It's commonplace for game companies to make gamers' saved-game files oddly incompatible with things they seemingly should be compatible with. So the news Microsoft had for Kotaku today about saved-game cross-compatibility is a progressive step.
On August 11, gamers will be able to download full Xbox 360 games to their console using the new Xbox Live Games on Demand service. At least 30 titles will be available at launch, including some you already own.
A spokesperson for Xbox 360 told Kotaku today that existing save-game files for those games will be compatible with any copies of the games you download from the service. Have a Mass Effect save but you long ago sold Mass Effect back to GameStop or accidentally ran the disc over with your lawnmower? The save file will work with the version of the game you can purchase for download.
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.
uh...duh? of course it would work
Funny some friends and i were just discussing this...
We'll see where it goes
Only 360 has the capabilities to outdo itself and the rest will follow (sony in particular copycats).
More advanced technology for free, things will only get better with time, I mean look at the RROD its not longer an issue and e74 its a thing of the past, 360 has been the second most reliable console in the market since september 2008 consumerreport.org, while sony crap machine its at a 14% increase in faulty machine (fact) look it up.
Although Sony has their advantage in screwing the public for free, here its an example:
We will have PS2 backwards compatibility (not)
4 USB PORTS (NOT)
Graphics unmatched to any PC (not)
Fastest procesor (not)
Greatest remote sixaxis its crap
Online streaming (faulty downstream)
8 SPE (not, only 4 use by developers)
Home greatest open world (not pedophile heaven)
Games obliterate competition (not 99% of games are better on 360)
No multy screen, takes 4 PS3 to do what the 360 can do out of the box.
Lies upon lies, we will have the greatest line up in the history of gaming this year at E3 conference, end result all titles cancel until next year or the year after or the year after,,,,,,,,,,,,
And the list goes on forever, but if you still like it than you are a fandroid that needs support from the true gaming community (jump in).
However, not all its lost, at least sony was capable to bring a pink dildo to the PS3 community, so there its more pain in the little pride that you have left. Hmmmmmm, long, pink, attractive and Im curious on all the thinks that I can do with it (ouch not there it hurts).
Fandroids will never learned, they are close mind it and easy to fool.
By the way Nelson M its a troll that dont know anything about gaming and probably 6 years old that likes to get spank (fact).
In fact I rang MS on numerous occasions and have had 2 Xboxs so far. A fall update I done wiped my whole hard drive, I lost all saves, my gamerscore was ok but the saves where wiped. When it happened I checked the internet and it had also happened to a select few people. When my Xbox Red Ringed the second time all my saves (Progress) was wiped too, I sent my machine off, without the hard drive... when it came back I put the hard drive on and it was blank, I had to connect to live for my gamertag and all saves where gone as well as my miusoic and anything else on my harddrive, but I suppose you don't have to believe me, its fine. If you check my posts I am pro-xbox, except for those silly advertisements but this 'error' was annoying and I was just sharing, after all isn't that what a forum is for!?!
