They don't have the permission to distribute Halo Online. Feel free to pass around open source code, which the mod itself is, but Halo Online is a core component in getting this to work. You might as well link to emulators and bundle them with ROMs.

Halo 3 is still playable on the 360, through backwards compatibility on Xbox One, and available as part of the Master Chief Collection on Xbox One. There are legit options out there, as well as Halo 5 Forge Edition for PC. Then there's piracy, which this clearly is.

Doubt it. This exact same article can be found word for word around on some other gaming sites. The same applies to the other recent "press release"-articles. What's strange is that the Skyrim VR announcement doesn't look like the official press release by Bethesda, but looks to be copied from...

So, most of the Microsoft "issues" are mistakes done in the past and then corrected or improved in the current generation? This list should be titled "Who WAS the most anti-consumer", because none of these points are relevant anymore.

Yeah, it mostly boils down to legal and licensing issues. At this point the 360 emulation is pretty good with most games, and original Xbox games whould be a no brainer given the technical side of x86 and such. Most previous-gen Xbox titles have probably been published with a license that...

It's not the content or the quality of it that is a problem. It just shouldn't be labelled under "News", that's all. I appreciate the work people put in to provide a bit of entertainment on a website that is sinking, and any news is better than no news, but this deserves it's own category. It...

I'm kind of late to the Halo 3 nostalgia train. Since I never owned a console, all I could ever experience was Halo CE on PC many years ago, I never got around to playing Halo 2 on Vista either, since I figured I'd always miss out on the conclusion with Halo 3. But two eyars ago, I ended up...

"4K assets" is a reasonable thing though. With higher display resolutions you're also gonna need higher res textures that still look crisp, or do you still play with 64x64 textures on your 1080 screen?

So, the only "legit" complain people have is the name?

Something worth noting, Prey doesn't use the same engine as Dishonored 2. Dishonored 2 uses The Void engine, which is roughly based on id Tech 5, Prey however is running on whatever version of CryEngine that's current. Another thing: Although they share name and collaborate on both projects...

Because it's AI controlled? Specifically programming a shooting and aiming routine isn't the goal, rather than letting it figure it out itself. With machine learning, we can basically set a goal of "get hits closest to bulls eye", and let the machine figure out the rest via trial and error...

Obviously, Prey, Dawn of War 3 and ME: Shadow of War haven't been able to meet the critical success of released titles. So they must be doomed before they're even out... or something, it's anyway the only reason something can ever be on sale.

Yeah no, I'm gonna have to say "Too soon". Say what you want about keeping copies, having your 10 year old console break down or convenience. The Switch hasn't been out for a month yet, and all you'd ever need this for at the moment is 99% piracy. Call me in a few years when the Switch or it's...

As someone of Bolivian heritage, I'm conflicted on this. The landscapes and setting is in many ways beautiful and brings together some of the best of what I've experienced from Bolivia. However, much of the "characters", the language, politics and pretty much anything that isn't a landscape...
