The recent news of a new Nintendo system that is more powerful than the PS3 and 360 is an industry changer, but not in a good way.
Ross Scott—also known as Accursed Farms on YouTube—has been fighting tooth and nail for almost a full year to help spearhead game preservation. Starting after it was announced that Ubisoft's The Crew would be shutting down, permanently ending support for the game, Scott launched the "Stop Killing Games" initiative.
That makes a twofold deadline for the Stop Killing Games initiative. Or, at least, one headed up by Scott: The UK petition, which ends July 14, and the EU Citizens' Initiative, which ends July 3.
If you live in the EU then Please sign this or our game ownership rights and game preservation is
at stake. I know there isnt much time left but please consider signing the petition
People whine and in the end don't do a thing. Then whine more when they get screwed some more smh. If this makes it then it'll be monumental for consumers. That Pirate software guy was no help either smh.
From the mid-1980s to the early part of the 2000s, light gun rail shooters were a staple in both arcade and home system gaming. Arguably, the genre started to really hit its stride in the mid-1990s. While games like Time Crisis, Virtual Cop, and House of the Dead, among others, dominated both the home system and arcade space, some one relegated to only home game systems. Today, we’ll be talking about a little-known cult game published by Sony called Project: Horned Owl. This game was developed by Alfa Systems, and all in all, this is a fun game.
There are many exciting updates this month for Xbox. Copilot for Gaming is available now for early preview on mobile and will be coming to PC soon. Xbox PC app introduces a wave of new updates: Aggregated gaming library gives players quick access to games from Xbox, Game Pass, and other leading PC storefronts, and with publisher channels players can browse their favorite franchises. Updates for the Xbox Console includes customization for Most Recently Used, free-to-play benefits, Game Hubs, and dialog improvements for game saves.
"Players can now hide system apps, pin favorites to the list, and reduce the number of tiles displayed. This update is part of our ongoing effort to make Home more personal, flexible, and responsive to feedback."
This is welcomed, i like a less cluttered home screen.
Gotta be a slow news day when a 18 hours and 3 comments (now 4)makes it to the front page🤷🏿

Well anything that adds and help gamers is a good thing even if some don’t need it there’ll be more that will use it.
Well its MS news... those are usually pretty dry, unless it has something to do with another game being ported to PS. then its top of the pops.

Oh look no further than the "Upcoming layoffs at MS" topic. It will easily top the Hottest of the week.
Special guests like Mr. Dead might also show up. You just watch.
All leaks point to a late 2012 release which is still a LONG ways off plus the leaked specs put it on par with the 360 (maybe a tad better) so I doubt MS/Sony will rush to get a new console out.
what I can't understand is how some of you couldn't see this coming. Every 5 years Nintendo announces/brings out a new console. Sony released PS3 6 years after ps2 regardless of 10 year plan. MS...lol...this is already the longest the've ever gone.
Am I the only one who feels like this gen never really started? That it was nothing more then a semi-stagnant pause for what will hopefully be a more substantive console cycle. One genuinely focused on gaming, not just only online graphics and FPS.
Feels like it. With all the ps4 rumors and DICE's ramblings it's hard not to feel that the new generation would start soon. But it still feels too soon. For goodness sakes FFv13 still hasnt released and it was announced before ps3 even launched. I expect Sony MS and (especially) Nintendo might reveal something new early next year. E3 is way too soon.
It all depends on if Nintendo can strike gold again, by introducing something new to the masses. The Wii dominated sales wise this generation because of the motion gaming aspect, if the Wii2 is just better graphics with the Wii+ controller, I don't think it will force Sony or MS to react. Nintendo's target audience now is almost strictly the casual gamer, and they already have a Wii that they can waggle with. Will better graphics really get them to buy a new system?
As for the "hardcore", many were already burnt on the Wii's paltry third party offerings and weak online play. Unless Nintendo can improve upon those two aspects, I think most gamers will be happy waiting for the next gen systems from Sony and MS.
Having better graphics right now is probably more of a curse than a blessing anyway. All you hear is developers talking about how expensive it is to make games on the PS3 and 360 and how long it takes. Do you really think they want to tackle new tech right now?
