Nice excuse. What they probably did was fix the kernel for jtags to not go online again, as someone on XboxElement found how to stay online on jtags without getting banned.

EVO-OM3GA5262d ago

They would still get banned when the next ban wave comes, only thing that prevents certain people from being banned is updating there firmware before MS detects then, but once your tagged its likely that you will be banned soon.

Plus I reckon its just to add abit more security as when that update came out for kinect and all that MS installed a software that detected copied games and fable copied wouldnt play, along with several other new titles, but a firmware fixed that lol

NewZealander5262d ago

as long as it doesn't kill my xbox im happy, already lost my ps3 today, have to be without it for four weeks so my 360 better keep chugging along.

lugia 40005262d ago (Edited 5262d ago )

New ap checks. Ban is coming up.

IHateYouFanboys5262d ago

Not sure why they're saying it re-enables boot-to-disk.....the option hadn't left my 360 since it was first made an option years ago. It's there right now in front of me in system options. Maybe the 360s doesn't have it?

antz11045262d ago

Too true, I remember looking at that option last week b/c I haven't touched the dashboard.

darthv725262d ago

so they finally fixed it. Also why would you want to boot to the game in the tray when you turn the unit on. You should never leave a disc inside in the first place.

Hello...scratched discs!!! (not in every case but still).

They also changed the look of the gamercards. I think that is all just a coverup....

livinwitbias5261d ago (Edited 5261d ago )

OMG Microsoft is making Kinect looking into your house!
OMG Microsoft is hidding something.
OMG Microsoft is BAD!

You frickin conspiracy theorist are simply Psyco.

Besides, it's their network and system, they can update it whenever they want. Get over yourselves.

Corepred45261d ago (Edited 5261d ago )

what the hell is this ^^^ twlnk talking about?

LunaticBrandon5261d ago

@darthv72

If you leave a game in your console for several days playing only that game how is leaving it in there any worse than handling the disc at least twice a day?

FailOverHero5262d ago

What a lame update. Better not be more than 5 mb if thats all thats gonna change

Active Reload5262d ago

You 360 users, sure are spoiled when it comes to you're updates ;)

ChristianGamer5262d ago

Well no firmware bricking consoles here if thats what you mean

Rainstorm815262d ago (Edited 5262d ago )

christian gamer

Hmm where does that happen?

Ive DL'ed numerous updates for both my 360 and PS3 and never had one bricked.....

OH! You're just talking out of your azz, my bad please continue........whoops no bubs!

N4G mods YOU NEED TO RECREATE THE OPEN ZONE!!!!!!

FailOverHero5262d ago

Rain, dude. Why so. . .serious? We all know what cONSole is known for bricking firmware, no need to get testY

Rainstorm815262d ago (Edited 5262d ago )

Its all BS like Kinect causing RRoD 360, or Sony is to blame for COD faults, or the NXE or Kinect updates bricking 360's, or PS3 or 360 has no games or any of the fanboy propoganda take your pick.

It gets old after awhile.....and since firmware has never bricked a console i owned or anyone else consoles i know........I chalk it up to another Video Gaming fanboy Myth.

People always say this is a PS3 site yet i see the same amount of Rabid fanatical "Loyalists" on both sides.... nothing to be angry or Testy about, It's sad really.

@witwolfy
Really?...Oh because the story was about a 360 update not CFW.....I didn't think it was that obvious nor do i read minds across the interwebs. Besides christiangamer trolls on and on as i said it gets old.

WitWolfy5262d ago

Rain his obviously talking about the PS3 CFW you freaking fanboy. God your thick!

Kurt Russell5261d ago (Edited 5261d ago )

@Raiinstorm81

I know you think you're being clever by pointing out that ChristianGamer is a troll as he has no bubbles... But lets face it you're clearly trolling right now. For all we know he has lost his bubbles for doing something rude like calling your mum a **n*, so lets not go pointing fingers just yet shall we? After all it takes one to know one right?

DelbertGrady5261d ago (Edited 5261d ago )

Instead of having to go through meaningless firmware updates every week that take forever to download and install us 360 owners get quick updates that actually add stuff. Really sucks ;)

bilalhassan5262d ago

just updated and guess what!
for some reason i can no longer play call of duty black ops. it appears on the dashboard with the "play game" written on it and i have it installed on my hard drive and have been playing the day it came out. when i play it the console freezes with a black screen and the eject button and guide button dont work.

p.s. assassins creed brotherhood still works

mikeh09185262d ago

If thats true then they did you a favor.

KaBaW5262d ago (Edited 5262d ago )

Is Assassins Creed installed, as well?
Might hafta do a re-install. Sucks, man.
My Call of Duty still works, just finee.

Maybe clean out your system cache, iduno.

tudors5262d ago

@bilalhassan was black ops installed before the update? if so just reinstall it.

bilalhassan5262d ago

yeh assassins creed was installed before just like black ops

i tried installing black ops again but same problem. i deleted my cache but it still doesn't work.

i also deleted the game of the hard drive and attempted to play the game on the disc but no luck.

i fink i shud go bak to playing bad company 2

Kurt Russell5261d ago

Damn right you should be back on Battelfield... What the hell were you thinking when you strayed? You should be ashamed of yourself!

Now get back into the real fight and the HELL off this site!

rpgenius4205261d ago

Hahahaha is your black ops a real copy or a backup? The new update added AP2.5 checks to black ops, halo reach and modern warfare 2. You have to wait for the AP2.5 patches for those games and then re burn and they will work. Give it a day or 2!

teething5261d ago

Ha... Zing.... Ms got you! The banhammer might just brick your 360 ;)

The Evil Within Deserved More: A Great Horror Series Left Behind

The Outerhaven writes: While I hold Bethesda's The Evil Within series as some of the best Survival Horror games available, it's clear that Bethesda has no intention of revisiting the series. While Capcom is still working on its Resident Evil series, I look back at the now-dead survival horror series from Bethesda, wondering why the series was left wide open, and yet still not revisited.

An OK horror series left behind. It had some great ideas, but it never knew how to play to its strengths. Instead, it came out like just another RE4 clone.

I would love for a third entry to come out, but it needs to learn to lean in on the psychological aspect and move away from the generic "pew pew" ideology at the center of the gameplay loop. It doesn't need to abandon it; it just needs to put it into better context, is all.

Also, try a first-person perspective instead. Too many 3rd-person games with nothing to offer but an avatar taking precious screen space. At least make it an actual option and not that janky-ass mess the second game pretended to have.

Venoxn4g5h ago

Love both games, hope that we will get third game

PS5/Pro/Switch 2 version of RDR2 seems most likely. I’d love a RDR3 but that seems years away

Cacabunga15h ago

Id be happy for just a 60fps patch

OmegaSoldati14h ago(Edited 14h ago)

Agreed, but at the same time RD2 came out in 2018. Could it be a remake of Red Dead 1?

Spoiler:

Marston died in the end of Red Dead and Red Dead 2 is set before that. Im curious now. What news could it be?

mkis0077h ago

I'm pretty sure the next game will be another prequel as the story really has no where to go as far as being a western after red dead redemption. The next game will end with the ferry boat incident.

Profchaos16h ago(Edited 16h ago)

Their contracts are iron clas if they leak anything legit they are threatened with immense legal action.

My hopes for what this is are minimal its probably a meet and greet with the cast

I dont see why they would be involved in a upgraded version of rdr2 when the dialogue hasn't changed

thorstein13h ago

He seems to have been cleared to do this as he purposely picked up the game, streamed it, and made the announcement.

XBLA Classic 'A World of Keflings' Is Coming to Steam, and There's a Demo

"Back in the innocent days of 2010, A World of Keflings was a fairly popular successor to A Kingdom for Keflings. I even wrote about it a few times in 2012! But the world of humans moved on, and NinjaBee's city-building/adventure game was last seen on the ill-fated Wii U in 2014. Fast-forward to the dark year of 2025, and not only is A World of Keflings coming to Steam, but there's already a playable demo! Perhaps the cheerful, no pressure gameplay that the Keflings bring is just what we need nowadays," says Co-Optimus.
