From Denis (of Load Inc.) on the Xbox.com forums:

Quote:
"News from the dev side is not good. We have discussed the multiplayer reinvite (and lobby) situation and agreed that we can't come up with a viable solution as of right now.

Don't get me wrong. That's not a 'no', but we're heading this way."

While that sucks, will it stop you from buying "Encore"?

I mostly play offline, so it didn't affect my choice.

 

Interestingly, your medal totals carry over to the new content. I was finally able to get the "Gold Struggle" achievement that alluded me for weeks.

I don't understand why there isn't a "Lobby" system built into Xbox Live. Not only would it help unify things a bit more, but it could enable multi-session tournaments for practically any game.

Here's hoping for the next Xbox.

I completely agree. Considering how at one of the developers confrences, MS was showing off a built in library that had clan support.

Having a standard Live lobby system would be fantastic, as upgrades to the system would bring new life to old games. Imagine if this had used such a built in system then with the next Dash upgrade, microsoft enables an external web site that allows you to set up tournaments? Or check out your stats online.

I completely understand that smaller developers don't have the resources to do this kind of thing, but Microsoft sure as hell does.

So I agree with Tomacco. The main problem is that the developers are loseing business by not haveing a lobby. I know a lot of people that have told friends not to download it becuse it does not have a lobby. Being able to intigrate the same people you play other games with into a fun new game with ease is a huge selling point and i am sure i would persuade my friends to buy it. Figure out a way to do it or get on microsofts ass. I would figure out a way to do it and sell it for millions of dollars. HEHEHEHE Oh yeah, I hate BUTT MONKEYs!!!!!!!!!
