Did you guys read it? The picture is just a "fake" but it's the only fake they are taking seriously. The X2 has been removed and the edges has been made sexier. -------------------  | |

quote Seamore28The picture is a fake in the sense that it's a concept model of what an Xbox fan wants the next Xbox to look like. From the quote, it says that it's the only one being considered. ------------------- | |

quoteActually the info (about halo 2.5 I mentioned) comes from december EGM, Slashdot and XBN here it is from the horse mouth: http://news.teamxbox.com/xbox/7408/Halo-25-and-Xbox-2-The-Bomb/ Unfortunately they are in fact rumors not confirmed by MS (they have been extremely quiet about XBOX2), however if you check the last part of my post IT DOES MAKE sense. Halo 2.5 wil be launched along with the xbox2 because the XBOX2 IS NOT BAKCWARDS COMPATIBLE (its made a different CPU so it CANT be compatible thats a fact) so is 2.5 or no halo for x2 at all. And the only improvements they could add are the ones they cut from halo 2 (ATV, Pelican and the ending) otherwise I really find it difficult for someone to buy the xbox 2 on release. How different could Halo 2.5 look? well from a technical point of view (Im a 3d graphics programmer) Halo 1 and Halo2 could actually be the same engine with extra features, after all the biggest difference between halo 1 and 2 is improved physics, shaders and extra poly count. (the biggest differences are located on the network engine and the control sceheme, AI layers though) compare a screenshot from halo 1 to 2 and then extrapolate more or less how would halo 2.5 would be like (whoa!) my guess is that it will look like halo 2 without any popup, more detailed models and a lot more shadows and environment effects (like fog) using the extra shaders in the xbox 2. Btw since the xbox 2 is not backwards compatible it CANT use the exact same engine, at the very least it will be a port. it uses XNA instead of the XDK. While they are being very quiet about it, everybody in the media knows that the new consoles will be announced in the E3 (or the GDC) THIS YEAR, the xbox2, the ps3 and whatever Nintendo is working on (the cube2 I guess) Im not sure if they are going to be released by q4 yet at this point nobody knows. (but most probably they wont) Some other games expected (rumored) for x2: Dead or alive 4 (cronos) Fable (*2.5) FINAL FANTASY! (online and the new instalment) Halo (*2.5) Unreal 3 (* working title) There is also a onslaught of new _original_ games that will be released. (Some of them look extremely cool) -War devil (*! check the trailer at gametrailers.com) http://www.gametrailers.com/gt_vault/t_wardevil.html Btw: check the release date of war devil.  One last note: That info about halo 2.5 in team xbox, the rumor about 3 different machines from the enquirer, that trailer from war-devil and the fact the xbox 2 will use a powerpc based chip IS ALL the "info" we have to date about the xbox 2. AND IS ALL unconfirmed by MS. Everything else (including the post that started this thread) is most probably in fact utter bullshit. Cdemon: It's called speculation, which is the same thing you just spent a good thirty-minutes posting. Let's try to stick to the topic.

thats rediculous that theyre working on 2.5 rather than 3. who the hell cares whether or not Halo 2 is in high-def or not? if all theyre changing is just the resolution, then thats a waste of time. but if they change the ending, it would be a little bit more worth buying. only if they were to include all that they left out in this installment (sprinting, dodging, grenade rolling, peeking around corners, melee combos/CQC, and the ATV) i would definitely get an Xbox 2 just for that. but id much rather they focus on Halo 3 right now and include all that plus the choice of being pretty much any human soldier or covenant soldier in MP. that would rock. -------------------  Working on: Castle Crashers, Mercenaries 2, Too Human | |

yeah im pretty sure i can drive an atv without flipping it over. its not that hard when you are careful. plus its not like they cant make it not flip as easy. they could just give it the same handling as the warthog, only faster. it would have been just fine. ------------------- Working on: Castle Crashers, Mercenaries 2, Too Human | |

I think we're taking this far to seriously has anyone heard back from Inside Bungie because he doesn't go on here much. Second this thread goes pretty fast in a few days I mean theres still heaps more posts to go but we'll have to make a new thread eventually. ------------------- | |

I agree. But look at what happened with H2. There was tons of stuff planned that really was going to be in the game but never made it. This information may be accurate but even if it is right now, I'm sure it would change dramatically before the game is ever released. ------------------- Come check out Forever Endeavor!: http://www.foreverendeavor.net | |
