@Utena-mobile I have no idea, but something like this would be perfect for me. I'd love to tinker around with it, but I'd never release anything unless I was actually serious about it. But if it's that easy, quality control does come into question. How the store will sort through it if it doesn't filter it out is beyond me.
@Gamer83 That's all I really need though. Given my PC I can wait on getting the One for a while, so the more last gen ports the better for me, especially if the game in question skips PC. That is, of course, assuming that they don't cripple the next gen version for the sake of a last gen port.
@HEADESTROYER4 Efficiencies of scale...I almost forgot about that. While years down the road that will no longer hold true, that's the case for the time being. We had the 360 for so long I almost forgot it is no longer possible to build a better PC at about the same price as a home console. Regardless, I always get a Halo box every generation. Occasionally a Zelda box too. And it's been a while since I got a Naughty Box. Then there's the Ouya, also known as a Nothing Box.
Yeah, I expect the numbered Halo entries and the occasional exclusive to skip Windows. Still, my jokes about the Xbox being the Halo box couldn't be any more true now that Fable and whatnot are on PC now.
Finals are tomorrow, so after the finals (it starts after my Japanese one, which should be a piece of cake for me). I may be able to watch at 10. Hopefully I see some good news when I come back on Pure Xbox.
I gotta say, AC Unity shoulda got best beta of the year. You know, a nice jab at Ubisoft for rushing what would've been great if it had it not been so incomplete.
@Sir_JBizzle Yes, I just want to see some glorious 1079p 59p FPS games just to poke fun at how picky some gamers have become. The reactions would be hilarious.
@Gamer83 That is what backlogs were meant for. I know that's what I've been working on, and it saves me money as well. It might be your only option at this point besides GOTY Edition. I don't mind the occasional patch, but look at today's games and GOTY is that much more tempting. Overpriced DLC is included, game actually works when you get it, very few patches, essentially how things should've been.
Well, as much as I hate claiming preexisting IPs as console exclusives, given Street Fighter V, the bar has been lowered. If MS wants to go all out exclusive on this one (minus PC master race) I guess that's fine. Now all Nintendo needs to do is make a game in 1079p 59 FPS and this console war crap can be settled. I've never heard of a generation where console wars were fought by pretending a console was a gaming PC or something.
Looks good. Some will always have a beef with Adam Orth over his DRM comments on the One back in 2013, but I'm willing to forgive the guy if he's changed. The fact that this game lacks DRM is saying something.
Another reason I like Phil Spencer. They may never do well there but to have footing is necessary to court JRPG devs. Hopefully they achieve Wii U-level cult status there so they can get some games on the One.
Great read. I saw guys insinuating that Game Informer was paid to withold their review when in fact an embargo was enforced. This is very informative and shows what's wrong with the industry without any biased sources making up claims to fuel their agendas based off of cynicism. The transparency is much appreciated. After seeing how high the minimum tech specs for Unity are I couldn't play it if I wanted to and I certainly don't now. Not even after a patch is released. Dirty practices will be rewarded with lack of consumer loyalty; the opposite will be the reciprocal of course, so no beef with you guys. Another reason to keep reading Pure Xbox.
I like how there's two copies of Smash Bros. Anyways, I need to save up for Smash Bros and my band trip, and I'll prank my friend on my Minecraft server as well as play some Halo 4 this weekend. The soundtrack is so damn good, and Xbox Live Gold is free from the 10th to the 13th!
Smash, trying out the Windows 10 Tech Preview (it'll be dual booted of course, not betting my stuff on it yet), learning more Hiragana, maybe some Ruby, and cleaning up my room. If I can I may fit a bit of 360 in my weekend as well.
@Gamer83 Yep. This'll be contender for funniest game of the year. Maybe it'll be so bad it's good. That 50 Cent game is like that if I remember correctly. A cheesy cash-in on the media.
I'll probably get this, but the fact that this is skipping the 3DS after Nintendo announced the new 3DS with more processing power and a 2nd stick for these kinds of games, I'm annoyed. If they have any surveys asking why I'm not interested in any DLC, I'll be sure to say "skipped the new 3DS, I bought Revelations at launch" assuming this isn't pushing the 360 to its absolute limits.
This site's gotten so much larger than how it was when it started, good to see. The forums are a bit desolate though. Almost enough for a horror game setting.
I'd get this on my 360, though if they had a 3DS version that would be preferable. Regardless this seems like a game that will live up to the RE name for once.
While crude, as long as it doesn't go the route of "free" to play games I'm happy. I don't even own a next gen console anyways, though my PC can probably run it on low or medium settings.
White consoles, black handhelds and controllers. The former is dust proof and the ones we touch too much to collect dust are then saved from our fingerprints.
@hydeks Now some people have been acting like that but before you get hypocritical, Playstation owners supported Tomb Raider more than Xbox gamers did if the sales are any indicator. Now, some do act over entitled, but do consider what I'm trying to say. I'm not that mad over this, but I can guarantee you that this was crude. Sure, their competitors have done the same, Nintendo with Resident Evil Revelations, Sony with Grand Theft Auto, you name it, but it's still a low blow no matter how you look at it.
Well that might explain why I've needed to keep clearing the system cache every time I wanted to play GTA V lately. It certainly explains these connection issues as of late.
I was like, wait, there's another Monster Hunter for the next gen consoles? It's Evolve, the game from the guys who created Left 4 Dead. That makes a lot more sense now. Well it looks good.
Looks great. Nice to see Microsoft is starting to get their crap together. This looks like a lot of fun. Also nice to also see a shift in Xbox One philosophy: a game console that does media, not a media console that does games. This with the Master Chief collection are looking up to make the Xbox One into something people will want to get, especially now that buying Kinect is optional.
While I like the 360 Kinect and apparently the new one's better, I'd rather skip it next gen. This is huge to me. $100 is not worth voice commands. I can see $60, but not $100. As for the limb tracking, I could care less even if it is better this time around. This makes the One viable to me. I didn't expect them to drop it so soon.

Re: Assassin's Creed: Black Flag Now Available For A Super-Low Price
I do wonder how they managed to offer it at such a low price.
Re: Your Xbox One Controller Is About To Start Powering Up Quicker
That sounds nice. I'd figure the process would be faster, I'm surprised they didn't slim it down sooner.

Re: Microsoft Announces $50 Xbox One Price Cut in US
Well I got a splitter for my TV (plug it in the port with multiple ports and a switch for them all) so that might be useful.
Re: Microsoft's New Game Content Usage Rules Baffle Creators
Well, I guess acronyms will take over YouTube come time.
Re: Microsoft's Windows 10 Event Could Be More Tied to Xbox Than You Think
Well, this could be big. Let's hope MS redeems Windows the way they did Xbox.
Re: New Halo: Master Chief Collection Patch Brings Spartan Ops to Halo 4
And this is why publishers shouldn't rush games. At least it's 4 games for $60, can't say that for any of the other rushed releases out there.

Re: Leaked Windows 10 Screenshots Show New Xbox Integration
Sweet, this is great. Not what I'd hoped for (cross-platform play for certain games, shooters obviously don't apply), but this will do.
Re: New Just Cause 3 Screenshots Released
Nice, wonder how long it'll be before Just Cause 3 gets its Multiplayer mod.

I may get this sometime later, but for now the original P4A on my 360 will have to do.
Re: New Grand Theft Auto V Easter Egg Allows for Animal Transformations
This is a great idea. I wonder if they got the idea from Goat Simulator. Wherever they got it, it's a great addition.
