Quieter 360s Through Software Update

That's what German site Cynamite claims, anyways. They say that journalists packing debug units already have the update, which noticeably reduces the amount of noice the 360 makes when it kicks into high gear.

Well that's cool! They can improve hardware functioning through software updates. That's funky and very promising for the future. Sweet

To below. Yes of course...but like the sound of the hardware sounds a little differnt.

Xi6267d ago

they always could. Drivers ring a bell?

MissAubrey6267d ago

anyways if true thats pretty cool.

dantesparda6267d ago (Edited 6267d ago )

They always could do that, just look at the PC. But i hope so, cuz this sh!t is too loud, i have the Toshiba drive and its loud!

techie6266d ago

Will it be the drive or the fan system? I'm confused how it can work... Are you saying I don't deserve them? I didn't mean to sound like a dumbasss on this post.

Its very exciting if this rumor is true.

weekapaugh6267d ago

hope its true, that thing is way too loud...

bung tickler6267d ago (Edited 6267d ago )

they sure its just not that the dev kits have the quieter new drives? i mean the only way a software update can make a DVD drive quieter is by slowing it down which would mean a longer load time, and personally i will take my 360 just the way it is over a slower loading one, i never notice any noise from the thing as is when i have my surround sound on.

dantesparda6267d ago

Ah man, i am so sick and tired of this bullsh!t excuse, i dont care if you got your stereo system turned all the way up, the fact is, the the Toshiba drive systems are to loud, pure, plain and simple. Its loud, and lower would be better. Though i do agree with the not giving up speed for quietness

bung tickler6267d ago

actually the toshiba dives were somewhat quieter,its the drive i have, the hitachi drives are the super craptastic loud ones. as for me i hardly notice it with the sound turned down, if the sound is at a normal game playing level i honestly do not hear it at all. now whisper quiet would be best for sure but unless you got a hitachi you really dont have anything to b!tch about.

dantesparda6266d ago

Actually, my B, you're right, i messed up, i meant the Hitachi drive. So i do have something to b!tch about, as you so eloquently put it (LOL) ;-)

Covenant6267d ago

My new 360 is a lot quieter than my old one, even when it "revs" up while loading/running a game. One of the new DVD drives, I suppose.

Ranking the Devil May Cry Series

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Upon finally finishing Devil May Cry 5 recently - after it spent several years on my “I’ll play that soon” list - I considered giving it a fittingly-named Late Look article. However, considering that this was indeed the final piece I was missing in the DMC puzzle, I decided to instead take this opportunity to take a look back at the entirety of this genre-defining series and rank the entries. What also made this a particularly tempting notion was that while most high-profile series have developed fairly evenly over time, with a few bumps on the road, the history of Devil May Cry has, at least in my eyes, been an absolute roller coaster, with everything from total disasters to action game gold."

First to last for me...3,4,5,1,2.

VersusDMC3h ago

Me leaving it out should be telling of my thoughts on it. Better than 2 as a DMC game.

Still a good game though.

Friendlygamer5h ago

3,1,4,5 to me, never played 2. 5 gameplay is amazing but level design was really disappointing to me, just a bunch of plain arenas, the story felt like a worse written rehash of the 3rd and the charater models looked weird ( specially the ladies ). Another problem with 5 was that there was not enough content for 3 charaters so I could never really familiarize with any of them

monkey6024h ago(Edited 4h ago)

2.
Dmc.
4.
5.
1.
3.

God DMC2 was an awful game.
And in case this isn't obvious it goes worst to best

Yui_Suzumiya2h ago

1 and DmC. The rest are unimportant.

DarXyde2h ago

Order changes depending on your focus. I tend to focus on gameplay/fun factor, so...

5, 3, 1, 4, 2.

I really didn't like 4 but commend Dante's weapon diversity. The retreading of old ground was pretty unacceptable to me.

But even then... Still more enjoyable than 2 for me

Used to love this one, but X-Men Legends 1 and 2 will always be my favorites, especially Rise of Apocalypse. Would pay some good money to play it today with online multiplayer, back then I had no way to get a modem

RavenWolfx2h ago

Yeah, I loved the Legends games so much.

ZeekQuattro9h ago

I remember buying them dirt cheap on the PS4 and then a few days later I read they were delisted. I was wondering why the bundle was price so low and got my answer when that happened.

Knightofelemia8h ago(Edited 8h ago)

Sad to say this is one game franchise next to the Xmen that needs a sequel. I use to play the hell out of Xmen Legends and Marvel Ultimate Alliance. Was great when my cousin had the OG Xbox play with four other people and then playing online. Great games glad to see it reappear even though I own the discs love the mechanics of this game.

Terry_B7h ago

It got a sequel..but for dumbass #reasons as a switch exclusive.

shinoff21837h ago

It looked so horrible to. They should've kept it similar to the first two.

Asplundh7h ago

Because Nintendo funded it, they did the same for Bayonetta.

Knightofelemia7h ago

I totally forgot about the Switch sequel.

jukins7h ago

Misleading. This page is whats available for people who owned the game prior to delisting.

Abnor_Mal6h ago

The first game was the best imo.
