[rumor] Phoenix: code name for the future Xbox prototype

According to our sources, Microsoft has already put a code name on its future Xbox prototype for the developers : it's Phoenix. We still don't have any technical specs for the moment, but the Phoenix is said to be a real evolution compared to the Xbox 360. Some studios in North of America have already begun projects on this prototype. We hope to learn more about this soon.

A) This would kick Major ass because I am from Phoenix, Arizona.
B) It would be fitting if they learned from their mistakes and built a bullet-proof system after going down in flames with the horrible hardware of the 360.
C)It's a shame codenames never become the final product name, lol. Because I happen to like it. Cool name and it almost pokes fun at themselves in a way and (Hopefully) shows the direction they are moving in.
D) This is way to early =)

ALL!!!! get that first word? ALL!!! companies including sony and nintendo begin work on there next system almost immediately after there newest console releases. They don't design it, build it and let it sit until the release day, lol, they test theory's, play with idea's and do random experiments with various idea's to get a sense of where to actually go, what direction with the hardware for when it does get built.

If the system come out by 2012 and that seems to be a general consensus, they wont solidify an actual build of the system until 7 or 8 months before it's actual production so early 2012 it should then be set in stone.
So relax there's no new system on it's way yet.

Got it?:)) Also a key word here and it's the first that's posted and has brackets around it is "RUMOR".

Oh yeah, the hardware isn't horrible as you say, it's quite incredible cept the early proc. problem. Remind me to never hire you as a salesman:)) JK:)

UnSelf6184d ago

phoenix is just the prototypes name like the Wii was orginally called the Nintendo Revolution

xhairs96184d ago

After the initial problem in the 360 being over heating...why name your next project after a FLAMING bird?

Peow6184d ago

To rise above the ashes from an RRoD?

Kidding, people, kidding.

I'm just sayin that songs the sh1t, now don't play that song no mo:)

SixTwoTwo6184d ago (Edited 6184d ago )

It looks like M$ is just throwing these systems out every 4 years, losing billions in the process, just so they can control the entire market in the end. Its actually ingenius because they know Sony and Nintendo don't have the funds to keep pace with them. They'll just outspend them until they leave the market. Then M$ will monopolize the console market to the point where no other company will ever be able gain a reasonable foothold in it. Just like they did in the PC market with Windows. It will cost them billions in the beginning but once they gain absolute control of the market, they will bring in billions. They will turn the Xbox into the next Windows OS cashcow. In the future, if you want to play games, your only choice will be an Xbox.

/well thought out sarcasm

TheXgamerLive6184d ago (Edited 6184d ago )

Go read my first post in the gamer zone for an actual console design process, M'kay?

Also, this is just rumor and it's not like there's not ohhhhhhhh 20 + rumors posted on this site on a daily basis, so it's not a shock to you, is it?

juuken6184d ago

Wow XGamer, if it's a rumor, then why are you getting so worked up about it?

Deadman646183d ago

juuken6183d ago

Deadman646183d ago

I dont want an EVOLUTION in the next consoles.I want a console REVOLUTION!

meepmoopmeep6184d ago

Microsoft Corp has codenamed their next Xbox Pheonix because of the overheating and burning down of homes due to the Xbox 360's poor hardware. That's why Pheonix is the chosen name because it needs to "Rise from the ashes' after burning down consumer's homes.

The Sony Limp D1ck.
Because the hardware never rises to the occasion of it's software. Then you give it FIRMware updates but they don't help, bottlenecks still occur and your left unsatisfied with your experience.
Then you find out yout girl goes home with the Xbox Man, he can perform w/o error at a cool 60 pps (pumps per second) and continue making her experience feel so "LIVE" with many many multiple downloads:)!!!

Ok, now go home lil boy, try again next year.

Again, try again next year, if you don't know, next year means 12 months from now and not 5 years later like most sony game productions.

juuken6184d ago

The Evil Within Deserved More: A Great Horror Series Left Behind

The Outerhaven writes: While I hold Bethesda's The Evil Within series as some of the best Survival Horror games available, it's clear that Bethesda has no intention of revisiting the series. While Capcom is still working on its Resident Evil series, I look back at the now-dead survival horror series from Bethesda, wondering why the series was left wide open, and yet still not revisited.

An OK horror series left behind. It had some great ideas, but it never knew how to play to its strengths. Instead, it came out like just another RE4 clone.

I would love for a third entry to come out, but it needs to learn to lean in on the psychological aspect and move away from the generic "pew pew" ideology at the center of the gameplay loop. It doesn't need to abandon it; it just needs to put it into better context, is all.

Also, try a first-person perspective instead. Too many 3rd-person games with nothing to offer but an avatar taking precious screen space. At least make it an actual option and not that janky-ass mess the second game pretended to have.

Venoxn4g14h ago

Love both games, hope that we will get third game

PS5/Pro/Switch 2 version of RDR2 seems most likely. I’d love a RDR3 but that seems years away

Cacabunga1d ago

Id be happy for just a 60fps patch

OmegaSoldati23h ago(Edited 23h ago)

Agreed, but at the same time RD2 came out in 2018. Could it be a remake of Red Dead 1?

Spoiler:

Marston died in the end of Red Dead and Red Dead 2 is set before that. Im curious now. What news could it be?

mkis00716h ago

I'm pretty sure the next game will be another prequel as the story really has no where to go as far as being a western after red dead redemption. The next game will end with the ferry boat incident.

Profchaos1d 1h ago (Edited 1d 1h ago )

Their contracts are iron clas if they leak anything legit they are threatened with immense legal action.

My hopes for what this is are minimal its probably a meet and greet with the cast

I dont see why they would be involved in a upgraded version of rdr2 when the dialogue hasn't changed

thorstein22h ago

He seems to have been cleared to do this as he purposely picked up the game, streamed it, and made the announcement.
