Although from Italian Eurogamer, still nothing more than a rumor:
Insider talking about next Xbox, rumored to hit the market in Spring 2017 ("Xbox Pro")

If Sony decides to actually launch an improved version of its console, Microsoft will be watching or propose at the same time a more powerful platform even able to overcome the PS4 Neo performance?

According to a source of insider xrays , Xbox Next is reality and will be announced in a separate event during E3. Of course the source is anonymous and is not absolutely 100% reliable but what we present below could prove quite interesting (although some data, such as the power of the console, really seem very credible). Here is what the anonymous source would reveal insider:

"I've got to read some slides from Microsoft and AMD about the new Xbox, and it is in effect a new model, not a remake of One. They should announce this year at a separate event from E3 2016, but still a few days before the fair. the announcement will be made ​​this year but the release of the Xbox next is not expected before next spring, to read the roadmap. it will be open to change hardware, I did not understand if via upgrade or if they spoke of changes that will operate on the fly, before the release. it will be extremely powerful from the start, i think 5-6 times PS4 Neo, then something in the order of over 10 TFLOPS or so. "

"I can guarantee that the new Xbox One is in pre-production, AMD has signed three new agreements for this year and one last year. What the past year concerned the tax for the Slim model of One SoC, what this year covers three big industry, Microsoft including for the new console. Four agreements, three only for this 2016 ".

"One was a definite step forward as chipset, still it has not been exploited even at 80% and there are still room for improvement to get the most from the current consoles, but talking with the Xbox team developers has noticed have focused too much on innovation and less on strength, then i can tell you even now that will be a cross between one and a stark PC, if we count the numbers. i mean that everything will be balanced, as the current One, but each element will be provided with great power starting from the system to the integrated HBM DDR4 memory in GPU. There will be the exhaust chip, but for the lazy dev you can also bet on the computational power without incurring large compromises, the the opposite situation to that of One. Panos Panay is overseeing the project and aesthetics of the console, I think it will be amazing. "

"The chip is based on Arctic Island family of AMD's 14-nanometer FinFET or Polaris-11 Vega, GCN 4.0 in production for this summer, will be custom-class, x86-x64 and always backward compatible with either 360 with One, in fact, the operating system will always be virtualized; Win10 Redstone 2 is the core of the operating system of choice. it will be sold at a loss, these two years are working, almost immediately after the arrival of One ".

"I've heard that Spencer and the entire team wants to leave as soon as possible for the one spot he had with the old leadership, as if to mean a" start from here like a zero year for us and for Xbox. "They were not kidding, from which even the decision to end the production of Xbox 360 to focus on the new model. "

Lionhead: The inside story: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2016-05-12-lionh...


Sad, just fucking sad. I'm still hopeful that we'll actually get a Fable 4, but it looks like back in 2012 Microsoft Game Studios had lost faith in Peter Molenuex and the Fable franchise as a SP campaign driven game. They rejected a really cool concept for Fable 4 and instead pushed the free service concept for Legends. In fact they begged Microsoft for the budget and the time to do a legit Fable 4.

But what's even more ridiculous about the canceling of Legends and the closing of Lionhead is that they were almost finished. So Microsoft just throws away $75 Million dollars and doesn't even try to salvage the assets into a working title?

There's also alot of backround on the numerous titles that Microsoft funded for Moleneux. Titles he obviously never finished. But Microsoft just kept pouring money into all of his concepts, with literally no return on their investments.

I really wish that Spencer could have saved this studio from what was unfortunately a project they didn't even ask for. Gezz. MGS, Moleneux, failed concepts, failed projects, millions lost. It really looks like a series of unfortunate events finally came to a head.

It seems to me that Microsoft is sort of no longer interest in publishing F2P games. They abandoned publishing Gigantic and now Fable Legends. I still can't believe it cost them $75 million though I would take that figure with a huge pinch of salt

Why? It was a pretty big project and it had been in development for years. A lot of people seemed to enjoy it too! Abandoning F2P seems foolish.. but hey at least Gigantic has a slim chance on the PC now :D

Lionhead cost too much to maintain. Better to gut the studio and give their IPs to startups.

That's how they do.

A lot of people? really? The game hardly received any press for the past God knows how long before it was cancelled and its beta barely generated any interest. It was clear people were not interested in the F2P model for Fable and Microsoft made a BIG mistake not sticking with just Fable 4. They have basically ruined the IP with both Journey and Legends. That $75 million figure would have been better spent on Alan Wake 2!

Yes. There was a decent amount of positive forum chatter about the beta. A lot of people playing it seemed to enjoy it. I didn't realize that was measured by press coverage. Microsoft didn't market the game enough for it to generate more interest. Maybe it would have flopped, but impressions were generally positive.

It was one of their big cross-play demos too. So was Gigantic.

Customizable controller colors and engravings is genius. They're going to make an absolute killing off this.
