Bomberman
Live XBLA Title Update Now Available
A free title update is now available for
Bomberman Live. The update addresses issues some players have experienced and
tweaks other aspects. Here are just some of the many improvements players can
expect to see:
- Costumes come correct: If users have Bomb-Up
Pack 2, but not Bomb-Up Pack 1, costume changes now save correctly. - Less waiting between matches: The in-between
match timer has been reduced to 20 seconds and is now visible to users. - No more power-up lag: Previously, due to
network lag, some power-ups that had already been picked up by one user
remained on the ground on another user’s screen. This is no longer the case.
- Know what you’re getting yourself into: Users
can now preview match settings from the game lobby. - Brag for a minute: Online end of match screens
now show gamerpics instead of Bomberman heads. There’s also a timer of 60
seconds for the winner to brag. - 1 bomb + 1 bomb = dangerous bomb: Kicking two
bombs together now makes dangerous bombs more often. - Over six figures of bombing: Leaderboards now
show numbers beyond 100,000. - Plunder some more: Scavenger can now be turned
on for the "Plunder Isle" level.
