Why the Xbox 360 Blades Dashboard is at Risk of Becoming Extinct

That image brings me back. How have they fallen so far since the 360? They have the blueprint they just need to use it.

OK, let's start with the truthful part of this.No.The blade dashboard is never truly going to go extinct.Firstly, yes, retail consoles with it may run out
However.With a RGH or Jtag modded 360.It is possible to flash the kernel with the original blades dash and revert to the original dashboard.In fact, it's possible to revert to any dashboard.
Except I think two of them. The blades is not on the list of the ones that can't be reverted to. Some may think what about fuses used to stop this that's no longer a problem once your consoles already been modded and exploited
Along with that, there's other mods with a stealth server allowing you to use a blades dash online so in short no the blades dash will never truly be dead

The "New Wild Hunt Release" that they are referring to are the controllers, and wanting to see more stuff like special edition controllers for The Witcher 4.

I just received the xb controller and while it's nice looking, the packaging was a total fail. An unbranded plain brown box. Not even a themed box like Doom got, or at least a regular looking box. Just a plain brown box.

Oh, and a 10th anniversary sticker in the box too.

That sucks about the packaging, I'm glad you like the controller at least. The last controller that I bought I would put back in the box at the end of the gaming session.

Thanks for saving me a click! Doing the Lord’s work.

Didn't want to go that hard, but kinda felt a little baity to me.

Everything this site does is a bait to absorb ad revenue... we need to reform our submission process. We need a quality litmus test.

Can we please ban this site?

Peter Molyneux recalls how Project Milo, the Kinect game with revolutionary promise, died a death

Vapourware can end up being the stuff of legend, like Rockstar's Agent, Star Wars 1313, or StarCraft: Ghost. Without ever seeing the light of day, these games never risked the possibility of being played and forgotten, and instead live on forever as the subjects of lengthy YouTube essays.

Still, Molyneux's most notable lost game (or tech demo, depending on who you asked at the time) was arguably Project Milo.

I can see the potential of the kinect hardware... its rather impressive tech, but it was just not meant to be for gaming. If anything, MS had a huge missed opportunity to have used it for the AR/VR projects.

S2Killinit3d ago

Missed opportunity? They lied. It was the biggest lie in gaming history.

merlox3d ago

You can use the Kinect as an SLS camera for paranormal investigations. So it wasn’t a complete failure.

Remember Star Wars Kinect announcement? Biggest laughable acting seen

It was built on lies Peter...you know this.

Bro that thing NEVER existed, what we got was a concept video

Knushwood Butt4d ago

"Unfortunately, as we were developing Milo, so the Kinect device was being developed. And they realised that the device that Alex Kipman first showed off would cost $5,000 for consumers to buy.

"So they cost-reduced that device down to such a point, where the field-of-view...I think it was a minuscule field-of-view. In other words, it could only just see what's straight in front of you."

Hmm, exactly what tech was in it, that was cut, affected the development? It was only ever interpreting visual and audio inputs right? The xbox was processing those inputs.

Nor do I see how the field of view thing is relevant to the discussion.

isarai4d ago

Exactly! Tf kinda BS statement was that? i don't really see how fov is relevant at all, since when do you move all around a room while talking/interacting to someone?

Amplitude3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

This is entirely untrue. There was never a 5000 dollar Kinect prototype that could somehow use a wider field of view to scan and import generated in-game items and advance AI by over a decade. Anybody that fell for this was a stupid moron child, myself included. Anybody that falls for this lie now is a stupid moron child who doesn't realize that these people *only* know how to lie.
