kinect 2.0 is a looming thing for them lemmings. now it appears so is situational environments. microsoft is working on a 360 degree projector which when placed in the room prjects te environments all around the player (omitting directly beind him). allowing for you to see things using your full eye's allowed motion not just the tv itself.

lolz kinect(lol), should come as no surprise considering MS dropped core to chase the Wii's pot of gold in 2009.

They need to come out of the gate and prove that this tech works in 'core' games, otherwise they are going to lose the large number of people who bought the 360 pre-Kinect.

I am one of those people.

This should come as a surprise to no-one.

Oh well, look on the bright side, Lems-- it will only cost you $600 plus a copy of Windows to get a modern gaming PC.

I think half of the people posting negative remarks didn't bother to look. If MS could pull that off, it would be amazing and you know Sony would scramble to copy it....

And people call Nintendo out for being casual and gimmicky?

@ Bruce that tech actually sounds pretty cool to me. I am just saying the people who bash Nintendo for this are contradicting themselves by supporting this. I like new route gaming is taking.

2 complete no-name websites doing a report on some obscure patent MS makes, and you assume the nextbox is 100% Kinect? Jesus, how thick can you get? Even if the next Xbox is all Kinect, it's not going to be using this technology. MS just patented this, and its incredibly unlikely that this experimental tech has been with Nextbox Dev kits.

Is it me or Are the big 3 going out of their way to make something truly unique that when all is said and done really isn't that well suited for gaming? I like the idea of this, but honestly who here would willingly trade to this and potentially have fewer core games such as the beginning/mid of the gen (concerning teh box)? I'm not saying it will happen, but the change in direction from MS has been rather clear so far and I don't see it changing next gen. Point being - I would personally rather see more actual core games instead of games made with a peripheral in mind.

The projection idea is cute, but I already know it is useless to me given the realities in my house, and the same is pretty much true of every person I know who has a gaming system. Unless you pretty much have an ideal setup, it is going to be little more than a gimmick (not to mention it will have to eat up not only more processing power for the whole room display, but also you'll find yourselves frequently needing new bulbs for the projectors.

neXtBOX will be the best console again. If you use words like "lems", "cows", "hermits", "jelly" then you and your kiddy speak will never be taken seriously. Just so you know.

You are partly correct, they didn't say it exactly like that. They just said they want to take the Xbox brand and make it a centralised media hub which is where their focus will be. This is why they are bringing DVR to the next Xbox.

Microsoft to pair DVR with next Xbox? | Tech Culture - CNET News

But do not worry, the 720 is coming out next year. It will be announed at E3 and launch in holdiay 2013. One of the first games being made for it is Whore of The Orient.

My friend works at GameStop and they have special inside information. I am serious, I saw the list. MS will bring the 720 out next year, I do not know what it's specs are or anything .

There is a reason why MS has no games planned for late 2013. Seriously nothing is coming out for it next year holiday season, all the games for it are coming out early 2013.

Gears Judgement is the last 360 exlusive. See the 360 is a dead system basically, this is why stopped making 1st party for it. The next Xbox is what is important to them now.

Let's just hope MS has better exclusives up their sleeve for next gen. I will make a thread and post a picture of the list I saw when I get the chance. I am not supposed to tell anyone this.

Even nintendo are looking at unifying every device at the operating system level, with the popularity of android devices and cross connectivity it's the smart way to go if you want to make money, think about it, windows 8 will allow you to play xbox 360 games which potentially means more software sales of Xbox exclusives across more platforms, Media hub is the way to go if you want to make money, it's a wise business decision, i am 38 years old and pretty old school to the point where i don't play games online but even i am embracing the idea of cross connectivity, i hook my 360 up to my large TV to watch movies and i constantly have my phone connected to the computer .

Where did I ever say I was worried? Every tool in the shed knows the neXtBOX is coming. What did you think you had a scoop direct from a minimum wage employee or something? Lets hope next gen neXtBOX gets more of the same Halo5, FM 5, PGR 5, Forza Horizon 2 as well as the better running versions of all the multiplatforms and the better online infrastructure and achievement system with more voice activation.

I want to play with a controller, I don't want to be diving around my room playing gears etc. I hope that they don't abandon the controller and I hope they bring the 360 controller back because it works like a charm and is one of the best controllers I have played with.

If MS does go the majority Kinect route, it could either make or break the system. I know none of the people I know really like the idea of Kinect, but that could change if it works right. If implemented correctly I would support it, I just hope they give the option to use a controller too.
