Thumbs up *Merged* Microsoft XNA
microsoft has announced a new piece of development software to be used for producing xbox games.

XNA is what the software is called and its hoped that this becomes a standard for the xbox, windows, and peripherals.....

Re: microsoft changes development software.....
This is interesting and I suppose it means that PC games would work on the Xbox or at least Xbox 2.

Re: microsoft changes development software.....
Something like that, I think.

XNA sounds very very good, & could be extremely promising.

The demos look good too, & they were made on things with sub-XBox2 specs.

There are a couple of interesting threads about this at BXB -

What I've read, people are thinking that future XBox2 games will work on both XBox 2 & on PCs running Windows Longhorn (& PC games for Longhorn will also run on XBox2).

More standardisation, easier to develop, bigger userbase.....

Re: X-Box 2 Demo?
Amazing....

Remember however that Graphics are usually a lot worse in game rather than video but still its going to bbe amazing....

Also will the tech specs of the xbox 2 be able to handle the power?

XNA is for IN-GAME graphics (as far as I'm aware).
