Dev Kits may or may not lead to hacking, is not that simple. Besides that, MS will put this devkit in some kind of sandbox for sure.

 

[calmwaters]

If they let you write your own programs, then I'd write one that disables the Kinect's camera and the 24 hour internet checkups.

And possibly the game sharing method.

He's referring to PC-PC.

You could've dropped the hyphen and the last C and just said PCP.

If they are actual full featured dev kits, then I might actually consider buying it, but if M$ pulls some stupid shit that you have to but some DLC and it's sandboxed then screw it

 

[Lestworth]

M$ would be 100% stupid to not put limitations on such a thing. If they do not, it would just be asking for trouble from hackers. Its cool if they go through with it, but we all know that something like this isn't free.

It sounds like a trap or worst yet more marketing BS. Or you will have to use .NET or some new dev tool chain that they just pulled out of their ass. It better be good. Let's hope it's good enough to actually care about.

I think the Ouya virus is spreading besides it'll be fun making our own indie games

 

[Jayro]

Even if the dev kit functionality is tied to a subscription, like the $99/year for XNA Creator's Club membership there was for the 360, that's still peanuts compared to spending like, $30k for a PS2 dev kit.

Microsoft just killed off XNA support recently, going 100% DirectX and .Net

 

[retKHAAAN]

So much hate... I bet you people would find a reason to hate on MS if they were giving away free games every month or removing dev fees for updates...

 

[LegendAssassinF]

Except it can run Xbox One games too. Like GTA V, immediately at launch

GTAV isn't coming to Xbox One....

 

[relminator]

As a dev, I like this! This happened because the intarwebs got pissed when the xbone's stupid and mafia-like system was announced.

 

[nukeboy95]

I'd rather use a Net Yaroze

Sony was worse than the mafia, and now the Xbox One was mafia-like. Why is this a running theme here?

You know that would be pretty cool. Except the 24 hour internet checkups are gone and you can disable the Kinect camera in the settings.

 

[_Chaz_]

Sure, that's cool and all. But who can say that they won't at least attempt sue whoever takes advantage of this implemented feature in a way they don't approve of?

 

[calmwaters]

Oh good. Then that's less programming work. And I'm proud of them for doing this.

I'm not planning to buy any of the "Next-Gen" Consoles (PC > Console), but I want to congratulate Microsoft for at least trying to redeem it's status from being a shitstorm.

GTAV isn't coming to Xbox One....

It isn't? WTF man, that's weird.... Well I guess no reason to buy a PS4/X1 in the next 2 years then!

At least not right away they haven't said a word about it yet. It is likely to come to PC just because all the other games did as well.
