Video game guides may be getting a massive upgrade.
A new patent filed by Microsoft's Director of Games Platform Strategy Andre Vrignaud (via Siliconera) reveals the company has been developing a new, in-game guide system for the Xbox 360.
The patent would allow players to access a database of tips and tricks while playing a game through Xbox Live. Players can then author their own guides by capturing screenshots, video clips and even add audio commentary. Developers will also be allowed to author their own guides, which can be featured higher than user-created ones.
This system would be a welcomed feature, particularly in games that require a lot of collecting. Think about how much time you would have saved if you didn't have to keep getting up and going to your computer to see what pigeon in Grand Theft Auto IV is next on your hit list.
