The Gaming Vault presents to you Episode 3 of the Vaultcast! In this episode, Tony, Kyle, and Derek bring you this week’s news and reviews.
Kyle reviews Sonic 4: Episode 1 and goes into further detail with Rock Band 3′s new ‘Pro Mode’, following on from last week’s review.
Tony has a rage on Call of Duty: Black Ops and current-gen FPS, the guys talk about sequelitis and FPS shooters on PC, and Michael stops in to talk about his romp with the Kinect and its launch titles!
The video on Black Ops 1 shows some separate rooms, assets, and other features which exist outside of the boundary of the game.
Joy Ride Turbo launched 10 years ago today. The first title was Xbox Kinect exclusive, yet this sequel failed to support the device at all.
Cultured Vultures: "Sadly, not all hardware is created equal, and no matter how much developers might try, some gaming hardware just fails to hit the mark. We’ve compiled a list of 10 gaming hardware fails, and boy did some fail hard."
I would label the Power Glove, Kinect, and that Tony Hawk skateboard more as hardware addons hardware failure would be like the Virtual Boy and one day Stadia.
The picture should be the 360 RROD. When I think of gaming hardware failures that's what springs to mind. Kinect and it's bundled price tag definitely hobbled the already underpowered Xbox One though for sure so I would give it a close second place.
Lol I had the Atari Jaguar, surprised its "competition" the 3DO isn't on the list too, both as "popular" as each other.
Stadia is a weird one. It hasn’t sold at all well but in terms of how it works it’s still miles ahead of Xcloud in terms of stability and performance. Xcloud is still a way behind and that needs sorting but it will be in time. Stadia for me is one of those things that will go down as a what could have been moments. With better marketing it could have been a roaring success. I still play it and it remains the best place in my opinion to play CyberPunk 2077. Only platform I have played it on without having any issues at all. The tech is great. The concept is fine. Marketing terrible. Shame really.
The Xbox One was Microsoft’s Nintendo Wii U. Undercooked, undersold and just an unholy mess. The thing is with any of these failures is to learn from them and thankfully both Nintendo and Xbox did just that to the benefit of gamers everywhere.
Fun to do, as always.
We are such studs.
Can't disagree with this in the slightest. Never have cared about Call of Duty, and I never will.
Nice supplement on RB3. I wasn't quite grabbed by the LA Noire trailers as you guys, but the previews I've read today made me much more optimistic.
Its still fun to play with friends.
Like Wii bowling, you probably don't care about that game. But its still fun to play with your friends. And that is why it sells
