Now we can add Apple to the list of companies with free online-gaming services while Microsoft raises the price of Xbox Live subscriptions. I'm just sayin'....
News Blips:
At an Apple keynote speech today, company CEO Steve Jobs revealed that they plan to release the Game Center app for the iPhone "next week" and the iPad in November. Game Center -- similar to Microsoft's Xbox Live service -- sports a friend system, leaderboards, and achievements. Also at the event, Epic Games president Mike Capps showed off his studio's new Unreal Engine 3-powered iPhone et al. game, Project Sword (codename), which features a medieval setting. If you listen close enough, you can hear the cries of thousands of new-born iPhone-gaming fanboys. [Joystiq]
Actor Christopher Lloyd is set to reprise his role as Dr. Emmet Brown in Telltale Games's upcoming Back to the Future titles. USA Today's Game Hunters blog reports that additionally, the screenwriter from the movie trilogy, Bob Gale, plans to develop the plot for the five installments of the episodic game. Sweet. I can't wait to play...I just need to fix my PC's flux capacitor first.
The voice-recognition software in Microsoft's Kinect will only support American English, British English, Japanese, and Mexican Spanish at launch in November. Microsoft confirmed to Eurogamer Spain [via Eurogamer] that they do not plan to expand the device's voice-recognition software and controls to Europe (and European languages/dialiects) until spring 2011. I'm gonna try speaking to Kinect in Spanglish (American English + Mexican Spanish) and see if that works.
