Almost forgot but I hope custom soundtracks are still going for the new box, loved using that feature in racing games especially
Yeah, and when you look at what's happened since the 360 (Apple, Google, other companies that have that great synergy across software and hardware), it seems even more likely. I hope they go for it.

Microsoft is trying to get to people to move away from KBM on Windows. I doubt they will support it on the Durango (even if it would be useful).
I think LoL could work with a controller. It controls pretty similar to Diablo and that works ok on a controller. It would be different, but I think it would be kind of cool.

Are we seriously going to have a debate on "Riot Games is owned by a Chinese company, so the "league" part of LoL is a mistranslated English title!"?
He made a bad joke/weak argument, just let it go.

Not really,"league" also can translate to "聯盟" in chinese
same here. i dont see why they would cut that feature out though. i think we are safe

I don't think anyone said that "entire countries would abandon the PC version for the Durango version". I just think that it would be a huge differentiating factor for people when deciding which platform to invest in and that it would CERTAINLY sell boxes.
Not even close to true.

Sammy died and there's a stray cat ITT
Yup
Uh, no it's not.
Minecraft on the 360 has multiplayer. It has creative competitive player vs player stuff. It has multiplayer RPG quests, split screen co-op....and much more.
Ehhh, naw, I'll have it in a small window streaming at work on one of my monitors. Probably chime in from time to time on GAF during. Well... Probably after since Sonic crashed GAF the other day.
It has a multiplayer mode. It's not really competitive though. The draw for Minecraft is really seeing everyone's creations, and even creating things together. Can create things alone or online though.

You can argue semantics if you want, but we both know what I was saying when I said that.

This post is so ignorant it hurts.

The inferior control argument comes up every time a popular PC title makes its way to the consoles. People said an Elder Scrolls game would never transition to a controller. Not only did the game do well but it outsold it's PC counterpart. Sure PC gamers think they dumb-ed it down for the consoles, but that's not the point is it. They made the game accessible to the console audience, who in turn ate it up.
It doesn't matter that you feel it won't be a true LoL, the goal is to bring the experience to a new market.

What happened to this thread?
Do you play LoL?

I know what League can be translated to.
But you were arguing that "聯盟" doesn't necessarily just translate to "league" (singular), but also terms like "consortium" (which can imply leagues, plural), etc.
And I'm telling you that it's silly to even argue that, cause the two of us are looking like idiots and Takuya wouldn't care.

I think LoL can translate to controls well enough, I think it's not going to do MC numbers because LoL isn't pick up and play and the learning curve is pretty intense. And despite what people want to believe "consolifying" is a real thing that developers do for a reason. Console gamers are much more instant gratification than PC gamers. If LoL came to Xbox I'll bet money it won't be the same as the PC game in many aspects.
Care to elaborate?
I'm leaning towards it running some slimmed down version of Windows 8, with the obvious UI overhaul in favour of something more console-friendly. If they're pushing the "every device" thing, then this is the easiest way to do it.

The thing I want most is for MS to show need that they still care about the core group they established.
I want to see new original titles like Crackdown, Viva Pinata, etc. I DONT want them to fall back on the ultra safe Halo, Forza, Gears, rotation and expect me to get excited and jump onboard again for another generation.

No, I hate playing games with a M/K now.
Lay out some aspects that you think would change and then if an announcement comes, we can tally it up
The big change would be moving to direct control, but in terms of what's actually being played, I think it'd remain essentially intact.

You should play until you're 30, then think about how well that exact game would play on a gamepad.

Why i'm look like an idiot when he's not right or he doesn't care?i have lots of time so i can do what i want just like Takuya keep trash this thread.

just over 60 hours left, people are getting anxious, making sure damage control groundwork is sufficiently prepared for the oncoming storm.
I've played LoL through XPadder. Would I win MLG SuperPro 2013? Probably not. Did I have fun? Sure did. That's a lot of mileage covered right there.

I'm over 30 and I hate keyboard and mouse after my work day. I feel controllers do a great job and I don't miss Wow or Quake TF well maybe quake TF. Nevermind I didn't realize what you meant I've been drinking.
Which part was ignorant? That the next box OS would be a Win8 derived OS? Or that it would be dumb to get the WinRT runtime(yes that is redundant, but wanted to be clear) running on something other than a Win derived OS?
Was merely saying that the next box OS would be running a Windows based OS that only WinRT targetted applications can be created and deployed to the marketplace. Like Windows RT, except it obviously won't be running on ARM.
30, as in LoL account level...

All versions utilize WinRT, Windows Phone, Windows 8, and Windows RT all use it, so there is no "dumbing down to get WinRT. Whatever MS cooks up if they want app compatitbility it'll use WinRT. This goes without saying.

Real close now. I really want to... want one. Wasn't the biggest 360 fan due to various reasons mostly involving ads and the like... I like for game systems to be about games. Features are great, I just didn't enjoy the 360 ecosystem if you will. Just too much bullshit and clutter for me. I don't expect this to change but I hope they find ways to make the dashboard less... shameless.

WinRT is not present in WP8.
How did he manage that?
Part of the beauty of LoL and Dota / Dota 2 was the international competition. A battle between 4 regions, EU, NA, SEA, Asia.
It took someone like Icefrog, someone who religiously work for Dota for many years before he went to Valve for development of Dota 2, to convince professional teams in China to make the jump from Dota to Dota 2. He has 629k followers on the chinese equivalent of twitter as of this post. Pro teams aside, China, Taiwan, Korea and SEA has been big fans of f2p games on PC. Internet Cafe has always been a huge phenomenon. To ask them to pay for a console to play f2p games already available on PC and in Xbox case, probably paying a fee annually for multi-player and using controller to boot is an uphill task.

I know what your trying to say but you're missing my point. The console version would not be for you. Just like some people still prefer Elder Scroll games on the PC. You can still play the PC version. But that does not mean that there is not money to be made on the Consoles for a game like LoL.
edit: You may even have some migrate to the PC once they got their feet wet with the kiddie version
But you're not trying to pull PC LoL players into the console space, you're trying to get console gamers playing LoL too.
I never said something would be "dumbed down". Merely saying that it would be windows based (which includes windows phone). And only WinRT applications would be able to be deployed and installed from the marketplace...just like "Windows RT". That is the comparison I was making. Nothing more. Nothing less.
Bolded is obviously obvious.
WPRT runs a subset of the WinRT API.

Not its not. I am using right now.
It only sucks on the desktop side of things.
RT should have never had a desktop and just had the start screen.
The difference lies in its a competitive social game, it's very cooperative in nature. It's also a game with great appeal in the competitive scene. Some of the pro teams has over 100k+ subscriber on youtube and something like 567k people watch TI2 grand finals. If you want to moneyhat LoL from Tencent, you have to consider how to make these aspects work.
