The 360 is a high-def capable piece of electronics, so even if the media on your PC is 720p or higher, you can stream it. If you take photos in high-res, for example, they can look fantastic on a high-def TV screen. High-def movies that you've downloaded or created on your own translate perfectly through the 360.
There are two ways to go about sharing media with your Xbox 360, and they depend on whether or not you wish to use Media Center. If you do, that's fine; otherwise, you can share media through the standard interface (which is simpler). The difference between the two methods is this: By sharing through Media Center, you can stream recorded TV through the 360. Otherwise, you can only share formats compatible with your Xbox 360.
Activision and Raven Software's 2006 action role-playing game, Marvel: Ultimate Alliance, has found its way to the Xbox Store.
Used to love this one, but X-Men Legends 1 and 2 will always be my favorites, especially Rise of Apocalypse. Would pay some good money to play it today with online multiplayer, back then I had no way to get a modem
I remember buying them dirt cheap on the PS4 and then a few days later I read they were delisted. I was wondering why the bundle was price so low and got my answer when that happened.
Sad to say this is one game franchise next to the Xmen that needs a sequel. I use to play the hell out of Xmen Legends and Marvel Ultimate Alliance. Was great when my cousin had the OG Xbox play with four other people and then playing online. Great games glad to see it reappear even though I own the discs love the mechanics of this game.
Misleading. This page is whats available for people who owned the game prior to delisting.
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.
With so many games fighting for players' attention and interest losing out over time, time sink games are at risk of eventually losing steam.
It was worrisome to begin with.
It's a niche genre with only a handful of hits that can stand the test of time.
I like the sound of that!! I will for sure never support these gaas games.
Sony must be shocked at gamer's reaction, making them cancel a few of these and hopefully go back to the good heavy hitters they had us used to..
now bring on that PSPro reveal and show us some SP 1st party awesomeness.
It's pretty ridiculous.
Imagine having a breadth of data at your disposal to see the statistically low success rate of these games, only to be laser focused on the exceptional case studies.
Only a few will catch on. You need a perfect storm to be successful in GaaS and a bit of luck on top of that. But a potential cash cow will keep them trying and some will go out of business because of it.
Helldivers 2 manages just fine…
Keep production costs low… don’t just make custscenes until the mechanics and enemies are perfected first.
Make so much content that you can drip extra content for years, and the game already feels complete without them.
Most importantly: make weapons, enemies, levels, and mechanics that will stand the test of 1000 hours. This might require more devs embracing procedurally generated leveled, which I think separates Helldivers 2 from Destiny’s repetitiveness.
What also is working great... When you don't want to stream from a PC that's on all the time:
Buy an external USB 2.0 HDD (a large one :P)
Get it formatted in HFS+ (mac format), use Macdrive 7.
You can download/put HD movies on the external USB 2.0 through your PC, hook it onto the 360 and play away.
No HD-DVD or BluRay player nescessary, no discs that can scratch. This is a way better format (streaming or external USB HDD) to use if you're a movie fanatic!
Formats:
Video Formats: WMV, H.264, MPEG-4, and PlaysForSure (for HD WMV)
Audio Formats: WMA, WMA Pro, WMA Loseless, MP3
Picture Formats: JPEG
It's rumored to get DivX support with the Fall Update
me i care about games tbh bu tnice to see 360 is capable of doing every thing and then some with the amazing games coing out this year and next year .
I used that for over a year, and suddenly it didn't work anymore. I deleted the program and wanted to download it again and it wasn't available anymore. I tried to install Zune but it wouldn't let me.
First, this article fails to mention that you can view, pause & record Live TV via 360 with the Windows Media Center functionality.
Secondly, what else is cool, is anytime you're watching RECorded video, Live TV or listening to music\viewing photos, you can still communicate (chat & voice) to people on your Friends List.
Now think about this; add on the fact that via Windows Media Center, you can d/l movies thru Vongo (and other apps) as well as d/l movies from XBL Marketplace and you've got yourself a media juggernaut!
Using the 360 as a media extender can be a pain if you use certain codecs. The 360 only supports a small number of codecs, and this meant I had the choice of converting all of my media to Microsoft friendly formats or use something like tvercity.
