Our fellow Joystiqpresent at the GDC, to get an interview with Ron Pressner, general manager of Xbox Live, and Michael Klucher, manager of XNA Game Studio.The information obtained confirms some rumorsand also provides valuable details about the game system in the new mobile operating system from Microsoft.
It is confirmed that the Games for Windows Phone 7 Series can be developed on two platforms: XNA Game Studio and Silverlight, which means we will not see anything in Flash or Java games. While some securities may be offered on multiple platforms (Xbox 360, Zune and WP7S HD) via Xbox Live, can not save games between platforms, at least not yet. We have also used the code for HD in the Zune software can be reused in a “90 to 95%” on Windows Phone 7 Series devices, which allow games to be ported within hours.
As far as hardware is concerned, the options for manufacturers are very limited. This will help the software to work almost seamlessly across different devices. Finally confirm that multiplayer games may not be shared in real time, and only have the option to play in shifts. On specific titles have preferred to say nothing at the moment, but we do not doubt that such information will be among us soon.
