Some early tidbit about the 360 fall update. The most important feature seems to have been, the Divx and Xvid video playback. Does it work like it should?
More after the jump..
Ecco the Dolphin is returning, with original creators confirming multiple new games and related projects now in development.
Loved Ecco on Megadrive/Genesis. Diving out of the water was always a fun feeling, and the whole 'vibe' while playing/exploring was pretty chill and special.
Always hoped we'd get a proper 3D sequel with modern-tech water-graphics and physics. (Same wish for Wave Racer btw).
It was pretty chill until you get to the last 2 or 3 levels. My god Welcome to the Machine was brutal.
You can always play an emulated Ecco: Defender of the Future on Flycast, or if you have a real Dreamcast play it there.
This makes me smile. I hope that the game and especially the soundtrack keep the same relaxed vibe.
That is amazing news. Keep it level based or metroidvania but dont go the roguelike route and it should be good.
That brings me back. I know I have a couple copies on Sega consoles but they’re in a box somewhere.
I may check out a new game if done well
This is an unexpected pairing as the two Ubisoft franchises are combining for an event.
Pandemic Studio alums go deep into the making of the kooky adventure that rocked PS2 and Xbox.
pretty great that you 360 guys get divx, and xvid, cant wait for the ps3 get it, enjoy guys, and what are you going to be watching on your 360???
@ kovenator,
hahaa that was pretty funny and god why did someone give me a disagree??
Does anyone know when any providers will be utilizing IPTV? I am very excited about that feature and seeing it in the new update only get's me that much more excited. DIVX and XVID support is great! Way to go Microsoft!
In Europe BT is the provider of IPTV. You will soon be able to buy the 360 as apart of their BT Vision pack.
