Xbox 3 rumor possible leaked specs.

Dunno if you guys have seen this, saw it over at GAF.
The information, according to the site, comes from a source “very close” to the company.

The story’s also rumouring that the machine is to have a hex-core CPU with 2GB of DDR3 RAM and has been in the works since 2005 – the year Xbox 360 released. AMD is to provide the GPU, according to the piece.

As previously rumoured, Xboxygen says a division called Loop is handling software development on the project, while another team, Infinity, is working on the console itself.

The site has been told to not expect a “huge announcement” with software, but rather “some information on the new console, and some of its capabilities”.

Talk of Microsoft’s next console has gathered pace in the second half of 2011, with chatter beginning in earnest around E3. EA was tipped to have started work on the machine – a story that was quickly denied – with a further two stories pinning a reveal on E3 2012.

Four Microsoft CVs turned up mentions of “Xbox next-gen” in October, with a Develop story later that month claiming Microsoft would show the console for the first time at E3 2013.

CES 2012 runs from January 10-13.

More rumors suggest it could be using a custom double GPU by ATI.

Let's hope they can also take Xbox Live to the next level;

- Proper and full clan support, not per game but as a service on Xbox live. Clan tags, clan matches, clan messageboard, able to join leagues, etc.
- Sharing screenshots/gameclips with your friends
- Able to pre-load games before they release and unlock them on release date
- Full (video) groupchat (expend on the current party chat)
- Full blown sales (like the steam sale)

In other words; They need to take a good look at Steam. If they manage to provide a service similar on their console compared to what Steam provides on the PC I guarantee you the money will come rolling in...

Some people might disagree with me about how good steam is but there's no denying that something like the steam platform is what most of us will be using in the future...

The problem is though; Seeing what a piece of shit MS marketplace/"games for windows live" is on PC, I have a hard time believing they have the skill to pull this off....

It's not a matter of skill, it's a matter of getting over yourself and taking notice at who's already doing it right.


I expect they try to make it more into a media center. That's the direction it seems to be going. More integration with television and pc.

I'd be surprised if they took the time to please the hardcore crowd with the clan details.

Yeah but they have taken notice, trying to get a piece of the pie by launching "games for windows live" and the marketplace. It's just not as good as steam and that's something they need to realize

Yeah I would be surprised too, but I though something similar was already promised for the X360...

bouleted :( i thought it was funny, it is the only thing i could think of a use for group video chat lol

Tinks i thought this gen was meant o be the full media piece of kit

As for hardcore crowd, there more interested in the sales of softcore, well thats how i feel anyway, gears halo and forza is not enough to satisfy my thirst for games.

I just want a new machine, with normal controllers, and yeah put some more horsepower, not that much though, I think Im happy with those in the OP.

Whatever to make run a game that looks like The Witcher 2 looks on high is good enough for me.

:D

high? i want ultra settings at 60fps locked.

I want machines that are easy for the devs to use, so the games are easier to make so the can concentrate on other things like...depth and polishing those bugs.
I want BETAs to have compulsive checks for the user to fill in before they can play, hopefully have less of the "wtf omg this is shit"

720p? i dont want to see that shit all over again, 1080p 60fps locked and no tearing should be the standard up there with cheevos and trophies, it should be a requirement to pass testing.

doubtful. same goes for people who want 60fps as standard. why make your game 1080p 60fps, when you can make it look better at 720 and 30fps? that factor will always remain, no matter how powerfull the consoles get.

With so many devs that cant even hold on to a 720p game these days, I say 720p is a must next gen and anything less can fuck off.
I am talking about stuff like Resistance 3, COD, Halo, Alan Wake...etc.

But I have a 1080p LCD HDTV now and I damn wish they could go and make 1080p native games instead of 720p. That would be great!

And the 30fps vs 60fps, well 60fps is always the standard if they can do it but if they cant, the game better be as amazing as Witcher 2 on High, Killzone 3, Uncharted 3...etc. type of levels, if not better.

Better textures (with no streaming, hello RAGE), good motion blur and not like the unreal games were it looks like disoriented stripes or the one from Lost Planet 2, lensflare (Battlefield 3, Syndicate types), good HDR, bloom, depth of field...etc.
Basically the effects that good looking games like Syndicate, Battlefield 3, Witcher 2...etc. gets.

Dont give us sub-HD with shit graphics like COD. Some games that uses in-game rendering in their cutscenes that looks much better than actual gameplay graphics I would be happy to get something like that.

Also, drop the crappy motion controlling nonsense, though as long as default gamepad is attached I am happy.

Same goes with PS4.
But with PS3, after seeing titles like Killzone 3 and Uncharted 3 I know Sony got some awesome stuff happening, I just hope they make it much more developing friendly so they dont do half-ass jobs anymore.

Hmm nah I don't wana see 720p, I would settle for 1080p @ 30 fps, I imagine these GPU's will have crazy bandwidth especially if MS go the same route they did with Xenos, 1080p shouldn't be a problem in that case.

That being said 720p would be better than sub HD so I guess ill take what I can get lol.
