Om ervoor te zorgen dat de Xbox 360 een soort van backwardscompatibility zal kennen heeft Microsoft een deal gesloten met Nvidia zodat zij diens technieken kan emuleren op de nieuwe console. Voor een aantal jaar zal Microsoft nu Nvidia moeten betalen om hun eigen games af te kunnen spelen.

De oude Xbox maakte gebruik van een Intel processor met een Nvidia videokaart. De nieuwe Xbox 360 zal echter een Power PC processor gaan gebruiken met een ATi kaart. Door deze verandering in hardware liep Microsoft tegen het probleem op hoe zij oude Xbox games werkend kon krijgen op de Xbox 360.

Microsoft heeft nu een licentie gekocht van Nvidia om ervoor te zorgen dat zij de oude Nvidia technieken softwarematig kan emuleren. Toch lijkt het probleem nog niet volledig opgelost te zijn. De Xbox 360 zal voor elk oud Xbox spel wat het wil afspelen nog een patch (of zoals Microsoft het graag noemt, 'emulation profile') nodig hebben. Een aantal emulation profiles van Xbox top spellen zullen bij de harde schijf meegeleverd worden en andere zullen in de loop van de tijd via Xbox Live verspreid worden. Microsoft zegt hiervoor niks te vragen.

MGS4 on other platforms?
Thursday June 16, 11:08 AM

Metal Gear Solid creator Hideo Kojima has told Famitsu that he chose PlayStation 3 for the next instalment in his stealth-action series because of loyalty to Sony, according to a partial translation by US website IGN.

Kojima said that the decision was an easy one because the Metal Gear Solid series had grown up with Sony hardware, the Sony market and Sony's support, it was reported.

However while the game is exclusive to PlayStation 3 at this point, it's not inconceivable that it might port to the likes of Xbox 360 and Nintendo Revolution, although the veteran developer apparently said he'd prefer to do something new with Metal Gear on those platforms - perhaps with a product that distinguishes itself as Metal Gear Acid did on the PlayStation Portable.

Kojima has previously admitted that he has his doubts about PS3 hardware. In an online interview last month, he said he was "not sure...everyone can live up to that high standard that Sony is expecting," before describing the Xbox 360 as more "down to earth".

IGN reports that his latest Famitsu interview sees him commenting on PS3's high level visuals again, before reiterating that Xbox 360 may enjoy more developer support this generation.

He also reportedly said that he expects a few more Nintendo Revolution revelations in the run up to that system's launch, expected in mid-2006. PlayStation 3 is expected to launch next spring, while Xbox 360 will be with us this Christmas.

Verwachtingen zijn altijd hoog. Maar de meeste screens die we hier voorbij zien komen, zijn behalve de HD-resolutie van 1280x720 niet veel anders dan huidige xbox screens!

Publisher: Microsoft Game Studios

Developer: Rare Ltd.

Format: DVD for the Microsoft Xbox 360 video game system; Xbox Live-enabled

Product Overview: Renowned game developer Rare Ltd. introduces Kameo: Elements of Power, a mystical action-adventure game available exclusively on Xbox 360, where the ability to morph into unique and incredible warriors allows Kameo to search out and battle ever-present evil.

Boasting impeccable next-generation graphics and innovative gameplay, Kameo shines as a giant leap in game development. Continuing its legacy of creating dynamic puzzles, immersive combat and enormous environments, Rare fuses multiple genres to create a strikingly fun gaming experience destined for widespread appeal.

Features:

Real-time morph-into-warrior action. This innovative combat system allows players to harness and strategically employ the unique powers of 10 elemental warriors from the five Elements of Power (Plant, Water, Rock, Ice and Fire), including Major Ruin, the armadillo, and Ash, the fire dragon. Each warrior has up to eight powerful abilities, and players can upgrade their warriors' abilities through strategic augmentations, ultimately providing numerous gameplay possibilities. With the game's fast-paced action, loads of enemies and massive boss encounters, success requires clever and strategic deployment of each warrior's powers and ability to master "quick-switch" combinations. Engage in up-close combat on the battlefield with Pummelweed, a wicked, boxing plant-warrior, or finish off enemies as Chilla, an ice yeti, by throwing penetrating ice spears.

Next-generation gaming. Transcending the common gaming aesthetic with greater cinematic appeal, Kameo represents the cutting-edge graphics and gameplay expected of next-generation gaming on Xbox 360. "Kameo" boasts stunning battlefield experiences where gamers will experience thousands of simultaneous enemies with independent artificial intelligence, as well as exciting special effects, high-quality voice-over and high-definition graphics enabled only through Xbox 360. The visceral and engaging online experience is enhanced with the latest developments in Xbox Live support.

Vast exploration across a mystical, magical world. Lush environments, an engrossing story, marvelous creatures and clever environmental puzzles abound in this fantastical, richly envisioned universe. In this world, Kameo must master her new ability to transform into various warriors and harness their elemental powers to save her family from Thorn, the evil troll king.

Immersive and intense cooperative gameplay. Kameo enables multiple players to vanquish foes together in split-screen cooperative mode.

Xbox 360 has Real Time Words (Xbox 360)
Developer Real Time Worlds signs with Microsoft for exclusive titles on Xbox 360.

Today at the ELSPA Games Summit conference, Peter Moore, Corporate vice president, Worldwide Marketing and Publishing, Xbox, announced that the award winning developer Real Time Worlds have signed with Microsoft to develop exclusive games for the Xbox 360.

The dev studio is led by three industry veterans who between them are responsible for such franchises as Grand Theft Auto, Lemmings and Donkey Kong Country.

"We're looking forward to working with Real Time Worlds and are thrilled with what they're going to be achieving with Xbox 360," said Moore. "The company harbours some of the most talented people in the industry, responsible for milestone games such as Grand Theft Auto, Lemmings and Donkey Kong Country.

It wasn't just Xbox 360 titles running on unfinished hardware, it would seem.

The PlayStation 3 hardware used at E3 last month was running at only 75 per cent of the final system speed, according to reports which have emerged this week - confirming comments made by SCEE development boss Phil Harrison at the show.

"It only gets better from here on in," Harrison told GamesIndustry.biz at the time, referring to the performance of the system. "As you get closer and closer to production hardware, you're using more and more like the final silicon, which will be more and more like the final clock speed."

Now Japanese website ITmedia has revealed that the development kits used to run demos including Epic Games' stunning Unreal Tournament 2007 demo were running on hardware clocked at just 75 per cent of the final projected speed.

The Cell chip in the development kits runs at 2.4GHz, according to ITmedia, while the final chip will be at 3.2GHz; and the graphics part used for the demos wasn't the final RSX chip, but rather a different NVIDIA GPU which may not have been optimised for the PS3's high-speed RAMBUS memory interface.

Of course, Sony wasn't the only company showing off titles on unfinished hardware at E3. Microsoft claims that the Xbox 360 titles it showed off weren't representative of the final games, since they were running on alpha-version development kits which have as little as 25 per cent of the power of the final system.

Look if you "Kuratagi & Friends" gonna put numbers in the media be aware of your competitor, first you didn't show demos at all that where really running, just CG made shit and if that was 75% of it's power then your competitior machine would be at least 2 times more powerful as its was just running on 25% of the power the final machine will give to it's gamers.
