^^Not at all. They're talking about basically having the game be great on the 360, and then super-upgraded (not just graphically) on the Nextbox. Think, say, the original Xbox version of Splinter Cell: Double Agent compared to the 360 version.

 

ok so basically remake entire games.. that is retarded. Microsoft better have billions of dollars to waste in the game division. oh wait.. they dont.

 

they would probably only "remake" the biggest hits like halo and gears of war. Say it takes two years per game ... I imagine a lot of that time is taken up by writing a story and characters, working out how its going to play ect, a lot of that will already be done so all they have to concentrate on is "upgrading" the gameplay and graphics, again it will probably only be the biggest games that see forward compatibility.
