The architecture of the 360 and the Xbox One (and indeed the PS3/PS4) is too great in difference for emulation to be efficiently possible without having literally kitted the console with the innards of the predecessor console.
Anyone that still thinks emulation can be made possible for their discs via a software update isn't paying attention.
In the very least, I can assure you that Sony haven't recalled the stock of controllers we have in the GAME store that I work in.
My thoughts are they'll probably allow stores to sell off current stock before sending stock of modified controllers.
I'd argue that if nobody realised any different until now, perhaps this whole resolution fixation everyone seems to be having is a complete waste of time.
Whether true or not, as someone that personally works at a GAME store I can assure you that they wouldn't be receiving marketing materials for a currently unannounced game.
Not allowed to say unfortunately, but you'll know on Tuesday.
Oh, the woes of working in a game store and knowing these things yet being a video game journalist and not being allowed to speak about it yet. :(
He does mention in the video that it's the most useless creation because it'll never be able to physically achieve its goal, to be fair to him!
It's sort of cool that theoretically it WOULD work though.
What the heck are you talking about?
I work at a GAME store and although we are indeed out of stock of Xbox One's, that's only because Microsoft have failed to give us any more stock since launch.
All of our first stock went to day one pre-order customers, so we still haven't even been given stock for the second phase of pre-orders yet. On the other hand, despite the PS4 releasing here a week after and having a somewhat longer pre-order list, we've almost fulfilled all of our PS4 pre-orders and ...
I'm aware it's a minimal difference and I'm not assuming it makes much of a difference, just pointing it out for sake of interest folks. ;)
I work for GAME and have no clue what this is, so unfortunately don't expect it to be anything vital.
Agreed and should have mentioned in the article - £9.99 is a little steep for this kind of game.
I ended up getting Noby Noby Boy a few years back for short of £4 I think and it's still enjoyable now. Loved that game.
Yeah, it was a fairly rushed article written on a day on which I was ill.
I'll be honest, I only read the title of the article before making that comment and quickly realised it was satire when I did read it.
In that case, I suppose you could consider my comment as a summary of the point the satire is likely making.
Well, that's why it's an 18 rated game. If he's going to allow his son to play it, he has to take personal responsibility for any consequences.
You raise a good point there! 'Greatest Ever Platformer' does sound a bit... stupid.
They're CoroCoro magazine scans, of course it's real.
I imagine the titles 'Pokémon X and Y' were named as such in reference to the new Mega evolutions after all anyway, refering to the X and Y chromosomes in relation to the DNA splice-enabling mega evolutions.
Although my first reaction is to groan at the loss of potentially great LucasArts Star Wars games, part of me is glad that these were all dropped.
They were clearly just throwing any old shit at the wall and seeing what stuck and that's a sign of running dry on ideas and creativity.
As lovely as 'Star Wars: Han Solo' may sound, it probably would've turned out awfully.
The game's a simple, free game with an interesting concept. It's got little replayability, but it is interesting for a quick play.
The article's done fairly well on here and has ended up being posted everywhere all over the internet resulting in thousands of views back to my site, so yes thank you, I'd consider it a hit.
Uh, not quite.
Here in Europe at least, it's fully legal to rip music/films from content that you've already paid for.
