Next-Gen Xbox on MTV
 
Thursday, May 12 will be the first showing of the next Xbox and the first footage of the next generation videogames.

http://xbox.ign.com/articles/603/603151p1.html

I don't quite fully understand why the console will make it's debut on the station that is suppose to be music oriented, although obviously not, but it will be cool to see some actual footage.

SuperSlim 04-12-2005 08:02 AM

guess they figure entertainment main stream channel, entertainment mainstream gaming console :?:

Alot of their target audience (18-25 males, or whatever) probably watches MTV. I guess that's what they are thinking.

Kane Knight 04-12-2005 01:19 PM

It's a smart move. They want more exposure, MTV will give them mainstream exposure.

And while you're right that MTV's supposed to be about music, looking at the lineup it's clearly not, and this is on par with the rest of the non-music crap.

Now all they need is some mainstream appeal. Let's see if they can get more than five games that the average fan gives a shit about.

MTV hasn't been about busic since 1990.

DS 04-12-2005 06:55 PM

I know, that's why I said "obviously not". I just found it funny. It's not that I care about it being shown on MTV, I just care about seeing it.

Ourcolony.net, the unofficial teaser site for the next Xbox, put up an image that could be that of Project Gotham Racing 3.

I'll believe it when I see it.

DS 04-13-2005 09:36 PM

I know they have the power...

Jesus titty fuckin christ...

Bad Company 04-13-2005 11:58 PM

That's pre rendered though.

Requiem 04-14-2005 12:10 AM

I don't doubt they're capable of it. The nike commercial using the engine from the xbox, was amazing, and they announced that their system would be capable of much more than that, and would be better.

DS 04-14-2005 12:25 AM

Their are pictures going around of what might be the next Xbox controllers. The only reason they are believable is because of pictures from Ourcolony that look very similar. In the pictures they got rid of the white and black button, as rumored, and look like there are some shoulder buttons over the triggers. Also, there is no slot for the memory cards that hint at the fact that the Xbox 360 will come with an external HDD that can be taken with you. Oh, and they're wireless.

The Nike commercial wasn't using any engine from any of the consoles and Microsoft wouldn't have said anything about the system capabilities like that guy said.

Requiem 04-14-2005 12:26 AM

Ah..

DS 04-14-2005 12:45 AM

The official name, reported by GamesIndustry.biz, is Xbox 360. The console is said to have a concave look, as if it's "sucking in its cheeks". Along with that it will have a white/platinum look to it.

Take it for what it's worth right now but it's a pretty reliable source.

The Cerebral Assassin 04-16-2005 01:41 PM

how the fuck do you get into ourcolony.net?

You have to answer some lame ass question at the welcome page!

DS 04-16-2005 04:25 PM

External HDD? Interesting.

Any word on if you can dock the controllers or anything? I like changing batteries as rarely as I can.

Please, please, PLEASE no stupid shapes!

I really want to see the next XBox be a more viable competitor, but this sounds ugly.

UmbrellaCorporation 04-16-2005 08:17 PM

I absolutely can not wait for the unveiling of the next Xbox.

Or any of the upcoming consoles for that matter. :P

Yeah I was wondering that exact same thing. That would be really nice if it charged up on a stand or something to that sort.

Although if it's like the Wavebird, it wouldn't be all that bad anyway. Still, it'd be nice.

That is a picture of the next generation Madden which EA will show within the first hour of the NFL draft this Saturday. They didn't say what system it was for but with the talk of the Xbox 360 showing, I would guess for that.

Gonzo 04-18-2005 09:09 PM

Haha no way. I'll be watching the draft and if this is real then I'll be amazed.

DS 04-18-2005 09:11 PM

It's on EA's site if you don't believe me. They are putting up a new image every day until then.

Gonzo 04-18-2005 09:25 PM

Oh I believe you. Thats amazing though.

Kane Knight 04-18-2005 09:52 PM

That is amazing. I just hope the XBox gets some more gaming stuff.

I don't want to buy the PS3. I'm sick of flawed systems.

DS 04-18-2005 09:58 PM

The best part about that is that it's from before launch. Just wait 2 year after it's released and think of the graphics then.

UmbrellaCorporation 04-19-2005 05:43 PM

If that's what the graphics look like for Xbox 360, then...


Wow. :eek:

I'm a bit skeptical, but I wouldn't be surprised if they looked at least CLOSE to that. If the Xbox 360 is truly that much better, I'll be impressed. I expected good, but not THAT good.

:drool:

Oh. My. God.

Its cool that it just happens to be my favorite team too.

Shaggy 04-19-2005 11:30 PM

Cant wait to see how this looks.......atleast it has to be better looking then what I heard about the new Gamecube...its supposed to be like a pyramid.

I hear Nintendo changed their logo to "We're not #1 in gaming, but we're gonna kick Sony's ass at shooting ourselves in the foot."

Yeah, but you'd also think they'd choose a larger disc.

AareDub 04-20-2005 06:54 PM

I won't be impressed unless that is in game footage.

Gonzo 04-20-2005 06:56 PM

That is amazing.
