Como me aburro en el curro, voy a explicar porque no creo al tio este:
First of all, for any of the GAF members reading this (or anyone else for that matter) that actually believed the online-required rumor, well…. you’re either stupid, very gullible, or a fanboy. Reading the posts some of you made over the past few weeks leads me to believe that mostly fanboyism was involved. So, I’ll make this very clear:
You are not required to be connected to the internet in order to play Durango games and MS were NEVER considering doing such a thing. Now please, just read that last sentence over and over again until it sinks in. Done? Good.
Respuesta de fanboy a la vistaaaaaaaaa. Y mas cuando dice lo que resalto en negrita... no se lo cree nadie.
There was a reason why MS hired so many former IBM and AMD employees. I’ll admit I’m not an electrical engineer (I’m in software) so I won’t pretend to know the ins and outs of how the 360 SOC integrates into the Durango motherboard. All I know, and all I need to know about this new change is that I (or a game dev) can use the 360 SOC in parallel with the original Durango hardware.
y mas adelante dice
Xbox Mini/Xbox TV: Yes, this is happening, although as far as I know, it’s a whole different team over at MS that are handling this. As has been reported its main purpose is to compete with Apple TV, so expect this thing to be small and around $100.
It contains the 360 SOC (similar to the one in the Durango), however no disc drive is included (to decrease size). But of course you can still play any XBLA/Games on Demand game. That’s all I really know about the xTV so I’ll leave it at that. Thurrott seems to know more than anyone else about this, so go ask him.
Joder, ¿sabes o no sabes?
Ya digo que todo esto lo puede haber escrito cualquiera con la info que se conoce actualmente, pero una persona que sabe del tema y se moja el culo hablaría con propiedad, ¿a que te dedicas majo? Primero que todo el mundo sabe que Microsoft guarda con mucho recelo toda la información sobre Durango, menos a los programadores... que en vez de hacerse como en todas las empresas y dividir el trabajo, los de Microsoft deben ser unos autenticos genios y les dan toda la información en bloque. Será porque confian en sus empleados...
OS/Services: I wish I knew more about this, but I honestly don’t. I have no clue what sort of new ideas MS are going to bring to the table this gen, but I’m certainly expecting them to amaze.
The only thing that I do know for definite is that Durango will be running Windows 8. It will essentially be the full version of the OS, minus the desktop side of things. This means it’ll be running the new WinRT framework, which as a side effect also means that contrary to popular belief MS will be the most indie friendly of all the big 3 next gen.
This is because any app/game that is created for the Windows app store will (after adding controller support of course) be playable on Durango.
In other words, any random person worldwide can pay Microsoft a $60 license fee (for the Windows Store) and submit their app/game to the store where millions of people can then download/buy it. No expensive development kits needed.
Mas de lo mismo, que sabras tu sobre lo que quiere cobrar o no microsoft a los juegos indie que se porten a Durango...
No me creo nada de lo que ha puesto, ni los que han trabajado en la arquitectura de la consola sabe lo que ha hecho el resto y un programador lo va a saber... De Durango, de Mini, de kinect, de juegos indie...
