Would you rather have your Xbox 360 play games quieter, but at the expense of slowing down the disc drive speed? It seems that it's a choice we all soon have to make. German site Cynamite is reporting that debug consoles have been given a software update that did exactly the same.
Plenty of unforgettable games have completely messed up their players throughout the years, all the way back from the PS1 days to the dark recesses of the modern internet.
Huzaifah from eXputer: "Sleeping Dogs from the early 2010s is one of the best open-world games out there but in dire need of a resurgence."
You say "yet" as if it's even possible anymore. United Front Games is gone, along with anyone that made this game what it is
That’s what happens when games sell poorly. And I’ve seen people wonder why people cry when a game sells badly… this is your answer.
Sleeping Dogs was a sleeper hit back then. It was fantastic. It actually still is. Would love a sequel to this, or at least a revive of True Crime series.
Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle-earth II was an intriguing and unique RTS title, that sadly suffered in its console port.
Was just thinking about this game and wishing I had a way to revisit it. The way EA scrubs these titles from existence once their licensing runs out is horrid.
think about, it seems silly to give the common user the ability to change their disk drive speed... however, the ability for a developer to turn back the drive speed when the level is already loaded makes a lot of sense. Only games that require constant streaming would require the drive going at a full 12X all the time. But games that fully load an environment can turn it down to like 1X while the game is played and then spin it back up when additional loading is necessary.
Well i agree with you eques, but if we got the update onto our 360, would there be a way for us to change the speed on the console?
see the ability to download a game to the HD and have less loading time like the PS3. Or maybe thats what MS intends to do to make up for the speed. Id agree to that. Although my Xbox is quiet since I got mine repaired with the new Benq drive.
How is this a decision we'll "all have to make"? I don't envision making this decision. If it's part of a dashboard update, then its mandatory.
My new console is much quieter than the old one, and strangely enough, doesn't seem to run any slower.
