So there's a presentation with a XB360 in four hours.

I have more basic functionality questions than anything:

1. Ask for a ballpark estimate on the number of XBOX titles X360 will be backwards compatible with at launch, and if Microsoft still intends to adds more games via Live over time.

2. Ask for clarification whether X360 will support all of the same Aegia Physics SDK features as the PS3 (Aegia seemed to express doubts about certain types of simulations due to the architecture of the X360 CPU, their complex water being one IIRC). If not, will XBOX360 use a different implementation that results in a similar visual effect?

3. (edited out, answered below)

4. What is technically preventing the XBOX360 from utilizing all of the "Media Center PC" sharing features (i.e. movies) with Windows XP when other products with similar media sharing features work fine with XP?

5. Will FMVs be stored at 720x480 resolution (standard definition) or 1280x720 resolution (high definition) by default given the limited size of the standard definition DVD media XBOX360 uses?

6. (edited out, answered below)

 

The answer to #3 is that HDD and memory card are interchangeable.

And #6, 5.1 has already been confirmed as a requirement.

 

heh cool. one more:

7. Will saved games for the offline portions of games or offline games be more portable this generation? i.e. many XBOX games (i.e. Dead or Alive 3, Burnout 2) had their saved games locked to the specific XBOX console the game was saved on.

 

Ask him if in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make.

 

Baron out of curiosity, what's the context of this presentation by the way?

 

HCI? In that case ask him why MS are only supporting boring control systems with no Revolutionor EyeToy type interfaces as standard

 

Ask him "What can change the nature of a man?"

 

It's been way past 4 hours...

 

Please ask how far along are they from implementing the suggested Software-Based Backwards Compatibility feature on the XBOX 360?

Will it be sold seperately or will it be a downloadable feature on XBOX LIve?

 

Shoot...

I just realized that

 

So, where are your answers?

 

Best game ever.

I think I can answer this one: nothing.

 

I'm still amazed at how good that game was. Can you imagine a game with that writing and detail, using todays graphics technologies?

.... sooooo.... the 4 hours have looong gone....

 

LOOL
So what did happen in this presentation?

 

So what game are you talking about?

 

Planescape: Torment

I fear that the mediocre sales of PS:T have severly reduced the chances of any publisher funding development of a similarly "brainy" (for lack of a better term) game again.
