Next gen Xbox disk installation required

4.2
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.

Activez- So we really have to wait till E3 to hear from M$ on the new console? I wish they'd do a mini conference like Sony did.


They won't do that because Sony is always better than Xbox.

Poi_Jr I will just wait for Microsoft to release the information themselves.


Why you think this information is unreliable?


It wasn't a source from Microsoft so its not fully true reliable

So far there is nothing I've heard about this console that I like. I will hold off on saying anything definitive for the time being until Microsoft officially announces everything about this console, but the chances of me buying it is slim to nil.

We can officially say Microsoft hates GameStop. I want GS to shut down.

Brandownage27 Does this means no more used games? If so, say goodbye to Gamestop. Thats 70% of their store.


No it shouldn't this just means that you need an installer for the next-gen xbox. Says nothing about the games needing to be installed.
