It's commonplace for game companies to make gamers' saved-game files oddly incompatible with things they seemingly should be compatible with. So the news Microsoft had for Kotaku today about saved-game cross-compatibility is a progressive step.
On August 11, gamers will be able to download full Xbox 360 games to their console using the new Xbox Live Games on Demand service. At least 30 titles will be available at launch, including some you already own.
A spokesperson for Xbox 360 told Kotaku today that existing save-game files for those games will be compatible with any copies of the games you download from the service. Have a Mass Effect save but you long ago sold Mass Effect back to GameStop or accidentally ran the disc over with your lawnmower? The save file will work with the version of the game you can purchase for download.
Wolfenstein: The New Order turns ten years old today, so we decided to play it again and discovered just how much of an extinct kind of game it is.
It's an outstanding game and so was The Old Blood. Also a lost era of gaming. Interesting, I received a physical copy of The Old Blood 9 years ago today from Poland. It was digital only in North America initially upon release so I had to import.
Wolfenstein: The New Order launched 10 years ago today, but can it stand up to the modern FPS titles it inspired?
I disagree. Its still a fantastic game, with very good gunplay and a surprisingly loveable cast of characters and a good story trough many different and interesting setpieces
I played New Order a couple of years after launch and I give it an 8/10. The shooter holds up because it is focused on being a good shooter. There is no crafting, no RPG elements, no open world find the question mark Weapons are fun. Enemies are fun. Levels offer a nice mix of stealth and shooting. You get to be the predator; this isn’t a game about fending off waves of enemies while a robot companion unlocks a door. Most importantly, New Order is the last of a dying breed of single player shooters.
Singleplayer shooters are still getting released every year, just look up "boomer shooters" and you'll find an an abundance of them. AAA fps campaigns, not so much.
Last year had Trepang2, RoboCop: Rogue City, Turbo Overkill, Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun, Dread Templar, Sprawl and more
Weird all the Wolfenstein articles.
Can you guess what will be announced at Xbox showcase?
What Machine Games did with Wolfenstein franchise is awesome. The game play definitely to me , is still very fun to play !!!
From school politics to ping-pong, pistols to police procedurals, let’s dive into the best that Rockstar has to offer.
uh...duh? of course it would work
Funny some friends and i were just discussing this...
We'll see where it goes
Only 360 has the capabilities to outdo itself and the rest will follow (sony in particular copycats).
More advanced technology for free, things will only get better with time, I mean look at the RROD its not longer an issue and e74 its a thing of the past, 360 has been the second most reliable console in the market since september 2008 consumerreport.org, while sony crap machine its at a 14% increase in faulty machine (fact) look it up.
Although Sony has their advantage in screwing the public for free, here its an example:
We will have PS2 backwards compatibility (not)
4 USB PORTS (NOT)
Graphics unmatched to any PC (not)
Fastest procesor (not)
Greatest remote sixaxis its crap
Online streaming (faulty downstream)
8 SPE (not, only 4 use by developers)
Home greatest open world (not pedophile heaven)
Games obliterate competition (not 99% of games are better on 360)
No multy screen, takes 4 PS3 to do what the 360 can do out of the box.
Lies upon lies, we will have the greatest line up in the history of gaming this year at E3 conference, end result all titles cancel until next year or the year after or the year after,,,,,,,,,,,,
And the list goes on forever, but if you still like it than you are a fandroid that needs support from the true gaming community (jump in).
However, not all its lost, at least sony was capable to bring a pink dildo to the PS3 community, so there its more pain in the little pride that you have left. Hmmmmmm, long, pink, attractive and Im curious on all the thinks that I can do with it (ouch not there it hurts).
Fandroids will never learned, they are close mind it and easy to fool.
By the way Nelson M its a troll that dont know anything about gaming and probably 6 years old that likes to get spank (fact).
In fact I rang MS on numerous occasions and have had 2 Xboxs so far. A fall update I done wiped my whole hard drive, I lost all saves, my gamerscore was ok but the saves where wiped. When it happened I checked the internet and it had also happened to a select few people. When my Xbox Red Ringed the second time all my saves (Progress) was wiped too, I sent my machine off, without the hard drive... when it came back I put the hard drive on and it was blank, I had to connect to live for my gamertag and all saves where gone as well as my miusoic and anything else on my harddrive, but I suppose you don't have to believe me, its fine. If you check my posts I am pro-xbox, except for those silly advertisements but this 'error' was annoying and I was just sharing, after all isn't that what a forum is for!?!
