Ubisoft has confirmed today via a press release that the upcoming first person shooter, Rainbow 6: Vegas will include support for the Xbox Live Vision camera. You'll be able to use the Xbox Live Vision camera to scan your face into the game and take your custom character online. This isn't the end of the customisation however, you'll also be able to choose weapons, clothing and camouflage to really personalise your character.
The Xbox Live Vision camera launches in two weeks in Australia and the camera is already available in the UK. Other games to support the camera include the two Xbox Live Arcade titles, Uno and Texas Hold 'Em. We'll have a preview of Rainbow 6: Vegas up shortly, so stay tuned to PALGN for the latest news regarding the game. Rainbow 6 Vegas will also be coming to the PSP and the PlayStation 3
Microsoft continues to roll out new backward compatible games on Xbox One. Today marks another three joining the service.
Headlining the bunch is Sega’s brightly colored subversive skate game, Jet Set Radio. Originally released on the Dreamcast, it got a new lease on life as an Xbox Live Arcade game.
I would really like to see Mark of the Ninja getting added to the BC list, as well as the Project Gotham Racing games, Ninja Gaiden Black, Trials Evo, Dirt 2, and a few others...
Jet Set Radio Future on the original Xbox is better to me because it's faster, there's more platforming and it's not so incredibly hard. The Dreamcast game still has a great art style though.
Xbox and Sega are playing with my emotions. Seriously...no Sonic All Star Racing Transformed?? But yet Sega would authorize...Sonic The Fighters...
