Good-Bye BC, Hello FC

One of GameisOver.net’s inside sources has informed us that Microsoft is hard at work on the X-box 360 successor. (Which doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out) But here is the interesting thing: The next console is rumored to contain a combination central and graphic processing unit. The big rumor though at this point is that they are working on a way to make next generation Xbox games playable on the current 360, forward compatibility (FC) so to speak. Based on this information, the way we here at GameisOver.net see it is very similar to what we saw with those Burger King games for the 360. You have a game that is playable on the older hardware but for enhanced graphics and other features it should be played on the newest system. Its a very interesting concept and is actually pretty similar to the philosophy taken by HD-DVD titles that were released on the combo format, owners without the newest hardware can still invest and view in the newest “software”. It’ll be interesting to see how this all pans out. Keep it locked here for more info. 1 comment
