According to Digitimes, Lite-On IT has received larger than normal orders from Microsoft for its internal DVD ROM drives which are Xbox 360 bound. With the strong performance of Halo 3 and the expected insanely busy Christmas period, the timing for larger orders couldn't be better on Microsoft's behalf.
Plenty of unforgettable games have completely messed up their players throughout the years, all the way back from the PS1 days to the dark recesses of the modern internet.
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.
how is this news, This would follow under common sense yeah? Busy Holiday season, Systems selling, Naturally they will need a bigger order of a component of said system. Not news, just common sense.
now if the HD-DVD drives were ordered in bulk, like say at the dvd drive order level, and the Dvd drive was cut in half or 75%, to imply a change. that might be news. this, this is just common sense.
Yes, first I thought it was HD DVD drive.
liteon=one of the best drive makers around.
...the increase in orders could be a result of more RRoD's from excessive Halo 3 playing.
Increased orders from the Xbox 360 DVD drive? Who the hell cares?? In other news there are increased orders from the Xbox 360 power brick...LOL!!
