Xbox 360 2012 Beta Dashboard Review

Lets take a look at the 2012 Beta Dashboard, due out in the fall of 2012 and highly anticipated from opinions so far.

As you may know, people are not really supposed to speak about this, so we have used Tizlar's account to post it, as he and Microsoft aren't exactly pals so its a safe account to discuss on. Here is Tizlar's opinion and lets just say 'impressive'.

nice post, cant wait for the update

nukeitall4275d ago (Edited 4275d ago )

I can't wait for it either, but I don't have access to my Xbox 360 at the moment. :(

OC_MurphysLaw4276d ago

How can you review a beta? I mean its not final code yet so things may change for good or bad?

Lastly...umm...NDA?

GaminGuys4275d ago

Gives you an insight, the point is, its hardly likely to get worse than the beta, least thats the way it usually goes with bug fixes etc.

Mustang300C20124275d ago

So you should be screaming your lungs off since Neogaf has been posting discussing so openly since day one.

OC_MurphysLaw4275d ago

Fair enough...Neogaf is a different world anyway. It's this exclusive club that frowns on trolling their forums yet they troll the industry constantly. I have a love / hate relationship with Neogaf much like I do N4G...it can be great and totally infuriating at the same time.

GaminGuys4275d ago

I don't deal with neo anyone man whats the point of the comment?

OC_MurphysLaw4275d ago

@neildee250... I wasnt replying to you...Redhemi brought up Neogaf which I was responding to.

digitaleraser4274d ago

Exactly...you can't review a Beta, it should say "preview."

GhostHero3334275d ago

I still like the first dashboard when you would press the xbox button on the controller and an easy to view menu came from the side.

bobrowski4275d ago

uhh nope. the guide pops up in the middle smart one

Mustang300C20124275d ago (Edited 4275d ago )

A pop up menu comes up in the middle vs the side. Big whoop where the location of the two is. Your getting more functionality with the "middle" pop up than you are with the "side".

ALLWRONG4275d ago

You see the old dash every time you hit the guide button, just smaller.

NightMystic4275d ago

Shouldn't this be a preview instead of a review?

Legion4275d ago

Semantics at best. They are Reviewing the Beta... not Previewing the actual Dashboard. The difference is that a Preview will have detailed information on known options. While the review of the Beta is simply that, a review of a Beta that might have different options when it comes out of Beta stage.

Captain Qwark 94275d ago

sounds good but no way it can be a ten if you cant watch videos on the internet explorer. im tired of using the porn machine 3's browser, i would have liked to turn my 360 into a porn machine as well

i automatically knock off a point. 9/10

Dfooster4274d ago

The iPhone doesn't have flash and I've been viewing certain **cough** sites for years on there. Plenty of YouTube-a-like websites to cater to a certain type of gentleman (or lady)

shutUpAndTakeMyMoney4274d ago (Edited 4274d ago )

youtube apps? ugh..
Also taking away flash is a good way to make sure you can't get free mini games.

Rolling the Dice: Do Modern RPGs Miss the Point of Team-Based Play?

It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.

The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.

1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.

Demons Souls5062d ago

If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).

Godmars2905062d ago (Edited 5062d ago )

Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.

Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.

@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.

ClownBelt5062d ago

I approve of this god damn message.

Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Another exclusive damnn the ps3 keeps on rollin wit games awesome ;)

Jack-Pyro5062d ago

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.

Anon73495062d ago

There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.

Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.

RedDevils5062d ago

so it had some kind of "top tier" porn story jk

ThanatosDMC5062d ago

Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
