VG247: Speaking with VG247 at E3 this week, Infinity Ward's Mark Rubin said that Modern Warfare 2 leaves the Xbox 360 winded and gasping for breath. At this point, he noted, it's all about finding little tricks to squeeze more power out of the aging machine.
Tripwire Interactive's Killing Floor debuted 15 years ago, birthing a critically acclaimed series and a new publishing arm.
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.
Killzone 2 would explode in the 360. lawl
I don't know, I'm not a developer, but according to IW the xbox360 seems to be almost maxed out, as for the PS3, I've never heard of such a claim by any developer. So draw your own conclusions.
Oh and I guess this is a perfect example that just because a game has pretty graphics, doesn't mean it makes the xbox360 "not" maxed out. I'm not an expert on this but I'm sure there is more to it than nice graphics.
Wha? Modern Warfare looks good but Splinter Cell looks so much better.
Perhaps the technology isn't Infinity Wards strength?
EDIT: A disagree? Did you watch the Conviction gameplay footage? It looks so much better than MW 2.
For modern warfare 3 they will claim that the 360 will be pushed to its outer limits instead of upper limits.
To boldly go where no game went in the 360 before.
And next year COD6 will do the same and the year after that COD:MW3 will do the same as well.
Hyping graphics and tech doesnt make people like the game anymore than they already do, its the gameplay that draws people to it
