Adam91 Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 Epic Games vice president Mark Rein has dropped the next-gen bombshell by confirming that their mighty engine which powers hit games such as Gears of War, and Batman Arkham City is already running on next gen hardware. At the DICE summit in Las Vegas this week, Rein confirmed that Epic would reveal Unreal Engine 4 later this year. The Unreal Engine 4 is also currently running with “systems we can’t name yet,” Rein is reported to have said during the DICE Awards. Recently we reported that alpha forms of the next-generation Xbox console which could be named “XBOX 8″ – not 8 because it’s the eighth Xbox, but because it’s the eighth generation home console and heavily shares the same software as upcoming Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8. It was reported to us that the next-gen console was on display by invite only during CES 2012, running a version of Battlefield 3 in next-gen visuals – most likely to be up on par with current high-spec gaming PC’s. Microsoft previously reported that there will be no next-gen Xbox announcement at E3 2012, but then again we also remember the amount of times they denied an Xbox 360 Slim console before that was the surprise of E3 2010! I personally dont think this will be the name of the next xbox, im not a fan of the name either. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zuko 'Zarhamee Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 Well, i don't like the name Xbox8. Seems stupid. Nice find though Adam. Xbox 8 is a pretty lame name. I was expecting something more along the lines of the Xbox Loop or the Xbox Infinity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donut Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 I don't really like the name, but still a good find Adamj. Hope this is not the official name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PuRe PoNy Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 I'm not feeling the name 'Xbox 8' all the other ones had cool names like 'Premium' and 'Elite'. Should have been something like 'Xbox Supreme'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorB77 Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 I think they should turn the eight sideways and call it Xbox Infinity 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCPO Mayh3m Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 Maybe not Xbox 8, but Xbox ∞ (infinity)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rentless Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 I believe they could find a better name then Xbox 8. Sounds kinda bland to me, thats just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperIntendant Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 That bit about being up to spec with high end PCs isn't true at all... from what we know about it, it seems to be using 2 year old low end graphics cards along with other tech that is at the same level.

TR Talon Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 Yeah I'm not feeling it either but I don't think Microsoft will name their next console that. I mean I don't know but I doubt it, it sounds like a project name like how Kinect used to be Natal. Wasn't the last name "Xbox 720" anyway? I can maybe see the 8th console called Xbox 8 haha but seriously, what DoctorB77 said: Halo 5 will look killer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
