Unannounced Xbox Dashboard Update

Geekpulp writes: Normally they seem to inform us before something like this happens, but this time Major Nelson himself was chiming in several minutes after the confusion had set in. It was over so quickly that I wasn't sure whether or not I'd dreamt it or mistook it for another title update for a game I hadn't played in a while. but confirmations from a couple of Exclusive Geekpulp Brethren made it clear - there's a dashboard update available for the 360.

It's funny how much online gaming/networks are growing. Watching XBL and the PSN grow is like watching shuttle launching for the moon. Ever expanding and improving, is a good thing, especially since Video console companies that online gaming was not important and had no significant future.

Sounds like they seem to want to make sure and say "back off sony, we still have the best store and interface".

They're trying to suprize us with something ontop of whatever tweeks they need to do for Multiplayer(GTA4 etc) and dashboard updates(spring updates youtube prep stuff etc?).

To make a long story short whatever they're going to add this year has to be done in steps its so huge.

i found it strange that i didn't know about this update before i got home from work and started up my xbox. sure enough, a refresh of the n4g page and someone had mentioned it.

This was a big update though, normally it takes 10-15 secs to d/l but this one took almost a minute. FOr 360 users even that is long. Thank GOd i dont have to endure ps3's updates or game installs.

I wonder what the spring update has? usualy the spring and fall updates, come with alot of content.

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

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.

And then MK1 killed it again.

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

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.
