Is it just me, or are xbox 360's not all there cracked up to be? I mean, the specs are a big improvement over the xbox original, but nothing seems to be using, nor needing these upgrades. Generally the graphics are around the same, with newer series games actually made slightly worse for the xbox 1, to promote xbox 360, giving you the idea the graphics on the 360 are better, but if you search some actually well made games for xbox 1, they not only beat, but crush the graphics of the 360. For instance, look at this http://www.gamespot.com/xbox/action/...om_clk=gsimage , these are screenshots for dead or alive 2 or dead or alive ultimate (same game, second in the series) for original xbox, then look at these for dead or alive 4 for xbox 360 http://www.gamespot.com/xbox360/acti...rt&om_clk=tabs
Theres not much difference, and this is a high quality game. (note we are comparing a sequal, to a sequals sequals sequal) Ive played both games side by side today, and the xbox 1's doa ultimate, did look much better, edges more rounded, and the hair is actually fine, as it is thick and terrible looking on the 360's doa 4. I will try and bring my camera to my buds next time im there to get some photos or them side by side. The screenshots really dont do its justice, but give you a good idea on how the graphics havent really improved at all. I think that the xbox original could have been stretched furthar than it was. The 360's were just plain to rushed. The first gens over heated, and when u had them on there side and tipped it over it would destroy your disk. The xbox originals also kill the 360's in modification.there bodys are square, and big, giving lots of room for exernal stuff ie: paintjob, lcd, logo mods...etc. The internals are better for modding to, as it takes a normal ata hard drive, giving you many possibilitys for upgrading your space. btw you can even swap the ide cable for an e-ide cable for better performance. Once modded, an xbox original gets even better. Dvd playback without remote kit, emulators, game storage, picture storage, video storage, themes, connection to pc for filesharing, linux... and more. I dunno, i'm not a gamer at all, but from my point of view, the 360 was a stinker release.
