Without borders!

The set of logos and symbols that underline the versatility of the Xbox to several other devices was discovered in a document shown as a template for the PowerPoint presentation.

Logo seems a bit "meh"... I thought they hired some some hot shot indie designer to create the new logo.

_-EDMIX-_4023d ago

I would take it as a rumor. But still, understand that a leak last year and this year stated it would not be called 720 or Xbox 3, etc. It would be re-braneded just Xbox. (I think its quite weird too)

sikbeta4023d ago

I think XBOX alone doesn't work, should be like any product, "XBOX ___" Idk, I worked great for years and there is no need to change that, loved the rumored Xbox Infinity with the idea of the eight turn into the infinte logo

Zhipp4023d ago

@sikbeta
Yeah, I really like the Xbox ∞ idea.

RyuCloudStrife4023d ago (Edited 4023d ago )

If you see the controller on those slides they apparently switched the D-pad and buttons, and tilted slightly, also they brought the two analog sticks down like the DualShock.

Is this the new controller??

Cryptcuzz4023d ago

@The_Science_Guy

Yeah I noticed the difference in the controller as well.

If these pictures are real, why would they show the controller with the analog sticks in the same position as the Dualshock controllers?

On top of that, the controllers D-Pad and face buttons have swapped positions? That is most odd considering everything seems backwards.

lsujester4023d ago (Edited 4023d ago )

I think it's a reversed image. If you notice the other items, they are reversed, too. The camera button has the shutter on the opposite side, the speaker is opposite of what you actually see on Windows. The people and the hand on the button are oriented left-handed when you always see them right-handed.

EDIT: Also the cursor is flipped. While that may be the new controller, it's almost definitely flipped around.

SkyGamer4022d ago

Kind of makes sense to me. Remember AMD saying that the next Xbox could do "Avatar" like graphics? Just maybe....

i think the indie designer was creating a new logo for windows related projects, not the xbox brand

bangshi4023d ago

What new logo?

It is the same as the current logo...

StoneyYoshi4022d ago

BU BU BU.....there is no "360" in it. lol

bangshi4022d ago

They already use this logo to refer to Xbox as a brand - and whilst the 360 branding almost always carries the 3D 'X' symbol, the flat style is used on other Xbox services.

Godz Kastro4023d ago

I wish people would stop leaving comments as if this is an official word from MS. Billy Gates has said nothing, absolutely nada.

For all we know a nextbox doesnt even exist; i know it does just saying we know not a thing.

Godz Kastro4023d ago

I guess MS made an announcement and I missed it based off disagrees.

UnholyLight4023d ago

I haven't read the article yet, but everyone should recall the updated Xbox design on the game cases and new Xbox 360 were somewhat confirmed by an Italian source. I can't remember exact details but I just thought I'd mention it haha.

Syntax-Error4023d ago

No one still knows sh!t. I am sure that is not the real logo or font. It was generic font they used to outline their presentation

zerocrossing4022d ago

I hope that's not the logo O.o

all the codes...every image mean

Storm Clouds (1 image)

Deep Computing (3 image)
Petaflops>Teraflops (4 image)

enjoy it

r214023d ago

Wondering what those symbols were. Thanks for that. Wish i could translate them myself but I dont do 'codes'.

Munky4023d ago

Petaflops>Teraflops .... interesting

MasterCornholio4023d ago

1 Petaflop = 1000 Teraflops.

The PS4 is only 1.7 Teraflops so how the heck is Microsoft going to produce a console with 1000 teraflops?

This is the main reason why i think this is fake.

Good_Guy_Jamal4023d ago (Edited 4023d ago )

Cloud computing. It makes sense if you factor in the other hints, storm clouds, more than now, deep computing.
Always online confirmed?

DeadlyFire4023d ago (Edited 4023d ago )

Cloud gaming basically OTOY is supported on X720. Why partner with Agawi cloud service then.

http://www.pcmag.com/articl...

OTOY + Octane Render = http://render.otoy.com/

Why else would you need a cloud service? API built for Cloud service = unlimited graphical, physics, and so on as long as the bandwidth is in place. Which would indeed require always on internet for that to function. So it fits the rumors.

PS4 can do this as well with Octane Render API on Gaikai servers or with their own API on Gaikai servers.

These images I deem to be real. I am betting AMD/OTOY push the Octane Render API onto X720 or PS4 or both while Sony with Gaikai and Microsoft with Agawi supporting it. Why else would one shrug NVIDIA away. Even Nintendo could have a monster console if they supported this cloud tech and had the bandwidth to back it up. NVIDIA says look we have GRID, but they lack the API to do what OTOY does.

Bandwidth I see is the only problem for it. OnLive burned itself by launching early. Is it still to early to support these type of games? Another question I could propose is if based on Cloud tech in the console will there be discs?

r214023d ago

Im going to have to doubt this piece of news considering they dont have the infamous layout of the xbox controller in the image. Heck, the sticks are symmetrical and directional buttons are on the right side of the controller image. UNLESS MS has decided to switch up their controller layout for next gen and that doesnt seem likely as it'll alienate the xbox fans.

Nalaboy4023d ago

All reports are the controller will be the same with an improved d pad. So i too agree and doubt this too.

sourav934023d ago (Edited 4023d ago )

Agreed. The images below explains what r21 is trying to say:

Bethesda Needs to Reduce the Gaps Between New Fallout and Elder Scrolls Releases

Waiting a decade for new instalments in franchises as massive as Fallout and Elder Scrolls feels like a waste.

Microsoft have Obsidian but I feel it's Bethesda who just don't want to play ball as they've always said they want to do it themselves.

Once MS bought Zenimax in 2020 they should have put the Outer Worlds 2 on the back burner, allow Bethesda to finish off its own Space RPG with Starfield (despite totally different tone why have two in your first party portfolio with two developers who's gameplay is a tad similar) and got Obsidian for one of their projects to make a spiritual successor to New Vegas.

When the Elder Scrolls VI is finished Bethesda can then onto the main numbered Fallout 5 themselves.

The Outer Worlds 2 started development in 2019 so putting it on the back burner wouldn't have been the end of the world, they'd have always come back to it once Fallout was done and it would have been nicely spaced out from Starfields release once they had most likely stopped supporting it and all the expansions were released.

If they did this back in 2020 when they bought Zenimax and the game had a good, steady 4 - 5 years development, you might have seen it release in 2025.

We are literally going to be waiting until 2030 at the very earliest for Fallout 5 and all they seem bothered about is pushing Fallout 76.

RaidenBlack4h ago(Edited 3h ago)

Its not just only Todd not playing ball.
Obsidian have made a name for themselves in delivering stellar RPGs, but most famous once have always been sequels/spin-offs to borrowed IPs like KOTOR 2, Neverwinter Nights 2, Fallout: New Vegas, Stick of Truth etc.
Obsidian wants to invest more in their own original IPs like Outer Worlds or Pillars of Eternity with Avowed.
Similar to what Bluepoint & inXile wants to do or Kojima is doing (i.e not involving anymore in Konami's IPs).
So yea, even if New Vegas has the most votes from 3D Fallout fans, Obsidian just wants to do their own thing, like any aspiring dev studio and MS is likely currently respecting that.
But a future Fallout game from Obsidian will surely happen. Founder Feargus Urquhart has already stated an year ago that they're eager to make a new Fallout game with Bethesda, New Vegas 2 or otherwise. Urquhart was the director of the very first 1995's Fallout game after all.
And don't forget Brian Fargo and his studio inXile, as Brian Fargo was the director of Fallout's 1988 predecessor: Wasteland

KyRo25m ago(Edited 24m ago)

Obsidian should take over the FO IP. They're do far better with it than Bethesda who hasn't made a great game for almost 15 years

Duke197m ago(Edited 6m ago)

I disagree. Part of these games is the support for the mod community. If they move to releasing a "next game" every 2 or 3 years, the modding support plummets and the franchises turn into just another run of the mill RPG.

Make the games good enough to withstand the test of time, to keep people coming back to them and expanding on them with mod support.

Athenian Rhapsody Throws WarioWare into a JRPG

Athenian Rhapsody is a JRPG with a difference: alongside turn-based combat & exploration, you'll need to complete WarioWare-style microgames.

El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron - Coming Back for a New Generation

Originally launched in 2011, El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron is coming to Nintendo Switch, so It's time to look back at the original.

jznrpg1h ago

Still have my ps3 copies. Bought it at launch and another one when I found it cheap and in perfect condition about 10 years ago. I wouldn’t buy it on Switch but if they made a PS5 version I would. I still have one of my PS3 Fats hooked up so good to go either way.

darthv721h ago

Id play it again on the switch. I wished my 360 version was bc but this is still a good way to play.
