Microsoft pourrait lancer un nouvel environnement pour le Xbox Live dans lequel les avatars pourraient explorer une salle d'arcade virtuelle et y jouer.
On parle d'un environnement graphique tout nouveau inspiré du Home de Sony.
Les noms de cette partie du Xbox Live pourraient être Games Room, RetroCade, Tower of Rom ou Classics LIVE...
Microsoft n'a évidemment pas confirmé quoi que ce soit.
If a consumer survey sent over to us by a tipster is to be believed, Microsoft is looking to bring a virtual Avatar arcade to the Xbox 360. Some of the potential names listed in the survey are "Game Room," "RetroCade," "Tower of ROM," and "Classics LIVE." Yeah, we're partial to "Tower of ROM" also.
If the proposed service sounds familiar, that's because it's nearly identical to PlayStation Home's arcade spaces – like Namco's virtual arcade – just replace the dead-eyed dopplegangers of Home with the scrunchable avatars of Xbox 360. The second survey question sent to us asks, "Which of the following names would most compel you to purchase the product?" indicating that the "Tower of ROM" might not be a free space but could instead have a fee associated with it.
While the survey doesn't give us much more to go on (besides a sinking feeling that we're not interested), we thought we'd ask you, Joystiq Biomass, to weigh in on the product's name. Let the fat cats in Redmond know what you think!
