When manufacturers play games...

**sunglasses**

...there's more than one kind of DOOM.]]>Apr 20th 2010 10:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/zune-hd-yes-it-plays-doom/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/zune-hd-yes-it-plays-doom/Apr 20th 2010 11:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/zune-hd-yes-it-plays-doom/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/zune-hd-yes-it-plays-doom/man those controls need work. like how bout tap and hold bottom left for moving forward then use tilt to turn, eh eh? none the less this is very promising.

just picked up a zune hd 3 weeks ago. i was bummed at how it had so much potential, but at least it was still an amazing media player. however we are in a different ball game now, it is only a matter of time before openZDK really takes off. i can't wait!

now if only microsoft would have allowed open dev from the beginning, why oh why?]]>Apr 20th 2010 11:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/zune-hd-yes-it-plays-doom/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/zune-hd-yes-it-plays-doom/I am still very curious to see what microsoft will do about this. I really hope they don't try to stop the hack. The zune team has better things to do (like bring wpa enterprise support).]]>Apr 20th 2010 11:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/zune-hd-yes-it-plays-doom/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/zune-hd-yes-it-plays-doom/
Really? Nobody? Not a single one? Alright then.

since this requires no flashing of the firmware...even if microsoft came out with a fix (block), as long as you don't update your firmware you'd be ok.

but yeah, they better not do anything, unless that something is to support it, haha. for some people, openZDK is a reason to upgrade their old zune or simply buy into the zune scene. i don't see how they (microsoft) can lose form this, its not like they have a paid app service that will take a hit, sigh]]>Apr 21st 2010 12:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/zune-hd-yes-it-plays-doom/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/zune-hd-yes-it-plays-doom/
Gaming sucks on my iPod Touch. For the same reason gaming will suck on the Zune. You need buttons! Tilting a device is only fun for so long. When someone makes an attachment for these devices that offer buttons and a D-Pad then you will have a winner.]]>Apr 21st 2010 1:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/zune-hd-yes-it-plays-doom/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/zune-hd-yes-it-plays-doom/Apr 21st 2010 6:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/zune-hd-yes-it-plays-doom/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/zune-hd-yes-it-plays-doom/

If anything, this just shows that touchscreens are a horrendous control scheme for anything except non-realtime RTS games.]]>Apr 21st 2010 9:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/zune-hd-yes-it-plays-doom/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/zune-hd-yes-it-plays-doom/Apr 20th 2010 10:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/zune-hd-yes-it-plays-doom/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/zune-hd-yes-it-plays-doom/As much as I love XBMC... the interface just can't compare to the style and the usability of the Zune interface.

However, the Codec support and plugins and scripts would be bad-ass.

More important, when can we get Rockbox on this?]]>Apr 20th 2010 10:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/zune-hd-yes-it-plays-doom/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/zune-hd-yes-it-plays-doom/Apr 21st 2010 1:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/zune-hd-yes-it-plays-doom/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/zune-hd-yes-it-plays-doom/Apr 21st 2010 8:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/zune-hd-yes-it-plays-doom/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/zune-hd-yes-it-plays-doom/Not eliminate, never. The interface on Rockbox is utter crap.

When you perform a port you work first on the game porting part, THEN you focus all you energy on the control to get it perfect.

I can't play this version of Doom.
I have 2nd gen Zune.
I would get Zune HD, but that is obsolete now too.
So, fine ... it can play Doom.
But can it play Pong?
