“It’s even longer before developers fully learn how to exploit the hardware. “It takes a while before the software development kits – the applications that developers use to make games – really come into maturity,” says independent developer Byron Atkinson-Jones. This, he said, would hugely increase the depth and accuracy of game worlds. Just after the launch of PlayStation 4, the machine’s designer Mark Cerny said it would be three years before we saw studios starting to truly exploit the capabilities of the hardware – for example, using the graphics processor for other tasks such as collision detection and physics to boost performance. Developers are getting to grips with the hardware If only for a while, Dance Central and its sequels were the new house-party necessities.Here are five reasons why the answer may quite possibly be yes. Made by Harmonix - who earned its rep by making Guitar Hero and Rock Band - Dance Central fulfilled a musical need, with a robust library of pop and dance hits with hands-free motion controlling (especially when Xbox 360 owners grew bored from banging on plastic instruments). The Kinect, a controller-free motion control camera, never caught on commercially and Microsoft condemned it to a grisly fate.īut one of the best games that made the most out of Kinect was Dance Central. Not everything associated with the Xbox 360 was a hit. To commemorate the Xbox 360’s quiet but dignified death, Inverse takes a trip down memory lane to celebrate some of the console’s best exclusives. The 360 stood firmly in the front lines as video games became cultural phenomenons, and it ushered in a consumer media revolution (the Xbox 360 was the first console to introduce Netflix streaming). But one day the Xbox 360 and its contemporaries in its generation cycle - the PlayStation 3 and the Nintendo Wii - will be relics in a museum, and that day seems closer now that Microsoft ceased production on the Xbox 360 this week.ĭespite a slew of technical hiccups and weaker stats than rival, Sony’s PlayStation 3, the Xbox 360 was a very successful piece of Microsoft hardware. Those things may appear resilient, especially when some-12 million Call of Duty players still game on them today. Such is the nature of life - and video game consoles.
