Xbox 360, deel 13 Kiiiiiiiiiiiing Combo

If we encoded the Dead Or Alive 4 trailer from E3 in high definition in a quality acceptable to us, it will easily be about 2GB. With DOA4, we'll be using the disc's capacity to its full extent. We started development on DOA4 pretty early, and we didn't know what disc format the Xbox 360 was going to adopt. So when we learned about it, we were really knocked out".

Nee, GoW is een 3rd person shooter. De actie speelt zich vanuit een 3de perspectief af. Je kunt je personage op het beeld zien.

Heb je de filmpjes niet gezien?

Wat mis je in de setting? Een loodgieter in een rood pakje en een stel paddestoelen?

Kots je tegenwoordig op settings die je niet interessant vind?

Overigens heb ik wel weer zin een beetje apocalyptische setting

Ik kots helemaal nergens op, het kan een hardstikke vermakelijke game zijn, en het principe e.d staat me ook wel aan, alleen die setting lijkt me gewoon niet veel .

En nee, ik hoef er geen paddestoelen en vraagteken blokjes bij .

RUMOR #3: Xbox 360's central processor will be only be twice as powerful as the current-generation Xbox.

Source: Hardware haven Anandtech.com.

The official story: See below.

What we heard: Early in the week, Anandtech ran an article titled "Microsoft's Xbox 360 & Sony's PlayStation 3 - Examples of Poor CPU Performance" by its eponymous author, Anand Lal Shimpi. The lengthy piece made the claim that both Sony and Microsoft are (shocker) using stats to make their next-gen consoles seem faster than they really are. The article singles out the 360 in particular, saying that "game developers will most likely only be using one of [the 360's three 3.2Ghz] cores for the majority of their calculations." That would mean that the console would run much slower than advertised. How slow, you say? "Right now, from what we've heard, the real-world performance of the Xenon CPU is about twice that of the 733MHz processor in the first Xbox," wrote Shimpi. "Considering that this CPU is supposed to power the Xbox 360 for the next 4-5 years, it's nothing short of disappointing." But is it true? Microsoft refused to deny or confirm the story, even though it gave a more thoughtful response that the usual knee-jerk no comment. "The next generation will not be defined by hardware alone, but by a complete, integrated platform," the company said in a statement. "[The] Xbox 360 will have the hardware, software and services to enable breakthrough gaming and entertainment experiences that will blow consumers away." In the wake of the subsequent furor, Anandtech pulled the story late in the week, giving the appearance (at least) of a retraction, although the article can still be read on Google Groups. One thing is certain: As is the case with any new console, it will take developers time to learn how to use the 360's hardware. And since multicore CPUs are a new, next-gen phenomenon, it is possible some of the first games may, in fact, use just one core. Since the Xbox 360s at E3 were still running off of dev kits, gamers will have to wait until the fall to find out exactly how much the 360 tops its younger brother.

Bogus or not bogus?: We'll see when that sucker hits the market.

Aangezien Gears of War nu al draait (op 1 core dus misschien?) worden de games later nog mooier... ? Of heeft de CPU maar weinig invloed op het grafische plaatje?

It appears that game developers will now be able to test their products on a real XBox 360. According to a report, Microsoft has finally shipped the XBox 360 Beta Kits this week to game developers. Previously limited to producing and testing new games on PCs or G5 Macintosh computers with similar specs to the XBox 360, devs can see first hand just what the new XBox has to offer in power and graphics. Now for the bad news: Microsoft has ordered all development companies with these new XBox 360 Kits to remain silent. This is not surprising. Considering the next-gen console war is heating up, companies will most likely be tight lipped about final specs on their next-gen console to keep on top of the competition. At least now we should start to see true XBox 360 screen shots as developers work to get their products ready for the XBox 360 launch. Thanks to GameSpy for the heads-up.
