Thanks to the pages of his blog, the "Major" Major
Nelson has announced that the backward compatibility program of Xbox One can
count on another 10 titles. The total number of Xbox 360 games that can be used
on the current generation consoles, the software giant takes the total to 120,
thanks to the addition to the excellent fighting game Soulcalibur meetings,
dell'interessantissima graphic adventure Sam & Max Save the World and
the unforgettable The Witcher 2: Assassin's of Kings.
We take this opportunity to remind you that the digital
titles within the catalog of compatible games will automatically be included in
the section Ready for installation of the Xbox One console. For disk games,
however, you must insert the original DVD and wait until the automatic
download.
The cause is related to the fact that the Xbox 360 had a
tendency to scratch the optical discs.
According to the plaintiffs Microsoft
was aware of the problem but did not take timely precautions. It was their
second of a design problem with that Redmond would not ensure the necessary
safeguards to prevent the effects of vibration. The small movements to which
they were subjected discs produced scratches, making the long unplayable those
titles.
The lawsuit was filed in 2012, claiming that the problem was
with 55 thousand users of the Xbox 360. But that same year a federal judge
rejected it claiming that he was not involved enough people to justify a class
action.
Much to the dismay of Microsoft, the decision was however
annulled by the Court of Appeals. Microsoft claims that it is not a design
flaw, but the scratches resulting from improper use of the console made by
users. According to Redmond, only 0.4% of Xbox 360 owners complain of this
problem.
The Supreme Court does not decide on the guilt or otherwise
of Microsoft, but will simply determine whether there are conditions for a
class action.
It is inevitable a bit of nostalgia when we begin to talk
about the legendary Ninja Turtles. Born in the now distant 1984, the Teenage
Mutant Ninja Turtles have been successful because they represent a perfect mix
of action and humor.
Crossed comics, tv (with the animated series), cinema
(animation films and the recent adaptation of Michael Bay) and also came into
our console.
Indeed, the elements for an inspired game are there:
memorable characters and fun, colorful graphics and action. What should ever go
wrong? In theory, no; in practice, after the first and after TMNT Turtles in
Time, very few of the Ninja Turtles games have managed to emerge from
mediocrity. Most of the developers have preferred to focus more sull'iconicità
the name of the game on care. Now, perhaps, things could change.
Heroes in a shell!
Activision has presented Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles:
Mutant in Manhattan, a third-person action game for release on Xbox 360, Xbox
One, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4 and PC in partnership with Nickelodeon and
developed by Platinum Games.
The Platinum are the real experts when it comes to making
action games adrenaline. There is talk, after all, the team that brought you
the excellent Bayonetta, other deserving action games like Metal Gear Rising
and The Wonderful 101, and also other good titles inspired by the animated
series The Legend of Korra and Transformers Devastation.
It is the latter examples
us hope towards the success of this game: the Platinum already have good
experience in the tie-in cartoon style industry, and we hope that it will be
the usual rule of "good things come in threes ". The story will be
curated by the current author of the comic of the same name IDW Comics, that
inspired even the graphic style, Tom Waltz.
It seems that want to represent
themselves adequately and with the right care turtles and their universe. In
short, the premise for a game seems to be taken care of all: if there is a
study that can succeed in the enterprise to represent worthily in a video game
Ninja Turtles, we are convinced that it is precisely that of Platinum Games.
