Coming Soon to an Xbox 360 Near You: Lips Title Update and Power Pack DLC
This week, we're excited to announce the new upcoming title update and Power Pack DLC. Over the past few months, we've been listening to your feedback and working hard on a title update to improve the Lips experience for everyone. The new title update includes several highly-requested features and fixes, and implements some significant changes to the scoring system.
First, some key features: the Lips Title Update includes song leaderboards, a mic calibration tool, and a news ticker for DLC announcements and other Lips-related updates.
With the leaderboards, you can now compare your score with those of players across the globe! Compete against your friends and with anybody around the world to get the highest score on your favorite songs.
Delays between the audio and video can put a serious kink in your Lips experience--but fear no more! The new mic calibration tool now adjusts your scoring to account for delay. Now your perfect timing will get that well-deserved Cool! rating!
Want to know what the latest DLC is without leaving the comfort of your Lips home screen? Problem solved: the news ticker now displays the latest and greatest Lips DLC announcements. Just flip over to your Get Music screen and purchase your favorite new tracks from this week's selection. It's as easy as 1-2-3!
Expanding your library with DLC is even easier now with the new title update. Now, downloaded Lips tracks added to your library will automatically be imported into the Sing! menu. How convenient.
Lastly, we wanted to bring your attention to a significant change in the scoring system for Lips. For starters, we've added algorithms to help detect white noise and reduce its impact on scoring, so simply blowing into the mic wont rack up the points anymore. We've also made rap-marker detection more precise than before; no more mumbling your way through "Bust A Move" or "Lip Gloss"--now you've got to enunciate and elucidate. Finally, adjustments to pitch-detection, vibrato detection, and scoop detection have balanced out gameplay that some people have complained is too "easy" or random.
With these scoring changes, people may notice their scores on songs changing significantly, which is why we wanted to give you a heads-up before the newest title update comes out. For a more in-depth explanation of the scoring changes, we'll be posting an article explaining the scoring in the title updated Lips next week.
Until the new title update comes out, enjoy the newest DLC for the week and start brushing up your chops! The time to compete against players from across the globe is almost nigh. Finally, a chance to prove that you are the best Lips singer out there!
