New Xbox To Have ‘Offline Abuse’ Feature

Games News: Microsoft say the new Xbox will feature a ‘virtual’ teenage boy screaming abuse at you, to make it feel like multiplayer gaming even if you have no internet connection.



As with the iPhone virtual personal assistant Siri, Microsoft say the next generation of Xbox consoles will come with a virtual companion you can play with offline – ‘Tony’ will be a 13-year-old boy who screams homophobic abuse at you while you play.

“Hearing other players while gaming is now an essential part of the Xbox experience,” said a spokesman for the company.

“Research shows that gamers play up to 80% more effectively if they are shrieked at by a furious teenage boy calling you a ‘fag’ or ‘cocksucker’ while playing. Now Tony will bring that technology to all games, even if you’re not connected to the web.”

Microsoft say the Xbox will come with Tony pre-installed and that further friends – including ‘Luke’ who repeatedly brags about sexual intercourse with your mother – will be available to download from the Xbox live Marketplace.

Battlefront 3 was being worked on when LucasArts shut down. It doesn't look as awesome as the Free Radical one, but it does look pretty good.

lol capcom is selling the soundtracks for Megaman 1 and 2 for 8.95 A PIECE.

I'm talking original 8-bit versions, not rearranges or anything. And to top it off, it's a digital download.

I love the music of the Megaman series, but good god, you'd have to have lost all sense of reason to consider buying these.

All game purchases should give you the OST as a free digital download. And anything as old as MM should be free downloads off the official site (MvC3).

According to Xbox Live Support, while the log-in issues have been fixed there are still issues regarding the text/voice chat systems and Friends Lists service not working correctly.

Also warning that game saving also is having some problems at the moment with Minecraft and is affecting Silver account users the most.

That's a rumour that's been scaled back by the rumour mill.

Still, this is why I would never buy an an always online console.

Daily Gaming News:
1) The FPS version of XCOM rumored to have been cancelled after 2K has removed the official websites for the game and taken down all official trailers for the game.

2) According to recent promotional leaks, Battlefield 4 will feature 3 playable factions for multiplayer and the return of Commander Mode for the game.
http://www.egmnow.com/articles/news/...ayer-factions/

3) Ubisoft's CEO, Yannis Mallat, believes consumers are ready to embrace "always on" consoles with his reasoning being related to people already being comfortable using other devices with the same type of connections.

If we get knocked offline these other devices, do we get penalised?

I mean, my phone's technically always online, but if I lose Wifi or 4G, I can still use it.

Hmm...

My use of Battlefield 3 is always online, that's what I want it for - so I'm kinda living this reality already. Battlefield servers historically crash on launch day (sometimes nearly a week). It could be a bitch if the company isn't on point.

Daily Gaming News:
1) Criterion announces they are beginning to move away from the racing genre with the official reason being the studio has gotten tired of making racers and their next project is a non-racing game.
http://www.destructoid.com/criterion...s-251719.phtml

2) Ubisoft believes they will benefit greatly during the next gen due to the stronger focus and priority towards social and connectivity features for games.
http://www.destructoid.com/ubisoft-b...n-251798.phtml

3) Microsoft has denied rumors of Anonymous being responsible for the recent Xbox Live problems and instead claim it was due to a networking mishap that occurred during server maintenance.

4) Analysts from Cowen & Company state both Gears of War Judgment and God of War Ascension have failed with underwhelming sales as the official reason. In terms of first month sales, Judgement only managed 22% of Gears 3 sales while Ascension only managed 33% of God of War 3 sales.

Well, yes, but you're talking about the online multiplayer portion of a game being always online, and I don't think anyone is objecting to that. Mostly because it would be ridiculous to expect online multiplayer to be offline.

Unfortunately, since EA's already trying to redefine SimCity as an MMO, we might get this defense for gaming as a whole as we see games with social services rebranded.

And I've probably said it before, but does anyone remember how Microsoft used to have terrible problems keeping their service up over the holidays? There was one year it was so bad they gave out a free game, but it wasn't even the only time it happened.

Its not just BF3, rather it has to be bought as a set of 3 games each costing $3.33 (BF3, NFS: Hot Pursuit, Black Ops). I ended up buying the whole set even though the other 2 I either already have or are shit.
