Title: Photo of Xbox 2
Post by: shmokes on April 21, 2005, 09:01:20 pm
It's not very good, but here is a photo of Xbox 2 (or at the very least a portion of Xbox 2)

Its a real pic off that new whateveryoucallit reality game for xbox360.LIke the halo campaign.What it is however isnt known.It may just be an addon or something.

Let me rephrase...i'll be in the first group to physically see it and play it before anyone else who doesn't attend e3, which is the majority.

"Then why do I have this photo and not you?"

Because you have the internet, and someone else has photoshop or paint.

That picture looks strikingly similar to my wife's vacuum cleaner with the handle  removed.

IGN reported this picture aswell.

Whats with the guy swearing its authentic?

XBOX 360 is such a lame ass name.

Post by: shmokes on April 22, 2005, 01:31:02 pm
I'm just messing around.  I'm sure it IS authentic.  It's obviously Microsoft running the ourcolony.net website.  It is definitely a picture of Xbox 2 or an Xbox 2 peripheral.

What do you do for the videogame industry caffinefiend?  Whatever it is you seem to take a lot of pride in it.  I would imagine that there are focus groups, hardware developers, game developers,  upper-level people at game publishing firms and journalists from major game publications that will all get handson time with Xbox 2 before me.  What do you do for a living?

It actually looks like a shot of the confermed dev machines..
Title: Re: Photo of Xbox 2
Post by: shmokes on April 22, 2005, 05:24:38 pm
The dev machines are just Apple G5's with dual processors, 512 MB or RAM and an ATI X800 based videocard.  They sport the usual aluminum mesh case that all G5's have.

Pretty comical for a Microsoft Product to be made with development machines running a Mac OS.

I think that might be the real thing.  The picture up top could be the black part that sticks out on the left side of that last photo.  And there are some fairly reliable sources confiming that last pic.

It's going to sell for $500+

No way.  It would be an automatic failure.  They'll have two versions.  One will be a $300 barebones version that will play all the games, the other will be a $400 version that will include WebTV and probably media center capabilities.

thats a render, not a photo

secondly

i am not part of the mtv extreme sports generation of losers and halo addicts who don't know about pc gaming and how we've played better than halo for years now...

so i will not be purchasing the next xbox

and yes...I am important in the industry...well "important" has it's definitions...in the grand scheme of things i'm not...

Is that you blueoakleyz?

Get off your high horse.  Most here are past the age of your "MTV generation".  For supposedly working in the "industry" you sure have nothing but negative things to say about it.  In fact, most of your posts seem to be nothing but whining about how this system sucks or that game sucks.

You work at a store.  You don't make, publish or do anything with games save for ringing them up at the register.  You're not as important to the video game industry as you think.

psp = poorly built... at work we had 25 out of 300 come back, which is a high percentage...broken square button, air bubbles in screen, 5 pixels in a row stuck on yellow...

WTF... You've said yourself you work at EB Games... although I seem to remember you saying you were "still in the system" meaning you quit or got fired.   Get over yourself kid.

And BTW... he's not blueoakleyz.    caffinefiend = dreamcastninja..... not that that is much better.  He's admitted to that before on the board too, but I'm sure he'll give a 15year old response to that too.

Thanks for clearing that up.  I knew I recognized the attitude somewhere I just wasn't sure if it was blueoakleyz or subzero23.

I was wrong... he IS dreamcastninja.  I just did a quick search cuz when you said that, I questioned myself.

They're all just huge tools in my mind, so I'm sure you can understand how I got them confused :)

Well...I DO care what it looks like.  The Xbox currently sitting in my living room is an eyesore, for example, while the Gamecube looks like a piece of art deco and the PS2 looks like a nice piece of industrial artwork.

But mainly, it's fun.  There are new systems coming out and it's exciting.  Why do you think movie companies make teaser trailers a year before the movie is released that don't show a single scene from the movie?

I don't know.  Dreamcast came out first and had a significant head start.

Basically, though, Sony probably doesn't have a choice.  Even if their hardware can be ready in time for a Holiday '05 launch they can't launch without software.  They need to have a slew of titles available, including AT LEAST one killer app.  they also have to be prepared to have more software releasing with regularity, at least a few big titles per month.  If they rush the development of the software and debut with a bunch of unpolished crap they will practically be asking to lose their place as market leader.

If i can find the link again, theres something about the Hard drive version being backwards compatable..
