now if only i could get Vanquish 2 and Bulletstorm 2
What the fuck does "Input one" even mean?
I still think the name is crap. I was expecting Xbox 720.
Actually the general population is pretty impressed with what MS showed. There were a few moments that even I rolled my eyes at, but overall I was quite happy with a lot of the games that were shown. Check Twitter for instance.
Just got back from preordering my Xbox One and a copy of Battlefield 4. They didn't have the SKU for Killer Instinct so I coudn't get that yet. And if you guys think it won't be played at tournaments because of the online thing, you're nuts. EVERYONE has a mobile hotspot on their phones now that you can use to authenticate the Xbox One at the end of the night with.
Let's not pretend we're living in 2007 still. And depending on how the family thing works, maybe there's a way to even only buy one copy of the game if the consoles are all rocking one profile. Think about it this way: buy the game on one Tournament Organizer profile, put said profile on several consoles for the tournament, authenticate them, then in between matches every hour or so connect one at a time to authenticate. That seems to me that it would work since you'd then take them all offline. I could be wrong but that seems like a plausible, favorable scenario for TO's money-wise.
You missed the part about taking the Xbox consoles offline. If they're all offline they can play the same game because nothing is telling the servers that the games aren't legit. You then just need to sign in to do the check in every hour which can easily be done between matches.
Either way, doing it completely traditionally just means TOs have one console and game per station. Since they only need to check in every 24 hours if they aren't sharing games, somebody just connects at the end of the night. Not terribly difficult.
...and another added to my ignore list.

Go read ign, they mentioned that only two people can share at any given time - all they really have to do is lock the library after the first two family.members do the initial Check.
Lot of hassle for a game that died out competitively almost a decade and a half ago.
I hate reading IGN so I'll just take your word on it. The traditional route doesn't really inconvenience anyone all that much. If I was running a tournament on Xbox One, I'd use my phone's hotspot to authenticate each console late at night before the tournament opens and then just do it at the close of the tournament each day again. Not terribly difficult to do and TOs have a game for each console with all current games anyway.
Looking like open-world games may be the breakout genre next gen!
