Microsoft Extinguishes Racing Wheel Fears

Back in August Microsoft announced that it was providing consumers with free retrofits to Xbox 360 racing wheels as a "precautionary measure" following some reports of malfunctioning peripherals.

More recently the company sent a message out over Xbox Live reiterating the potential safety issues associated with the product, leading to some speculation that the problem was more serious than first thought.

However, Microsoft has told Next-Gen that only a fraction of its Xbox 360 racing wheels carry any potential safety risks. The message sent out over Xbox Live was simply a way of reaching as wide an audience as possible and not indication of increasing concern relating to the safety of the product.

It seems like M$ products are piece of crap, when are you xbot going to realize and stop defending M$ about their faulty hardware

When there is an alternative system which brings me an equal or greater amount of fun. Wii and PS3 are not delivering on that for me.

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."

I agree, I consider the first one a cult classic already

isarai2d ago

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.

solideagle2d ago

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

Doesn’t Microsoft own the IP now since they acquired Activision?

DaReapa1d 23h ago

No. Square Enix owns the IP.

Abnor_Mal1d 21h ago

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 - PC Wore it Better

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.

Michiel19892d ago

there is a client made by modders and it also works online.

kevco332d ago

Indeed. The game can still be played online on PC.

Xbox 360 players, though? Bang outta luck.
