Support NeoGAF

[statham]

Saw this on Reddit, and thought it was pretty cool.

Hi Guys n Gals, after learning that we can play HTML5 games via Internet Explorer on the Xbox I decided to make a website with games that work with the controller.

So what is XBOXIE

The name XBOXIE is (Xbox + IE) but pronounced “Xboxy”.

As most of HTML 5 games are designed with Keyboard in mind it means there is very little with controller support. After googling for hours to find working games I decided to put together a site with every game I've test and I know that works.

Over the next week I will be adding hundreds of games to the site (But I've been programming all today so I've decided to give myself a break)

The website is a very user friendly for the Xbox browser so you can easily jump in and out of free games from your console.

I've also added in what the controls are for each game.

What else is coming to the site

Next week I will add the ability for you to be able to rate games, so once I've got a fair few in the database, the good ones will float to the top.

And what else

Most developers don't think about console in mine when making web based HTML games, so over the next month I will be contacting as many Indie Devs as I can to ask them to add in controller support to allow us to be able to play it on the console (plus I think it be a cool selling point for devs to say "You can play this on Xbox one")

You can help

If you have found a good HTML5 game and tried it yourself so you know it works on the Xbox then you can submit it to the site, and once I've checked it, I will add it to the database.

Last of all

I know there isn't a huge amount of great games on there YET, but its early days... but with your support I should be able to grow this site.

PS. Don't forget to pin this website to your dashboard.

I've tried pacman and a few others and it works pretty good. most use the Dpad.

Haha this reminds me a LONG time ago when Wii got a free browser someone did the same thing and made games that were playable on Wii. It was a pretty nice diversion during the lulls, although they stopped updating it pretty quickly

 

[T.O.P]

that's pretty awesome

will try it later!

 

[Daffy Duck]

This could be pretty sweet!

Does PAC Man have the original maze?

 

[Slashlen]

Games using the web browser of a console? I thought that thing was for porn.

 

[Snake201]

This is awesome. I'll definitely check it out later and bookmark the page on IE.

Some people just want to watch the world burn.

Not sure if you want to watch some porn while the kinect is staring at you.

 

[BlackBuzzard]

Theres more on the internet besides Porn,Gaf and Twitch?

 

[Mikey Jr.]

That pacman game is awesome......

custom mazes. Holy shit.

I was wondering why you were on IE. This sounds cool, I'll check it out tonight or tomorrow.

Because after it goes blind I'll have my privacy back?

 

[hawk2025]

Tried three or four games -- there's just enough input lag to make the whole experience kind of unbearable

Pac-man was the best of the bunch, but it's just too laggy for my tastes.

 

[kittens]

I love this kinda stuff.

 

[digoutyoursoul]

Edit: Sorry

That was my first thought too.
It really was a pretty nifty idea, but just never really caught on, which was a shame.

 

[hawk2025]

Snip

I'd edit that if I were you.

By the way, seems like all of the Atari Arcade games work (so far), so give those a shot as well!

 

[Moneal]

Some of these can even be played through the PS4 browser.

 

[Garrett 2U]

Very cool idea

 

[jem0208]

This is a really great idea. I'll try this out later.

 

[R3TRODYCE]

Will try after the foozeball game goes off.

 

[Captain Tuttle]

Very cool

 

[Bgamer90]

Cool. Will try this later on.

 

[DR3AM]

i tired playing pong on my pc and you cant go all the way down. wtf

Tried on the XB1 and you can't go all the way down or up.

 

[RdN]

It's a cool idea. I've bookmarked it to try later.

 

[Backfoggen]

Nice idea

Does http://nesbox.com work I wonder ?

Seems to be Flash-based. Would be amazing if they could do it in HTML5.

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

Pretty awesome, I'll have to check this out and pin it later.

 

[R3TRODYCE]

Alright, I tried it and it was actually pretty well done.

 

[Sons Of Anarchy]

Xboxy made me laugh a little

 

[Remfin]

The Wii U has this capability natively (it has a special gamepad API)...but as far as I can tell no one has ever found out how to disable the built-in button usages (if you even can), so its almost completely useless.

 

[Kouriozan]

It's like Wiicade then?
I was pretty awesome.

 

[Yoshi]

Nice idea

Does "NES/SNES emulator" work I wonder ?

Uhm, that's straight up priacy, isn't it? Delete link?

this is actually a really awesome idea. Hopefully it works for ps4 as well.

i have done this and all it does is laugh at your weird fetishes and wiener size

Yeah, that was kind of a big deal for awhile. Being limited to a superset of Flash 8 killed it over time, however.

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

Lava Blade works very well, it's a basic turn based RPG for $5. Try the demo on your X1 if you want.

I submitted it to the site.

http://www.lavablade.com/

 

[JPeeples83]

www.html5games.com works as well - it's got mahjong!

 

[statham]

www.html5games.com works as well - it's got mahjong!

these work with the controller?

 

[S¡mon]

Xboxie.com and html5games.com both work quite well on PS4.

Yes, I just tested it.

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

www.html5games.com works as well - it's got mahjong!

The website works, but this new site is for games confirmed to work with the controller. I guess I'll start testing a lot of those games .

 

[slapnuts]

My favorite site

Edit: I dont know if this works on X1 ...just sharing the link, maybe OP or someone can check it out
http://game-oldies.com/

Social Mahjong works. Game-Oldies sadly, does not work.

 

[statham]

He added a couple more, solitaire works alright, but isn't fun with the controller.

 

[Ghost]

Bejeweled!

 

[statham]

cut the rope was added, I love that game on android, haven't tried it yet on xbox.

 

[benny_a]

A limited selection of games that work on PS4 were also added: http://www.sonyfied.com/

The PS4 browser is apparently less HTML5 compliant than IE on Xbone, so there it's more limited.

 

[Goodacre0081]

http://www.sonyfied.com/

same dude made a PS4 version

EDIT: bahh!

This guy has been spamming the Xbox One Sub reddit for the past couple of days, seems like each time he get's reported because the post keep on coming down, seems like he's going to start spamming NeoGAF now.
