NowGamer: "Here's something you may not have known about the original Xbox - it played ambient sound on the original dashboard with some really, really creepy sound effects."
Fable got a whole new trailer at the recent Xbox Games Showcase. It was breathtaking and left so much to interpret for fans new and old.
Looks like the epic console wars might be coming to an end, and a new battlefield is heating up: the Handheld Wars. With heavy hitters like the Steam Deck, Lenovo Legion Go, and the trusty Nintendo Switch, portable gaming is taking the spotlight. These handhelds bring the power of consoles to your hands, offering a variety of gaming experiences for both casual and hardcore gamers. While PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo aren't going anywhere, the rise of handheld gaming is giving us more ways to play than ever before.
Console wars were great when it was SNES vs Genesis. Was always a great topic in the school yard. You got the Genesis port the friend got the SNES port. Always fun to compare who was better. I always looked forward after the school week and rent a game for the SNES. Now the console wars are pretty much done and over with PS3 vs XB360 was pretty much the last of the console wars. Anything after that is pretty much one sided with almost everybody going PS4 and PS5. To me the console wars started to drop after the PS3 and XB360 ran their course. Be interesting to see the handheld wars I am in the market for a new handheld system.
I would say with the defeat of Xbox and Nintendo being it's own thing in family friendly handheld gaming, the console wars are over. For those of us that enjoy that kind of entertainment and are aware of this aspect, it was fun while it lasted.
There is no handheld war Nintendo owns the handheld landscape.
In a handheld war, Nintendo cannot be beaten.
PSP was a surprisingly robust effort, and it came the closest... While doing half as well as the DS.
According to insider sources, a Halo Combat Evolved remaster is in development and being considered for launch on PS5.
So the better version will be on PS5 with VR, haptic feedback, 4k, HDR and so on? Can we ban Xbox owners from buying the PS5 version? Put a requirement to have a psn log in to play it.
Why do these news websites keep labeling RUMORS as "Report"? Why even have the word "Report" in the title at all? It's like they are faking an announcement to get more clicks
haha they have definitely taken this from the cracked article that was released yesterday.... still creepy as hell
for reference http://www.cracked.com/arti... number 1 on the list (second page)
I remember my Xbox made somekind of sound like that.
Wonder if mine still works, been under the stairs for years now
I loved everything about the original xbox! The opening with the little yellow bubble about to burst, the sci-fi futuristic looking dashboard menu, and the sounds. So nostalgic! I wish they would allow us to customize the dashboards to display like the old school stuff.
Now it's just a green screen with an x, no creativity or awesomeness. I understand that makes it seem more casual and approachable, but giving us an option wouldn't hurt. I wanna be pumped when i turned my system on!
Reminds me of creeping through vents in Half Life.
