From the PlanetXbox360.com feature article:
"With Nintendo’s Wii U just around the corner, I thought that it may be a good time to begin looking forward to the next Xbox’s launch. For one, when considering what Microsoft has done in the past (shortcomings and successes alike) it becomes a tad bit easier to form a picture of what they may be planning to unleash come fall 2013 (the time period I expect that the new console will hit shelves). Here’s a list of a few things Microsoft should do to ensure that the Xbox 360’s successor is not a flop."
Hanzala from eXputer: "With Ubisoft's practices becoming increasingly anti-consumer lately, the destruction of The Sands of Time Remake looks almost inevitable."
Hey Ubi, here's a gun, don't shoot yourself in the foot.
*Ubi takes gun, aims at foot, empties clip*
Hanzla from eXputer inquires: "If Xbox can care about preserving its games and legacy, what exactly is wrong with Nintendo, trying to kill game preservation single-handedly?"
Ahh yes the good old game preservation of saving all your games to a removable hhd on the Xbox 360, taking it round your mates house, setting up multiple tvs to
Be met with “save data corrupted, please re download”
Or how about removing 360 games
From the store
, download them now or else, and, better hope to god that save data doesn’t corrupt, or it’s lost for ever
Nice one ☝️
This is just a scammy PR move to distract from the fact they are going digital only and trying to push streaming and subscriptions only.
No gaming company has pushed harder to remove ownership than Microsoft.
Without discs there is no preservation, preservation can't be done by the rights holders it can only be done by the consumers, anything else is a lie.
Nobody wants this. Sales or the lack of it in the case of XBOX is very telling. I wonder how the adorably all digital series X will fare. Adorably dismal perhaps?
Only time will tell, but for from someone like me suspecting that Xbox is trying to gracefully exit the console market, that "forward compatibility" team is trying to get Xbox games playing on Windows PCs. I mean, it's nice that they're not planning on exiting with a "enjoy your games while the hardware still works" message, so that's nice. They still have a brand to protect via Microsoft so probably feel obligated to have a better exit strategy.
Top executives including games boss Sean Shoptaw have also been promoted…
Good list, for me it comes down to launch exclusives and price...
Games games and more games; the Xbox LIVE content is cool too but don't lose focus on the games...
1. Release it
Free online multiplayer. Bare bones Xbox Live Silver, with Internet Explorer and multiplayer for free. They can keep their chat and party and cross chat and cloud for Gold, I just wanna play online for free.
As long as it has some good launch games it will do o.k... I know for a fact that Just Cause 3 will be one of those titles.
