GDCE allows Microsoft to confirm several details about Xbox 360 Gamer Profiles...
During the Microsoft Developer Day at Game Developers Conference Europe, the company confirmed several features of Xbox 360âs Gamer Profile some of which had been previously discussed at the Xbox Conference during E3.
Revealed on Gamasutra, part of CMP that runs the GDCE, gamers will be able to choose from four different personality traits such as âCompetitiveâ and âSocialâ so that effective matchmaking can take place and mis-matches can be fewer. Microsoft has also clarified the feedback system so that every gamer has a rating according to the feedback received from competitors â“ so at least we can all hope to avoid screaming abusive players.
One of the neat little features implemented into the Gamer Profile is that every Xbox 360 will check the playerâs preferred settings; for instance, if a gamer likes to play FPS titles with the Y-axis inverted then the option will be automatically set every time a player boots up an FPS title. The addition of the Xbox 360 Music Player into every game has been made mandatory for every Xbox 360 title so the days of having to listen to in-game soundtracks if the option for Custom Soundtracks was disabled is over. The lecture at the event did make it clear that voice-overs and other audio elements will still be present.
Finally, the ability to chat to someone on Live regardless of whether the same game is being played or not, will be available for players. Pausing the game to allow the voice chat, other voice-overs will be muted out from the conversation. Details were not revealed in the report as to whether the feature would be one-to-one only, although the suggestion of it being âQuick Voice Chatâ would seem to suggest so.
Weâll have more news shortlyâ¦
