Llamasoft Is Back - On Xbox 360

WALES, 17 May 2005 - Jeff Minter's Llamasoft is proud to announce that it is returning to the forefront of the gaming world with a cutting-edge music visualisation system designed for Microsoft's Xbox 360.

Based on Llamasoft's proprietary graphics technology entitled Neon, the Llamasoft visualiser comes pre-installed and is driven both by beat detection and by joypad control. It can be left running on full automatic to provide a music-driven display, or for the full interactive experience players can take control of different aspects of the display - camera, patterns and effect generators - to create a compelling and hypnotic lightshow.

The results have to be seen to be believed: swirling, abstract, multi-layered imagery at a rock-solid frame rate and of a quality that's streets ahead of every other music visualisation system available. You've never seen anything generate live visuals like this - even if you're a professional lighting director.

The new Llamasoft visualiser will redefine the music visualisation genre. It's better-looking by far than every other vis package, and it delivers precision fingertip control of a kind that no-one else has even considered before but which is so intuitive that anyone can pick up the basics in seconds. Play your favourite album on your Xbox 360, pick up a controller and jam along visually to the music.

You'll never see music in the same way again.
