Zune Gaming

Carlos · 02-20-2008, 10:08 AM

I believe now it's slightly official the Zune has Gaming;

Quote:

11:04 am PT -- "Democritizing" game development... there's that word again. We should ask our slave to tell us what it means. What if some of these games could be taken mobile? What if you had a Zune (what if indeed...)? XNA Game Studios titles on your Zune. Aha.

11:05 am PT -- Satchell whips out a Zune (he actually has one) and selects "Zauri", a topdown shooter. It supports custom soundtracks too (what with it being an MP3 player and all). You can take a game from Windows, to Xbox, to Zune, explains Satchell. "We've more than delivered," says Satchell of Microsoft's original XNA vision.

From the GDC Microsoft Keynote;

Games on the Zune!!! Yes you heard it right!! There will be games on the Zune by the end of the year. Chris Satchell of Microsoft just showed a preview of a new concept that Microsoft is doing called "Community Games". They are games that consumers make, they go through a process of the games being checked over and then they will go up on Xbox live. These games will be playable upon the Zune!

More later as this story breaks!...

Chri(Z)tian · 02-20-2008, 10:14 AM

Yay more games!!!! Yeah some one just posted a thread about a quote, explaining how'll there's going to be zune games too. So i'll post what I posted there.
Yay Zune Games!!!! That's good news, and a good extra feature. I would rather have a clock though....

. Hopefully MS doesn't take too long to get everything out.

Ultraman5000 · 02-20-2008, 10:17 AM

Great, I have a Xbox 360 and a Zune, and have about 10 arcade games. Can't wait. Anyone know how to play it on your zune? Not like there is many buttons.

mr.handsomeman · 02-20-2008, 10:27 AM

YES! I was hoping so much for games, and now it seems like it's going to come true! ALl right!

Ultraman5000 · 02-20-2008, 10:27 AM

Yeah, I'm the same way..but have been thinking about getting a 80gb Zune anyways..so this would just give me another reason to go through with the purchase.

joej · 02-20-2008, 10:31 AM

i hope they have it for the 30 aswell i have my fingers crossed

i hope this update works for 30s aswell if not i will be mad by the way there are two threads going on the same topic

stkr · 02-20-2008, 10:39 AM

1. I hope that they're free (they could hold that over Apple)

2. I hope that they're available without the 360 (I'm a Wii man)
