WP7S: XBox Live Games
 

So the new Windows Phone 7 Series will support Xbox LIVE games..

Does that mean all 1676 games? How will they go from a button-heavy-controller to a buttonless phone?

I'm not even a gammer (we have a Wii for the kids), but I can see how a rich game marketplace will be attractive and really give the WP7 the boost it needs to get going quickly..

I dunno about 1676 games, especially since like you said, several if not most will utilize a lot of the controller. I'm expecting more basic games like card or board games to be available on the phone that integrate back to xbox live, hopefully to be able to play with people on the Xbox, I know one of the more popular XBLA games is Uno and that would be easy to do on a phone, or poker, or board games, whatever I just hope there is heavy integration there.

Maybe the xbox360 controller will work wirelessly with windows 7 phones.

Re: WP7S: XBox Live Games
 

or there will be an app for that

Re: WP7S: XBox Live Games
 

can't even say how awesome that would be, but then we'd need some sort of kick stand ala Archos or HTC Imagio

Re: WP7S: XBox Live Games
 

or a tilt screen like the touch pro 2

Re: WP7S: XBox Live Games
 

forgot about that, even better

Re: WP7S: XBox Live Games
 

The Zune HD SDK (XNA) allows for xbox live play, at least has the objects.

If WP7 SDK is similar to Zune HD (which it should be) we're looking at a new era of phone gaming.

The down side... Zune HD SDK doesn't support 3D objects in XNA, it was removed. Hopefully Microsoft gets those pieces in soon.

sounds like its a good start

Re: WP7S: XBox Live Games
 

In order to accept input from the Xbox360 wireless controller, the phone would have to be able to use a 2.4Ghz freq

I'm happy actually just knowing these phones will come with an HD radio tuner, at least the 7series that I'm getting :)

Re: WP7S: XBox Live Games
 

well, depending on which sub frequency of 2.4 that shouldn't be a problem, we're almost guaranteed wifi which is 2.4 so depending on what frequencies the controllers are and the range of the chip.... interesting to see if this is possible, even if we have to hack it

Re: WP7S: XBox Live Games
 

The specturm that typical Wireless B/G uses is 2.401 - 2.495 GHz, which is an open and unlicensed spectrum and can be used by any device for wireless. The Xbox 360 controllers utilize a 2.4 GHz spectrum, however that one is closed and reserved for only their use via a spectrum license. Therefore, I do not see an easy way to get the Xbox 360 controllers to work with a Windows Phone 7 hardware device, as the spectrums will not match and therefore the devices will not see each other.

The Xbox 360 controllers can utilize a small USB wireless receiver for connectivity with a PC for gaming, but the USB receiver is known to draw a good deal of power and even if you could get it to work with a Windows Phone 7 device, it would likely draw too much power and drain the battery of the device very quickly.

I think what they were talking about at MWC is a new line of mobile platform games that will allow users to play new and ported games on their phones; which will help increase their gamerscore and allow them to play with their current friends on XBL. Unless anyone here can convince me that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 would actually run on a mobile device.

Yeah, good luck with that.

Re: WP7S: XBox Live Games
 

Are you guys telling me that Halo 2 will run on a WP7 ???? heh...lol. No, more simple games, that you can play on-line against other users, possably on xbox live on a 360 or PC.

I hope they can do almost like a 360 game...that would rule, I would not need to carry my PSP or DS on long trips any more...awsome

Re: WP7S: XBox Live Games
 

no i doubt halo 2 will run but it should be up there with the ds as far as graphics...just remember that most likely we will be using on screen controls

Re: WP7S: XBox Live Games
 

At least we'll have multi touch now....Ever play one of the NES/SNES emulators with all the buttons on the screen ? Let's say it does not work very well when the phone will only see one push at a time...

Still, a game like halo with just a touch screen ? Nah... Blutooth with a Wii controller....that might work :)

Re: WP7S: XBox Live Games
 

it would probably be something similar to the apps for my ipod touch. i have call of duty and a few other games from xbox downloaded and some from playstation as well. the controls show up on the screen just like the actual controller. for non-touchscreen devices these games assign buttons on the phone for certain functions.

Re: WP7S: XBox Live Games
 

so where exactly is that screenshot from. do you have a link to the article you pulled it from by chance :rolleyes:

Re: WP7S: XBox Live Games
 

Well when i web surf I go through many websites big and small. Honestly I dont remeber where I got the original photo. I myself thought it might have been fake. So to prove to myself and anyone who asks like you, I made a demo myself. I used the Xbox graphics from that engine. I made it and proved to myself that it is in fact real. So the screenshots of my game are 100% and I put the link where you can download the game and see for yourself.f So for you to question those screenshots is 100% ridiculous if I have the game out to prove it.
In the past however REDD you have a history of following me around and basically try to start a problem or arguement. I see you started that up again. I already talked to the MODS, if this continues you will be banned, so chill out. Peace
Here is the demo I made to prove that call of duty
can be on your phone http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=114060

Re: WP7S: XBox Live Games
 

I 1) dont have photo-shop 2)dont see what your talking about 3)do notice recently you been in the last 4 or 5 threads I made trying to fight with me. I think your a sick individual following me all around ppc geeks looking for drama.
Well for the rest of people reading go check out the demo game
I made cause thats the best proof I got. Peace
Call of Duty on touchpro2 now http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=114060

Re: WP7S: XBox Live Games
 

if i had a 360 this would be cool..i guess.lol

Re: WP7S: XBox Live Games
 

OnLive Integration > XBox Live..I mean if OnLive was possible on phone you can play Crysis at max detail on your phone >.>

That said these games can be played with virtual buttons..aka some games have action keys like:

1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10

same as clicking them with a mouse..but that is a guess..
