WOW maybe there getting it ready for a NATAL dashboard!

mrv3215918d ago

Why is that a positive? I mean I've been using a controller all my life and I can get to almost any point on my system within seconds. While I admit controlling it with your hands is cool I just hope there's sensetivity settings or it'll get annoying, there probably will be.

Also, I'm not a fan of the dashboard I'd very much like if they streamline it. It takes for too long for me to get to content. I must admit I'm fairly biased, coming from PSP's XMB which has so far been my favorite OS of consoles. Dashboard does it's job, but in my opinion I'd like if they remove about half the uneeded stuff.

AngryTypingGuy5917d ago

Well it's not like you're going to be FORCED to use NATAL.

Agent Smith5918d ago

Will it finally allow me to put my videos from my flashdrive to the harddrive?

King_of _the_Casuals5918d ago (Edited 5918d ago )

interesting. Wonder what it could be.

van-essa5918d ago (Edited 5918d ago )

It wont allow you to do anything since you don't have a X360.

TheXgamerLive5918d ago

chillax, I doubt any changes to the dashboard will occur for a long time, maybe an addition this fall for natal but no real changes, improvements yes.

WildArmed5918d ago

wow..
i was expecting some real info.
other than the bloody number of the next update.

"It wont allow you to do anything since you don't have a X360."

Agent Smith5918d ago (Edited 5918d ago )

If I don't have a 360, then what's this? van-essa, cut it out with your fanboy crap. I make fun of the 360 because that's an obvious flaw. If MS said digital is the future, why can't I put my digital videos on my harddrive? I mean, I have the whole first season of Fresh Prince on my PS3.

fox025918d ago

Lol it's obvious you ran to your neighbours house and took a pic of his X360. The poor kid is probably confused right now.

Agent Smith5918d ago

Aww, you sad your mom can't buy you a PS3?

corneliuscrust5918d ago (Edited 5918d ago )

or better yet, leave them on your pc and stream them across your network.

Xbox is a beast at streaming. I stream all my music from my PC in game while playing online with no additional lag

With Xbox's pitifully small (and expensive) HDD offerings thanks to MS, you should stream everything you can so as not to waste precious space on your xbox HDD

Corepred45918d ago

no, its not. xbox is not a beast at streaming. Was trying to watch a movie at my friend's the other day and there was so much lag/buffering or whatever that it was unwatchable. Having it straight on the HDD is the best way to go if you really want to watch a movie. 2nd to using an actualy disc.

WildArmed5918d ago

lol Agent Smith pawned....

But it's funny that I see Vanessa on damage control for 360 on every article i visit.

trancefreak5917d ago

I dont use my 360 as much as my ps3 but for some reason the 360 doesnt detect my portable passport hdd.

It works ok on my my book for watching videos though.

My ps3 just does more when it comes to allowing video playback.

pixelsword5917d ago (Edited 5917d ago )

If you're going to do something like that, at least have an ulterior motive like I do; me an my friend have challenges to get people to do things online for game money; it's not a bet, but it's like a job the way we do it: like tick-off 50 people in one day online or something like that.

I don't give a crap about the coneole war in those terms because I actually don't get paid by either company; and neither do you...

... or do you?

;)

WhittO5917d ago (Edited 5917d ago )

lol, i think agent smith has just proved that its not so IMPOSSIBLE for someone to have problems with a console they own ?

Some people jump to conclusions and actually make themselves look like the fanboy.

I don't have a 360, doesn't mean I don't think it does alot I wish my ps3 did, don't have to own one to say good/bad things about them.

duplissi5917d ago

that just made my day agent smith..... lol

WildArmed5917d ago

but on N4G, if you dont own the console, your considering a fanboy...

Your right to criticize the console beings once you own it xD /s

gta_cb5917d ago

there are normally always work arounds. but you dont seem to get the point agent smith is making, and also some people arnt able to do everything you can. For example:

I am a university student, and whilst living in uni accommadation I am not able to connect to a wireless network, and I only have 1 ethernet port in my bedroom. There for there is no streaming from my laptop or desktop. and about having the stuff on usb, yes its a work around. But if your like me using them for uni now and again you will find and also having to transfer movies etc I often find myself being slightly annoyed that I am having to copy them onto the memory stick, WHICH IS WHY I normally just grab all my movies / series or whatever and stick them onto my PS3 hdd.

As another person above me has pointed out its easy to seem like a fanboy on here, but you will notice if you visit the hottest threads often who the fanboys actually are. I have once been called a fanboy for stating the obvious which is amusing as i own both consoles and have for years. My PS3 died within a year of buying (yellow flashing light) and the other day my Xbox 360 just got the RRoD but strange thing is when i tried it 10mins later it was working fine again, havnt had much time to play on it though due to work!

evrfighter5917d ago (Edited 5917d ago )

LoL i get called out by random people saying I don't own a ps3 every other day. It's probably due to the fact that the exclusives suck and I have a great sense of buyer's remorse....

worst $300 I ever spent. If you're a pc gamer looking into a console. You'll find that everybody you know plays together on the 360. The ps3 would be worth its value if they ever announce a twisted metal game. Until then it's a pile of junk. Though it's finally being useful with FF13.

DarkTower8055917d ago

You get called out for being a moron and making moronic posts. So far, I haven't seen you prove 1 person wrong.

HxCGamer5917d ago

"LoL i get called out by random people saying I don't own a ps3 every other day. It's probably due to the fact that the exclusives suck and I have a great sense of buyer's remorse...."

exclusives suck? dude the ps3 comes out with such a different variety of games you cant possibly say that... and for the past couple of years ps3 games has been getting GOTY

you are clearly either only into WoW or FPS, which is a bit sad

avatar game room...but thats the only thing i can think of

TheBrit5918d ago

that with natal coming, it adds a minority report style navigation with the interface! That would be geeky and fun, especially if it used the voice of natal also to control the menu

porkfriedrice5918d ago

will it be easier or will it be like a facebook change that no one really likesssss

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde32d 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.

Soy32d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

DivineHand12532d ago (Edited 32d 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.
