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 still no dedicated HDD! If MS was going to revamp the core I wish they would of taken a bit of a "hit" and put an HDD on it. It's lame to fragment your user base and discourage developers from making the HDD standard. I know MS has given in a bit and are making some games require a hard drive.. But things would be so much easier if they would of just made every system have one like they did with the Xbox1.
I also think these DVD9 size issues would be less of a problem, it would be more like PC gaming where things can be loaded and streamed from the HDD.
The tradeoff to appeal to the cheaper/casual gamer is lame and a lot of 360 titles will suffer because of it.
Aren't those games just demos?
And seriously...JUST THROW INTHE FREAKIN HARD DRIVE.
What are they thinking?! Oh yeah..$99 for a 20 gig...
$$$$$$$$$$
One of the worst decisions made in recent console history (first being nintendo giving sony the shaft when sony was creating the cd-rom drive for the SNES, which they later turned into the PS1...and we all know what happened after that).
Sucks that devs can't program a game that depends on the hard drive.
just disgraceful
almost bought one last week... haha, a little late on the anouncement! they have been at Fry's Electronics and others.... but seriously no HDD is such a turn off for me..... haha
Vgchartz are you covering this?
haha.
