X05 Reveals Many 360 Details

StocDred writes "GamesIndustry.biz has an interview with Microsoft's Robbie Bach stating that Halo 3 may not be out in time to smackdown the PS3 after all, despite what Bill Gates said to Time Magazine in May." He also had things to say about the Live marketplace and MMO plug-ins and their hopes for Japanese success. From the Gamasutra article: "Finally, Bach gave details on anticipated MMORPGs for the Xbox 360. The already-announced Final Fantasy XI will have a large beta test, such that any Xbox 360 owner with the necessary hard drive will possibly be able to participate. Apart from that, Bach said there would be no new MMORPG in the launch window due to the logistics of setting up a new service, but there would be a new entry in the genre two to three years after launch." Several MMOs are planned, though, such as the MMOFPS Huxley.

Hey, where is my backwards compatibility announcement? If it was GOOD news, don't you think they'd be announcing it during the keynote?

What are they waiting for?

How about reports from real gamers about Perfect Dark Zero?

IGN says they HOPE the framerate will get all the way up to a whopping 30 FPS?

WHAT?
