A developer who worked on the Xbox 360’s dashboard recently revealed the way Microsoft tracked NDA breakers during the last console generation.
The Nerd Stash: "Developed by Treyarch Studios, Call of Duty: Black Ops games are some of the best in the series in terms of gameplay, story, and -- of course -- Zombies."
BLG writes, "Do you ever get that feeling after you’ve finished a game that you just wish there was more? Or do you spend years hoping and praying for a sequel that never comes?
This list compiles some of the top games we desperately want to get a sequel. Please give us more of our favorite games!"
Would love to see a sequel to the 7th gen FPS campaign SINGULARITY from RAVEN Software..
GL: "Staff writer Shaz reflects on his small library of physical games he's kept throughout the decades, and how a recent move made him nostalgic."
I lost my drive for collecting physical games due to many discs lacking the whole complete game. Instead, of collecting games I started collected figurines.
I am a collector have a room dedicated with a couple original arcade cabinets, physical game library, old and new consoles and controllers backlit with LED lighting. It’s very cool to have but with emulation being so strong and prevalent, I sometimes feel foolish because the hobby is expensive and like another said, the full game is not always on the disc. Could probably spend more wisely but I enjoy it.
Most games are usually on disc still. Of course you got you publishers that are hit and miss, Activision, ubisoft, ea, Microsoft, where the rest of the game needs downloaded.
Very clever and disturbing....
It was only on NDA'd beta systems. It's a brilliant trick though.
Ironic how he breaks NDA to say this.:)
I doubt MS cares at this point though. It's a clever trick, and this kind of thing is much more common than one may think. There are a host of freely available, or for purchase tools which can offer up simple solutions which can track down people who do something like this. Sometimes its embedded in ways you can't see, other times its in plain sight.
Very cool how they did that, sneaky and awesome way to deter stupid people who can't keep products a secret for the time being.
