ThaPrototype Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 From Engadget: Microsoft Japan recently held a small press briefing detailing some of the new features bundled into the Xbox 360 Fall Dashboard Update. With the help of Engadget Japanese's Ittousai we've been able to pinpoint a few relevant changes that are in store for next Tuesday's update. The most significant addition is the reorganization of the "games" blade (pictured above), which now features the "Game Library" (in place of "Xbox Live Arcade"), in addition to the old "Achievements" and "Played Games" sections. When opened, the Game Library is nearly identical to the current XBLA menu, with a vertically-scrolling games list and an info box appearing for the highlighted game [Famitsu image]. New, however, is a horizontal sorting menu, broken down by filters like "All Games," "Arcade," "Demos," and "Recent Downloads." (This new horizontal and vertical organization is not unlike Sony's XMB design -- Microsoft calls it "twist" navigation, the same UI used for Zune.) Additional Fall Update features:Top level of "marketplace" has been reorganized and reduced to four categories: "Featured Content," "What's New," "Game Store," and "Video Store" (below top level, categories will be navigated by twist, just like the Game Library) "Personal Profile" added to Gamer Profile; text field allowing approx. 500-1000 characters, providing space to publish name, nationality, region, and self introduction. (Further social networking tools to accompany 'Friends of Friends' functionality) XBLA demos deleted from "Played Games" and Gamercard lists Getting rid of the demos is finally happening.

Shinobi273 Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Too bad that doesn't include 0GS games that were retail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheColdWolf Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 I wish it included the games that we don't have any more and the 0GS games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinobi273 Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 I wish it included the games that we don't have any more and the 0GS games How would they know we don't have the game anymore? 0GS would totally make my day, as I stated above. Maybe the ability to delete games off our profile at will? I'm not sure I would want to go that far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skillet Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 I think it would be nice to simply have a clean-up feature. Kind of like a Desktop Clean-Up that comes with most versions of Windows that deletes old and un-used icons on your desktop for you. Just have it so it deletes and games with 0 gamerscore whenever you tell it to and be done with it. Or at least the option to delete each game as long as it has 0 gamerscore.

Blackjaw x Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 God I hope it includes retail games with 0 or arcade games that were purchased but still had a 0. Also, I hope we can sort our games played list that others see, to make it look nicer. God I wish I didn't get 10 in Bejeweled, 30 in Geometry Wars, etc. I also just bought a couple games because I had a 0 in them from the trial and can't get 200.

RFT 123 Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 This will really help. I HATE looking at my profile and seeing 0's on arcade trials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1138 Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Now I'll finally download demos (and erase Yaris forever). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krueger Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Took them long enough but i cant wait to get some of those games out of my profile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blind x360a Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 I can't wait to delete my demo'd arcade titles. Joy to the world Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patches4711 Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 I am glad that the demos are coming off the gamercard. I am really not a fan of removing 0gs from the card. If you bought the game and played it and got 0gs it should be part of your card. I have some of these myself 10pt games here and there. I bought them and thats all I got out of them.

Bullet2theface Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 This is great news, now I don't have to buy those 2 arcade games that have 0 in them. I also wish it would give you the option of actually removing the games from your own game list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThaPrototype Posted November 27, 2007 Author Share Posted November 27, 2007 I don't think we should be able to take the 0GS games off. It's the XBLA Demos that kill me. I have a friend that is consistently 1000 points ahead off me, but says i suck because i have played 20 or so more games than him so technically I should have more points. This is only because he doesn't play any arcade games, or DL the demos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ho5tiLe D Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Now I'll finally download demos (and erase Yaris forever). i actually went through and got the 200 in yaris, worst hours of mylife. it would be cool if you could arrange your last 4 achievements youve gotten. the pics that show up on the current game you are playing. also it would be even cooler if you could choose any achievement youve unlocked as your gamer picture. Such as guitar hero 3 completed Through the Fire and Flames on Expert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinsetsu Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 They need to NOT make playonline a viewer have a spot. Even though it gives 0 of 0. It just does not need an icon goose egging my profile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J eVeRy DaY 514 Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 thats good news for the demos being erased. but i also think that its good you cannot delete 0s or 10s because that should just make you want to finish the game. just because you don't like a game doesn't mean you should be able to take it off your played games list.

ThaPrototype Posted November 28, 2007 Author Share Posted November 28, 2007 i actually went through and got the 200 in yaris, worst hours of mylife. You deserve bonus points for this!!! Yaris just hurt my head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badgerodoom Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Getting rid of 0 point retails would be dumb. these are games that you didn't bother to play and get points, but still had the chance. its like betting if you can get achievements easily, and if you lose the bet, you have that 0 on your card and a worse completion percentage. The 0 wouldn't be there if you didn't put it in your console. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wstussyb Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Yay for this, maybe just maybe they will do something more so we can get rid of the games we did'nt like and did not try to get a GS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
