OXM rumor: Gearbox developing Halo 4 as launch title for next Xbox

Arsenic13 - 489 days 1 hour ago

This doesn't really say that the 360 is being phased out soon. The next game is just slated for the next Xbox. I think its a good job, maybe Halo can finally be a serious and more engaging game.

Hmm !! could be better or worse. Either way its good for me 'coz i really tried to like halo but its just didn't appeal me. I played Halo 1 for about 2 hours and I gave up. Didn't even try 2 or 3. If the game mechanism is different on 4, i might give it try again. After all its such a big franchise. Now, I am not saying Halo is bad game, in fact it is great game. Most of my friend, they are in love with Halo series. I just have different taste when it comes to FPS.

XboxOZ360 - 488 days 23 hours ago

There is a distinct difference between a "life cycle" of a gaming console, and a "viable sales period before new tech being included"

The first Xbox was simply designed as a stepping stone to introduce the platform to developers, and most importantly, to get XboxLIVE off the ground and in peoples home PRIOR to releasing the 360.

Which btw, was being designed and built from as early as 2003, not long after the 1st-Gen Xbox was released in Nov 2002. The x720 began its life two weeks before the release of the 360 in Nov '05 (US release) when the main team was split in half. Half went with J Allard onto the ill-fated Zune Project, the other half went straight into the designing and building of the x720 (seems that's the official code name for it btw). Source: Opening The Xbox and Xbox 360 Unleashed by Dean Takahashi.

The "Life Cycle" of the 360 is around 10 years, MS has said this and they mean it, but that does not mean a new console will not be released during that time, which in turn has its own life cycle, so that each overlap the other. There needs to be overlap to allow for merging of games from one to the other, so that developers get to grips with one and then have time to get to know the new one, rather than waiting 10 yrs and then making a new console.

The next x720 should be with ups as early as Nov '09 or as late ast last financial quarter of '09, which is early 2010.

The new unified GPU/CPU motherboard called Valhalla will be the motherboard for the x720 and is earmarked for release in that window just mentioned. That would fall inline with Gearbox working on a Halo Project (FPS) and allow both the game and the x720 time for development.

Please don't confuse life cycle with development cycle. The two are completely different, and need to treated as such. We can't have such a long period between design cycles now as we once had, if they did (Sony, MS, Nintendo) they would be behind the eight ball within a few years to a point they simply couldn't catch up.

The older release cycle of 5 yrs or more on console is now dead, at best it will be 4 yrs for the majors. SOny ARE working on the PS4 as we speak, and have been for some time, and if you check, you'll find job applications looking for designers and programmers working of the "next iteration of Sony gaming hardware" dah . .!

The Wii will have a rebuild as well, that's agiven . .as Nintendo to NOT hold on to the belief youhaveto have a console, be it handheld of shelf, for a 5 yr period. They re-released a new DS every 2 years, and they sold big time.

XboxOZ360 - 488 days 22 hours ago

To those that disagree, how can you disagree with 'facts' . . . duoh, some people simply disagree to disagree ... Fact is, MS IS making the x720, Sony ARE making the PS4, Nintendo IS making a Wii second iteration.

Fact is, MS will be using the Valhalla's unified Motherboard on the new x720. Which is due for release lat '09 or early 2010. Which means

That the x720 will be released around that time - hello.

Sony's PS4 is planned for release around mid to lat 2010 if all goes well, they started on it no sooner than the second wave of PS3's were released, and Ken K was "retired" from Sony.

So how can one dispute fact. The only rumour about the issue is, will Gearbox's IP be the new Halo (whatever number it is) and when will it be released.

My best bet scenario is for the first quarter of 2010 alongside the release of the x720. As this would fit in perfectly with the time needed to develop the game, which they are no doubt already working on and have been for some time. That would give them at the very least 3 years all up to work on the project. It's not as if it's a whole new concept, so the normal 4-5 yr period for game development is shortened somewhat.

They will use a few game releases before then to continue the growth of the 360, but be holding off on a few "big guns" for the x720 release. The x720 will not complicate earlier games at all, and will simply ad enhancement to the current games available . . . no emulation etc, just drop in and play, but may well look and run better.

The Playstation platform did much the same thing as the Xbox did. The first Playstation was a test case, they found out what they needed to know and moved to the next logical console, which is the one they then gave a solid "life cycle" so as to carry the platform into the obvious next iteration (PS3).

The 1st-Gen Xbox was the initial test unit, had a simple life span of 3-4 yrs tops, to be completely phased out once the 360 got in the door, usually 12mth after release. Guess what, 12 moths after the 360 was released, production stopped on the Xbox. It didn't fail, it did it's job, just like the very first Playstation did.

There's some excellent books out there that if you read them (yes, I know, it's a new concept not many have grasped yet - reading that is) that if you did read, you'd find most of this information there is for your use and knowledge . . .

The 360 should continue along the same path as the ps2. The xbox 1 was just a problem for MS which is why they left it behind. Too much has been invested in the 360, and MS won't let that pass.

Once the new console comes out, the 360 will be targeted more towards kids like what happened with ps2!

Remember MS wants to achieve what Sony did with the ps1 and ps2, so logically that means they will follow what was done in the past!

***Oh, you guys want a rumor, I got one for ya... The next Halo games story will revolve aroung the female character Nichole(from DOA 4), and will have totally new enemies, environments and gameplay!***

Most people on N4G prefer fiction before facts. Maybe they just can't deal with the truth? I think many Sony fans get upset by your comment cause they firmly believe that Sony aren't going to release a new console in 10 years, hence the ten year lifespan they are bragging about. It's a statement full of ambiguity. Most of us realize that they will be forced to put out a new console as soon as Microsoft decides to do it. Bubbles for writing great comments!

That was a very interesting read, and I think your points are not only valid, but should be obvious to anyone that keeps up with gaming.

You spoke of the x720 using a CPU/GPU hybrid. This troubles me because I have yet to see a hybrid chip that was any good. The Emotion Engine was a hybrid, and the Cell was originally going to be a hybrid (the RSX was added after Sony spent 3 years trying to make it perform to the level of current generation GPU's to no avail) , neither of which have proven to be an overly good game development solution. Don't you think the use of a hybrid would ruin any chance of current generation 360 games being backwards compatible next generation?

edit- also is there somewhere that I could read up on this hybrid chip?

Finally someone who has something inbetween their ears! lol.

But!, at the same time you were wrong about one thing. Msoft didnt discontinue the original xbox purely because that was just a test run, they discontinued it because Nvidia stopped making the graphics chips which means Msoft didn't really get much choice in the matter.

Think about they lost around $4 billion last gen, do you honestly think they just shrugged that under the carpet by choice. The fact is the last xbox could have still been going today just as the ps2 is, had msoft not relied on third party hardware manufacturers.

Fortunately Msoft isnt exactly brittle when it comes to the size of the companies very deep pockets, so the xbox brand isnt going anywhere, which I for one am happy about :-), as apart from hardware faults which are in a way - inexcusable - overall they are a company that likes to deliver, even if they more focused on profits than anything else (which is understandable as there isnt a single company on earth that isnt).

How in the world can anybody take this as good news. (If true)

If Halo 4 is in development for the next Xbox, it would mean MS had given up on this gen. It would mean they are trying to rush out the next console just like they did with this one.

It means Gears of war 3 is going down the same road.
It means the best IP's the 360 has to offer is no longer coming with new games to the 360.
It means every body with a 360 would be left in the dust just like they did with the original Xbox.

How in the world can anybody take this as good news.

People need to remember that technology advancement made from 2000 to 2005 is way higher than the technology advancement made from 2005 to 2010. Processing power is not doubling every year like it did back then.

3 more years for the 360? well if they overlap systems and still support the 360, then yes. But SIX years for just the 360? wha? The technology is already starting to look a little older, 3 more years of it? I HIGHLY doubt it. Sales have progressively gone down from the 1st year to the 2nd and I am almost positive that they will sell less this year than they did last year.

The numbers just dont add up to the xbox3 coming out in 2012. I would say Q3 2010 at the earliest and Q4 2011 at the latest. If MS tries to hold out for 3 more years its gonna be in trouble.

ABSOLUTELY no one could possibly argue that the 360 was built for a 6 year lifecycle. It just wasnt built that way. There is nothing wrong with the hardware choices the 360 made unless they try and last for 6 years.

No, to your whole post. If that's the case then the PS3 is outdated as well. If you remember correctly, the PS3 was scheduled to release Spring 06 (3 monthes after 360). But was delayed because of licensing issues with blu-ray and poor yields on blu-ray diodes.

You can't buy a 360 for $129, so there is plenty of life cycle left. 360 will be around 10 years.

XboxOZ360, very nice writing ;-) but you've also written some things that are not right(no offence, please).
Just to clarify things, the unified GPU/CPU motherboard, code-named Valhalla, is not the next XBOX. It will ( at least, according to rumors) be just further shrinking of the Xbox 360, leading to cost reductions, less heat dissipation, less power consumption,possibly integration of the power supply in the box etc. etc., making the console more profitable.
I would expect the new XBOX to ship around 2011, personally.

XboxOZ360 - 488 days 1 hour ago

Thanks mate, re the graphics chip change.

As early as Spring '03, MS Xbox-Div went on the hunt for a new CPU/GPU for the 360 . . yes, that early, as they had to sign up thousands of contracts for parts from the simplest screws, right down to the main casing once a design was accepted. (there ended up being 9 final designs btw)

One of the BIG reasons MS changed was that Nvidia were not willing to look at alternatives in the areas MS were, and most importantly, not willing to allow MS to have rights over the chip once produced. MS wanted Nvidia to construct a "custome designed chip, but to have the cost kept within a certain budget so as not to blow the final Retail Price off the scale.

As quoted by Marv Burkett, chief financial officer at Nvidia at the timer "They wanted a custom design, but they didn't want to pay the price".

The both chip companies were vying for the deal right up until the very last minute, and in fact Nvidia actually thought they had the deal, only to find out that IBM had beaten them to the punch with a last minute pitch to MS Xbox-Div by offering MS ownership over their chipset and the commitment to work on a Unified Chip for the x720.

Intel had a chip in the works at the time that code named Tejas, a Pentium4 that promised to run at speeds faster than 4ghz, due to arrive in '05, but Intel never offered the Tejas, but MS did ask for it, but at a far lower price than Intel were willing to sell it for in '05. Plus the fact that test showed that a chip running that speed would need significantly more cooling than they had planned, again, raising the end cost in production.

Neither Intel or Nvidia were willing to sign over rights for their chips to MS. By not doing so, it meant that the final cost would be higher on the finished item, as they would control the production, whereas if MS owned it, they (MS) could use their own plants to build the chips, saving huge amounts on the finished product.

So in walked IBM and ATI who were willing to do just that, (there were being pitched at the same time as the others as an alternative, so all parties knew everyone was vying for a slice of the MS 360 pie. They (IBM/ATI) could see the advantages of being in millions of end users lounge rooms by 2010. But this meant a change in direction regarding 1st-Gen games playing on the 360. Which is another story.

@ johnnypatras :

Not doubting you mate, or your English mate. However, the Valhalla is the last of the current series of motherboards which will be preceded by the two final ones for the 360, Jasper and Opus. The Valhalla is the one which is supposedly carrying the new unified MB which they began looking into as early as 2003.

I's release is to correspond with the new x720 in or around late '09 or early 2010. While the Jasper (which replaces the Falcon and due in Fall of '08) and Opus MB's will be fitted in between that period and the x720's release, as they reduce the over costs on production and reduce the size and thus production costs on the MB's.

In fact, the name Valhalla is not the actual name of the Motherboard per se', but the name of the "Super Chip" which will be mounted on the unified GPU/CPU motherboard which is yet to be actually "named", but scheduled for release in the x720.

The last MB in this current series will most likely be the Opus due out in '09.

But I hear some saying, yeah but that only gives the Opus a short life span as the Superchiped Valhalla will be out by late '09 early 2010.

Yes, it will, but the Valhalla equipted motherboard is for the x720, NOT the 360. The Opus will be the last MB for that series, and will last the remainder of years in the 360 and the Valhalla equipted MB will be the initial MB for the next iteration of hardware.

So while one ends, yet continues, the new is introduced and heads the way. Get it . . . you can't just drop one and start a new one, there MUST be overlap and there must be two version on the market to offer choice and a transition period between models. 360 - x720 etc.

@ jspc1989 :

Not tryingto ruffle you mate, however, Steve Balmer and Robbie Bach both signed off on a budget that allowed around 6.3 billion loss over the next 7 years from the release of the 1st-gen Xbox as a worse case scenario, but at a best case scenario, they could come home with a profit as early as mid '08 if everything went their way.

This was outlined in a 80 page white paper released by the heads of Xbox-Div in 2003 called XE 03. So yes, they were willing to simply right that amount off. At the time, MS had over $US32 billion of cash assets (liquid assets) while Sony had just $US3 billion. They (MS) could see thatthey could afford the possible loss of that amount in the greater scheme of things, and when Bill Gates and Steve Balmer as well as Robbie Bach read the XE 03, and did the numbers, they could see the "possibilities" and signed off on it.

Up until that point, the 360 was still on paper, but not a solid fact regarding budgetary expenses. The MS Xbox-Div had to meet targets and budgets in order to get further funding during the design and early stages of its conception.

If anyone wants some detailed info on these facts or information, then I'd suggest reading just two major works by Dean Takahashi called, Opening The Xbox and Xbox 360 Unlcoaked. Both excellent reads and give some very detailed insights into the console as a platform. You'll find them at Amazon.com or any online store. I managed to get a signed copy from Dean several years ago.

XboxOZ360 - 488 days 21 hours ago

AHh - a sensible person, they do exist.

I have seen information for some time leading to this conclusion. Even as far back as 2005 things were written up within MS Xbox-Div to bring the next iteration of their platform out by "around 2010" giving them a 5 yr window to establish the second generation of console.

Gears Of War was engaged much earlier to be THE game for the 360 to help move it in sales - NOT the once thought of golden boy, Halo's Master Chief. Halo had been moved to a 2006 release as early as late 2005- early 2006. As the developers wanted more time, as it was 'earmarked' for a April release in 2006 initially, and was moved to their second release slot, November 2006. Allowing them a solid window to build on the Gears game. Giving them a solid 12/24 month periods between the different major IPs.

Cliff Belenski originally fronted MS's Ed Fries in 2004/5 about the game, then called something else and got the nod for it over drinks at the bar one evening at a major event. Releasing the x720 on or near '09/'10 will fit in perfectly with how their 7 yr plan will work, which was outlined in white paper/s called the XE 30 which most of the heads of the various departments had to contribute to during the early development of the 360 as early as 2003.

They had budgeted to lose at least $US3.2 bil (I actually believe it was higher than that, but just looking for validation on that figure now and something around the $US6.1 bil mark touted by Robbie Bach as head of finance - and other areas- at the time) in a worse case scenario over the initial Xbox and first 7 years of the 360's life, but also in a good case, they would break even by early or mid 2008. Which they have done. SO it 'seems' everything is going as planned. It just seems to those uninformed that it's a bit of a hit-n-miss approach as they forget this is well planned. just like any major company does years in advance.

The only thing Sony did NOT take into consideration with the PS3, which basically shot them down big time, was Ken K's obsession with the console and his resistance, nay refusal to listen to those above him, and pull in his grand ideas and make the console profitable, not build it beyond what the average gamer would normally pay.

If he had of followed some direction, the PS3 would be the one leading the way atm. With MS's 360 following on behind. But, Japanese loyalist being what they are, did not listen to the Gajins ("round eyes" "white dogs" "foreigners") and many just refused to even obey direct orders from their CEO of Sony directly. Causing huge rifts internally which are only now starting to heal.

I do believe the x720 will come alongside a "major" game release to propel it into the lounge rooms of the loyal followers. And what better title that their flagship Halo Series. It just makes perfect sense and fits in perfectly with what has been written about it over the last few years.

To make as much money as it can,thats why it entered the console market, they wanted some of that oh so green back and right now Xbox 2 cant compete with PS3 anymore so its new Xbox in 09/10 .

Xbox 2 was good for trying to be a PS2 but PS3 made it inferior so its back to the drawing bored or Photo copiers again.

still wonder how they will get around the Blu-ray.

Why in the world would you get Gearbox to make Halo 4 the biggest console game in gaming history... These guys don't know nothing about making a killer FPS...

why not get the guys making Crysis... or Infinity Ward... jesus, I can think of at least 8 other companies before I would ever think Gearbox..

But I guess it's because they did Halo for PC... most people don't know that...and yeah it came out good...

-But this is the franchise, I just don't know if this was a wise move.
