512 or bust!

Xbox 360 gets announced with 256 Megs of ram official will get a big MEH from me.

That's only 4 times the size of the current Xbox....

 

[jett]

Another IGN MEGATON announcement that turns out to be worthless? SHOCK AND AWE.

 

[sscrew]

As a console manufacturer, you should have good first-party games (though Sony proved with PS2 you don't need it), and strong third-party support.

:lol I love that....

 

[PG2G]

I don't know about you, but to me it seems like game caching is something the OS could handle on its own.

 

[midnightguy]

Geezuz Farking Kwist.... that looks like a Playstation2 game, and not a very good one at that. ... it looks like complete farking.... DIE-AH-REE-AH


most good current generation games, even many good Dreamcast games, just shit all over this, shit.

 

[PhatSaqs]

I got $100 saying this game never gets a publisher.

 

[golem]

from these screens i think i can safely determine the ps3 sux. cell am failure ;P

System Memory: Xenon will have 256 MB of system RAM. This number should not be equated to typical PC RAM. PCs are multiprocessing machines, not just game machines, thus this number is more than sufficient for a dedicated console like Xenon. The Xbox has 64 MB of system RAM and is a very capable machine.

Holy shit. What happened to 512MB? This better be wrong. If not, MS is screwed. Same size media, only 4 times as much RAM, the LOSS of the hard drive...

WHAT FUCKING BULLSHIT. The Xbox was positioned as being for the more hardcore gamer, but this is exactly opposite. If this is the best MS can come up with then Sony will wipe the floor with them. These specs had better be wrong.

Do I see jaggies on that building? Nasty... and so is the game.

about Xbox360 RAM

How much RAM will Xbox 360 have?
The system will have at least 256MB of RAM, possibly 512MB. One theory currently floating around the ourcolony.net hubbub surrounds an image of a clock. The clock has its hands set to 5:00, or in other words, the little hand on 5 and the big hand on 12. Could this be pointing to 512MB of RAM rather than 5 o'clock? Time, as they say, will tell.

What about video RAM?
As is the case with the current Xbox, it's rumored that Xbox 360 will make use of a shared memory architecture. That means that the system's 256 or 512MB of RAM will be used for graphics and texture memory as well as things like sound, animation source and of course, the actual game code itself.

While the majority of the graphics data will be housed in the shared system RAM, like textures and the like, the video framebuffer will use NEC's dedicated embedded DRAM technology. Long story short, by embedding the framebuffer RAM directly onto the graphics chip, Xbox 360 will be able to perform post-processing features much more quickly, like anti-aliasing and motion blur.

still 256 or 512 MB

 

[Joe]

im not sure why that article is dated april 28th because i know i read the same exact article word-for-word on ign about a month ago.

 

[pxleyes]

At least we know what the $20 dollar games will look like....

 

[Redbeard]

They're just rehashing the article for the new site.

 

[sprsk]

i think its safe to say that all games we see before a system is officially announced will most likely never come out. and if they do itl be 4 years later like malice.

 

[Speevy]

I wouldn't be able to stop laughing if these guys came after me.

Agree. what fucking bullshit.


Xbox360 should have

1.) 512 MB plus 10 to 16 MB of eDRAM
2.) harddrive at least in one model

It's nice to see that the revolution is being ignored already.

 

[bbyybb]

The graphics remind me of the CG intro to Resident Evil 2 on the PSX.


Cheers,

thank God that Revolution is not part of these new IGN website updates, with their horrible graphics, old info, bad info, wrong info, poorly written CRAP.

 

[midnightguy]

ahhh Possession must be a CURRENT-GENERATION game, like The Godfather.

The Godfather was also originally reported to be a next generation game, for Xbox2, but turns out to be a PS2-PC-Xbox game.

 

[goomba]

Coming 2007! :lol

You are stupid, shut up stupid.

the utter deterioration of this thread begins. er, continues its slippery slope into GAF hell

Don't worry, most people don't know how to spell it.

 

[Vince]

I wouldn't be able to stop laughing if these guys came after me.

I was thinking the same thing, remember those Haunted Houses when you were in HighSchool with the douchebags and their chain-less chainsaws? Ya... its that bad.

 

[ThongyDonk]

1) Geist>>>>Possesion
2) This proves next gen games same shit different day, extra lick of paint, nothing else.

I REALLY hope Nintendo are onto something other than this CRAP

 

[Kon Tiki]

Stubs The Zombie > Possession

 

[Kseutron]

According to Tal-IGN on the Xbox2 boards theres a big surprise tonight or tomorrow.

there are xbox 360 news every day so...

 

[Amir0x]

2) This proves next gen games same shit different day, extra lick of paint, nothing else.

Shut up, dummy.

 

[cyberheater]

I'm a Xbox fanboy but i'm telling you now. No game on PS3 will ever look that bad. Games on PS3 will look absolutely stunning. Have no fear.

Yeah right.

 

[ThongyDonk]

Shut up, dummy.

WTF? Are you a dumb ass or something?

Why do you even bother posting.
The two posts i've seen of yours today are
1) Dumb
2) Trollish

I cant blame Amir0x, your post is dummy.

All kidding aside, I honestly believe you have not a clue as to what the word "trollish" means in the context of internet forums. If you did, you'd probably have a much different outlook on things.

That said, I am not a "dumb ass." I am simply telling you to shut up, because every time you post you make yourself look like a "dummy." I'm tryin' to help you, friend. A post before this one I'm quoting, you just asserted that images from a single game made on hardware that is not even approaching indicative of the final hardware represented in PS3 and Xbox 360 proves that it's just "same shit different day, extra lick of paint, nothing else." You roll that over in your mind and then I'd like you to consider that perhaps it's a good idea to actually think about the stupid shit you post.

 

[ThongyDonk]

it's a good idea to actually think about the stupid shit you post.

Why?
You quite obviously don't


And what i've seen thus far, next gen shots so far are just the same shit, new paint palette

 

[SolidSnakex]

And what i've seen thus far, next gen shots so far are just the same shit, new paint palette

How many actual games have you seen from high end developers so far?

 

[Amir0x]

Why? You quite obviously don't

Hey man, don't try too hard with your insults! I might have to get dirty and throw a "no u r" back your way or something! :lol

You don't have to take my advice, it's just better to stop while you're far, far behind. But I guess the moths are inexplicably drawn to the flames.

And what i've seen thus far, next gen shots so far are just the same shit, new paint palette

Right right. I understand your innate desire to rub your penis against next-gen Nintendo hardware, but please my friend - there's room for all types of games in this house! You might do yourself a favour and open your heart, baby! The games don't bite, lover.

 

[ThongyDonk]

like i SAID from WHAT i've seen, from concept art, to renders, its all the same shit.

More racing
More Madden
More Fighting
OH WOWSERS, jump for joy.

Wheres all the new stuff?

If the next gen is just a jump in power whats the point?

Maybe us none nerds are fed up and want something more for our money

I really couldn't give a shit what you fricking quite obviously xbots think, come back when you can show me something new

Like i said before
I'm a 2 console guy always have been and always will be so you're screwed over there.

and secondly, i'm stopping here, as every topic you post in whilst ovulating deteriates into childish arguments

 

[AniHawk]

Oh, this is gonna end in bloodshed I can tell.

 

[Amir0x]

like i SAID from WHAT i've seen, from concept art, to renders, its all the same shit.

:lol :lol

More racing
More Madden
More Fighting
OH WOWSERS, jump for joy.

So, uh, you don't like racing games or fighting games or sports games? Why the fuck do you play videogames? And if you do like other genres, then you still have plenty to look forward to in the other "MORE" categories, so why the hell are you complaining? Oh, that's right, you've already been sold over the vague concepts pissed into your mouth by Nintendo's PR and the wet dream of more Mario sports titles.

Like I said: "Shut up, dummy."

If the next gen is just a jump in power whats the point?

Because power never opens up more possibilities, only the same shit.

OH WAIT.

Maybe us none nerds are fed up and want something more for our money

As my friend Sunfist would say: "What the fuck? How did you make this sentence? Did you just use a random word generator?"

I really couldn't give a shit what you fricking quite obviously xbots think, come back when you can show me something new

Hey cool, now I'm an Xbot!

I gotta tell ya, though, you're quite a bit more obvious about being a Nintendo fanboy than "we" are about being "Xbots."

Like i said before
I'm a 2 console guy always have been and always will be so you're screwed over there.

:lol

and secondly, i'm stopping here, as every topic you post in whilst ovulating deteriates into childish arguments

These are the type of things you should think of before you make ridiculous statements like the ones above, because those are the type of statements I like the rip apart the best!

Ummm did you ever think that maybe more racing, more madden, more fighters with a new coat of paint are what some people want? We all want new shit too man, but why sacrifice the tried and true genres. Not everyone shares your 1 track mind bud. Besides, you're basing the entire next gen which hasn't even started yet, let alone even officially been announced, on this POS that everyone agrees is a flaming sack of shit!

You haven't even seen ANYTHING and you're deeming it over.... With the way you think, you must be a 2 stroke engine in bed to huh Romeo? Bustin a load before you even tap the girl...

 

[ThongyDonk]

there's nothing you wrote there that offended me, or insulted me in the slightest, it was a VERY sad attempt Amir0x, probably your worst yet.

You didn't actually back anything up, only laughed at what i said.
Now go away and change your tampon

Again, nice try but a F- i'm afraid.

If it all rang true i'd be offended.
Its always the same guys who get offended, and blurt out the same shit.

In regards to the bed thing., don't tar us all with your brush too BUDDY.

 

[Moegames]

:lol :lol :lol funny guy. You made no attempt at a decent rebuttle. You didn't even take anything into consideration, and you automatically went into defensive mode with personal attacks! Gotta love it... You my friend won't last around here, and I will happily await your banning.

 

[AniHawk]

Thongy, just stop man. Quit while you're... okay, bad cliche.

 

[Ryudo]

TWO STROKE ROMEO HE HAW !!!

 

[Cragstar]

Can't a guy state an opinion round here without some people who think they're clever jumping all over them?
He prob ignored your post as it wasn't the best of attacks in the first place.

EDIT: he actually acknowledged your post but stated it didn't offend him.

You dig him for attacking a gneration we aint yet seen, yet YOU defend it, and you have too nothing to defend. He may be right for all you know.
