I would like someone such as Sledge to post feedback on this, personally. I would like to think that everything will be rainbows and sunshine because I have very high hopes for Defiance and it's longevity, I don't want to think of the worst that could happen scenario. I don't see the transfer of characters being an issue though. They are saved server side, not client.

You know i'm glad someone posted about this as it made me aware of the fact. I didn't think about that before getting this game.... Now i'm wondering what they're gonna do about the people that have already paid for the disc and content whether they will make it free for already buyers and have the stuff transferred or what.

bc is not a big deal to me, ill just put the new xbox next to my 360 and change the lead on the tv if I wanna play it, but if the new xbox is 'always online' ill be saying goodbye to Microsoft hello to sony or ill get a decent PC

i dont get this stupid statement, i keep reading it and i think you are all being sheep about it. i know you will buy the next xbox. how many time do you switch on your xbox and log OUT of xbox gold account.. i will tell you. never.. logging into you XBL gold account means you are connected to the internet. id say most of the xbox's that are not modded are on the internet 100% of the time anyway.. i just dont understand these idiots minds,

Believe it or not ISPs are not 100% reliable. So if I lose my network connectivity for any number of reasons I cannot play a single player game I played 40 quid for? In fact I cannot do anything at all on my new Xbox? I find that ridiculous.

it will only send a few packets to the xbox and receive a few its self.. dialup would prolly do it for single player

I'm sorry but these articles are atrocious. Spelling mistakes. Presenting rumours lifted from Kotaku, (which is a notorious click bait site) as facts. This wouldn't be so bad but the "admin" wrote this article can't even get the rumours they've copied right. The $300 model is not for playing arcade games. It's supposedly the subsidised version that will come with a subscription model, and whoever came up with this $300 price tag must be flat out ******ed. The Yango was entirely seperate from the Xbox. It was intended to compete with Roku. Microsoft have not decided to give up on developing the nextbox as a home entertainment hub. They could not be any clearer that that is the direction they are taking. Dominating living space is their top priority. It has been since they launched the console.

I hate to be so negative but your site is terrible. The reviews make IGN look a hotbed of journalistic integrity and searing insight. I think I saw two games that scored lower than an 8. I tried to read the Dead Island review but I couldn't stop laughing at the score. There is literally no reason to visit your site. It has nothing new. Nothing of interest. It's articles are rehashed. It's news is just copy pasta. It's reviews are just terrible. No insight. No understanding of game mechanics. No critical analysis. Ridiculous scores. If this is a high school project then I'd applaud you for your ambition and advise you to pull it. If it's a real site and your not under 18. I'd advise you to contact E.A

Well, theres supposedly a big MS announcement on April 28th..most of the gaming press seems to think its the new Xbox reveal. Sure hope so, basic OFFICIAL details at least.
Really not sure wether you'll be able to play this on the next gen or not...be foolish to abolish backwards compatability,but its a worrying possibility.

Time will tell.

On Major Nelsons blog he had a count down to E3. Supposedly, this is where they are announcing it. You know at one of the biggest gaming conventions. So June.

Rumor is that there's no back compat so you'll either keep your 360 and keep playing, re-buy the game as a re-issue for 720 or just move on to next-gen games and not look back.

I call BS. The easiest way to keep backwards compatibility is to use the same architecture. Microsoft isn't changing the architecture which is why Nvidia is all butt hurt about the consoles not using their chipsets. Also with the Xbox it is more about the video chipset than the processor, which, may be the same for all consoles and I haven't worked on the team for 6 years.
