0


No I’m not talking about communications with Xbox service providers. I’m talking about Xbox Live communications between players. With the upgrade out on the horizon for Xbox’s Kinect features, the audio codecs used currently for cross game chat will be updated. Hopefully the update will be giving trash talkers the chance to be heard for a few seconds before they’re cut off, or little kids to scream their heads off. Now only if the people who make the headsets stop using that damn itchy material that rubs up against your ear I think we’ll be good.

While we have this time dare we name a couple of features that will make its way into the game off the bat?

100 Player multiplayer game matches?

a dedicated co-op story line?
