Msoft: Gay Tony OK, Gay Gamer Tags Not Yet

Kotaku writes: "This fall, an Xbox 360 game will have the word "gay" in its title. But will 360 gamers be able to call themselves gay by then?

During an E3 interview with Microsoft's corporate vice president of Xbox Live software and services, John Schappert, I posed a question that I'd been sent by a reader:"

BadboyCivic5442d ago (Edited 5442d ago )

they would reconsider...
for example:"haha, i just killed ur entire team by myself on search and destroy"...Hater:"ur gay, only F@Gs use juggernaut and noob tube!"

As soon as someone is allowed to put gay on their gamertag they'll be spammed and cursed out and will basically have to mute or block everyone they play with online.

"Letting a gamer identify their sexual orientation on Xbox Live is still in the works. Schappert concluded: "I can say that we are working on that issue."

hmm...perhaps in the future here will be something that says male or female? gay/straight?

SpoonyRedMage5442d ago

It's obvious that the Facebook integration is a way to sidestep the issue as the policy will be:

"Keep it on Facebook, where that type of information belongs."

Don't ask don't tell. Why does everyone need to know you are gay? I don't go around announcing to everyone i'm straight. No one wants to hear about that crap and No one should have to. Xbox is for videogames and media not telling everyone you like dongs.

IQUITN4G5442d ago (Edited 5442d ago )

This is somewhat ridiculous especially if you are actually a gay guy called Tony - you could say that was a little insulting that it's ok to go ahead and single out Tony as the only ok name people can use

Accepting this one instance is what's so daft though even though i do agree that it shouldn't be important you broadcast your details anyway

Don't really care but the whole thing is very stupid

I woupdn't update the game. It doesnt have game breaking issues and I would lose one of the radio stations.

jeromeface1541d ago

steam has removed this option

monkey6021541d ago

"Thankfully, players will seemingly easily be able to update their game to the new version easily by simply installing "

What the fuck kind of sentence structure is that?!

GTA4 was the worst game in the entire series and the only one I've ever truly hated

SegaSaturn6691541d ago

I really liked the tv stations on gta 4. Other than that, I agree. Horrible racing missions.

CrimsonWing691541d ago

I guess they can’t afford editors.

They'll never get rid of how slow and sluggish these games feel. Your character and vehicles feel too heavy. Even on the most powerful rigs. I love how GTAV fixed it though.

Profchaos1541d ago (Edited 1541d ago )

Your character was a mid 30/40 year old personally I felt like he controlled the way most people in that age range move.
And it had better driving physics than v did cars have weight and it felt correct compared to v everything drives like a sports car and turns corners on a dime

DerfDerf1541d ago

The driving physics in GTA4 were far superior to 5. Everyone complains because of the physics engine used but it's one of the things I love about 4

Looking back to 2009 and the action packed Grand Theft Auto: The Ballad of Gay Tony

Nick writes: "If you fancy some GTA nostalgia, and/or want to dive back into the GTA IV package in its entirety, I would say that if nothing else strikes your fancy, The Ballad of Gay Tony should."

One of the very rare cases where DLC was done right. This is what DLC should have been, a proper expansion pack, not what it has become today.

PowerOfTheCloud1650d ago

Right, the dlc's were better than the actual game imo

chrisx1651d ago

Ballad of gay Tony was great

"A recent update also added a fully functioning casino that requires players to use real money, in order to buy fake money, then gamble it!" This is not true, again this is a bullshit narrative being pushed, which is furthest from the truth.

PoSTedUP1729d ago

Ill always like 3 the best. Still play it till this day.

CertifiedGamer1729d ago

Grand Theft Auto 3 is the game that made it into a console selling game so that's why its my number #1
