[QUOTE=Ray-The-Sun;40405708]The font in that invite gets on my freakin' tits and I don't even know why.[/QUOTE] it's because you've got strings of text in a thin font with mixed serif/sans serif styling. it's hard to read a lot of that at a time and it's best used for things like a headline, title or name also it seems that it was made by the verge writers and isn't from the noted [url=http://majornelson.com/2013/04/24/xboxreveal/]source[/url] of the announcement [editline]e[/editline] it also looks like all the shitty [url=https://www.google.com/search?tbs=simg:CAESWxpZCxCo1NgEGgIIAAwLELCMpwgaMgowCAESCsUH1Af0B9oH1wcaINungEm5KFrHnxh4W2tqi7TrZOA1c5iGF7NGoz_1bd7vWDAsQjq7-CBoKCggIARIEBBTjMgw&q=xbox+720&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=OB54Uar0NMH5qwG-wYHQBw&ved=0CDkQsw4&biw=998&bih=493]fake "xbox 720" announcement/spec[/url] rumor images [editline]e[/editline] [img]http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/c0.0.843.403/p843x403/579221_522571304459890_810862584_n.png[/img]
I wonder how they're going to handle the stains they left with all the leaked information.
[QUOTE=PN_Redux;40406974]I wonder how they're going to handle the stains they left with all the leaked information.[/QUOTE] I'd hardly call any of it leaks when everyone's sources are "We heard from a credible anonymous insider with a dev kit". News that makes nerds angry guarantees a shitton of visits to your site, and a following flow of ad revenue. I don't even care if some of the rumors end up guessing right, I'm not considering anything to be factually based til microsoft comments
I'm really hoping if they call out always online anything they get booed off their own stage.
this is what's on the actual xbox site, pretty similar [img]http://i.imgur.com/OzG37aL.png[/img] they kept the text a solid tone and lightened the black background with some texture like a good graphic designer would probably have done
Oh hey, that's my birthday. Worst birthday present ever.
[QUOTE=reedbo;40407331]Oh hey, that's my birthday. Worst birthday present ever.[/QUOTE] But what if the new xbox turns out to be good though? Remember, the whole always-online thing hasn't exactly been confirmed by Microsoft. At this point it's pretty much still a rumor.
Hmmm I might go.
IMO they should call the next Xbox the Xbox 420. They need to make use of the value of escalation when it comes to titling it. Likely a good deal of the second Xbox being title the "360" had a bit to do with getting a number higher than "3" that the PS3 had. Having the number 420 on the next Xbox will again give them a number higher than the PS4 while still giving room to breath twenty years down the line when the next generation after this upcoming one [I]finally[/I] gets revealed. By all means, Xbox 720 is something that should be saved for if/when Microsoft has another Xbox competing with the PS7. Also, it would be a nice and accurate homage to the majority of the Xbox fanbase. You all know, the xXiTzmLgPrOsIkShOtSm0k3wE3d420Xx types.

If it requiers always-on connection then I'm getting a PS4 when it's cheap if anything.
[QUOTE=reedbo;40407420]PC gaming `'~master race~'`[/QUOTE] Even if you are, you can't say the console is bad. I prefer PC too but if Microsoft turns out to confirm these rumors aren't true I'll totally give them kudos for that. Still not getting the next Xbox though. :v:
[QUOTE=T-Sonar.0;40407457]Even if you are, you can't say the console is bad.[/QUOTE] in the long run, the current gen consoles have become excessively bad for progress in the industry, so PC gamers [i]do[/i] have legitimate gripes with consoles on a tech side having said that, still no room for real opinions on how good the tech will be nor who will dominate what

While I hate the shitty ports and other consolitis related issues on PC it's not really the consoles's faults. That's more the devs and/or publishers. Personally, I'm starting to appreciate the convenience of owning a console.
PS4 is 1.5 times more powerful than the next-gen 720. Don't ask me how I know this.

Microsoft isn't stupid, They know that alot of people don't have internet. This always-online thing isn't going to happen, If it is you can butter my ass.

[t]http://i.imgur.com/WS6ikqe.png[/t] Not sure if it's real, but apparently a dev in a podcast mumbled Infinity and now there is this picture which someone posted on Reddit saying "Saved you guys a month of waiting. Thank me whenever." It seems plausible, at least.

Infinity is a crap name.

They really need to have something at the end of it to stop confusing, like Xbox Revamped or something
again with the weird rumor pictures, that green is so light and minty, nowhere near the brand standard
What about that rumour that the new Xbox will apparently stop functioning if it's disconnected for more than 3 minutes? :v:
