Well...

As it has been since the Xbox's premiere, this is what MS does.
It is pretty damning for people who don't know that and sometimes, the truth can be harder to believe. 
On that note, I don't know myself if MS does that all the time or not, so it does sound damning.

Well, it's pretty common for the live PC versions of games they show off to run on ridiculously high settings, with a computer that requires a fan or two blowing cold air onto it so it doesn't overheat. That's probably one of the reasons for all of the glitching going on this E3 - Whatever they're using is overheating because it's OC'd so high. The textures and models they use in that version of the game are naturally toned down before the release and won't ever be available commercially. It's rarely done to the level that Aliens: Colonial Marines did it (If that was, in fact, live game play), but it's definitely done all the time.

I'm not sure how common the practice is on the console side, but I'm sure if someone got their hands on one of those computers they'd have access to some very inclusive emulators.

The worst thing is that it throws doubt on the capabilities of the upcoming console. Heck, even if you manage to hide it, there might be some false expectations for the real thing.

Now I really want someone to release that on the internet. Just to see what happens next. (I know, it's illegal. I'm just daydreaming here  ::))

It'd have to be grabbed once the most recent version of the Xbone came out, since the OS will be getting a few changes until then. And even then, an update to the OS to allow further functionality for new games, something they would certainly do if an emulator ever did get leaked, would mean that you wouldn't be able to play newer games. That is, of course, assuming that the disks and/or software don't require specific hardware to read them in the first place.

But yeah, it'd be interesting to see what would happen if it did happen.

Im pretty sure they just recompiled the games to run natively on PC.

Well, you do have a busy life, what with keeping tabs on wild, rough-and-tumble forum members while sorting out the drama between your twenty two inner lesbians.
Your drunk posts continue to baffle me.

Jesus Christ is Microsoft actually responding to criticism by being flippant? And telling people who don't have access to internet (such as deployed troops) to go fuck themselves and be glad they get to use the old system? Their PR team must be sobbing in a corner, knocking back bottles of whiskey to cope.

I know I said I was going to jump ship a while ago, but this needs to be posted.

Which turns it right back around to the, "Why is this an Xbone exclusive?"

They can get more money for it making it Xbox Exclusive, since you have to buy the console too. Among other things.
