OK, so coerced two buddies back east into buying or renting DOA Ultimate, and just got off about an hour or so of playing (We were playing Burnout 3 earlier, then I went to get dinner while one of them went out to buy DOAU). I gotta admit - I don't know how they did it, but DOAU seems to play flawlessly across the internet. I only saw two incidents of slowdown - and one of those was when the host quit the game (mid match).
You can have up to eight (I think) players, playing 1 on 1 winner stays matches. The others observe and have full voice capability, so it's startlingly close to having a bunch of friends in your living room playing and passing the controller back and forth. We had three Xboxes, with two people rotating on one of the Xboxes - for a grand total of four people playing.
If you have an Xbox and you have Xbox Live - go buy DOAU - it's just that simple. Then drop me a line - my GamerTag is ChromaticGnu (long story there, I'll tell it some other time).
In other news, my NaNoWriMo wordcount is at 9374. But I need to be over 10K, so I'm going to go fix another another drink and hit the productive words. Y'all be good while I'm gone, hear?
