Part 4 at 1:26 Peter Moore mentions 'Zen of Gaming' and I remember that "lucid dream" line, too :P

Man, it's only when you see those older xbox titles that you truly realize just how far games have come on this generation of consoles.

OMFG listen to the music when that lost odyssey trailer kicks in at 2:43!!!! Think I'm going to replay that game starting tomorrow :D

What's pretty scary is that most of the games and targets shown were actually exceeded by quite a bit this gen.

Don Mattrick at 7 minutes in part 5. Kinda funny how he and moore kinda ended up switching places between EA and MS.

I tell you what, if they did another lost odyssey for 720 it would be an instant sale from me regardless whatever else happened with the console. I think it was one of the best JRPGs this gen and was a better final fantasy game than any final fantasy released this gen.

And yes, they did a reveal on MTV a week or so before E3. They showed a few games off like PGR and condemned. I don't think they showed the console, just announced it with some footage and the name. I remember thats when I first stumbled upon xboxyde as they had high res versions of all the videos for download.

Of course it was. The entire time people were thinking that the REAL final fantasy would come and show up Sakaguchi's titles, when in reality it was Sakaguchi's jrpgs, especially Lost Odyssey, that was more appropriately final fantasy than any of the final fantasy games actually released.

It was due to blue dragon and lost odyssey that I stumbled upon this site when it was called xboxyde. :)

Next Gen Kinect Sensor

System Allocations

On Durango, from the POV of allocations, the NUI architecture is split into two parts.

Core Kinect functionality that is frequently used by titles and the system itself are part of the allocation system, including color, depth, active IR, ST, identity, and speech. Using these features or not costs a game title the same memory, CPU time, and GPU time. These features also provide advantages. For example, the identity system will run across application switches because it is handled by the system, not individual applications, and avoids having to re-engage and sign-in repeatedly.

Functionality used less often has its allocation managed in a pay-per-play model. For example, registering color to depth and active IR (or the other way around) as an infrequently used operation will cost the title some small amount of CPU time.

System Latency

End-to-end system latency for Kinect is measured as the time from light hitting the sensor through to the display outputting an update based on that input. Improvements across the whole system on Durango are expected to remove around 33 ms from the end-to-end time. Kinect’s CPU, GPU and memory usage on Durango are part of the system reservation.

unless the big cheese of RARE fire everyone, including themselves, and then they get replaced by competent designers/artists/coders etc. then i don't think they will ever make something worthwhile.

Does that mean not many resources are used?

That was def only to gain the Japan Market, so dont expect them to do that again this time, the Japan market dose not hold the money/power it once did, now its all about the west markets so expect games that cater to them.

I expect them to do it again, and they better. It helps them get customers they might not normally get, who then go on to purchase other games to occupy their time. It's a wise strategy, and it helped them with Japanese developer support, which has been huge for them this gen. They don't need japan to love them, only Japan's developers.

Also, relating to Kinect, they're saying the new Kinect, because most of its resources are already pre-allocated and set aside, using specific kinect features on the new xbox will not require the same amount of memory, cpu or gpu resources as was the case on the 360. And in specific instances, there will be no impact on resources for games at all. Basically, this new xbox will be what they wanted Kinect to be the first time around. Technically you can't say there is no impact, but you can say that there is no impact that Microsoft hasn't already fully accounted for, and they don't feel it's all that much. Also, with some of the decisions they've made to the core of the OS, things actually become much easier for developers to manage, because there is less for them to concern themselves with.

I'm actually a little shocked that you accept that. I'm surprised Kinect doesn't somehow improve the performance of the Xbox.

Well, it's common sense that if something is reserved or put aside, then there's always a cost. Kinect won't stop the new xbox from being an awesome console, however, unless the games suck, but that's a dif story.

It's kind of odd I started this gen off pretty much only interested in 360 and I'm going into the next one only interested in PS4.

I don't think there is anything at this point that MS could do to sell me on their next box, besides a Blue Dragon 2 announcement and we all know that's not guna happen. (no OP its not lol)
