Joystiq---We're receiving reports that Microsoft is updating opted-in Xboxes with the new Dashboard preview ... and it doesn't do much at the moment. The most noticeable addition is a new "Xbox Beta" channel, containing three new titles: "Xbox Beta Program - Preview LIVE Update," which isn't clickable, "New Features" and "Help and Tips."
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.
Yes, I'm a part of the BETA as well.
There's going to be 2 groups, the LIVE d/l update group and the DISC only update group. If your chosen but didn't have the LIVE update earlier yesterday then your going to be a part of the DISC only updates.
Regardless, were basically testing the new larger disc format, ensuring there's no bugs in the games w/added staorage. The game we all recieve will be a new copy of Halo Reach with the larger disc storage on it.
see you all online:) TheXgamerLive
Oh boy, yet another crowd-pleaser with no substantial improvements or additions. I love how Microsoft initiates these "beta" programs to force hype and mask the fact that all they do is make slight changes to the appearance and call it a big update.
If all the update entails is support for the new disc format, then there is scarcely a need for any kind of a beta beyond pure laziness.
Yea i got into beta too. :3
Can't wait to see what this beta is really all about.
it seems that pirates are no longer able to play backups games after updating the hacked console to the new beta dashboard!?M$ strikes back again?!
I hope the one gig goes to the sound (although it's not enough for 7.1 uncompressed, any improvement would be appreciated), multiplats on PS3 all have much better sound but most people probably wouldn't notice unless they have a quality sound system.
I've got a $1700 sound system so I notice pretty big audio differences.
