Microsoft’s Director of Windows Phone Product Management, Aaron Woodman sat down for a one hour long chat on the company’s Windows Phone 7 Backstage website 2 days ago. Here’s basically what I got out of it:
– Only turn-by-Turn multiplayer multi-platform games at launch
– No Multiplayer gaming via bluetooth
– Lots of “great” games supposedly launching alongside the platform this fall
– Only WiFi and Cell Data to send invitations, not bluetooth
– Not sure a M rated games on Windows Phone 7.Review will be done on a game to game basis
– No word on Halo yet, more announcement before the launch (EA, Gameloft, Microsoft Game Studios etc working on WP7 games right now)
– Huge marketing push coming this fall
– No gameplay on the Xbox, then pause and then continue playing the same game on your Windows Phone 7 at launch
– Markeplace will be available in more countries soon
