XBOX 720 Discussion

Rumor has it that the next model of XBOX will always be online requiring an internet connection even to play single player, and also having both a $500 model and a cheaper "Subscription based model" but let me throw in this vid to site a source;


I think it may suck, but what do you guys think?

Console gaming is dying....

mertesn

So is PC gaming. They've also never been stronger.

If a rumor in a video about something said in a blog quoting another blog about an unverified report from yet another blog about about a source that wishes anonymity gets repeated often enough... it becomes fact.

I don't think even EA would be stupid enough to try thi- OH WAIT.

I'm gonna wait till official word for it gets out then I'll have my two cents about it. history says I probably won't give a dang about it regardless anyways. Xboxes just haven't interested me really.

Next generation console winner?

I believe we upon a paradigm shift in the console gaming market. After years of inflated hardware specs, high cost of ownership and more complicated controls and added peripherals, I think the living room is ready for a "less is more" approach.

I predict Ouya will be huge. Everyone will own one.

@Mertsen - I guarantee the Ouya will sell at least ten times better than the Rift. Icrontic needs a friendly wager function.

I don't think the PS4 and next gen Xbox will catch fire. With their huge corporate investment and commercial marketing machine they will certainly be relevant, I'm not saying they will be utter failures, but when the dust settles and people look back on the "next generation" I think you will see a paradigm shift in how the game is played. It's already happening. Developers are fleeing console development for the more friendly open space of phone and PC publishing. The Ouya being completely open, cheap and accessible to everyone will change everything. Sure, it's graphically less capable, but once it starts steaming games from the cloud (which it will) it won't matter.

A "friendly wager" plug-in, with conditions set by date and mods able to arbitrate would be freaking awesome. Poke @lincoln

Wagering with real cash money or Icrontic points?

BobbyDigi

Oh man to be able to wager Icrontic points would be hilarious.

cola

Start with a certain number of Icrontic Points per month and have an end of month most points scoreboard?

10 times better than the Rift? I seriously doubt it. It won't sell nearly as well as the PS4 or the next XBox. In the living room, people care about ZOMGWTFGRAPHICS, and the already aging Tegra 3 just won't deliver. The brodogs will buy the XBox so they can pop collars and play Madden bro. Halo will also move a huge number of units. The PS4 will have a few compelling titles eventually (Infamous: Second Son . Once new Zelda and Metroid games come out for the Wii U (along with the first price drop), it'll start selling better. All will individually outsell the Ouya.

I woul'd love for the XBOX 720 to have 3 key features
1. Nuke Microphone Noob button (Plays an airhorn through your microphone to blast out the eardrums of mic spamming noobs)
2. Built in recording, vid editing, and streaming capabilities.
3. A cooling system that does not melt down so easily!

PS4 has a share button for 2.

I can't think of a single reason this would be a bad idea.

Not one single reason

None

ZOMGWTFGRAPHICS are possible on limited hardware when leveraging the power of the cloud. It's going to happen, I believe the OUYA will be the platform that will make it mainstream.

"Brodogs" This conversation has sunk to insults? ;*)

Seriously, Madden will be perfectly playable from the cloud. Think EA would not want to get Origin on OUYA?

Nope. Also included Halo babies

Like I said, Ouya will remain a fourth-place finisher behind the other consoles. Everyone else has mega franchise games to sell units. Without such a title, Ouya has a severe uphill battle ahead of them.

AlexDeGruven

Ouya will have it's own market segment and will likely not ever get any full AAA titles (though could get some toned down versions, which might be fine for most).

I like the idea of easily-replaceable $100 units.

Me and my friends use "Dewchugger" for this one.

That's a new one to me
