Earlier today, a few images of the "Microsoft Durango XDK Documentation Setup" leaked on the internet. This document is for licensed game developers only, and it reveals tons of unannounced information regarding the next-gen Xbox to the public. Much more has been added to the documentation since the last time it was leaked.
What really threw us off was the following:
"All games will be installed on the hard drive. Play from optical disc will not be supported."
What do you think? We'd say this is proof that they will include, at least, a 320GB hard drive in the base console at launch.
We also noticed that upon installation of the documentation, all of the tools and plugins needed for developers to create games are installed to Visual Studio 2012. Older versions of Visual Studio seem to have been abandoned.
DLT If it is true, it wouldn't bother me. All the games I play regularly I install to my hard drive because they have a habit of breaking.
Doesn't that take up a lot of your drive though ?
No, not if you have a 250gb, each game is 4-8GB so its pretty clean.
Exactly, I have the 250 or 320 gb hd. I can't remember which one exactly.
I have 15 games at least installed. I have data from 90 games. DLC from probably 20.
I have 190 GB left, each game takes up like 6 GB. Skyrim was 8 I think, Mass Effect was two disks of 6. Etc. I even have a few GOD games.
