Suite101 looks at how Microsoft's decision to stick with the use of DVDs is affecting the Xbox 360.
17 years later, it still stands out.
The game was indeed amazing. Great characters, gameplay and story!
But the dream sequences penned by Shigematsu were sublime.
I still remember many of these stories and I have integrated in the past in my D&D campaign many years ago.
Microsoft should have just kept pumping money into these guys. Same with a lot of the other studios... the blundered hard.
Lost Odysee deserved a franchise even though development wasn't smooth
It's not like it has had any competition since 2007. Would really like to own the short stories from it in book form.
The problem with most MS games on 360 was they didn’t make the games they paid for them and that makes you less money in the long run and isn’t something you can continue to do especially with declining sales of consoles. MS should have been starting and growing studios from the beginning but they went for paid games and it leaves them without the knowledge and culture of making games.
If you've come looking for great games, you are in the right place. Here are the best Co-Op Games you can play on the PS3
The load times in retrospect are unbearable but I did have hella fun playing couch co-op with my gf on the PS3 and PS2.
Resistance 2 co-op was amazing! I wish they would remaster resistance 1-3 and killzone 1-3 for the PS5.
Let me save you the time to scroll down no Warhawk or Starhawk, 2 of the best co-op games on PS3
It’s quite hard to believe, but Lost Odyssey turns fifteen years old today. A curious product of the time, it has arguably only got better with age - and not just because of what it is, but also what it represents.
The short stories that Kaim collects/remembers are truly emotional. I remember one in particular made my eyes water.
If you've never played this, try to hunt down an original copy, or emulate it. This game was a gem.
I wish there was a remaster. This and Last Story. Sad these games were released on the...wrong platforms...
Umm no. If you really care about multiple discs then just buy a harddrive to install your games to simple as that. You already have to mandatory install games on Ps3 so it pretty much makes the whole ps3 vs 360 argument in this case useless
It's not the fact that they use the DVDs it's more so on their [Microsoft's] practice. It has been stated over and over on here and other places that Microsoft charges devs for the additional DVD. If that was taken out of the equation I think games would probably be longer; and much larger than where they currently are [ on the 360 and quite possibly PS3] Since they wouldn't be held back.
The 360's ALWAYS been crippled, dvd is just another reason y its crippled
It's already crippled by it's inferior hardware lmao
Jump out and play b3yond.
At the beginning of this gen, DVD9 was okay, but we've reached a tipping point. The ambitions of the developers have grown. Sony made a smart choice in incorporating Blu-Ray. I have no idea as to what MS will use in the next generation. Surely, they don't want to pay Sony royalty fees for using Blu-Ray in the Xbox 3, but any alternative high-storage capacity disc readers will be too expensive. HVD is still not ready and costs a lot. Microsoft has some very awkward decisions to make.
