Andrew, a gamer from Florida, compares the free speech protections aforded books and movies to present-day efforts to legislate video games:

E. Zachary Knight: On the TV front, does the XBox One require a cable/sattelite subscription or will I be able to use my over the air channels?05/21/2013 - 1:48pm
|
E. Zachary Knight: Also, that name was not one of the options on our poll.05/21/2013 - 1:42pm
|
E. Zachary Knight: This presentation also shows why EA has been so negative about the Wii U. They have had a massive hardon for the XBox One forever.05/21/2013 - 1:42pm

E. Zachary Knight: Quote: Are developers forced to create games that have these online features, and are thus not playable offline? They are not, Xbox exec Whitten said to Wired — but “I hope they do.”05/21/2013 - 1:40pm
|
E. Zachary Knight: The Wired article I linked to earlier has a different story. While it will be possible to play offline, that is a game to game thing, not standard. http://www.wired.com/gamelife/2013/05/xbox-one-analysis/05/21/2013 - 1:39pm

Andrew Eisen: According to Geoff Keighley, Don Mattrick says Xbox One is not always on. https://twitter.com/geoffkeighley/status/33690727595023155305/21/2013 - 1:35pm

Andrew Eisen: Just like how Sim City needs the cloud for various computations. (Note to anyone unaware: Sim City does not need the cloud for various computations. That was a barefaced lie by EA Maxis.)05/21/2013 - 1:24pm

MaskedPixelante: So all in all, more of the same, with the possibility of used game restrictions and always on DRM disguised as "cloud computing".05/21/2013 - 1:20pm
|
Andrew Eisen: Absolutly zero gameplay footage. Doesn't look like there are going to be a lot of games ready to launch by the end of the year.05/21/2013 - 1:12pm
|
E. Zachary Knight: They didn't talk about any of the other exclusives. I guess they are saving that for E3.05/21/2013 - 1:06pm
|
E. Zachary Knight: quicknoid, They have 15 exclusives coming in the first year with 8 of them being original franchises. I think Ghosts is at least a timed exclusive.05/21/2013 - 1:06pm
|
MaskedPixelante: Maybe they could stick some facial recognition software on the new Kinect to keep 12 year olds off of Xbox Live. That'd be nice.05/21/2013 - 1:06pm

ddrfr33k: I'm still not holding my breath05/21/2013 - 1:04pm

ddrfr33k: Hmm...If Ghosts has as much emphasis on the story as they say they do, they might be able to turn the series around...05/21/2013 - 1:04pm

quiknkold: The Halo TV Show is the only thing that impressed me.05/21/2013 - 1:03pm
|
quiknkold: so to summarize. Xbox One is a Glorified Television box with gaming capabilities. Voice activated tv because people are getting lazyer than using a remote control. more kinect, no exclusive games, and they only show sports games and call of duty05/21/2013 - 1:03pm

Sleaker: looks like no more MS hardware for me.05/21/2013 - 1:02pm

ddrfr33k: Whee, new CoD! More detail! Same 12 year old shits online!05/21/2013 - 12:57pm

E. Zachary Knight: XBox One will launch later this year to solve all your TV viewing needs.05/21/2013 - 12:53pm

I like it.
The book is a great example.
Not so sure about the matrix.. uh..
Holding up something like 'The Manchurian Candidate' might have a better impact, or relate to them more.
Dr. Strangelove or The Godfather also might have made better examples, you know controversial movies that are now considered art.
Good one anyway!
Used psyhical books and movies as a reference instead of talking about it. Score!
Didn't GP report some NewYork times guy playing man Hunt 2 and saying he supported it's AO rating despite it being less violent than Saw 3 or Hostel 2 which he supported those ratings?
If it wasn't for the fact my video would seem pointless (due to being outside the US) I would post a video to try help so I can [play the games I want to.
