Dark_Raven Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 Nah. MS might as well give up consoles and do what they do best, computer technology. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pidesco Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 I don't get it. If the Xbox 360 has this awesome hardware, why wasn't the console released with software fully supporting its capabilities? Furthermore, they probably will have to release new devkits so that developers can actually use the snazzy hardware features. And, of course, this means the devs will need more time to learn how to properly use the new devkits, thus delaying countless games. So, what was MS waiting for?

Gorth Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Yes! Open your DVD Drive and the Pizza comes out. Wasn't it olnly the old xboxes who had problems with running that hot ? Still, an upgradeable xbox sounds to me like a cheap (albeit powerful for the price) pc “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

Llyranor Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 In a forum section where the majority probably doesn't even give a crap about any of the consoles, he's being quite successful.

Hurlshort Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 I own a 360, and I'm not all that impressed by this. I also think those screenshots are heavily doctored.

Judge Hades Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 I think it would be stupid of Microsoft to release the console and devkits if the games being made weren't being made using its full hardware capabilities. This is just another marketing ploy if not an outright lie. If indeed ATI had created hardware that can make use of Direct X 10 they would have made it in a video card to up against Nvidia so they can get the drop on them when Vista is released. Sorry, Epiphany, but I do not believe you nor the article you linked to. It makes no sense and has no credibility. YOU LOSE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judge Hades Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 Exactly. This is just some stunt they are pulling due tot he fact that the Wii and the PS3 is going to be released soon. Just more marketing spin and bull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LostStraw Posted August 17, 2006 Share Posted August 17, 2006 The Xbox 360 is not fully DX10 compliant and wont support all the features, but it does support some, and it also supports a few that wont be in DX10 (the first release anyway). What does the soundbite from the speech mean? I have no idea -- maybe MS is just now finishing up the API that will let developers make full use of the Xenos' features.

Surely if the hardware is already designed, they would have an idea on what the API is going to do to help lessen the downtime. According to this, Xenos isn't even built to WGF2.0 spec though, and a big advantage it has is that "the API can be tailored to expose all of the features of the chip." This is where Xenos has an issue in that its features and capabilities are clearly beyond the current Shader Model 3.0 DirectX9 specification while it lacks features that are expected to be a requirement for WGF2.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
