Xbox Evolved writes: "Those of you hoping for a completely different experience or something worth checking out will be pretty disappointed. The best way to sum up the update is what NXE should have been November 2008, along with new and "innovative" ways for Microsoft to take your money. Oh and Avatar Awards. Essentially, besides that it is stuff Microsoft promised a year ago, mainly watching Netflix with friends, and a bit more intuitive experience."
We've previously seen what we can take off the Prometheans, but what will Master Chief's backup be bringing to the fight in Halo 4?
Quite a lot of old favorites, as well as some new vehicles and an old enemy.
I know there were going to be mechs for a while, but seeing it actually shoot at that ship is so awesome.
360 Magazine: Call Of Duty Black Ops 2, the XBox 720, the end of the console as we know it and crucial future gaming developments.
You mean 'Activision Presents: Man With Gun 2012, Starring Denzel Washington'.
Also, the new Xbox will be called the Ybox. You heard it here first.
Actually Black Ops had more innovation than Mw3, altough i like Mw series gameplay, maps and guns better i have to admit when it comes to innnovation Treyarch is winning the fight over IW. The emblems customization, the weapons customization and alot more were awesome additions to Cod that IW didnt put in Mw3... I wonder why
Sam, Geoff and Jordan talk about the return of Arrested Development, some Mass Effect 3 rumors and much more. Cat, Peench, Jagger, Pickel join in via the Ustream.tv chatroom and help out with The Weekly Whatchas. Your music this week is Techno Syndrome (Mortal Kombat) by The Immortals from the Mortal Kombat Soundtrack.
This is very true actually, I would agree with this. However, Microsoft said that the major updates to the 360 would come as seperate applications later this year, which this update sets up ready for them. This comes in the form of Last.fm, Facebook, Twitter and the Zune Video programs. Hopefully this would also include Sky TV for the European audiences.
Ms are just gearing up for the big end of year bang guys.
After sony big bang show next week there will be some thing coming your way from Ms, but the major update wont be here till later this year, Major will say some thing soon tho :)
Still I would have to say meh to what it is now. It is like what they did with Netflix, it was super cool, but had the one crazy feature taken out at the last minute, and this update just now fixes it.
of course it is .... the major update with facebook twitter and live fm are still to come .... but the teaks for inside xbox video streaming, reduced installation sizes, faster nxe and achievement tracking and games on demand service are more than welcomed
If you expect something on the level of going from Blades to the NXE every update you are going to be disappointed.
There is a laundry list of new features and fixes and this is just the first part of the update.
