Microsoft dismisses rumours of revised Xbox 360 hardware

Microsoft's Chris Satchell has dismissed rumours of revised Xbox 360 hardware sporting an HDMI port and a high-capacity hard disk, even claiming that photographs rustled up by our old friend Internet Reports mean very little.

 

"At the moment, everything you might have seen is just looking at our experimentation back in Redmond, not really a product that we're thinking about announcing," Satchell - head of Microsoft's game developer group - told GameSpot.

 

The Microsoft man was also cool on the prospect of a standalone hard disk upgrade to one of the mooted higher capacities (60, 100 and 120GB devices have been "seen" in the wild): "As we produce these services, if we see an increase in pressure that's something that will be interesting to look at, but there isn't any announcement today about any new configuration that may or may not be happening," he added.

 

At CES one of Microsoft's big stories was the unveiling of an IPTV service - the idea being to deliver television over the Internet to Xbox 360 - and Satchell elaborated on those plans, admitting that initially the plan is to piggyback service providers' existing plans by saying, "Oi you, see this Xbox 360? Put your stuff on it." Hence the partnerships with BT, Deutsche Telekom, Swisscom, and AT&T in the US.

 

Interestingly Satchell's also coy about whether the plan is to expand beyond that, suggesting provision constraints will be common to start with. On whether Microsoft will remove the need to tie yourself to one provider and offer IPTV direct, he says the firm is "looking at both [options], but first you're going to see it from our partners".

 

Plans for implementation of the service aren't fully in place either, with Satchell saying that it could end up coming through a dashboard update or a disc install. "Obviously our preference normally is to do everything online because that's where people are at," he noted.

 

And as for price - that's up to Microsoft's partners to consider, he said.

 

Satchell was speaking at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, where Microsoft said that it planned to launch an Xbox 360 IPTV service by "holiday 2007".

Xbox 360 C&C 3 to feature exclusive game modes

EA has revealed that the Xbox 360 version of Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars will include two exclusive multiplayer modes.

 

For a long time EA's Command & Conquer 3 was a PC exclusive, but in November 2006 the game was announced for the Xbox 360. EA ha now revealed that the Xbox 360 version will include a number of exclusive features: two new multiplayer modes and Xbox Live Vision camera support.

 

The two new multiplayer modes are Capture the Flag and Siege, which will be playable against people all over the world over Xbox Live. Online multiplayer in C&C 3 will be given a more personal touch for those with an Xbox Live Vision cameras; EA has confirmed that you will be able to see your opponent's face during the moment you claim victory. Likewise, the loser will be treated to ten seconds of gloating by the winner.

 

EA has also revealed that the single-player game will offer your money's worth, with more than 35 missions to complete, and as expected the game will make use of the same one-button interface as seen in EA's previous Xbox 360 RTS, The Lord of the Rings, The Battle for Middle-earth 2.

 

C&C 3 is currently expected for release on the PC in March, with the Xbox 360 version likely to follow later in the year, although no exact release date has been announced.

Of course the Xbox 360 and PC versions of the game won't offer Sixaxis controls, but in pretty much every other respect they're identical to the PS3 in terms of visual loveliness and graphical superbity. Allen was on hand from Sumo Digital (who are handling the conversions) to stress that the online features (which aren't present on the PS3), will definitely be really good, boasting 60 frames per second online, and a variety of modes, including ranked matches, friendly matches, TV (where you can watch other games online) and a leaderboard - where it's possible to upload and download highlight clips.
