Retailer EB Games hoses down reports suggesting that a spate of hardware defects with Xbox 360 video game consoles were straining its relationship with Microsoft.
A brutal reset, a smarter story, and a return to what made it great—Mortal Kombat (2011) revived the series.
Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.
15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
The name "Hewson" carries a special weight for anyone who grew up during the golden age of British computing. As the son of Andrew Hewson—the man behind legendary publisher Hewson Consultants—Rob Hewson didn't just grow up playing video games; he learned to spell his name from their title screens. However, Rob didn't just rest on his family's 8-bit laurels. From leading major LEGO franchises at TT Games to tackling the high-stakes world of technical porting at Huey Games, Rob has carved out a unique path in an ever-evolving industry. In this candid interview Rob to discussed the burden and beauty of a family legacy, the technical "scar tissue" left by the ambitious Hydrophobia, and why porting a masterpiece like Inscryption to consoles is far more than a simple copy-paste job.
To celebrate Tomb Raider: Legend's 20th anniversary, the official channels have shared an early in-development gameplay demo.
...knew this was bogus all along. Now we can move on. :)
Others take what they hear with a grain of salt I on the other hand inject! it in my arm! When Kotaku has any dealing with the console market(usually prasing Sony while holding MSFT's face in the dirt *with Foot*.
As I said before, you can't trust a worthless tabloid blog like Kotaku who does not care for something like the truth or quality journalism and as I stated before EB just return the faulty units to MS like said in the interview
"Wilson said EB Games had experienced high returns due to the red ring of death issue earlier in the Xbox 360's life, but the number of defective consoles had declined since Microsoft announced the extended warranty."
I think this issue gets overplayed here at N4G. There was a big problem earlier but it seems like its sorted now more or less. Can anybody confirm a RROD falcon? I guess not since it will be 1000 degree news instantly.
The 360 has been making them quite a bit of money. You don't really hear much about the RROD these days unless someone from a thread brings it up.
