phone in the future. Now i wonder what hiptop will be.

actas1235956d ago

Exactly. That move was an early indication that Microsoft will follow Apples' footsteps and make their own cellphone. But its possible that they'll integrate a gaming emulator in the phone in order to make it play some simple games ( but thats the case of every other phone in the market nowadays)

This is to do with windows mobile to fend off Google, not a portable xbox. Stupid article.

Google creates something...MS buys someone to compete.

Bzone245956d ago

If I'm not mistaken, Google bought Android in 2005.

Copying is always easier then creating, we know the peeps at MS are dumb as hell, they can only survive by pumping fresh blood into the deceased Microsoft veins.

They are on life support on the gaming market.

Im not sure I would want ANOTHER MS phone!! I'm using a MOTO Q from sprint thats running windows mobile an I cant even send Picture text BECAUSE it runs WINDOWS MOBILE!! I can send picture EMAIL but not picture TEXT. suck because my phone plan charges me 5 bucks a month for picture text but my phone doesnt support it!! THANKS MS

Dude, Sprint uses Windows Mobile as a platform for their own "user-offering".

My Pantech Duo from AT&T is not butchered like Sprint phones.

If you want to complain to someone, talk to Sprint, not MS. In fact, I hope MS does release the HipTop themselves, the American Cellphone market has been a barrier to proper innovation in the cellphone space, and Sprint is a classic example of it.

They tie the phone's up to their pay-for-play moneymaking scams. Take a look at a Windows Mobile 6 phone from someone *other* than Sprint.

Regarding cellphone games, wouldnt it be interesting if they made the HipTop, Windows and Xbox 360 play all XNA or Xbox LIVE Arcade games -- maybe that's the point of the size requirement?

We really havent seen the buisness case / plan around XNA yet... Im sure that will have something to do with their portable plan... and/or XBLA? That would work rather well wouldnt it - a nice stable of games appropriate for portable-gameplay...?

Black ops 4, because it was the last cod of duty I was able to dominate with a +2 k/d ratio. Before all the freaking cheating started to happen. It was nice catching people off guard and shooting at them first and getting the kill. Unlike now, where I shoot people first, but they gun me down with less hits, less time, literally feels like they can kill me in a split second. At times, they are able to run away after me shooting them way more than necessary, yet, the second I'm spotted, I'm dead, there's no me running away to cover. They can do cartwheels, summersaults, backflips and gun you down perfectly. They can shoot you across the map with perfect accuracy. They can jump around like morons and gun you down without even having to correct their aim. They have superman split second perfect reactions. That's the best way to describe it, everything they do is spot on perfect. They can spam and spray (no praying) their gun from far away, because they have no recoil or bullet spread. It always feels like I have to aim and also correct my aim when moving around, while these pricks don't have to do the same.

And yes, I know how to play fps games. I dominated many fps games like: Resistance 1&2, kz 2&3, Socom, MAG, Crysis, Gotham City Impostors, blitz brigade etc. all with 2-4 k/d ratio. Kz2 (lag input controls) and resistance (no aim assist in resistance) being the hardest and were the games I reached either close to a 3 k/d ratio or above.

I truly got to enjoy blacks ops 4 and got my money's worth out of it. Afterwords, I would either stop playing cod games after a while, because of the cheating, or would skip buying cod games for a year or two before buying another.
