One of the New Xbox Experience's more hyped features is the ability to download games to your HD to save on loading times and the sounds of a plane taking off when the ROM spins. However, it has ended up revealing a major weakness for Microsoft's next-gen crown contendor. Gameplayer reports...
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.
"But that's a rant for another time. Today we're more interested with the ridiculously small sizes of the 360 hard drives, and the ludicrous cost of them."
It's just another blog type rant..
I think it's a great feature and the new 360's have 60gb. Also, I'm not sure about you, but I'm not planning on install my entire game library..
Here's another extract from the article's rant:
"Now some people may argue, "why would you have seven games installed at one time anyway? Who plays seven games all at once?". Plenty of people, smartarse, plenty of people."
Erm.. Calling your reader a smartarse doesn't justify the rant..
this what you get from MS
While the author is a douche and is rather weak at getting his point across eloquently, he does have a point about the 360 HDD. However everyone already knew they were overpriced to begin with so, while he is right that the option to install games is likely to cause headaches for people with the 20 gig, this is just a bullshit rant telling people something they already know.
So let me get this straight - MS releases an "OPTION" now to rip the disc onto the HDD where it was not an "OPTION" before and you had to play the game off the disc...and this guy finds an issue with it? LOL now it 7 games where as before you couldn't even do 1 since the option wansn't there. I can't beleive this guy finds a problem with something that clearly is a bonus. Well i have a problem also - i have a 120 GIG and i can't rip my whole 360 collection because it will take up over 120 gigs. Thanks a lot MS - thanks for the new problems - first its RROD and now i can't rip my entire library onto my HDD.
I can't beleive people write these kinds of articles - must be slow in the gaming industry at the moment
Why am I not surprised that this comes from gameplayer.com.au?
