    This was a quote made by Aaron Greenberg from the xbox team.
    Anyone want to make a guess at what this could possibly be? That's one hell of a comment to make :eek:

    Maybe some type of hat that can read brainwaves and translate what you are thinking to movement on the screen. Now that would be cool :D

    Wait: I could swear I heard about that yesterday, and what does that have to do with video game history?
    And would a US press conference not take place until at least 4 or 5 Irish time?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,222 ✭✭✭Scruff


    that indeed was a shocking announcement: shockingly boring.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,848 ✭✭✭Fnz


    Perhaps MS will introduce some sort of betting system for online matches. Whereby a player can "bet" Xbox Live points on themself winning.

    A game of skill, not a game of chance, y'see.

    Boo-urns.

    Today Microsoft Corp. and NAMCO BANDAI Games made video game history by unveiling the “Pac-Man Championship Edition” — featuring the first new Pac-Man mazes in more than 26 years — available only on the Xbox 360™.

    The “Pac-Man Championship Edition” is the same beloved “Pac-Man” game played in arcades of the ’80s but is updated with new features that former “Pac-Man” fanatics and new generations of fans alike will love. It includes new mazes that dynamically change shape during gameplay, six new timed game modes, new soundtracks and high-definition (HD) graphics. Details include the following:
    • Classic 2-D “Pac-Man” presentation with a new, modern look in HD
    • Six new, timed game modes:
     The Championship Mode. This is the main game mode designed by NAMCO BANDAI Games and Iwatani specifically for the championship round of the Xbox 360 Pac-Man World Championship. This mode – as well as all others within the “Pac-Man Championship Edition” – features redesigned mazes with wide maze walls and a widescreen configuration to better enable high-speed game play. Timed limit of five minutes.
     Challenge Mode 1 (Patience and Reward Course). This mode is an evolution of the Championship Mode. Patience mazes strategically offer fewer Power Pellets and Reward mazes provide a large number of Power Pellets – providing unique challenges and rewards for the player. Timed limit of 10 minutes.
     Challenge Mode 2 (The Darkness Course). In this mode, only the area directly around Pac-Man and the Ghosts is visible and the maze walls are completely hidden. Timed limit of 10 minutes.
     Extra Mode 1 (The Freeway Course). An extremely high-speed mode for advanced players, this mode features warp-speed Pac-Man and Ghosts and plenty of tunnels. Timed limit of five minutes.
     Extra Mode 2 (The Manhattan Course). A mode inspired by the streets of Manhattan — the home for the first-ever Xbox 360 Pac-Man World Championship. Timed limit of five minutes.
     Extra Mode 3 (The Overall Course). A mix of all other modes resulting in extreme mazes for the most devout Pac-Man fans. Timed limit of 10 minutes.
