The Same Game Played on Windows Phone 7, Windows 7, and Xbox 360
At the TechEd Middle East show, Microsoft’s Eric Rudder, shows a simple Indiana Jones games running on all three devices. Not only can all three devices play the same game (that all share 90% of the same code), but you can start playing on one and then pause and finish playing on another platform.
Not the most amazing game, but it is a great proof of concept. The ability for the three different devices to play the same game with 90% of it’s code being the same and being able to have the platforms share information seamlessly (needed for the pausing and replaying on another platform) is definitely a great step in the right direction. It’ll be interesting to see some multiplayer or more complex games demoed…
Any hardcore Xbox Live users slightly intrigued by the concept?
now if they can get a game of worms2 running on that and xboxlive at the same time for some multiplayer i will be thouroughly impressed.
