation they were going to do this.

I guess I'm just tired of people bashing the xbox one, no matter what they do, people will bash it, and it's just getting tiresome to read..

think of it as us (osu fans) reading ESPN during the tatgate, biased opinions and constant bashing with some to little facts.

That's what I find when reading articles from places like IGN, etc.

So you ADMIT to being a fanboy!

My point of view is completely different. I bought XONE for $500. I have a youtube account. I have an internet connection. There is absolutely no freaking reason for me to have to shell out more money to transport videos from my console to my youtube account through my internet connection. As simple as that.

Microsoft announced today that with each purchase of an xboxone, one baby seal will be clubbed to death.


Bucknut24 response: Not a big deal, those seals would be dead within 5 years anyways. I find it funny that people think that consoles can be made without the slaughter of innocent animals.

I do agree with this, and I probably won't be buying either system.

Not referring to anyone in particular here. Just the internet in general.
