MS making dedicated Graphics Department ...

Rumor is MS is making some sort of graphics department with engineers who will make sure every game pushes system...http://www.gameguru.in/microsoft-xbox-360/2010/06/firebird-studios-dedicated-graphics-department-for-xbox-360/MS making dedicated Graphics Department ...
I would wait for a source from a trusted site to confirm that before posting it here.MS making dedicated Graphics Department ...
X10 is just around the corner, I say we wait until then
That's silly. You dont have to ''max out'' a system with every game you make. Some of the best gamesI have played and still play are older games.If they really just want a ''OMG lookie at the graphics!'' game, just make another shooter or action adventure game with small areas and bloated texture/polygon counts. Then we can stand around and go ''hay this is the best looking game ever.... I'm playing in a 10x10 room but hay, it looks great!''

Makes sense. Sony's had the ICE team doing this kind of thing for a few years now aparently. Although I would have thought MS would have something like this already.

so Sony is ICE and Microsoft is Fire?



can't we all just get along :lol:
lol, i totally beleive that, after hearin about the custom engine for Halo reach, Halo reach will be the new gfx king, MS will destroy Sony's games with its new tech., MS shall use the DX 10 features of the x360 GPU.....etci bet if any one of these rumors delivers, the first two were proven wrong already, we shall see about the others.

that would be awesome. hopefully its true remember in less than a week X10 will have came. I'll bet my money that they'll announce it there.
to people that say this is dumb, I think M just doesn't want to fall behiend in graphics in terms of sony vs MS. it'd make the 360 look bad, beside a I doubt the studios will suddenly get lazy about the game now that graphics are there. only good can come from this, I was really bummed about MS's closing down studios. now they oen 3?343 firebird and a natal dev. MS actually seems to be pumping money behiend its game division now.
That site seems to be inferring an awful lot just from looking at two employees job descriptions on linkedin... :?

True, but it looks like they have no choice but to compete with Sony, who seem to do nothing but push graphics this gen.

Hopefully they'll match sony exclusives which look a generation ahead of any 360 games. We'll see what happens with Reach.

Dude, don't dig your grave. We've all seen how Halo Reach looks, and it looks great and a big improvement over Halo 3/ODST but in no way, shape or form can it be considered ''Graphics King'. Sure, I understand it's still got a ways to go, and I admit that it will get some polish and definitely look better, but don't expect day %26 night level of changes.

There are only a few PS3 exclusives that look the best (U2, KZ2 etc) but they do not in any way look a generation ahead of 360 games. Please...
