Who gives a sh*t about Twitter, Facebook, etc etc?

I just want to play my games online. Thanks.

Hopefully theres a Internet Browser in one of those "few other surprises" :D

Hopefully we can hide our photos on Facebook from certain people or other xbox live members.. or remove the entire facebook app off of our 360s completely :D

Aside from listening to streaming music I am surprised MS hasnt created a real music store like they do for video. Make songs available like Itunes and you can then listen to them in games. I am unsure if last fm will stream while you are playing a game. Perhaps it will but maybe not while online playing??? I like to be able to play my own tracks in a game of batman or halo. Batman is not online but halo is and I can enjoy my own music while getting my @$$ handed to me.

Streaming while playing online...does it work?

FragMnTagM6049d ago

I know that streaming from my computer wireless to my 360 and using a wireless adapter for my 360 works. I can listen to music off of my computer while gaming online all done wirelessly. So it may work with Last.fm.

HELL YES. I've really been looking forward to just plopping on some music whenever I have to do something around the house after watching a movie or playing a game. It'll be so convenient to just move to it and have some music goin.

NecrumSlavery6049d ago

So with Last.fm can I listen to radio music while playing online? Cause the rest isn't really intersting.

BTW, to all whole complained about Unchartd 2 having twitter. This is going to crash Facebook and Twitter everytime propel get on, watch netflix, or achievements.

dragonelite6049d ago

Not yet but microsoft is busy with that so you can listen to it when gaming. And they are working on facebook and twitter stuff ingame support like upload a game picture to facebook or update twitter with your latest achievement you got. And rumors are microsoft is working on a universal capture mode so you can capture your gametime.

NecrumSlavery6049d ago

To capture game footage would be cool.

ForROME6049d ago

WTF is up with this, I like media stuff as an add on but all updates should be focused on the game exp first, add on apps 2nd

carajito6049d ago

With all of these additions they dont slow down the interface even more.
My Xbox is up to 2-3 second between button press.
Adding more stuff probably would increase that. For crap that most of us will never use.

FragMnTagM6049d ago

my cruising between various things on the dashboard and friends list has been greatly improved. Not sure what is different, but everything runs smoother as of late.

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde20d ago

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.

Soy21d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

DivineHand12520d ago (Edited 20d ago )

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

Pixels in the Blood: The Journey of Rob Hewson

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.
