First mention of an upgradeable Xbox game
Hmm. Drew points out an intriguing article at Xbox.ign.com, in which the developer of Dead or Alive 3 suggests that 1) the Japanese version of the game will have more features than the US version (they'll continue developing it during the three months between US and Japanese Xbox launch dates), and 2) that
When asked about the online capabilities of the system, as well as the hard drive, Itagaki put out the olive leaf to US DoA gamers. "So again, to US gamers, don't worry about the changes to the Japanese version," said Itagaki. "US gamers should feel very safe when they purchase the game on November 8th."
Itagaki (leader of the coding team for DoA 3) doesn't go so far as to say explicitly that US gamers will be able to download a patch to bring the US version up to par with the Japanese version... but he strongly implies it. What this means for the down-the-road online capabilities of Halo can be wildly speculated on our forum. (Louis Wu 08:47:22 UTC)
