It would be smart for Microsoft to provide their developers with latest and greatest physical media storage, and at the moment that is Blu-Ray. Whether or not 8 gigabyte limit is holding developers back from pushing games to the next level, extending the limit would do nothing but give the generation a nudge in the right direction."
Xbox 360 launched 18 years ago and was a generation-defining console that invited many people to jump into gaming for the first time and connect with friends around the world. We’re thrilled people continue playing their favorite Xbox 360 games on Xbox 360, or on newer consoles via Backward Compatibility for supported titles.
"we believe in game preservation"
Remember the media reaction when PlayStation wanted to shut down the PS3 store (but then kept it open)... where is that reaction here?
RIP Xbox 360 digital store and all its games.
It really grinds my gears that they are waiting till 10 days before closing to give the best discounts and the list as of now is 100 or less titles from the massive 360 library
I should have enough points by the weekend to get £25 credit off MS, (hardly ever spend money on xb1), might look at a few of these.
The Xbox 360 store was one of the only advantages the Xbox Series consoles had over the PS5. When I got my series X, I spent more playing Xbox 360 games vs current-gen Xbox games since that was the golden era for Xbox and several titles had enhancements such as 4k resolution and fps boost.
Closing this store will now only benefit the competition.
Backward compatibility works for many games on newer consoles, but titles such as The Simpsons: Hit and Run have been left out.
From base building to swinging willies, here are the best survival games around, which include a couple of less than obvious picks.
It's not just Blu-Ray. The lack of a standard HDD holds back development a lot, too. That's why multiplatform games are looking very crummy compared to games developed just for the PS3, yet these same multiplatform games look just as good (and often better) than any 360 exclusive. Resident Evil 5, Fallout 3, and Modern Warfare 2 all spring to mind.
Not that I am not happy with the current standard of Xbox games I just think that giving the developers more disc space to play with would certainly inspire developers.
The Xbox needs alot of things.
they didn't need it then, they dont need it now
No Swap and No game compression helping Devs to make better games and by that don't f*ck the ports for the PS3
