XBOX360 将加入无敌新功能: 硬盘玩游戏 + 支持16:10 PC显现器!
XBOX LIVE GM Marc Whitten 给玩家的最新公开信中, 为 E3 中 360 的新功能来了个补充:
Dear Xbox LIVE Member,
Whenwe launched Xbox 360 in November 2005, Xbox LIVE was integrateddirectly into the console. Back then, Xbox 360 was the first system todeliver access to experiences beyond just the disc in the tray. Withthe Xbox guide and dashboard you had access to everything on yourconsole as well as your community.
We also imagined that Xbox experience would continuously improve over time, through the power of software.
Sincelaunch, you’ve always pushed us to continuously innovate. It is becauseyou spoke with one loud voice that we added new features likebackground downloading, 1080p support, movies and TV shows, video chat,a Marketplace blade and instant messaging.
Over time, as we’vedelivered more and more content into the Xbox LIVE Marketplace, we’veheard from many of you that it has become increasingly difficult tofind the games and content you want.
And that brings us to today.
Becauseof your feedback, we started rethinking the entire Xbox experience.What we discovered was that we could not only provide a betterexperience for you, but also something that reaches out to newaudiences.
What John Schappert unveiled for the world on stageat E3 was just a sneak preview, so I wanted to share some deeperdetails on some of the new features in the new Xbox experience.
John Schappert 在E3上的展示只是个小小的预览, 所以这里我跟大家更深入地谈谈360以后的新功能.
Here is a look at some additional features you will find interesting:
•Play from hard drive. Copy your games from the Game Disc and playdirectly from the hard drive. Not only will the drive not spin, butload times are quicker, as well. Of course, you will still need thedisc in the tray to prove you own the game.
可以把游戏复制到硬盘中玩, 光驱不但不用使用, 而且加快了读取速度. 不过游戏盘是必需放入光驱, 来证明你是拥有它的.
• New display support. Because you asked for it, we are adding 16X10 over VGA or HDMI, and support for 1440x900 or 1680x1050.
VGA 和 HDMI 将加入对 16:10 PC显示器的支持! 能用 1440x900 和 1680x1050 等分辨率.
•Access Xbox LIVE Marketplace on the Web. Browse and purchaseMarketplace content whenever you want from Xbox.com and it downloadsautomatically to your console. Purchase that new map, televisionepisode, the latest Xbox LIVE Arcade game or set up a movie to watchwhen you get home from work.
可以在 XBOX.COM 买LIVE卖场的东西, 自动下载到你主机里.
•Dashboard built into the new Xbox Guide. For everyone who loves theblades interface, it’s not going away; they are now built directly into the new Xbox guide. Every feature and option is available right fromthe guide. You can even access your full games library at all times. Nomatter where you are (in dash or in game), immediately call up yourgames played list and directly launch a game.
在游戏中可使用 Dashboard 功能.
•LIVE Party system. Create a party of up to eight friends, and stay withthem from one game to another, or watch a Netflix movie together, orshare a slideshow of your personal photos. It works with all Xbox 360titles, not just upcoming games. LIVE Party allows up to eight peopleto chat in the dashboard, so you can meet up before playing.
能达8人的 PARTY 系统, 能一起看电影,照片和聊天.
•Xbox LIVE Primetime. This whole new category of games is going to giveyou more reasons to get online with your friends. Games will supporteverything you’d expect, like Achievements and leader boards, but manyof these games will include real prizes. You can invite your friends,and even set a reminder for an upcoming show. Each game is broadcastsimultaneously, so everyone is answering the same questions. Manyevents will have a live host, calling the shots as they happen.
LIVE 将有更多的节目, 如真实的奖品, 让你更有理由上线.
•Avatars. Your online identity started as a Gamertag - it then grew intoa personalized Gamercard. Now, it has evolved even further intoavatars. You can express your style, check out new outfits and sharethis with the community. Avatars will also be integrated into Xbox LIVEArcade games, LIVE Party, as well as retail games.
玩家卡片将有新头像系统
This is only the beginning. Over the next few months, we will share more details on the upcoming changes.
这些都只是个开始, 接下来的几个月我们会为大家发出更详细的资料.
以后能用硬盘玩游戏 (不再耗光头), 支持 16:10 PC显现器 (不再被拉长画面) 无敌了!
