Five Features We Want to See on Xbox Live

TGS: "Xbox Live has come a long way since first launching on the original Xbox in 2002; the online gaming market and the service have changed quite a bit since then for a variety of reasons. With over 20 million Xbox Live users and the rapid growth/competition from rival services, Xbox Live will need to continue to redefine itself to set the service apart from competitors and make the service more appealing to the masses."

though not a XBL user I can related to why they should allow more access to premium features, for free.

Andronix4919d ago

I'm not talking about any future games that might come next year, but Kinect's LAUNCH line-up of games doesn't appeal to me at all. I'd go so far as to say it is anodyne bordering on the shite.

However what would be a great use of it is if you are playing a 4-player co-op game you could see 3 small windows, each with the face of the other players. Or if you are playing Halo Reach, and you see in the corner of your screen a 3-second clip of a player as you kill them. That would be sweet!

If my friends owned a PS3, I would be more than happy to trade my 360 in for a PS3. Can't stand the damn fee...

Elven64920d ago

Same here, I rarely game on my Xbox 360 when it comes to multiplayer. I either game on PC (through GFWL or what ever other service), another console/handheld, etc.

It's not so much the fee but the offerings that make me hesitant to buy Gold often.

TekoIie4919d ago

yeh i hate the fee as well. Sure psn doesnt have quite as many features as XBL. But the features like TV do make give the ps3 a major advantage. (Before anyone shouts ESPN! Thats just one channel...)

gigaware4919d ago (Edited 4919d ago )

OK http://www.youtube.com/watc...

If you are going to watch TV on your console it might as well be the fullest and truest cable experience it can be compared to the standard method

Tapey4919d ago

Here's a feature I want to see on Xbox Live: LESS FUCKING LAG.

KingZFlipper4919d ago

XBL has less Lag than PSN at least. PC has least lag

TekoIie4919d ago

psn doesnt have lag. The only true difference (i think) is download times. It can take about 5 mins longer to download and then you have to install the content. But if games did things like heavy rain did where it shows instructions on how to make an origami while installing it wouldnt matter too much.

fianno4919d ago

How can there be a difference? Isn't most of the connections P2P?

skrug4919d ago

yes, XBL has less lag with its P2P than PSN with dedicated servers.

Hades13374919d ago

Mate I'm on a 2mb connection and I hardly ever lag.

aquamala4919d ago

Lag is caused by your Internet connection, which console you have doesn't matter

hennessey864919d ago

microsoft let people play online for free but keep the main features like party chat espn and the rest of the features for paying gamers like myself

rapidturtle4919d ago

I'm switching over to PS3 this holiday season. Had live since it started, so I figure I have paid over $400 to M$ over the years. I'll be damned if I am going to pay $10 more.
Oh, and hows about putting a damn web browser in the 360 already.

You forgot to add "thank God" at the end of the headline.

tomr29922506d ago

Indeed... Praise the Lord!

V0MIT_M0NSTER2506d ago

So glad that they won't mess with Banjo anymore.

-Foxtrot2505d ago

So you wouldn't want a proper Banjo-Threeie, Jade Empire or Kameo 2...really?

AZRoboto2505d ago

Or Crimson Skies. That was the shiz

FallenAngel19842506d ago

It's a shame we can't get another Banjo-Kazooie game

-Foxtrot2505d ago

Literally one that's called Banjo-Threeie and they start the game with Kazooie waking up in distress telling Banjo of a hardly nightmare while recapping Nuts and Bolts.

PhoenixUp2506d ago

Microsoft never could maintain a longrunning decent 3D platformers series of their own

AZRoboto2505d ago

I don't think "longrunning" is really necessary... Isn't Blinx the only one that got a sequel?

darthv722505d ago

Blinx needs to return if at least to show up Bubsy.

ninsigma2505d ago

Not sure if it was Xbox only back in the day but I'd love a current gen jet set radio!

Paytaa2505d ago

Jet Set Radio Future was only on Xbox. Fantastic game. Even better than Jet Set Radio for the Dreamcast in my opinion. Such a good soundtrack too

ninsigma2505d ago

Game was beast and deserves to come back on current gen. And hell yeah plus one for that soundtrack!

Review: Table Top Racing: World Tour (Xbox One) by The Gamerscore Whores

Without a doubt, one of our highlights from EGX Rezzed 2016 was Table Top Racing. It was almost a classic love tale…”As soon as we locked eyes… (enter mushy crap here…)” – We think you get the picture. It just reminded us of a time where gaming was much less complicated and way more colourful, however at the time the game was only due to be released on the PS4… That’s not a bad thing. It just mean’t that being my primary console of choice is Xbox One, we wouldn’t get to play this any time soon as the majority of my games and friends reside in the Microsoft ecosystem – so when we got word this was getting a release on Xbox One, we immediately put our hands up and said “Yes, Please!”.
