According to our sources, Microsoft has already put a code name on its future Xbox prototype for the developers : it's Phoenix. We still don't have any technical specs for the moment, but the Phoenix is said to be a real evolution compared to the Xbox 360. Some studios in North of America have already begun projects on this prototype. We hope to learn more about this soon.
A brutal reset, a smarter story, and a return to what made it great—Mortal Kombat (2011) revived the series.
Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.
15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
The name "Hewson" carries a special weight for anyone who grew up during the golden age of British computing. As the son of Andrew Hewson—the man behind legendary publisher Hewson Consultants—Rob Hewson didn't just grow up playing video games; he learned to spell his name from their title screens. However, Rob didn't just rest on his family's 8-bit laurels. From leading major LEGO franchises at TT Games to tackling the high-stakes world of technical porting at Huey Games, Rob has carved out a unique path in an ever-evolving industry. In this candid interview Rob to discussed the burden and beauty of a family legacy, the technical "scar tissue" left by the ambitious Hydrophobia, and why porting a masterpiece like Inscryption to consoles is far more than a simple copy-paste job.
To celebrate Tomb Raider: Legend's 20th anniversary, the official channels have shared an early in-development gameplay demo.
A) This would kick Major ass because I am from Phoenix, Arizona.
B) It would be fitting if they learned from their mistakes and built a bullet-proof system after going down in flames with the horrible hardware of the 360.
C)It's a shame codenames never become the final product name, lol. Because I happen to like it. Cool name and it almost pokes fun at themselves in a way and (Hopefully) shows the direction they are moving in.
D) This is way to early =)
but hay... atleast the can make a joke about it.
Wiki quote
"phoenix, a mythical bird that dies in flames and is reborn from the ashes"
yup... sounds like a xbox
It looks like M$ is just throwing these systems out every 4 years, losing billions in the process, just so they can control the entire market in the end. Its actually ingenius because they know Sony and Nintendo don't have the funds to keep pace with them. They'll just outspend them until they leave the market. Then M$ will monopolize the console market to the point where no other company will ever be able gain a reasonable foothold in it. Just like they did in the PC market with Windows. It will cost them billions in the beginning but once they gain absolute control of the market, they will bring in billions. They will turn the Xbox into the next Windows OS cashcow. In the future, if you want to play games, your only choice will be an Xbox.
/well thought out sarcasm
I dont want an EVOLUTION in the next consoles.I want a console REVOLUTION!
Microsoft Corp has codenamed their next Xbox Pheonix because of the overheating and burning down of homes due to the Xbox 360's poor hardware. That's why Pheonix is the chosen name because it needs to "Rise from the ashes' after burning down consumer's homes.
