I'd be quite willing to buy a new Deus Ex game. I'm not much for the "special" opportunity to buy into the latest "value added" re-release though...

Not defending, but it actually does make sense....would you buy a boat if you never went to a lake or lived on a lake? Peple forget these aren't things we NEED, they are entertainment.

Batman looks exactly the same as the second one. Come on, how many times do we have to see the same thing. Event he GUI is identical and the gadgets look identical, the move set even. It's like they didn't even rework the textures. Both Batmans were great but this is just like a developer coasting on the success of the previous games and changing the level layout and adding a few more enemies and different cutscenes. It's look like an EA sports game. Looks like they took literally all the assets, textures, and animations from Rocksteady.

Speaking with Destructoid, Microsoft's Phil Spencer was asked what someone with no internet access would do if they wanted to buy an Xbox One.

"I mean the analogy, and I don't know if it's a great analogy… let's say I live in an area that doesn't have cell service. I wouldn't go buy a cell phone. Now, I might roam in different areas where my cellphone becomes active."

"The 360 ecosystem is a great ecosystem for somebody that's in a purely disconnected state for long periods of time. We have built a natively connected device with Xbox One and we think the experiences are moving in that direction."

No, because you are ignoring contextually important information and speaking in broadstroke vagueness. I'm all for being skeptical and cautious but we have a wealth of information in our hands right now and its quite specific about implementation yet you keep acting like we haven't just seen a massive conference answering pretty much every question people had. Claiming Sony was being evasive when they're being the literal opposite of evasive is pretty silly. They were being evasive before the conference, not after. I strongly suspect you didn't even watch it before commenting.

If and when Sony changes course on some of these decisions then people will deal with it but until then they've been very clear and given us more than enough information to inform a purchase decision. They also didn't do it with a bunch of conflicting information like Microsoft did. It's not difficult to see why people are thinking the PS4 will be a better buy here.

You say this about every fucking thing and about three quarters of the time you're wrong. You're the most negative guy on the Internet.

Jesus, Cutter. I think you need meds. You are the single most negative person I have ever read online, and that's saying something.

I still say people are going to get burned on this somehow.

Yeah, you would say that.

I kicked in for a bunch of starters, but something about this one felt sketchy to me too. I'm scared saying this, but I agree with Cutter.

No, Sony is still being evasive.

ok you have got to be trolling at this point, cuz sony were pretty unequivocal about the major points. sure the publishers might DRM their games themselves, but they already do that on current gen. it's not at a system level; there's really no dancing around that.

Sony is still being evasive. Everything they stated was about them. They didn't say if publishers would permit trades/resales. So their policy is the same as the Failbox until they specify otherwise. And ok so I don't have to go online once every 24 hours to check in with big brother, what about every 25 hours? What if I never want to connect it to the internet at all? Seems that Sony snuck in that you now need a PS+ subscription for online play. So what else aren't they saying?

Read the 3rd article from the links above.
It specifically states that you do not need internet connection at all for single player games.
