Absolutely no way of verifying the authenticity of this, but it's definitely interesting enough to be discussed.

Over the on the 4Chan boards a user has put up an image of what appears to be the Xbox 360's version of "Home", also incorporating the Avatars that were rumored earlier this month.

Looks horrendous.

NinjaFridge · (06-26-2008, 11:16 PM)

It will probably come out before Home and do everything Home is suppose to.

Bad art!!

That's really clever btw, gamerpad.

It seems that they're combining Mii's with Sony's Home...

MS has no taste though, so I say this is legit.

bistromathics · (06-26-2008, 11:17 PM)

i'm still not entirely sure who is asking for this 'web 3.0' stuff.

FlyinJ · (06-26-2008, 11:17 PM)

I wonder if they'll release a working D PAD in celebration

typo · (06-26-2008, 11:17 PM)

This has to be the worst generation of video games EVER.

Darunia · (06-26-2008, 11:17 PM)

what a day

this looks terrible, I hope it's fake

bjork · (06-26-2008, 11:17 PM)

Could be good, I'll wait and see.

Farnack · (06-26-2008, 11:17 PM)

"Hay guyz! Lez smash Mii's and Home together."

This is atrocity.

Xenon · (06-26-2008, 11:18 PM)

Nothing phallic about that, nope not at all

OatmealMu · (06-26-2008, 11:18 PM)

Marketing execs.

FFChris · (06-26-2008, 11:18 PM)

Oh noes.

Fantastical · (06-26-2008, 11:18 PM)

Yes! This is just what we need! Hideous Mii rip-offs in a hideous Home rip-off! THIS IS AWESOME!

Haha yeah. It all seems a little redundant to me, but whatever.

_leech_ · (06-26-2008, 11:18 PM)

Looks like something for the Wii2... except "GamerPad" sounds too edgy.

DECK'ARD · (06-26-2008, 11:18 PM)

The videogame industry is currently like a snake eating it's own tail.

GhaleonEB · (06-26-2008, 11:19 PM)

Please be fake.

Please be fake.

Actually, this would be hilarious.

Please be real.

How do you expect them to navigate a 3rd person 3d environment? Is Splinter Cell "Mii's combined with stealth"? GTA "Mii's combined with murder simulation"?

CowboyAstronaut · (06-26-2008, 11:19 PM)

I definitely support this move. Good things come from competition and I've always been impressed with Home so it doesn't surprise me to see Microsoft attempt to take a page out of Sony and Nintendo's book with this one.

Nif · (06-26-2008, 11:19 PM)

Looks like an XNA project. :/

antiloop · (06-26-2008, 11:19 PM)

We are all going home. *sings*

knitoe · (06-26-2008, 11:21 PM)

NO to HOME.

NO to GamerPad.

NO to any virtural chat space.

Just give me simple fast UI so I can quickly get to games and other things.

Looks bad enough to be real.

Could be an interesting E3..Nintendo possibly focuses more on the core gamer and Microsoft makes its bid for teh casualz

Guy Legend · (06-26-2008, 11:21 PM)

2real4tv · (06-26-2008, 11:22 PM)

It would be funny if the character turn around and it was a scary monster

Nolan. · (06-26-2008, 11:22 PM)

Hmmm this is so wacky I want it to be true.

Seriously. I don't care about Home and I sure as hell don't care about this

Shearie · (06-26-2008, 11:23 PM)

I think it's time for Dyack's official one-console future.

Desi · (06-26-2008, 11:23 PM)

I like the 1st grade looking drawings for backgrounds (no lie). But the character seems to close to the screen.

I am licking my lips in anticipation of going through old threads and having some fun :)

Hope everyone can remember their lines from last year

The kicker is, GamerPad might be the reason we had no Dashboard update this spring - resources were focused on this. So instead of getting an update which addresses some feature gaps, we get GamerPad.

MaizeRage25 · (06-26-2008, 11:26 PM)

Oh, I hope not.

Actually even that has already been done, HSG4

SupahBlah · (06-26-2008, 11:26 PM)

I can see them announcing it at E3 then pulling an Apple and saying available now!

But yeah if its real someone's getting fired for this leaking. Skulls be cracked.
