Someone ought to explain to me the way you play with all those TF, because I still don't know how. Give us load of games, illumiRoom and augmented reality and make the the console affordable. Specs talk, already the obsession of a frange of zealots (and an even smaller cast of genuinely interested tech enthusiasts) will soon fade away.

I doubt we will see Illumiroom,the "prototype" just Kinect+projector tape together,can't be design that fast
Very.
Also, I think he means the presentation for the subsidized model has been scrapped? Maybe they'll announce it later.
1.6 tf...done

not too long tbh, but it appears you always happen to be around to scold me when i do : |
Illumniroom being a thing in the Nextbox is the best thing I could hear. Can not fucking wait!!!
No. Paul Thurrott is one of the most knowledgeable insiders out there.
He doesn't guess.

Fuck I just realized MS didn't release any nostalgia videos or hype teasers. Too bad, at least we have a GAF thread

Illumiroom? Yep, that's a megaton.

Illumiroom is going to take more convincing for me than Kinect ever did, strangely enough. I found the demo trailer a little annoying.

He just needs to find a better editor if he's going to be writing more than three sentences in a post. It's easy to lose track of where you started sometimes.

No worries. I know your are just trying to keep you expectation low. Your reply made me laugh out loud.Alan Wake 2 with that thing. the shadows... the clouds...
It doesn't say that.

Damn shame really. MS not capitalising on that decade long nostalgia. And they are being far too secretive for their own good.
THROW US A BONE!

Those would be both surprising... I'm still skeptical on illumiroom becoming a real product, and the subsidised model looked like a smart and not too hard thing to do...

That definitely makes me think 'Maybe those Sony rootkits and the hack and linux/gone weren't so bad after all, because OH GOD TRANSISTORS'.

Probably makes sense to shelve the subsidised model for now, they will sell their launch allocation at full price, it's next year when they aren't supply contained that it could really make a difference.
I can see illumiroom happening in the same way we had all the BS about item scanning and content creation last gen, its not ready to ship any time soon.

OH.
STOP.
Okay, I'm starting to see the potential. The demoed snowy effects and blurry off-screen projection turned me off.
Yea, tech does not matter! ...
The tech dictates what kinds of games developers can make, how they play and how they look. Storage tech, HDD, Blu-Ray or not, Internet
But yes, detailed spec sheet would be cool.

Very.
Sucks for the scrapped subsidized model though. Lower entry point for people (even if more expensive overall) is good business.
Well then. I really like Illumiroom's concept, so it should be good.

Not sure how well Illumiroom would work in the tent, but damn if that doesn't make me excited.

Highly doubt MS decide the price at this moment,i believe they will try to wait Sony announce the price first

I agree. Illumiroom would be the equivalent of power glove. Intriguing, yet not affordable or providing a game changing experience. They had better not spend too much time on it.
I agree with you on the subsidized model. Maybe they did tweak there always online mechanics with he outcry to the point they could no longer make it a doorstop when payment was not made.

I would've grabbed the sub'd console.
this news really sucks.$499 is too damn high. May as well get an X51 at that point.
but wait
wasn't this the same guy that broke the subsidized rumor in the first place?

I'm really interested how they are going about the install for the consumer. Looks very complicated with a projector and a Kinect taped together etc.
I guess they design a new device for it. But where do we put it with all the cables and shit? I mean Kinect was already difficult to install for some, Illumiroom looks even more complicated.
I dunno, I just don't see the mainstream appeal. Looks very niche TBH.

will illumiroom even work in a small space? seems like you need a kinect sized space to get that shit to work properly.

I had a dream of the start of the presentation:
They open with a kineck RPG game, it was the overview of the world map, and the you hear the voice of a kid, they show grass, desert and a castle surrounded by water, then the kid said, you can copy part of the desert and place it on the water to reach the castle, then he said "with copy-paste you win", that was the end of the demo, XD noone applauded.
Then you hear the announcement presenting the next guess, you hear "people call me crazy", it was the joker`s voice, but it was to announce the director of Rocksteady Studio, I was "shit got real", then I wake up.

Yeah, but I'm guessing their plans changed. Paul Thurrott is one of the few people out there you can actually trust when it comes to insider info.

Yes. He is saying it has been nixed now. He has been very reliable in the Windows world and often a critic of all things MS. I follow him more than anyone else in terms of MS.

Again no way they already decide the price right now,too early

Now he was at least right once.
I dont know if he broke it but he did acknowledge it existed. He also said that an online connection was required to use Durango. Both of those look to be false now sooooo...
Though I wonder, wasnt there some speculation that a persistent connection was required because of the subsidized model? If they ditched the "online required", it makes sense that theyd ditch the subsidized model too. We'll never know for sure though.
