Examiner - "Several weeks ago I conducted a research study which consisted of polling forum users on various gaming-related message boards in an effort to find out how popular the Xbox LIVE Arcade is. Curious at how this number compared to the PlayStation Network, I repeated the survey on the same forums but this time asked how many PSN Games users owned."
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.
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?
Microsoft never could maintain a longrunning decent 3D platformers series of their own
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!”.
Its the systems they're on.
/End subject.
XBL is more popular then PSN in the media but in the reality the quality of both networks is the same damn thing.
Only thing that separates the 2 services is the following reasons.
PSN is free.
(XBL you pay $60/year.)
PSN has dedicated servers.
(XBL does not have dedicated servers.)
XBL has cross game chat/party chat.
(PSN does not have these features.)
PSN has a more diverse game line up between 1st party, indie, and 3rd party developers.
(XBL well their limited. Still the Indie Community Feature is a nice touch.)
PSN/Steam both have Cloud Storage now for games.
Portal 2 says hi.
Also PS Plus users are getting this feature too.
(XBL does not have this feature.)
PSN/Steam both have automatic updates/patches/cross platform play.
Portal 2 says hi.
(XBL does not have these features.)
If XBL is so much better then explain to me why both PSN/Steam which are free online services have these features but XBL a paid service does not.
(I'll be waiting for a response. Waiting for someone to counter me if you can.)
:D
I know the fanboys will hate on what I'm saying but I don't care.
(I've experienced both services and have made up my mind which one I like better.)
None because one is just a popular as the other. 'nuff said.
And of course this got approved...
Here we go again..
