Update:

Crytek guy's tweet: http://twitter.com/#!/Cry_SeanT/stat...13741046620160 Enjoying the Durango developers summit in London. So far, great swag and interesting talks. Wonder if he's talking about the same Durango as this thread is...

Sorry if i'm late...

Original:

Kotaku is rumoring that this is what it will be referred to as publicly before they unveil the final name.

The Next Xbox is Code-Named…Durango Kotaku has heard from multiple sources close to the project that the code-name for Microsoft's next console is Durango. Yup. Durango. Note this is a code-name. Like the Katana (Dreamcast), Dolphin (GameCube) and Revolution (Wii) before it, it's not the name that will appear on the finished product when you finally get your hands on one. It is the name, however, that you'll be hearing during the console's final development phase, that awkward time between it being first shown off and then actually released to the public. Interestingly, it seems to also suggest a bit of a pattern in Microsoft's internal naming policies. Kinect, before we knew it as Kinect, was called Natal, named for a city in Brazil. Durango, meanwhile, is the name of one of Mexico's 31 states.

No loop?

[V_Ben]

At last, the gore verbinski game deal makes sense.

[Door2Dawn]

?

[DarkChild]

Sounds...poweful.

[Bullza2o]

?

I was thinking the same thing.

[The Grim Heaper]

Joint deal with Dodge incoming.

[Typographenia]

It's pronounced "doo-rahn-go."



Curious to see the reasoning behind it. Seems an odd choice.
edit: Oh, didn't know natal was a city. Okay, solves that, I suppose.

[iKeepPlaying]

?

Came to say this...

[LiK]

A code name that actually sucks.

[Rimfya]

It's so bad you Durango 360 degrees away ... or something.

[SteveWinwood]

What is it with microsoft and these sw american sounding yee haw names? Remember longhorn?

[StudioTan]

"A bit of a pattern"? I thought they always named their projects in development after cities? Or almost always.

[DaBuddaDa]

Mexico exclusive!

[Gamer @ Heart]

Its also the name of a nice small town in Colorado. Huh.

[AlberichMX]

I was thinking in this:

[GhaleonEB]

?

Yup, likewise.

[shira]

PS4 going 1up 'em right

[Neuromancer]

I like it; I like to imagine a white console coated in a thin film of red trail dust.

Slowtaku indeed. MS have been doing this since man first discovered fire.

[Azure J]

So in other words:



"It's a Dawge."

[Lasthope106]

No mamen pinche Microsoft!

[kameha5th]

[Demigod Mac]

Well, at least it's better than, "Project Midway"

[graywolf323]

not Dango...

[Triton55]

[AceBandage]

So...
The console is going to die horribly until resurrected in an alternate universe?

[Anteater]

not Dango...

Don't worry, I got it!

[Family Fry]

Noooooooooooooooooooooo.
I literally just photobucketed this...

[snack]

Uhhhh...

[whalleywhat]

PS4 going 1up 'em right

Haha, first thing I thought of.

[Like the hat?]

I would have gone with Canyonero

[kameha5th]

Don't worry, I got it!

I Lol'd

[Y2Kev]

My mom had a durango. It's fucking huge. She is 5' and like had major compensation issues. It was so big she couldn't really drive it. Smashed it into things.

Was it the F series?

They're trying to prepare people for the size of the console.

[Y2Kev]

I dunno. It looked like two poos smushed on top of one another.

[SolarPowered]

Sounds extremely phallic. GAF will love it.

PS4 going 1up 'em right

I was literally thinking this right before I scrolled down to this image. GAF never disappoints.

[BlazingDarkness]

Lame name, as was Natal

Ultimately means nothing to us though.

[PinkCrayon]

Power button on one side and a dodge insignia on the other.

[Sotha Sil]

Great taste.

[D4Danger]

PS4 going 1up 'em right

12 yards long, 2 lanes wide! 65 tonnes of American Pride!

could've used that for the original Xbox controller.

[Azure J]

I love this thread so much. :lol

[AniHawk]

always makes me laugh

[-Pyromaniac-]

Wowwww, any thoughts of pre-ordering cancelled with this news. Durango? More like ognaruD.

[frogg609]

That's funny. I like it because I work in Durango (Colorado).

[John Harker]

previous codename updates were named after cities too, like Barcelona

[BHZ Mayor]

It's so bad you Durango 360 degrees away ... or something.

When you see it, you get in your Durango and drive away.

[opticalmace]

Ferd F-teenthousand or bust.
