Logic-Sunrise : actualités, téléchargements, releases, dossiers et tutoriaux

Beaucoup d'entres-nous le savent maintenant, l'update du dashboard n'enraye en rien les firmware de lecteurs dvd modifiés. Une bonne nouvelle donc, mais en regardant avec du recul, ça va faire 2 ans que les mises à jours de Microsoft n'ont jamais rien fait pour les petit lecteurs flashés. Il y a peu de chances que ça évolue

C'est après une baisse aux états-unis de 20$ cet été que nous apprenons une nouvelle baisse de prix ! pour un total donc de 129$ (environ 88€) le lecteur est à vous ! Voilà qui tombe pile poil pour un Christmas en haute def'

Jack, membre de notre forum vient de récupérer la release proposer par CotR pour mettre à jour le dashboard de notre chère XBOX360.

Ca va faire plaisir aux personnes qui n'ont plus de LIVE

X360 MAJ DASHBOARD du 04/12/2007

Les possesseurs d’écrans larges vont enfin pouvoir retrouver le sommeil.

Car parmi d’autres choses, le patch sorti aujourd’hui pour BioShock remédie enfin au très angoissant problème d’affichage tronqué, comme l’indique ces images réalisée par Videogamer.

Sinon le fond de l’air est frais, mais n'oublions pas que nous sommes en décembre quand même.

Une petit coucou à Cédric1127 qui m'a filé le lien de la vidéo. Pour être clair, le gamin assure ! bon, je vais peut-être arrêter de newser, et m'entrainer un coup à Guitar Hero pour le rattrapper bon zou, vidéo !

Salut tout le monde, et oui on doit être dans les seuls à le savoir officiellement, mais Assassin's Creed 2 est en début de développement. Un ami étant embauché depuis peu chez Ubisoft Montreal dans le design des niveaux, ma informé que son premier projet était Assassin's Creed 2 sur Xbox360, pas d'infos sur la version PS3.
Cependant , vous vous en doutez, aucune annonce vraiment officielle n'a été faite pour l'instant, mais croyez bien que cette annonce est des plus sérieuses. Attendons nous à le voir donc débarquer fin 2008, début 2009. On vous en reparle dès que nous aurons plus d'infos.

Effectivement, je viens tout juste de finir mon appel téléphonique avec le S.A.V. Microsoft .
Après bataille, il est convenu que les consoles bannies ne sont strictement pas prises en charge. Cependant, même lorsqu'elles sont bannies elles peuvent passer en garantie mais cela, uniquement pour les soucis matériels ( rod ou autre ) et ça coûte 0 euros ! Voilà juste pour info !

Dans une interview accordée par Peter Molyneux  sur la sortie de Fable 2, voici ce  que ce dernier a répondu à la question "quand votre jeu va t il sortir?"

"Fin 2008. Peut être quand les feuilles auront tourné au brun, mais toujours accrochée à leur branche, si vous voyez ce que je veux dire"

A vous de decrypter

Avec entre autre :

Les jeux xbox 1 téléchargeables. Dès la mise en place du service, quelques jeux seront déjà dispo sur le marketplace pour une poignée d'Euros.

La liste d'amis visible par les autres utilisateurs : Comme annoncé, la liste des amis sera visible par d'autres amis, sous réserve bien sur que vous ayez accepter cette fonction.

Gestion des clans : Une fois de plus, cette option permettra de gérer vos clans directement depuis le dashboard, sans avoir à vous en occuper au sein du jeu.

Prise en charge du format XVID : Les vidéos au format Xvix sont enfin visionnables. toutefois, quelques contraintes : vidéos encodées uniquement en MPEG-4 Part 2 ASP (advanced simple profile) and SP (simple profile) en .AVI seulement.

Lancée par Primotech et reprise par cet article de Destructoïd, voici une affaire pathétique, si confirmée.

Ainsi, il semble qu'un journaliste de Gamespot ait été viré après avoir attribué une note jugée insuffisante à Kane & Lynch. Insuffisante aux yeux d'Eidos, qui a dépensé son pesant de lingots en publicité pour promouvoir le titre sur le site. C'est ce qu'on appelle de l'énergie cinétique : quand ça pousse d'un côté, il faut bien que ça sorte de l'autre.

Le 6 récolté aurait donc coûté son poste à Jeff Gerstmann, dont voici le test filmé.


Difficile de savoir où se trouve exactement la vérité, mais toujours est-il qu'un second journaliste a quitté précipitamment Gamespot dans la foulée, tendant à confirmer un problème de fond.

Pas sûr dans ces conditions que Jeff soit honoré aux prochains Games Media Awards, une bien belle cérémonie où Gamespot a remporté le titre de meilleur site web pour ses Podcasts.

Pour ma part, malheureusement, je sais que ce genre de choses (pression, menaces, corruption, etc.) existe et a existé : le milieu de la presse spécialisée – jeux vidéo ou autre – est petit, tout le monde se connaît et derrière les discours de facade… tout se sait.

Microsoft annonce fièrement que 13,4 millions de xbox 360 circulent sur la planète depuis son lancement en novembre 2005:

US => 7 000 000
Japon => 450 000
Reste du monde => 6 000 000
 Avec un catalogue de 300 jeux, dont des exclusivités comme Halo 3 ou Eternal Sonata, et une moyenne de 6,3 jeux* par console, elle s'est désormais fait  une place de choix auprès des éditeurs. 
Les hits comme Call of Duty 4, Assasin's Creed, Guitar Hero III , Halo 3, et un prix promo jusqu'a Noël devrait lui permettre de tout déchirer pour les fêtes.

Petite parenthèse parmis cette annonce fort triomphante:
33% de 13,4 millions, ça nous fait pas loin de 4,4 millions de retours SAV, notamment victimes du tenace et fameux ROD... doit y avoir des sacrés coûts là dessous... voilà des chiffres qui seraient interessants...*Jeu "légalement" obtenu... 0=) Je vous entends déjà... ;-)

Vous connaissez cette sorte de fatalité professionnelle qui fait que, la seule fois où l'on saute une étape chiante d'une routine protocolaire parce qu'on est surbooké, c'est aussi l'unique fois où on laisse passer une erreur aux dimensions abyssales ?

C'est ce qui est arrivé à un magasin d'électronique de Los Angeles, lorsqu'un client s'est pointé avec sa XBox 360 et son reçu en demandant un remboursement. Consciencieuse, la vendeuse a appellé un type du département électronique pour qu'il vienne checker la console avant de rendre l'argent, mais le bonhomme étant tout seul, il ne pouvait en aucun cas se déplacer.

Il demande à la vendeuse de vérifier la bête à sa place. Elle ouvre le carton, voit une XBox360, se dit "All Right !" et tend 350$ au client en souriant.

Tout va bien, vrai ?

Faux. Au moment de vérifier la boîte blanche, quelques heures plus tard, Môssieu Electronique laisse tomber sa mâchoire par terre.

 La XBox 360, vidée de ses tripes, est rembourée d'un gros livre de médecine. Un tube de vaseline aurait été approprié. Et le client a disparu dans la nature avec tout le hardware, et suffisament d'argent, pour racheter une palette de châssis sur eBay. C'est brave (ou stupide, au choix) quand on se demande ce qui se serait passé si quelqu'un avait véritablement inspecté la console.
