Forums - Microsoft Discussion - Xbox 720 is going to be killer.

Based of the information that I have been getting over the last few years this system is going to be killer.

We know the Xbox 720 is going to be a beast of a machine there is no doubt about that.

I am excited because of the (rumored) 8 Gigs of memory and the 50 Gig of Bluray storage.

Now Imagine all those graphics in the following games:

Halo 5

Gears of war 4

Perfect Dark 2

Forza 5

Respawn Game (Call of Duty Devs)

Ryse

and other unanounced games.

Now Imagine all those games having Kinect integration of some sort, where you use your voice or certain gestures for in-game commands.

Imagine being able to talk to NPC's and watching them listen to you or even react in a way you never thought they would.

Imagine playing with the new xbox controller and being able to seamlessly chat or video chat with friends through skype and even switching between friends

with a touch of a button.

There is a whole lot more on my mind, but I won't bother to elaborate. I am just really excited to see what Microsoft will show off.

Anyone that thinks Microsoft will drop the ball, haven't been paying attention.

May 21st can't come soon enough. 14 days Left.

Viral marketing used to be much better in the past....

Perfect Dark 2?

Let's hope it is better than Perfect Dark Zero...

Good point, but Microsoft is doen't need that the xbox is established the Xbox Republic will spread the word. LOL!



Has a Perfect Dark 2 been announced or has there been rumors for it?

Would be cool if so.



There is also a lot to worry about.

Kinect hasn't been good ... at all... so far. So to assume it will be great or improve any of those titles is just making an ass out of u and me.

Reports have all indicated that MS has had hardware and software related delays in prep for its launch. This stems back from 2012. So I doubt you'll see more than 2 exclusives at launch. One will be solely Kinect based. (read kinect sports 2 / Nintendoland type of game)

The hardware will NOT be technically as fast/powerful as PS4, but well ahead of Wii U. Likely this won't matter, but keep in mind that had X360 not had the 1yr head start, it would have been 3rd place all generation.

The off and on rumors about forced internet connect to play even solo player games is a big deal. It will hurt a substantial % of users in every territory the world over. Granted I don't think its true and whatever they do require in terms of DRM will be the same on PS4.

I honestly think Sony may be the best one prepped for its next-gen launch solely because they had the most issues last gen and took the time to best prepare. Not that I don't love my Wii U, but no one can ignore the items Nintendo failed to be fully ready for. I'm just glad there is no RROD type issue as the rest will resolve themselves by Xmas.



I hope Perfect Dark 2 isn't as bad as Perfect Dark Zero xD

It's another rumor but a strong one considering Microsoft need more games and Microsoft own the rights.

Plus I am a fan and the first game did ok in sales.

All they need to do is fix the controls the first one had bad controls.

Everything else about the game I loved.
