Microsoft is currently exploring "hundreds" of concepts for original Xbox One TV programming, corporate vice president Phil Spencer told Bloomberg in a new interview.

"They have literally hundreds of ideas that they are incubating right now," Spencer said from the 2013 Tokyo Game Show. "We will have some new announcement for TV shows coming pretty soon."

Separately, Spencer told Reuters that Microsoft is "very close" to announcing some of these initiatives. He described these as "Nancy projects," referencing former CBS Television Studios president Nancy Tellem, who was brought on last year to lead a Los Angeles production studio creating "interactive and linear content for Xbox and other devices."

Some of the Xbox One-exclusive TV content in development will be unrelated to games, Spencer said. However, he explained, "I do think there will be a certain level of interactivity to what we do."

The only Xbox One TV programming announced thus far is the Halo showproduced by Saving Private Ryan director Steven Spielberg and theupcoming Quantum Break show that will tie in to the game.

The Xbox One launches in 13 territories across the world on November 22for $500.

Microsoft and Capcom Vancouver have released new details about the online co-op mode for Xbox One launch title Dead Rising 3.

In the online mode, players can jump in or out of a friend's game at any time. All progression and experience points achieved in a friend's game will carry back to their own game, Microsoft said.

In addition, all missions completed in a friend's game will also be registered as "complete" in their own, making it so players will never need to go back and replay a co-op mission.

In Dead Rising 3's co-op mode, players will drop into the boots of Dick, a "wise-cracking trucker." According to his description, Dick sees Dead Rising 3 main character Nick Ramos as his best chance of escaping Los Perdidos alive and will play a "key role" in the story.

In addition to detailing Dead Rising 3's co-op mode, Capcom also revealed "Super-combo Weapons" for the game. This new tier of combo weapons requires at least three components to craft and features "unique abilities that let you decimate crowds of zombies with devastating effect."

Examples provided include the Ultimate Powershout (a concussive horn made of traffic cones), the Ultimate Grim Reaper (a flaming scythe made of a katana sword, scythe, gas canister, and mask), as well as the Massive Bomb, described as a mini-nuke that obliterates all zombies close by.

Dead Rising 3 is an Xbox One-exclusive and will be released as a launch title for the platform on November 22. Its gameworld is larger than the first two installments combined.
