Now that it's been announced at E3, I can finally reveal that the Xbox 360 feature I work on is...
It's been awhile since I last posted, first because we were on vacation, and then because I've been completely swamped at work.
I'm so excited that today we've revealed the Xbox 360!!!
Unfortunately, I can't yet write about the Xbox 360 feature I work on. Much, but not everything, has been revealed. But I've heard my feature will be announced at E3, so maybe soon.
In the meantime, it seems everyone's talking about the hardware, but personally I think the experience is far more about the software. I love what we've done with the system software, and check out some of the launch titles -- wow! I hope they show a lot of these (and more) at E3, so that everyone else can share the love.
I've seen demos of about six launch titles so far, and most of them really blew me away. Halo 2 and Jade Empire are great, but I wish I could play Gears of War RIGHT NOW -- I expect to spend many hours glued to that game. At HD resolution, Ghost Recon 3 looked like a live news feed. It was so photo-realistic that I had difficulty accepting it was just a game. It certainly ended any doubts I had that this will be a new generation of gaming experience. If these are on display at E3, I'm very jealous of anyone who gets to try them out! :-)
Steve asked me about essential Mac software for his new Mac-mini.
Ever wonder what it's like to work at Microsoft?
A new year, an updated website. Although this is not a blog, I've added an RSS feed for anyone using a blog reader.
I've also added articles on random number generation, optimizing loop stride, and altered the overall design a little. Enjoy!
