Live GFW Live & Xbox to gain new features? -TeamXbox

CVG broke a story about Microsoft?s of possible plans for the ?Games for Windows Live? service and how it can interact at some point in the future with the Xbox 360. An internal three-minute presentation by Microsoft surfaced on YouTube today already and we are here to break it for you.

The video features Xbox Live avatars perform various tasks from gaming activities to productivity. The video explains that Microsoft is of the view that if users they offered information about social networks and instant release be limited Shouldn?t on a single platform. Other information give the idea that a User?s avatar is their ?digital Identity? slides in your presentation. Microsoft sees a future in the avatars on the Web, Xbox 360, and search (bing?) are available.

The avatars of the presentation be seen swiping their hands, new clothes, the access to the friends list with a Kinect type user interface and play select with each other. The presentation concludes with the story ?The future of PC gaming is upon us. Is the question who will lead and will be the consequences? ?

While no specific initiatives in the short video announced it is quite clear, that Microsoft sold a vision of the future where the Windows PC and Xbox 360 closer relations. Games for Windows Live would be replaced with an Xbox 360-like interface that allows for cross-platform game and Kinect controls?

The video raises more questions than it answered. You want to use avatar your Xbox 360 as your ?digital Identity? for Microsoft Windows, Bing, and online gaming? Personally I have been a few times not satisfied with games for Windows Live, I've used it. While easier, you give it messages to contacts from a keyboard on the PC, I find the connection to the LIVE on the PC Isn?t as stable.

Let your voice about this possible vision be heard a connected Xbox 360/PC World in our section "Comments".
