Talking Point: What Should Xbox Call Its 'Project Helix' Console?

Any ideas for the name of the next Xbox?With details slowly starting to trickle out about Project Helix and Microsoft's next generation plans, we've begun thinking about what the team may end up calling its next-gen Xbox console once the Project Helix codename is presumably retired.This is always an interesting topic with Xbox because, well... they're not exactly known for common sense naming conventions, are they? So far in the platform's history, we've gone from Xbox to Xbox 360 to Xbox One to

FRONT MISSION 3: Remake Review

FRONT MISSION 3: Remake is a bit of a mixed bag. There are good bits, like the story and gameplay which are lifted straight from the original. But then there are those elements that don’t work anywhere near as well - like the weird halfway house graphical update, dodgy FMV and weird upscaled portraits of the characters. The post FRONT MISSION 3: Remake Review appeared first on TheXboxHub.

Feature: Xbox Backwards Compatibility Helped Me Rediscover This Forgotten Call Of Duty Horde Mode

Playable fully offline on modern Xbox consoles!I'll openly admit that I'm a bit of a sucker for going back and playing classic Call of Duty on modern Xbox consoles, but I usually stick to a few personal favourites; Modern Warfare 2 for the nostalgia, Black Ops for Zombies mode, you know the drill. This week though, I decided to load up 2011's Modern Warfare 3 instead, and the shaky state of its online multiplayer made me discover a long-forgotten game mode: Survival.Yep, you may have forgotten t

Talking Point: What Do You 'Expect' From Xbox Over The Next Five Years?

How will things look when the 30th anniversary arrives?Back at the start of the week, we shared how Microsoft boss Satya Nadella recently had some very interesting things to say about fan expectations at Xbox, including a need to "make sure they love us for what they expect us to do".Nadella didn't really go into specifics about this though, only throwing out terms like "console", "PC", "Halo" and "Forza" and suggesting those were important parts that can help "live up to what they expect of us"
