Oh wow....what a surprise.
Oh wow....what a surprise.
Yep. A lot of people can't seem to get through their heads that if a new console were to come out, the old one wouldn't magically cease to exist.
you mean only time for MS? Bc thats also basically what happened with Sega (Genesis/Saturn/Dreamcast) and Nintendo (N64/GC/Wii). Sony is pretty much the only one that hasnt killed its previous console upon release of a new one. Theres a precedent set out there with the restYeah, but that's like the only time that's ever happened, and Microsoft took a lot of heat for it.
Touchscreen Tablet Controller Planned for Next Xbox?
Rumour has it that the next Xbox will have a touchscreen tablet controller not all that dissimilar to the Nintendo Wii U's controller, which also has a touchscreen embedded in its chassis with the sticks and buttons relegated to the controller's edges.
Xbox World Magazine [via NeoGAF] has heard on the grapevine that Microsoft is experimenting with a far sleeker version of the Wii U-style controller, with an HD touchscreen surrounded by your analogue sticks and face buttons, with triggers presumably still on the back.
According to the report from "sources", the screen will adapt to content, so it'll be a remote for your television, it'll be an internet browser and it'll be a menu screen or portable interface display with extra buttons. It'll even make you a cup of tea (or not).
In other next-gen news, Epic's VP Mark Rein revealed that the developer has Unreal Engine 4 running on "systems we can't name yet". Xbox 720/Loop/whatever? Maybe. And as ever, rumours are still abound that the next Xbox will be releasing in 2013. Still nothing is concrete yet, so it could all be a load of old balls. We'll see.
MS already dismissed rumors about the next console being revealed this year and that 360's life cycle still has more to go!..
I'm fine with all that as long as it's optional. Some of it might be quite cool. But if the only controller you can use has a load of compulsory crap on it that gets in the way it seems like a big risk for any company that wants to be leading in the serious games market.Im so sick and tired of MS and Sony trying to copy nintendo. I dont want some wierd ass controller with screens, motion controls, touchscreen. Just buttons and sticks lol
Update to console and graphics, controllers are great the way they are.
