http://www.gamebandits.com/news/xbox-360/xbox-720-amd-claims-avatar-like-visuals-for-next-generation-09594/

looks like while Nintendo's Wii U still stick to the innovative gaming environment + acceptable graphic, , M$'s next gen console direction is still pushing the horsepower to an extreme path. ------>

"Robison also mentioned that the A.I. and physics capabilities of the next-gen hardware will allow for every pedestrian in a game such as Grand Theft Auto or Saints Row to have a totally individual mentality, meaning when you shoot a gun or run someone over they don't all just do the same thing. There will be no more mob mentality, where everyone just screams and runs away; every NPC will actually be an individual character."

rumor indicate that next xbox's spec will be 6 core cpu, dual GPU and 2G customized DDR3 ram( ram amount seem legit)

Considering what we have right now is essentially running off of 04-05 tech, and comparing a 7800gtx to even a hd6850, I believe it.

Oh, yeah, I remember reading about that somewhere. In that case, well, let's hope we get at least 10% close to it. :D

it took 4000 servers measuring 10k sq ft with a total 35,000 cores to render Avatar NOT IN REALTIME. Each frame probably takes a couple hours to render. Cameron said that some frames took up to 50hrs to render. Lets not have a repeat of the PS3 super computer BS.

Hopefully each game's story won't be limited to an Avatar level of quality. Take that James Cameron.

Have we even reached Toy Story graphics??? I still think next xbox console will be more powerful than most people think. I don't think MS is dumb enough to completely ignore what got them here.

If those specs are true, don't be suprised if we see repeated disasters like the Great Chicago Fire due to Xbox 720s bursting into flames. It's gonna make RROD look trivial in comparison

If they make this, even if it's $599 I'm buying it day one no questions. Paying a few months in advance and waiting outside for 14 hours.

True, but I think it is mostly cows hoping MS is going to fully jump into the casual market. I think they will try to appeal to both audiences considering third party devs are not completely on board with Kinect.

No we haven't. Toy Story uses true curves (aka NURBS) while no modern game uses them. Instead they now try to increase poly-counts on finer details with hardware tesselation.

The weakest console won the gen, MS and Sony may have noticed this lol.

Its all about family titles and kinect now, next gen consoles will not be much more powerful then current and the release lineups will all include fitness/dance titles.

Although I dont doubt next Xbox will have better visuals compared to current-gen consoles, I dont think these will be even close to Avatar-like visuals..
