Oh, what?! I never knew that 2.5D remake for the Xbox 360 even existed! It looks pretty awesome, actually.

Wonder if I can still find it somewhere...

Thanks Ant

online PC gaming is slightly more mature than xbox. I tried a few times to play xbox 360 online, each match devolved into the same pre-teen squealing in my ear. Cancelled xbox Live Gold as soon as Netflix app was on PS3. Never looked back.

I feel bad for all you dirty console peasants, especially since your new machines can't even run games in 1080p!

Meanwhile, I shall be over here with my oculus and my 120hz 1440p monitor with the Best Damn Control System Ever: the awesome keyboard/mouse/xbox-360-xcontroller-when-I-need-it combo.

Also, if you really must be a dirty console peasant, here is a simple guide:
the ps4 has better hardware, the xbone has a better controller.

MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAA!

Or at least I will be until my wife finds out how I spent on new PC hardware....

Because the Xbox 360 deal was pretty tolerable for it's time. Except for their ridiculous $50 annual fee to play peer-to-peer games online. . . Oh wait, Sony's doing that too now. Sony's just lucky that their dick move was completely overshadowed by Microsoft's incomparable dickery.

The new Kinect has significant upgrades from the Kinect Accessory that's out now (for Xbox 360). This wiki page has a good overview: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinect#Kinect_on_the_Xbox_One

This video uses both (new one for the always-on controversy) and old one for the beer-robot. Which is OK, cause it's a comedy piece.

The first Kinect could do facial detection to login to a xbox live account, but it requires good lighting, and isn't very fast (for me, it could never get past calibration, so I don't use that feature- games work fine without it). The new one is supposed to do this (login) better, but also detects facial expressions in real time, like if the player is smiling.

Echoing the need for the change to "Lewis". That made me double-take as well.

Aside from that, did they say it was the Xbox 360 Kinect that could do facial detection? Because I know that is an intended feature for the XboxOne.

I prefer FPS on the PC - using a joystick is just frustrating. But then again I couldn't imagine playing Little Big Planet on a PC. (although the Xbox 360 controller works great for many PC games, and it's nice that Steam is trying a joystick-friendly interface for big-tv-attached-PC-gaming.)

The thing I really hate is that both Xbox 360 and PS3 support USB keyboards and mice. It's completely up to the developers to include that in their game or not. I got a reply once from the makers of Resistance, and the reason they said they didn't include it was because it would make it unfair for multiplayer... well how about Single Player? or have a server setting that would allow/disallow keyboard+mouse?

Xbox 360?!?!?!?! Lucky, spoiled kiddies!

Caveat: 99% of any features or apps on the Xbox 360 requires Xbox Live Gold. That means you pay even more out of yer pocket to use those things.

Is there anything useful for the Xbox Live Silver/free users? Yes, that tiny 1% that MS gives you. Everything else requires Live Gold. IE requires Gold. YouTube requires Gold. ESPN requires Gold (although reasonable given the app design). DailyMotion requires Gold. Netflix requires Gold.

There is a major imbalance in how Silver is designed when compared to Gold. There's no "app" that you can use. All you're left is playing music/movies from the Xbox itself or streamed from the network.

Smartglass? Nice idea. But shitty if none of the Xbox apps work w/o a Live Gold subscription. Xbox Live isn't simply a service where there is free and paid. It's all about paying to use Xbox Live despite having a free model.

Tribes Ascend on Xbox 360, haha. Nope.

I haven't played a console since SNES. What I liked about them then was that they always worked and never ever crashed. PCs still crash. Do consoles crash now? If not, that would be a significant advantage they have over PCs.


I haven't had owned a video game console since Atari 2600. I did borrow a Turbo Graphx 16 for about a week at my grand(ma/mother)'s house. I am more of a computer gamer with Texas Instrument (TI) 99/4A, Apple //c, IBM PCs, etc. Yes, computers crash a lot except for Apple //c and TI 99/4A since they were mostly the same like video game consoles.
