I didn't mean that no one will use it, and yeah FFIX will definitely have to use it, but the problem I see here is no HDD is the lowest common denominator. Developers always work toward the lowest common denominator. Plus console development isn't the same a PC development. For a PC you have to be able to take into account for varying hardware, but with a console you know that you will have the same spec everytime all the time. With this move from Microsoft the console developers now have to take into account the possibility of a slightly different setup. It honestly makes no sense to me why they did this. They went from forcing everyone to use the HDD on XB1 games to use it or don't use it we don't give a fuck. Now on the plus side there's 512 MB of RAM on this thing, so the trick of caching most of the game on HDD isn't really needed anyway now, but still, its just so damn odd.
Honestly I'll bet that there'll probably be something in XNA that doesn't make it an issue, assuming that something doesn't exist already.
Oh yeah, ABF, how's Guild Wars? I've been thinking about picking it up, I played in one of the early beta events but wasn't all that impressed with it then.
