Forza Developer Pushing Xbox 360

6:00PM Brian Ashcraft | The old adage is that as a developer gets more familiar with a platform the better able it is to wring every last drop out of it. Forza developer Turn 10 is apparently doing that on what’s believed to be Forza Motorsport 3. According to Turn 10 community manager Che Chou: here’s stuff being worked on here at Turn 10 that I simply can’t talk about right now, but the progress we’ve made in the last six months has been absolutely incredible. The fact that we’re working on our second game for Xbox 360 means our software architects have figured out ways to push the 360 in ways I didn’t think were possible in terms of both visuals and performance. You’ll pardon me if I sound a little excited, because, frankly, I’m frickin’ psyched. Just imagine how excited Chou will be on the next next Forza game. His head will pop!

New 360 Double Game Bundles Discovered

1:00AM Flynn De Marco | Yesterday I got an email from a fellow who said he had found an image of a holiday bundle for the 360 and as there wasn’t much more information available, I put on my Sherlock Holmes hat and got to work. After some rummaging about, I was able to turn up not only the Elite Bundle, but one for the Pro system as well marked as eventually being available in the US. The bundle will include the system and it’s accessories plus two games, Forza 2 and Marvel Ultimate Alliance. These images were discovered on a website Microsoft uses to market their products and while there was no pricing information available, the Elite image was clearly marked as “Xbox 360 Elite Holiday Value Bundle.” Judging by the name, one can assume that this will be the Xbox’s bundles available for the upcoming Thanksgiving/Christmas shopping season. Unless of course they are saving it for Flag Day, which means we won’t see it till spring of next year. Chacun son pack [Gamick] More »
