Illumaroom is missing so that might be the dropped area or it might be the cloud gaming section as the dragon appears to be more related to something social to me.
But the placement of the games and such is a good sign and does seem to give me the feeling of a man wearing Virtual Reality glasses

Yeah I know. But since Durango is probably going to run Windows 8 I thought, I would keep it simple. Off topic, Blue is going to be a major shift for Microsoft.
Lol thank fuck for that. I'm still pissed Nintendo did.
There's no way. That would be completely insane to do to third party developers, because they'd always have to build two seperate control methods for each of their games. It's just not feasible, and I don't think MS wants that future anyway. I think we're going to see Kinect stuff, but they're going to remind us that they still make games like Gears of War: Judgement, Halo 4, and Forza Horizon.
-----------------
Also, not to go to far off of the topic, but holy shit am I disappointed in people for not giving Forza: Horizon a chance. It's probably my favorite racer of all time at this point; all of the features in it make it so fun and accessible. I feel like the rewind feature turns it into a chess match instead of a "well, I crashed so let's start this 7 minute race over again" kind of game.
EDIT:
Oh shit I didn't even realize that...

I really hope so. This generation is the first one (since the dreamcast) that I skip a home console because it is too similar to one I already own. If the PS4 and the Nextbox offer different experiences for real, I'll probably own them both and be happy about it.

Forza was not only a great game but had some technical things going on under the hood that need to be studied very closely by anyone interested in optimizing an running a game.

User "Fleshfeast" noticed that MajorNelson has a tweet asking people to spread the word about Microsoft recruiting. Which leads to this website:http://www.rightnowatmicrosoft.com/xboxbeyond .. which you can dig further into and find what looks to be Xbox Jesus.
Makes a great avatar.
I bought both in the end, but I didn't get a PS3 until like last Summer. The 360 was pretty much all I needed because of all the great games out. and I figured I could reap the PS3's exclusives come the end of the cycle. But yeah, I miss not having the feeling of "oh shit I must have this console too!" I did with the Xbox, GC, and PS2.
What bullshit. It deserved way more sales than it got. I hope Project Gotham Racing is very similar to it.
I'm not counting it out but...it's just so lofty of an idea at this point. Really crazy stuff.

If we are to believe the old leak about the Xbox strategy, I think the out of frame link could represent the fortaleza glasses, with things getting "out of the screen". (I'm still having a hard time believing that part of the leak... but everything else makes sense, even the "set top box" model seems coherent with the description on the website).

I am assuming that MS is continually following their Powerpoint. Illumaroom, cloud, distance services. Nothing they have done has shown anything otherwise. Glasses were also in that powerpoint and that is exactly how it looks on the avatar. In fact looking back it is really a true roadway for how they have been doing things and its something I have been referring back to many times. They may change small things but MS seems to have stuck doggedly to their plan.
MS seems to have a clear plan.
Kinect-Cloud-illumaroom-VR I think if anyone looks at those 4 things and thinks about it...you can see a very real picture emerge.
Not a Jellyfish
but I am a sheep
I would like to see support for the rift but I feel that is something you save for E3.
Then again wearing the goggles and using a kinect at the same time would look hilarious on stage.
Shit it's happening, fits the tone of the last couple conferences.

I'm not sold on cloud gaming at all. I don't believe we're anywhere close to having a sufficient broadband capability to allow for flawless cloud gaming. This is based on my experience with Online though, so the technology may have improved significantly since.
It's certainly interesting, but unless it's cloud gaming, I think it's unlikely. Still, would be interesting to see such a thing happen.

Or it could be the Illumaroom which fits that even moreso currently.
You bet it did. One thing about MS is I don't think the lower sales will stop them from trying to figure out a way to refresh that IP(Forza H)

Oh yeah! Wow, that picture even has the little lines going from Halo with little bubbles of devices and features.
This shit is all coming true, isn't it? But if we go off by that plan, doesn't that mean those VR glasses arrive far off from the Nextbox's launch? The way they're marketing this stuff with that picture, it feels like it's coming at launch.

XBOX BEYOND almost works as a console name.
And my word, the fears of some people in this thread are really out there. No controller in the box? Microsoft is aiming for a large audience but knows the early adopters will be gamers. It will come with a controller.

Yeah, that's what I like as well. I think they probably know they just failed on the marketing side of the thing, not the actual content of the game. I mean that game should be just as big as Forza 4. It looks just as good, it has a lot of the same features, and it's a lot more accessible and lighter in tone. It should have been their last huge, huge seller.
It was us! It was us the whole time. *cries*

Launch with.
Or launch packed in?
Launch with is more likely. Launch packed in would raise the price, depending on their type of Vr glasses setup.
Illumaroom would actually be more likely to launch with if it used a low cost wide ap projector.
MS would have to handle their sales with extreme care as the Kinect is pretty much the sole successful periphrial. At least that I can remember.

Is someone creating a thread for Xbox Jesus? Discussion is stunted due to this large thread.
No, I meant packed in. Like I said it would make sense about what Pachter said about the Nextbox costing more. I think he knows the next Kinect is Kinect 2.0 and Kinect Glasses or whatever they'll be called, but he can't say anything explicitly.

So what the odds will see a new Star wars 1313 demo running on 720 at this event?
What is the status of that game? I wonder if Disney is still interested in that game? Would be a cool pick up for sure though.
Karak

If MS is like any other box maker and handles things the way they should.
We should see the same kind of thing unfold here that we saw at Sony but with a couple more months polish and most likely some of the same games and some newer ones. Star Wars is a contender for sure a different location for Watch Dogs, possibly a bit more from Deep Down with a different location.

No way they could pack it in, it is probably very expensive, and it's not a feature that everybody would want or use.
The 2014 roadmap makes more sense, it would be a "relaunch" like for kinect.
Why am I starting to believe all of that ? Hype hype hype...
If that's really true, I hope they'll have a prototype onstage at E3.
Karak
Member
I think they would treat it like a Kinect 2 relaunch. Not a pack in. Both really are for gamers more than anyone else and their current costs would seem to high to burden on a release of a system.
I am sure Disney are pulling out of packaged games. So it is up in the air.
Karak
Member
Make it somehow a tie in game to the first new movie?
And what you do you mean out of packaged games? To digital?
Oh I do as well but I do not think the technology for either is mature enough to pass on cost savings in manufacturing to get say 3-5 million units packed into release systems. I could be wrong but we aren't hearing major firms talking about fabbing these products yet either.
It was us! It was us the whole time. *cries*
He whispered, My precious child,
I love you and will never leave you
never, ever, during your trials and testings.
When you saw only one set of footprints
it was when I was out of range of the Kinect Sensor."
If memory serves me right.
