Xbox 360 'Internet Explorer' App & HTML5

There have been games released in the past that averaged 30fps. I don't see 27 being to bad, that's if it holds 27. Battlefield 3 and Forza horizon's both are limited to 30 fps if memory serves. This should not be a problem. I for one am very excited.

I do have one question, is the xbox Program opened to anyone or is it a closed beta?

[QUOTE=Davioware] I don't find a 27 fps average for something as simple as space blaster to be a good result. At all. On mobile: understandable, but on a 360? It's terrible, even if it's through a browser. It seems the performance should be better even if MS is too stubborn to support WebGL. Watch them come up with "DirectX: Live" soon, just to stay relevant.[/QUOTE]
Remember the XBox 360 hardware is from 2006. 6 year old hardware is pretty old by today's standards, and in fact modern mobile phones and tablets are probably actually comparable. So I think it is to be expected that XBox 360 performance is roughly what modern mobile performance is.

I wish they'd just bring out the next console generation instead of prolonging this one, it's so dated now. I remember when consoles were cutting-edge.

It was open for a limited amount of slots. Though, it did open a second time and perhaps it still is? You'll have to register at Microsoft Connect to apply for any Xbox dashboard beta they host.Crazyhowie2012-09-20 15:14:23

What I can�t understand is if microsoft isn�t going to support webgl, why haven�t them integrated their own solution yet?

Wow, this all seems pretty impressive.
I had the same question as sheepy, but I'm starting to believe it's because they can't do anything which would compete well against it. Eventually, as it becomes a bigger necessity and a standard, I'm sure they will give in and support WebGL because it's what people WANT.

I'm still very pessimistic that MS will implement WebGL. I think if they did anything along those lines, they'd invent something like WebDX. This would probably cause some awkward compatibility issues (GLSL shaders won't work unless rewritten in HLSL...) but would be better than nothing, and more likely than WebGL.

Sigh. Oh Microsoft, you so silly.

Quick question on this one... I've got my game loaded up. The first layout plays fine but the second it tries to proceed to the next layout the game freezes.

Has anyone else had this issue? It's happened with 2 different games now which both work fine on mobile devices and my laptop browser.

*edit*
Sorry to bump this topic, didn't notice the new one. This was the first one I saw when I did a search.

Also does minifying script effect the performance?FredQ2012-10-25 23:42:46

I've been browsing the arcade on the xbox and come across a few that will freeze up after what appears would be the first layout. I'm wondering if there's an action it isn't handling properly. Possibly the 'wait x seconds' action or something??? No idea. It's just some work and some don't and I cannot work out why. It's frustrating as both of my game don't pass the first layout.
