Will we ever see Devil May Cry on the 360?

 

According to Japanese analyst firm NikkoCitiGroup, Capcom's success with Dead Rising has not only been a surprise, but also a signal of potential PlayStation 3 exclusive Capcom titles migrating to the 360 and PC. The firm says Capcom shipped 320,000 copies of Dead Rising in the first week and has forecasted shipments to reach 450,000 units by today.

 

NikkoCitiGroup analyst Soichiro Fukuda says because of the "healthy sales" of 360 titles, Capcom could take franchises like Devil May Cry and Monster Hunter away from PS3 exclusivity and into multi-platform availability. As 360 hardware and software numbers rise, what's going to stop publishers from letting go of exclusivity with the PS3?

EA and Digital Illusions Unveil Battlefield: Bad Company for Next-Generation Consoles

REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 21, 2006--Throw out the rules of engagement, this is all-out war! Electronic Arts (NASDAQ:ERTS - News) today announced that Battlefield: Bad Company is currently in development for the Xbox 360 video game system from Microsoft® and PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system.

Built from the ground-up for next-generation consoles using Digital Illusions' bleeding-edge Frostbite game engine, Battlefield: Bad Company drops gamers behind enemy lines with a squad of renegade soldiers who risk it all on a personal quest for gold and revenge. Featuring a deep, cinematic single-player experience loaded with adventure and dark humor, the game delivers the series' trademark sandbox gameplay in a universe where nearly everything is destructible.

 

"The heart of DICE's multiplayer games is the frenetic, unpredictable nature of the sandbox experience, where anything could happen at any moment, and that's what we're bringing to the core of Battlefield: Bad Company's single-player campaign, said Karl Magnus Troedsson, senior producer at DICE. "In a world that's 90 percent destructible, the gameplay possibilities are infinite -- the battlefield is always changing, forcing players, teammates, and enemies to react accordingly. Gamers will have total freedom to adapt to and tackle challenges in creative Battlefield-style ways."

 

Battlefield: Bad Company also will feature a full suite of the franchise's trademark multiplayer options with deep gameplay modes designed to take full advantage of the game's massively destructible environments.

 

Developed by Sweden-based developer Digital Illusions, Battlefield: Bad Company is slated to ship for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in 2007. For more information about the Battlefield franchise, please visit http://battlefield.ea.com or our press web site at http://info.ea.com

Meta Review: Madden NFL 07 For Xbox 360

Ok some of the hardcore games reviewers have already published reviews of Madden NFL 07 for the Xbox 360. So what's the verdict? It's more than a good game which leaves you enjoying the game more as you ever increasingly play it. The reviews agree that with the inclusion of some extra modes and a few improvements with regards to fluidity, then this one would've been great. Football fans, get ready to rumble!

 

Here's what some of the game critics are saying -

 

* IGN 8.5/10 - "This is the year EA Sports finally shows 360 owners what the series is all about, the trash talking, the head-to-head competition, the ability to create yourself and become a bigger star than the Seahawk on the box. Forget the curse, I'm headed to the Hall, one block, one IQ test, and two athletic parents at a time. This is the Madden gamers have come to know and love. Welcome back. Only next time, remember to bring Owner mode."

 

* TXB 8.3/10 - "Madden NFL 07 is undoubtedly jam-packed with things to do, and most of them are enjoyable additions, but I would have preferred a better framework to begin with. With a bit more attention to in-game fluidity and detail, and the inclusion of core extras such as online leagues and co-op, Madden NFL 07 could have been stellar. Itʼs good for sure, but Madden NFL 07 isnʼt a lock in this gamerʼs Hall of Fame".

Microsoft Hardware Manager: Xbox 360 Core Was Built To Get To $199-$149, PS3 Wil Never!

 

Gamepro has scored an interview with the Microsoft hardware manager ( Albert Penello). To cut a long story short, he says the HD DVD player will be by far the cheapest next gen player solution and will be out in plenty of time for the holidays. He said there are no plans for a HDMI port on the 360, but did not rule out the possibility completely. He also hints that if HD DVD really takes off, MS may consider making a 360 upgrade with the next gen drive included. Lastly, he compliments PS2's sell em low, ship em high style and says the PS3 will never sell for such a low price, but the 360 core bundle can hit the $149 price point one day.

But Penello wouldn't speculate on anything regarding timing for such a hardware upgrade -- certainly not "until the war is over, and a [format] winner has been determined," he said. And besides, he added, "I want to be able to give people a choice."

 

"I don't see how the PS3 could ever get to $199 or $149 dollars," Penello argued. "Hard drives don't cost reduce, and these new [blu-ray and HD DVD] drives are expensive." Now we're getting somewhere: Penello clearly sees a weakness in Sony's hardware-first approach with the PlayStation 3. "We built the Xbox 360 Core system so that we could get to $199 or $149 sometime," a retail feat that Penello thinks is outside of the PlayStation 3's grasp for the foreseeable future. Penello thinks that the PS2's approach is smarter -- they're selling "boatloads" because the system is so cheap to manufacture. "I don't see how the [PS3] could ever get to $129 dollars," he concludes.

Xbox Live Vision secrets revealed!

 

The Xbox 360 camera will work on your PC or Mac. You simply have to download a quick software upgrade and youʼre all set to go. Thanks to T7 for the question!

 

If anyone would like me to send them a picture message just to test the Xbox Live Vision Camera out, just post your gamertag in the comments below and Iʼll ship one as soon as I can (my gamertag is ʽCoolaʼ), thanks!

 

New pictures of the Cameraʼs ʽZoomʼ function listed at the end of the article.

 

A cool feature of the camera was just pointed out to me by fellow Microsoft Xbox MVP - Shogun of Live. While the Xbox Live Vision Camera is on, if you go into your music player, you can actually play with the vizualization with gestures of movement. I took a shot of me waving my hand infront of the music player and this is the result:

 

 

And thatʼs only scratching the surface! Thatʼs pretty cool that this camera also works with PCs and Macs. It looks like those of us whoʼve been holding off on getting a webcam have scored pretty big thanks to Microsoft.

 

Also briefly mentioned in the article is the use of a “video chat ʽrumbleʼ feature.” This is exactly what it sounds like. If youʼre video chatting with a friend and press the left or right trigger, itʼll cause a slight vibration to their controllers. Now weʼre not exactly sure why youʼd want to do that, but I guess itʼs cool having the option.

 

This next part is a little vague–

 

All the while you can cycle through the same picture effects by pressing the Left and Right Bumpers, just to spice up your video.

 

–but it seems like you can add some effects to the video chat by pressing the right and left bumpers.

 

Once you hook the camera into the USB port, youʼll be given a standard watery background, which is changeable to that of an edgy or dotty background.

 

Have you ever been disappointed with the 360ʼs Marketplace themes and wished you could create your own? Well, thereʼs still no word whether or not you can actually create your own themes, but the good news is you can be the star of your own theme! Apparently the Xbox Live Vision Camera takes whatever itʼs looking at and automatically makes it your dashboard background. It does all this in real time, too!

 

To send a picture message, all you do is attach an image, just like you would in a normal e-mail. You can also add certain effects to pictures. And yes, you can also create custom gamerpics. As far as we know, these are only shown to the friends list for obvious reasons involving genitals and such.

 

And there you have it.. these details are a few of the things you can do with the Xbox Live Vision Camera. It offers loads of customization and adds some pretty cool, new features to some already heavily-used features. But remember: with great customization comes great responsibility; please use the Xbox Live Vision Camera wisely. Millions of gamers everywhere will thank you.

Medal of Honor Airborne to Use Unreal Engine 3

 

The latest Game Over column over at CNN Money has revealed a couple of upcoming EA games that will make use of the recently licensed Unreal Engine 3 technology.

 

The first one is Medal of Honor Airborne, the latest installment in EA's acclaimed WWII first-person shooter franchise. Developed by EA Los Angeles (EALA), Medal of Honor Airborne was pushed back to 2007 and according to P.J. McNealy, an analyst with American Technology Research, the game made the switch to Epic Games' UE3.

 

The second EA game claimed to be powered by the Unreal Engine 3 technology is an unannounced first-person shooter titled "Dead Space".

 

Chris Morris informed in his editorial that EA declined to comment on the specifics of the report.
