Project Spark Xbox One Beta Next Month
Screech replied to BeckoningZebra1's topic in General Discussion
I haven't really been following this game very closely but I kinda remember seeing stuff about around E3 and the announcement of XB1. I like to participate in betas for new games so I suppose signing up won't hurt!- 2 replies

Titanfall Hard to Market Due to Lack of Single-Player
Screech replied to VinWarrior's topic in General Discussion
Hmmmm, I don't have any exact statistics or anything but I'm fairly certain a majority of gamers are playing their games online nowadays... Obviously, there's still a good chunk of people out there who don't use XBL / PSN / whatever and just play single player games, but there aren't too many to my knowledge so I don't think this will really be a major hindrance to Titanfall's sales. -
Though Microsoft has said time and time again that all Xbox One consoles will be sold with the new Kinect, Fool.com seems to think a Kinect-less XB1 will be available for purchase sometime in the near future... November's sales numbers saw the Xbox One move approximately 910,000 units; an impressive figure, but also below what the PS4 posted by an as-of-yet unreported margin. In the UK, Sony's system moved 530,000 units in five weeks of sales, while the One managed about 364,000 units. The PS4 is said to be outselling the Xbox One in Spain by an approximate 3:1 margin. These trends will have to be reversed if Microsoft hopes to make good on its gaming investment in this cycle. Consider that the Xbox One will have very little presence in Japan and the picture of Sony establishing a substantial global sales lead starts to come together. Microsoft wants to have some manner of presence in Asian territories, which provides another reason for a Kinect-less Xbox One being released in 2014. Homes in Asian cities tend to be smaller and more compact, which means that a living room or TV-area often lacks the space for a Kinect to function. The six- to eight-foot distance that should separate players from the camera's sensor bar might not sound like a lot, but this actually appears prohibitive for a substantial number of Japanese gamers. If you've got an expensive piece of optional camera hardware that weighs down your console globally, you don't spend the time and resources necessary to further rework that hardware so that you can better sell it in your weakest territory. You just ditch it. Microsoft may have adamantly stated that Xbox One would never ship without Kinect, but plans to do just that are almost certainly under way. If the company intends to stick around in the console business, it knows it can't afford to leave the One's price problem unaddressed. By the end of 2014, you're going to be able to buy Xbox One hardware at a lower price in a box that weighs about one 3-D camera less. What do you guys think? Is it gonna happen? And if it does, do you plan on buying a Kinect-less Xbox One at the reduced price (however much that may be)? I already have an XB1 and I think the Kinect is an important part of the console.

Hmmm, sounds kinda like Coke Rewards.... If it's anything like that, you'll probably have to answer 2 million surveys before you can even think about buying a game out of the dollar bin! Hahaha, I'm not a Power Up rewards member any more but I'm interested so I guess I'll check it out...

I have a bad memory but I think my first Xbox game was either Crazy Taxi 3 or Halo 2... Can't remember which one. I know for a fact that my first 360 game was Burnout Paradise, though. I put in sooooo much time on that game.

From the Examiner's article: Chris Butcher has provided some details regarding the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of the cross-generation video game, “Destiny.” According to a report from World’s Factory on Jan. 7, the technical director at Bungie believed that the current-generation consoles still give the development plenty of “headroom,” adding that the engine has been their “most optimized” yet. As a result, both systems are being pushed to the limits. You can find his comment below: "The current generation of consoles, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, they have a lot of headroom still for us. We have the most optimized game engine we’ve ever produced for these consoles. We’re getting at the point now where we are wringing pretty much every ounce of juice out of the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3." Chris Butcher went on to disclose that the Bungie was surprised at abilities of the PS3 and Xbox 360 being able to display higher counts of individuals on screen. The development team is using the CPUs and SPUs of both systems to the full effect in an attempt to make the experience consistent on all platforms. You can find some “Destiny” screenshots in the slideshow to the left of this article and the comment below: "We’re running higher character counts and higher player counts than we thought would even be possible on these things because we’re using every ounce of the CPUs and the SPUs and we’re offloading stuff to the graphics processor. You’re basically eating the whole buffalo at this point in the current generation. And that’s been our target right from the start is to make sure that we can provide that game experience that is consistent for everybody." R.I.P. to all of the pre-slim Xbox 360's that are gonna overheat when they try to run Destiny. I'll be sitting pretty with my Xbox One

Psssh. Elites are sooooooooOOoOOooOOOOo 2012.

Maybe we should have a search setting that makes it so we only get put in games on maps included in the DLC?... Any playlist that isn't Slayer or Big Team seems to be getting the cold shoulder from most of the people on H4 so I don't know if a new DLC-only playlist would be the best idea.

Chainsaws? What is this, Gears of War?! Hahahaha
-
Eh, I don't know... I think I'd kinda feel like a sucker if they were to release future Halo games on multiple consoles... Halo 5 and 6 (and possibly H2: Anniversary) are the main reason I got an Xbox One over a PS4, after all.

Teabagging's okay when I'm the one doing it

Sounds like it's a new copy from the description he/she gave... They did a 'Holiday Bundle' for the new E model 360's that includes the console, a copy of Halo 4, and a digital download for the new Tomb Raider game: http://www.amazon.com/Xbox-360-250GB-Holiday-Value-Bundle/dp/B00FATRKOK

Installation 01: A New Front For Halo (Halo Indie Game)

Installation 01: A New Front For Halo (Halo Indie Game)
Screech replied to TheChunkierBean's topic in General Discussion
Awesome, awesome, awesome. I have absolutely no experience in coding and know nothing about what goes into making a video game so I think what you're doing is amazing! Can't wait to see future video updates and eventually attempt to play the game on my crappy PC -
Wow, I haven't run into anything like this in Halo 4! I don't think I've seen a single person cheating... maybe I've just been extremely lucky so far?...
-
No way in hell this will ever happen. Xbox One players can't even be in the same party as their friends on the 360 so it's highly doubtful that Microsoft will even consider allowing us to play games with / against people on non-MS consoles.

Wow. That's pretty bad ass looking! It may be a bit OP though, don't you think?... I mean, normal shotgun's like a 1 to 2 shot kill - with the addition of the explosion that happens after the needle penetrates the enemy I'm thinking this might be a 1 shot kill 100% of the time... I'm no expert though, that's just my assumption.

I'm guessing the game's not gonna look nearly as good as it does in these pics on the 360. I don't know too much about the PS3 but what I've always heard is that the graphics on it are better so it's possible that it may look somewhat better than the 360 on there... My guess is that this is what Destiny will look like on next gen consoles and PC (Is it getting a PC release? I don't know...). Can't wait to pop this sucker in my Xbox One and play until my eyes are bloodshot!

I would but I'm too busy with all this college nonsense Maybe someday... *sigh*

I'd also like to make a formal request for some type of community event on Halo: Custom Edition or Halo 2 for Vista... Is there any possibility of that happening?

What are some games you would buy day 1?
Screech replied to BrandNewClassic's topic in General Discussion
I'd buy a new Burnout game in a heartbeat if it was anything like Burnout: Paradise! I used to play that game every day for hours on end until they started crapping on us with all of that overpriced DLC.
