The 360 has managed to establish itself far more successfully than it's predecessor and has become an industry leader in delivering online gaming and content, along with an ever growing AAA software library. However, since last year's peak of Holiday 07, console sales have plateaued whilst the PS3 has continued to improve on the back of quality exclusives like MGS4 and the Wii has continued to puzzle analysts, break records and to generally just keep the casual masses eating it up.
We believe it's time for Microsoft to respond with a smorgasbord of announcements regarding hardware, pricing, peripherals, and a whole lot more for Xbox Live. So enjoy as we speculate what will not only have Microsoft talking, but the entire industry come the 14th of July at E3 '08.
How important do we think Blu-ray, motion controls, "Avatars", price cuts, "MyLive" and other features will be?
ScreenRant's Ben Brosofsky writes, "There have been a lot of great co-op games over the years, and the best of the best cover a wide variety of genres while maintaining the fun."
ScreenRant's Stephen Tang writes, "The Elder Scrolls 6 won't be releasing for a while, and in the meantime, the modding community has been making Skyrim into a next-gen game."
That’s just laughable to me. I think they’ve squeezed all they can out of an 12 year old game
"Easily" because they see mods, says the gamer. To heck with licensing, terms agreements conditions, etc. all you need to do is belive in mods. Yeah, so real superficial BS yo.
Do people not want to play a new game? Like, I’d rather see 6 than just a prettier version of a game we’ve been playing since the 360/PS3 gen…
The Nerd Stash: "Developed by Treyarch Studios, Call of Duty: Black Ops games are some of the best in the series in terms of gameplay, story, and -- of course -- Zombies."
Black ops 4, because it was the last cod of duty I was able to dominate with a +2 k/d ratio. Before all the freaking cheating started to happen. It was nice catching people off guard and shooting at them first and getting the kill. Unlike now, where I shoot people first, but they gun me down with less hits, less time, literally feels like they can kill me in a split second. At times, they are able to run away after me shooting them way more than necessary, yet, the second I'm spotted, I'm dead, there's no me running away to cover. They can do cartwheels, summersaults, backflips and gun you down perfectly. They can shoot you across the map with perfect accuracy. They can jump around like morons and gun you down without even having to correct their aim. They have superman split second perfect reactions. That's the best way to describe it, everything they do is spot on perfect. They can spam and spray (no praying) their gun from far away, because they have no recoil or bullet spread. It always feels like I have to aim and also correct my aim when moving around, while these pricks don't have to do the same.
And yes, I know how to play fps games. I dominated many fps games like: Resistance 1&2, kz 2&3, Socom, MAG, Crysis, Gotham City Impostors, blitz brigade etc. all with 2-4 k/d ratio. Kz2 (lag input controls) and resistance (no aim assist in resistance) being the hardest and were the games I reached either close to a 3 k/d ratio or above.
I truly got to enjoy blacks ops 4 and got my money's worth out of it. Afterwords, I would either stop playing cod games after a while, because of the cheating, or would skip buying cod games for a year or two before buying another.
Lol, much better than that MyGamerpad rumour! ;p
And what about those back compatible motion controls:
"Targeting the casual market is all well and good, but getting the sizable hardcore market on side by offering a fresh experience with current AAA titles like Halo 3, Gears of War, Bioshock and the EA Sports range, would be a stroke of genius."
I don't know whether that's genius or sheer madness! lol
LMAO xbugs.
what AAAs? seriously i dare any xbug to name more then 5 exclusive AAAs on the xbug 3rd60 that i cant play best on PC.
DO grow a life mate, if you have nothing sensible to say, don't say anything.
I hate fanboys like you who sprout stuff but have nothing to back it up with.
Both major platforms have some excellent Exclusive ideas and AAA' titles and many gamers will benefit from it (all platforms). Shouldn't it be more about Gaming per-say rather than seeing wholes got a bigger dong than the other. It's like schoolyard tomfoolery all over again.
And is xbugs a new name for an xbox supporter, The Xbox 360 current out strips the competition 3:1 with regards to available titles. It has the highest attachment rate in games history which has just officially reached 7:1 . . which is unheard of in gaming and the developers and publisher love that.
The PS3 will have a higher attachment rate, once it gets more titles, it has a huge attachment rate with movies, not games. The 360 is a gaming console, not a movie replay device.
All consoles are created equal...some are more equal than others. Seriously, the Xbox and PS3 both have some fantastic games, no need for fanboyism every news item about one or the other.
I'm not sold on digital distribution, so if they head too far that way, they had better release hard copy game version too.
