Am I the only one who just can't bring himself to get excited about Scalebound?

I want to be, really I do...but it just isnt there.

An aside...STILL NOT IN THE FUCKING FABLE BETA!

Scalebound is one of those games I've been half following (even if I keep forgetting the name) but hopefully there will be a real "wow factor" shown at E3, if not shortly thereafter. I can see why it's not really jumping out at you but you've gotta keep the faith Star!



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Not what I expected as news:

Microsoft has leaked word of a new Xbox One controller, presumably to be revealed next month at E3.

The company's own Xbox Support website has been updated with mention of a 3.5mm headphone port at the base of the pad.

This new feature is "only available on controllers released after June 2015".

What other new features the pad will offer is unknown.

One frequent request from Xbox One owners is for a controller that can be charged via USB cable straight out of the box, rather than via a Play and Charge kit (sold separately).

But the fact that the design is otherwise identical suggests that the overall form factor of the controller will remain intact.

Wouldn't be surprised. Xbox UK released this on twitter.

I agree that they are over doing it with the amount of Forza games. They need to give Forza and Halo a break.

And I think a new Xbox controller would probably only have minor improvements.

I don't think that it's too much Forza. For me, Forza Horizon and Forza Motorsport are totally different games and a Forza Rallye, Forza Kart or something like that would be also totally different.

You can already see that in this thread, many really like Horizon but hate Forza Motorsport. And many Forza Motorsport fans aren't very interested in Horizon.

With a third "Forza" game it would give three years development time for every single release which would be good for the quality and would bring a new exclusive game of a different racing genre to XBO.

I would agree if we would talk about a new Horizon every single year but we are talking about increasing the time frame of single releases from two to three years. It's still a new "Forza" every year but we talk about different racing genres and Microsoft would increase the time they release a game of a specific racing genre with a third installment. 

In my opinion it's the opposite of "overdoing" it with Forza, people shouldn't look to much at the name and more at the content the different Forza games would deliver. 

You won't see many racing fans who are like "ohh no, already the next Forza with Forza Rallye but I got already Forza Motorsport a year ago". If you want rallye you aren't satisfied with "normal" race tracks and if you want "normal" race tracks you have nothing from rallye.

Fantastic! This is the one feature I love about my PS4 controllers and wish my Xbox One controllers had. This news is very good indeed :)

I agree and disagree. I agree that having another variatio of Forza game is by no means a bad thing, hell, you could have 'Forza Karting' and it could be nothing to do with Forza per se. The main problem is that they are overusing the brand name. I would rather have 'Forza Motorsport', 'Horizon' and 'Xbox Karting', than 'Forza Motorsport', 'Forza Horizon' and 'Forza Karting. It gives the impression that they are milking the franchise rather than creating new IP (which is exactly what Forza Horizon is).

Looking forward to playing Massive chalice this month, Will also pick up Thief on 360 as I never actually got round to playing that.

I was honestly surprised with the women teams in Fifa but only 12 teams is way to low and some great teams are not in it. Also you can not play men team vs women team. :s

About Forza, a 3 year cycle is better, while I enjoyed FH2 it was lacking in content and if they had one year more it could have been an amazing game.
