Today's the day, kids. Microsoft is officially raising the price of its Xbox Live Gold subscription fees in North America, Canada, Mexico and the UK. Now you get to pay even more for stuff that you can get free elsewhere. It's the American dream!
Online multiplayer is back for 11 more games thanks to Insignia's XBL 1.0 replacement service running on Original Xbox consoles and the Xemu emulator on PC. Multiplayer, voice chat, leaderboards, etc. have been a monthly addition for many games from Xbox's past library thank to the team at Insignia.live! The 11 new games are now playable online once again after 13+ years.
Nah they will be tho look at rscs3 they have psn made in there emulator why not xenia bro?
Booo!! I was hoping that was Rainbow Six: Black Arrow...Boo!! again. I thought this coming to Xbox. I don't even read it I was so excited.
Has everyone completely forgotten Blinx?
Literally one that's called Banjo-Threeie and they start the game with Kazooie waking up in distress telling Banjo of a hardly nightmare while recapping Nuts and Bolts.
Microsoft never could maintain a longrunning decent 3D platformers series of their own
I don't think "longrunning" is really necessary... Isn't Blinx the only one that got a sequel?
Not sure if it was Xbox only back in the day but I'd love a current gen jet set radio!
Without a doubt, one of our highlights from EGX Rezzed 2016 was Table Top Racing. It was almost a classic love tale…”As soon as we locked eyes… (enter mushy crap here…)” – We think you get the picture. It just reminded us of a time where gaming was much less complicated and way more colourful, however at the time the game was only due to be released on the PS4… That’s not a bad thing. It just mean’t that being my primary console of choice is Xbox One, we wouldn’t get to play this any time soon as the majority of my games and friends reside in the Microsoft ecosystem – so when we got word this was getting a release on Xbox One, we immediately put our hands up and said “Yes, Please!”.
lol ... that's all im gonna say...
LOL
I LOL your LOL and raise you an LOL...
lol
Regardless people will pay for this service.
Sure psn is fine and its free.
But I feel until sony has a more well structure online service many will continue paying for live.
Live is a very socially connected service.
Things like voice masseging has been around since the original xbox days so to not have it on the psn really begs the question.
In my eyes what would make me pay for live and what makes it so great, is connectivity.
-voice masseging
-multiple log in ids(mandated for most games)
-party system
-ability to watch netflix with a friend online
-things like auto setting(something the ps3 could really use)
-faster times for downloads and streaming
-cross voice chat
-universal game invites
-universal in game music
Ect.
Now if the psn could add or copy these featuess than im pretty sure many will look at the psn diffetent. I mean psn + is okay, but from where is stand I find no use for it really.
1 hour trial on a two year old game, really? How about one hour trial on games that are still months away.
Look, if psn where to go and I mean go through a major facelift. Than I can see many hardcore gamers who currently own a 360 migrate to the ps3.
In my honest opinion all psn needs are a few features here and there.
An improve browser
The ability to massege and play music while browsing the store
Voice masseging
Cross chat
Party system
Auto settings
Faster loading times for the xmb and downloads
Ect.
Botton line is this, If sony can bring these things in an update, than yes people who didnt then question xbox lives pricing would now do so.
Heck an update like this could potentially turn the ps3 into the ultimate entertainment home system I mean really now...
