Dutch TV Video: evidence for scratching XBox 360
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.
Majority of the time it's true but if a company/publisher is big (in terms of money), they can take a hit or 2. e.g. I am not worried about Rebirth sales as Square will make Remake 3 anyway but if FF 17 doesn't sell then Square might need to look for alternative. <-- my humble opinion
Oh okay, Activision owned True Crime, but when that didn’t sell as intended it was canceled. Six months later Square Enix bought the rights and changed the title to Sleeping Dogs.*
*As per Wikipedia
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.
Indeed. The game can still be played online on PC.
Xbox 360 players, though? Bang outta luck.
Clive actor Ben Starr plays kiss, marry, kill with Final Fantasy characters, and decides to off Cid from Final Fantasy 12.
Ew VO actors and their cringe core. Fiverr voice actors could out perform this chump.
And yet the great games keep coming and coming and coming. People can complain all they want about the xbox. Microsoft is well aware of the complaints and has addressed them accordingly. It is to be expected that people would go through great lengths to complain about the xbox 360 it is in the lead and as far as I am concered will always be. And what I find funny is the coincidense this vid came out when it did being the ps3 sales have severly slummped world wide. And despite all the problems the little dutch boy had...he was still playing an XBOX 360 and not a ps3 in the end. Desperation to rid stocks of ps3`s are rampant.
Hmmm Baybe the tray got loose some how and when the 360 releases the disc it rubbs on the elevated moldings in the tray who cares the little moron's going to break his 360 anyways because the 360 isn't suppose to be in cubbies with ever vent blocked and after it breaks he'll be on the internet crying with Sony fanboys hoovering around his story like fies on SH*T!.
#1 You think its bad now just wait untill the AAA's start rolling in and the gap between PS3 and 360s fanbase grows even further. This is the most hecktic phase in the industry all the launch BS was childs play, its going to be rough this site will be flooded with anti Ms posts news and comments, Rabid news and even more unprevoked personal attacks, if you think the rabid history that forced this site to transform three times was bad then you just wait.
Well, they're right about the T/S drive having no rubber bumpers close to the DVD drives lens.
BUT
As long as you don't move the drive while it's spinning, and having the console standing stable, it's almost impossible to get the disc to scratch. I have a T/S drive myself. I know at least 10 persons with a T/S drive. Never any scratches...
The most funny thing is (if you can read Dutch otherwise use babelfish), the research that has been done for this program Kassa said something completely different, read it here

In short they say:
Yep, the rubber bumpers are missing. That's a shortcoming of MS's product. BUT we have not been able to actually get the scratches in our lab, not even when we turned the console while spinning. NOT ANY. The discs came out without the scratch 'rings' as mentioned.
And they tested intensively. MS has acknowledged this problem in the mean time and will change the consoles if people want to including the discs.
If you ask me: I think those people have caused it themselves. I have no friend that got scratching like this using the console on a normal way. Their own research showed with intensive testing they couldn't reproduce the scratching. But, the rubber bumpers should have been there for sure.
according to these idiots above me... where did the video once mention sony or ps3... I know what that is. its called fear. you think if you say the ps3 sucks it sucks, and you think saying, "#1 You think its bad now just wait until the AAA's start rolling in and the gap between PS3 and 360s fanbase grows even further" will have an effect on anything but...you?
ya 360 will be 15mil and the ps3 will only be at 3 mil still...hahahahhah toolz
I have never blamed MS for how terrible they make their hardware on this site but it most definitely is true. My first 360 would scratch games. It was only a couple months old and i made sure to give it plenty of room to breath and made sure that my room was cool so it could make up for all the heat from it but still it broke on it's own. I warned everyone that I knew owned a 360 about it. 4 360's (not including mine) broke. Either it was the ring of death or the drive not opening anymore. My second 360 works fine. Friends...theirs still have problems sometimes. MS are sloppy at making 360s.
