Just for the lols
http://www.thepoke.co.uk/2013/04/11/...abuse-feature/ 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. http://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-live-status |

Sega made a clarification on their blog saying its not a PS3 exclusive and that the third platform wasn't the Wii U but PC instead. Guess people assumed it was a PS3 exclusive since the original announcement was done on the Playstation blog.

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. |

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.
