New Texas Hold’em Details
I recently discovered the DreamStation podcast and they have been running a multi-part interview with Ross Erickson, XBLA Portfolio Manager, over the last few weeks. Although the first 2 parts of this interview have been entertaining, they have revealed nothing new. However, while previewing part 3, expected to be available next week, they revealed some of the discussion with Ross involving the upcoming XBLA release of Texas Hold’em Poker.
Apparently, the game will allow up to 8 players at once and will support the upcoming XBox Live Vision camera peripheral. Along with this information, they also revealed that this camera functionality is at least part of the cause of the delay because they are having difficulties getting 8 camera streams to run smoothly…that’s really not that surprising.
We’ll keep you posted on any other news from part 3 of the Ross Erickson interview, but in the mean time, you can listen to the first 2 parts of this interview here.

Awesome, good find. Does anyone else think they should release the Vision camera sooner than September? Do they really expect to have more support for it by the time it comes out? Why not release it now and see what kind of demand there is for it? Then they would know how much to support it. Also, I really hope it doesn’t come with Uno, since I already paid for it. They should just throw in 400 MP.
