Xbox Infinity: Microsoft Employee Tweets Mysterious Image, Possible Kinect 2.0 Tease

GameRevolution:

"Eric Neustadter, "the xbox live operations gaming ninja," has posted a very intriguing image on Twitter, and the only bit of text included with the picture reads: "#ThisMeansNothing."

I'm convinced it's a Kinect 2.0 tease."

[doctorstrange]

Xbox robot confirmed!

[alexcosborn]

Do you think it will help me improve my Halo skills?

[Mustang300C2012]

I still wear my Nintendo power glove and it brings my teams to victory in Halo 4

[doctorstrange]

It's an Xbot after all... :P someone had to do that pun

[LOL_WUT]

It's Microsofts version of the power glove ;)

[zebramocha]

Let's hope kinect gets put in the next assassin creed.

[xHeavYx]

Kinect+robot=X-Bot?

[Autodidactdystopia]

something tells me we've just seen our first xbox 720 game or techdemo screenshot.

That is what I think. could be wrong but images like that don't create themselves and unless a source is found I would be willing to bet that that is a direct screenshot from a techdemo or a game.

the whole image strikes me as a realtime render from an engine I don't recognize. :)

who knows guess we'll see in a few days.

[morganfell]

"something tells me we've just seen our first xbox 720 game or techdemo screenshot."

Something tells me we haven't. It's obviously a take on the The Creation of Adam by Michaelangelo which is in the Cystine Chapel. In this case it is Microsoft's marketing version of a new Adam.

In the original painting god is on the left and Adam on the right. This imples the new Xbox will create a new person...a new you. It's a good marketing poster but I highly doubt it is a game.

[zeee]

"iBox" starring Will Smith :)

[Braid]

It's Respawn's Nextbox exclusive sci-fi FPS title.

You heard it here first.

[shadow2797]

"In the original painting god is on the left and Adam on the right. This imples the new Xbox will create a new person...a new you. It's a good marketing poster but I highly doubt it is a game."

Except in the original painting God is on the right and Adam is on the left. Your interpretation still makes sense, though.

[pixelsword]

@ LOL_WUT

Microsoft invented the power glove.

And Avatars.

/s

[scofios]

"WELL BAM there it is 2.0

[jessupj]

That made me lol

[sashimi]

does this mean xbox man is going to lose his job? :(

[doctorstrange]

He got a firmware upgrade

[shutUpAndTakeMyMoney]

@doctorstrange
"Xbox robot confirmed!"

That is called an xbot?

see u guys next week since i maybe banned.

[4Sh0w]

lol, doesn't take much to get a bunch of wild speculation. I think its just some random pic he threw out to see who bites.

[AngelicIceDiamond]

If the Xbox is turning into robots then ummm consider me out lol.

[GameCents]

Xbox Nokia. I called it first. Lol.

[Syntax-Error]

Are you people still calling it 720? A name that was coined by a game site and NOT officially by Microsoft. Even the project name was Durango and you idiots are still calling it 720. No wonder the industry thinks you guys are sheep

[hennessey86]

Wow....................just... ....................wow

[jrbeerman11]

ok so xboxinfinitydurangofuse then?

[grimmweisse]

And the industry thinks you're a twat!

[Cryptcuzz]

With comments like that no wonder you're an error. Chill out man, people can call it whatever they want until Microsoft officially announces what they are calling it.

Even with the PS4 when it was code named Orbis, most people still call it the PS4 before Sony announce that, that is in fact what they are calling it.

OT: I thought the image is pretty cool and artistic. Looking forward to the show tomorrow with great anticipation.

[antz1104]

...you mean a robox?

[novcze]

xbox robot hand confirmed ... you know, like Howard had in Big Bang Theory :)

[GamerToons]

Microsoft has taken Adam Orth and turned him into a robot to turn on and enslave humanity to get revenge for his Always On debacle.

I'll be back... online!

..errr.. that or it's a hint for the new Xbox reveal tomorrow.

[Davuskus]

An Xbox robot who plays all the games for you! You don't have to play at all, just let your Xbox robot have all the fun!

[-Superman-]

Beginning of Skynet

[Mounce]

Rob the robot 'Sequel' confirmed.

Made by Rare, made with Kinect. It will invade your home and help hold your hand while you play your games.

[crazysammy]

X.B.O.X the Robot packed in with every console!

[xtremeimport]

who actually cares about Kinect?

[iamlegend9999]

Robot sex confirmed

[Majin-vegeta]

Project milo 2??

[alexcosborn]

Hey, ya never know!

The future of Kinect is sure to be interesting...

[HammadTheBeast]

So its never coming either?

[Blackdeath_663]

...let me just scan my skateboard in front of the camera and ask a friend what i should wear this evening

[ftwrthtx]

Project Sistine Chapel....?

[alexcosborn]

Gotta love art, bro.

[malokevi]

You, me, museum... bro.

[Jek_Porkins]

Could be a game?

[ginsunuva]

I was thinking a hint towards Android (the OS.) But then I realized MS wants to push windows on mobile too, so nevermind.

[DeadlyFire]

Think more like Windows RT(ARM edition). That is the version they are pushing towards ARM devices, phones and such. Next Xbox would have to have a lite version of Windows on it if any version at all so I am thinking Windows 8 RT(ARM version)

[hkgamer]

I doubt it.

For some reason, it's probably something to do with Kinect.

What I saw when I first saw it is that Kinect will be able to detect the users finger movements, (like it was suppose to for kinect 1.0).

[ginsunuva]

@DeadlyFire
But the xbox would have to have an ARM processor, which it won't

[Cryptcuzz]

We don't know that, I know you are basing it on the year old leaked documents and rumors, but within that time frame, it could have changed. Let us not make such bold comments until tomorrow. You may in fact be right, but nothing is for certain until it is officially announce as such.

Cheers.

[GraveLord]

OMG! I can use my hands to do simple crap that can be done much faster with a controller!

[SpideySpeakz]

+1

[CommonSense]

Thanks for your pointless contribution.

[Gazondaily]

Wow.......you haven't seen what is yet and....

Ah I can't be assed

[DOMination-]

Lets all ignore that the ps4 has a kinect v1.0 ripoff and that sony are bound to show a load of games that use it at e3!!!

[Gimmemorebubblez]

Lets all ignore that the Kinect V.1.0 was a rip off of the eye-toy...........

[Shuyin]

Lol, another ignorant fool. You do realize MS ripped off Sony's Eyetoy / PSEye first, right?
Jeez...people these days..

[DOMination-]

Just because it's a camera of sorts, doesn't make it a rip off. That's like saying Apple ripped off Nokia for making a phone. Yeah, it's a phone but a completely different phone.

The EyeToy was a nice little innovation at the time, but it was essentially just a webcam. The Kinect can track objects and people in a 3D space and has a motor to adjust it's viewing angles automatically. So is it an evolution of the EyeToy? Well, yes it is - nearly everything has to evolve from something else, but is it a ripoff? No.

[duli14]

With that logic you could say MS ripped off Sony for making a gaming console.

[nukeitall]

@Shuyin:

"Lol, another ignorant fool. You do realize MS ripped off Sony's Eyetoy / PSEye first, right?"

So you are saying Sony started that abomination of motion controlls with a camera?

I guess now we know who to blame! It all started with Sony whom sowed the evil seed that sprouted into Kinect!!! :D

[dale_denton]

yay more gimmicks from microsoft and still no games

[andibandit]

You dont even know what it is, #troll fail

[dale_denton]

i'll bet my bottom dollar it is.

[Cryptcuzz]

It is called a teaser. It is made with the intent to tease and entice conversations on what tomorrow's show would include or be about.

Of course they are not going to show off games now when the unveil is tomorrow.

If you are talking about when the console gets released and still no games, then all I got to do to that is shake my head. #Shame

[SonyPS360]

OMG! let's all assume it's about kinect so I can give my own, bitchy point of view on it!

[SonyPS360]

@Gimmemorebubblez

Let's all pretend that making a completely superior piece of tech (kinect) is the same as ripping off a webcam with apps (eye toy).

[Nodoze]

Kinect = superior tech HAHAHAHAHA

Sony360 = TOOL

[omi25p]

OMG! You know that its a new type of controller just by a picture!

[MusashiBlack]

Skynet?

[greenpowerz]

LOL

I was thinking that.

Symbolic of the fusion/interaction between man and machine is my real guess though.

-Gamer *Xbox on*

-Xbox *what would you like to do*

-Gamer *run Killer Instinct*

-Xbox *loading*

Voice commands & console voice feedback among other advanced functionality and features(motion/andvanced smart system software? I wonder if this is why the box is kept so secret, features like these and the powerful hardware needed for it)

Advanced new Kinect hardware and software blended with specialized Ease Of Access-like software found in later MSFT Windows OS.

[malokevi]

drool... *gargle*

[M-M]

LOL.

[Y_5150]

Terminator Kinect! Yeah...

[XXXL]

"I'm Solo,I'm Han Solo, I'm Han Solo Solo...."

[aviator189]

It certainly could mean many things. I just hope it amounts to something cool or useful.

[Gildarts]

Anyone eagle eyed in here?

[MikeMyers]

The red dots on the robot hand could indicate the points of interest the new Kinect camera can detect.

[Gigglefist]

That robot hand... THAT is the new controller! It's the Powerglove 2.0!

I swear if it doesn't come bundled with "The Wizard 2: Electric Boogaloo", I quit.

[FITgamer]

So Kinect 2.0 is God?

[SpideySpeakz]

No, we are God. Kinect 2.0 is just a mirror that reflects our creation (robot)..

[FITgamer]

So that whole bit about Kinect always watching you was no joke.

[Robtherobot2013]

What makes you think it's Kinect 2.0?

It could be a new game.

[xXBlondieVanHarlowXx]

OR it can be Kinect 2.0..

Which one is more likely? lol

[Robtherobot2013]

I really don't know. What makes you think the photo is about Kinect? I see 6 disagrees but no answer.

[SDF Repellent]

It is quite simple really to figure out. see all 5 fingers from the human and robot form? it means Kinect 2.0 can now recognize and track all 5 of your fingers. Imagine playing a tactical FPS and you can summon command with using finger command. 5/21 can't come soon enough.

[True_Samurai]

That gave me goose bumps :-)

[Narutone66]

Will giving it the middle finger ask it to shut down?

[Garbanjo001]

Stand down Skynet-Kinect-Xbox-Robot-Chick en. It's a picture of the Sisteen Chapel, and if in fact it has ANY relevance to Kinect, who cares? I'm curious to see what the new Xbox is going to be like, I'm stoked. I can't wait. I can totally imagine new voice commands, maybe hand motions. We are already getting that kind of movement on Smart Tv's, why not? MS has some interesting stuff up their sleaves, and I can't wait to see but looking at some douchebags tweet doesn't make me drool. I'm already buying a PS4, unless MS just shocks and awes the shit out of me.

[YodaCracker]

Finally we will see the true potential of Kinect with the power of the next Xbox. The Xbox 360 has really been the biggest thing holding back Kinect. Simply shipping with every unit will really allow developers to experiment knowing every person who buys their game will have the Kinect camera. And with all the extra processing power, Kinect will actually work like it's supposed to!

[malokevi]

wrd.

[VonBraunschweigg]

And how is Kinect supposed to work?

Take a favourite genre, say FPS. Kinect 2.0 can detect the movement of your body, your stance, your limbs and all 10 fingers, all very precise.

Now here come the Locust, the Covenant, the terrorists. On Blu ray, so they keep on coming. How are you going to put them down? By pulling imaginary triggers and mimicing every combatmove on your carpet? Fun for one night, precise for one hour, after that people will go back to playing with a controller.

Same with Forza. Hands need to rest on a wheel, not in mid-air.

Kinect can be good, but imo not with games and genres Xbox is loved for. Fable is a 'good' example of how Kinect works, I sure hope now they improved Kinect the other main Xbox series don't follow that path.

[Urusernamesucks]

Illumiroom will also show the kinects true pontential.

[My_Name_BTW_Is_Dante]

Using Kinect to put yourself into the game obviously.

[LogicStomper]

Did it remind anyone of this??

[SpideySpeakz]

After God created Adam and Eve, he reached out to his creation.
The robot is a symbol of human creation, and we are god.
But God never touched Adam. It was more of a reflection in the mirror, but through God's image. This is definitely Kinect 2.0.. The robot (Xbox 720) mimics and mirrors your every movement. I love these kinds of teases and puzzles that the gaming industry gives us.

[SonyAddict]

The future is here!, cybersex 2.0

[urwifeminder]

The barrier between man and machine has been broken.

[WitWolfy]

Probably only a metaphor for... "touch the future" or something similiar to it...

[MasterCornholio]

The core loved Kinect with the 360 in games like Steel Batallion and Rise of Nightmares which is why they will fall in love with Kinect 2.0 games on the 720.

Jokes aside.

Microsoft, Kinect 2.0 better not be the main focus of the 720 because many people hate the device. If you go full casual (tropic thunder reference) then your fans will abandon you except for the Kinect lovers.

[GameCents]

I find you irksome and worthy of rebuking. . .I'll just ignore you instead. Just like Gravelord.

[nigelp520]

Hope its a tease for FULGORE in Killer Instinct 3 ;)

[cedaridge]

Xbox reveal Tomorrow! I will be at work so I am DVR it right NOW.

[jeeves86]

There's not enough cheeto dust on the hands.

[Urusernamesucks]

*Doritos*

[listenkids]

You know the "Infinity" was someone on reddits Photoshop work?

[NewsForSnowflakes]

It annoys me that people are calling it 'Infinity'. People are idiots.

[goldwyncq]

That looks like it's part of a bigger image.

[kaozgamer]

Nokia

[Marugo]

Nokia & Android

[AllroundGamer]

That probably means a lot more Kinect games and even less core games...

[Nodoze]

Wow. What a blatantly anti religous post. So the creation of Adam means nothing? Granted this is just a painting at the Vatican...but the symbolism is pretty blatant.

To Microsoft, this means everything
http://media.photobucket.co...

[SITH]

Adam was not real. It was all just a story of fiction. Question, why does every depiction of Adam and eve have a belly button? Hehehe

[SITH]

Xbox power glove.

[MattyG]

Fusion?

[MohammedAlShalan]

this robotic hand reminds me of crysis somehow

doesnt matter

[grimmweisse]

Probably kinect 2.0 tech demo, showing how cool it is, but in reality the games will be utter rubbish. The original kinect sold because of hype, and I bet MS is gonna do it again. Only this we will see if people will be dumb enough to buy it......I say yes!

[Shaner_Bock]

Hey, Prophet! Pull my finger!

[windblowsagain]

The outstretched finger is to control the cablebox, I mean xbox720.

[dcbronco]

I think this might Microsoft has created a new type of machine. The PS4 and 720 will both include many HSA(Heterogeneous Systems Architecture)features. Many believe this architecture is the future of computers. I think maybe MS has the first fully HSA machine. God created man and man created the next new kind of computer. A new level of power.

MS has said E3 will be about the games. Tomorrow will be about the hardware, the interface and what can be done with them.

[threefootwang]

I think the human hand needs to have $60 in his hand and the robot hand needs to have a little "MS" logo stamped on it. Then you know it's MS official!

[Tzuno]

It has that bring virtual reality in your room aura who knows. Also looks like Nokia welcome screen. :)

[PooEgg]

I am willing to wait to see what they have up their sleeves, but if the announcement is all about Kinect, and other non-gaming applications you can count me unimpressed.

[linkenski]

Please don't say this means Leap gesture technology! I want a normal controller.

[isyourhouseonfire]

Very cool. Is the game-changer that we can expect Microsoft to inject into the next generation? Maybe!

[AO1JMM]

Daft Punk at the reveal confirmed!

:P
