During a conversation with Shane Kim, the new Corporate Vice President of Strategy and Business Development at Microsoft offered very general commentary on the next Xbox console.
When asked if his new role includes looking at how Microsoft is going to transition into the next console, Kim said:
"How [do] you think about next generation? What is that next generation going to encompass? How are you even going to define that? All of that is part of the equation. What kind of geographic expansion do we need to see? Is the world more of an online world than a hardware-oriented world? I think there are some really fascinating opportunities in front of us."
While the statement offers no details, it does suggest that Microsoft is at least exploring the idea of launching a digital system rather than a traditional expensive piece of hardware.
Wolfenstein: The New Order launched 10 years ago today, but can it stand up to the modern FPS titles it inspired?
I disagree. Its still a fantastic game, with very good gunplay and a surprisingly loveable cast of characters and a good story trough many different and interesting setpieces
From school politics to ping-pong, pistols to police procedurals, let’s dive into the best that Rockstar has to offer.
Saif from eXputer inquires, "Despite the everlasting popularity of the genre, why hasn't there been a good AAA horror game in a while now?"
Even when they do it's first person trying to copy Outlast, Five Nights, P.T etc
I think the Dead Space / RE2 / RE4 Remake and the Evil Within 2 showed you can have a good story based, third person survival horror game.
they create a more reliable system next time around.
I guess the folks that disagree don't like reliable consoles, LoL!
There is not going to be a next xbox for the next 6 years at least. It is clear that Shane was just trying to avoid the question by giving a super vague answer.
But the author had to make something out of his arse. Shane never even mentioned anything online. The author made that up by himself.
And wtf is a digital console. Is the author retarded or what. Even flash based games require some form of hardware to run the damn thing.
Massive idiot.
Im tellin ya, it is not smart to release consoles every 5 years anymore because games take too long to make. The current consoles will still be going strong for years to come (except wii) and making a new console will just kill off the potential of the current one. I get excited just like anyone else each time a new console is released, but let this gen run its course first.
Also, I believe the next consoles will probably be all digital, unless this Time Warner thing becomes popular. I personally like my discs.
Does this mean a (gaming)OS only? That would be incredible if I interpreted it right.
if they try to release a new console any time soon when the 360 is still trying to get a lot more sales, big games, and going digital would be another move that could kill MS, DD might be the future but most gamers like to go buy a game have the box create a collection, trade in games, trade games with friends, buy used games, etc. MS would not only hurt themselves but other companies. yeah dont think so about all digital!
