I know its a low res image and its still work in progress, but I expect a lot better than this. Having seen the Madden and PGR360 screens, this is pretty poor in comparison. Lets hope things buck up in the next couple of months.

See:

config (02:47:13):
that isn't an "i" in the pad shot - it's a 1
config (02:47:29):
the project gotham pic has a "3" in the car's headlight
swalters (02:47:30):
really?
swalters (02:47:44):
yeah, i saw/heard about that
config (02:51:57):
here's what all the image have in them...
config (02:52:03):
Joypad: over laid with a ghost "1" - http://news.spong.com/detail/assetView.asp?mode=console&viewid=161463&type=11&prid=8547
Gotham: rotated "3" - http://www.ourcolony.net/thesecret/1426.jpg
Memcard: "E" or, when rotated 180, a ghost "7" and "3" - http://www.ourcolony.net/images/gallery/3737115.jpg
Gotham2: "S" mask - http://ourcolony.net/images/gallery/05271122875.jpg
Kameo: "I" mask - http://ourcolony.net/images/gallery/1140105.jpg

So we have either:

13ESI or 1373SI
swalters (02:52:37):
f**king. hell.
config (02:52:46):
mean anything to you?
config (02:54:11):
I think the next couple of "reward" images might give something more solid
swalters (02:54:25):
nothing to me. or google...
config (02:55:55):
Plus, there's a "hidden" page for the gamem8ker that contains a bunch of logo photos...
http://www.ourcolony.net/gamem8ker/index.html
Notice something about those images?
They all contain binary.
swalters (02:58:18):
oh god
swalters (02:58:35):
*scared*
config (02:58:46):
LOL
config (02:59:03):
just look at them - they all of 0101 or 0111 somewhere on the piccy
here they are in order of appearance
config (02:59:14):
0111
0110
1010

config (02:59:46):
note - none of them are above 26!
config (03:02:09):
converted to text (1 = A, 2 = B, etc) gives you: gfjfnf cbnanjfgf
swalters (03:02:22):
LOL!!!
swalters (03:02:46):
WORLD EXCLUSIVE: gfjfnf cbnanjfgf
config (03:02:51):
if it's anything, it looks like it's encoded. Tried ROT13, but no dice
swalters (03:03:19):
i can't see any anagrams there...
config (03:03:43):
if anything, it's a substition encoding
config (03:05:13):
trouble is, there's not enough text there to get a good distribution

Found the answer on the net, apparently this was up very early on.

0111 0110 1010 0110 1110 0110 0000 0100 0010 1110 0001 1110 1100 1010 0111 0110

Reverse the whole sequence, group in 8s

01101110 01100101 01111000 01110100 00100000 01100111 01100101 01101110

Binary - Decimal - ASCII

01101110 - 110 - n
01100101 - 101 - e
01111000 - 120 - x
01110100 - 116 - t
00100000 - 32 -
01100111 - 103 - g
01100101 - 101 - e
01101110 - 110 - n

Could be Elder Scrolls: Oblivion. The elder scrolls series are the best non-MMO RPG's on any system, so MS could do worse than having oblivion as a lauch title, or even near launch title. Really, i'm amazed sometimes by console gamers' ideas of what an RPG is. Most console "RPG's" are what I would call adventure games.

How convoluted?

If I spent all that time decoding that s**t I'd want the Holy Grail, not fscking "Next Gen".

Yeah, this looks more like a current generation game like Fable. And I thought high-res anti-aliasing was 'free' on the Xbox 360...

You guys all seem to be like arg that screen is crap but what are u basing it on? That Madden pic a while back? NEWS FLASH THAT PIC AINT IN GAME FOOTAGE ITS JUST CRAPPY CUTSCENE

The truth is this new xbox pic is probably quite accurate to what ur gona get. I mean look at the individually rendered grass and flowers. Top stuff, There comes a time when technology alone will not make consoles better. So better graphics dont mean alot, The shot is not a large improvement over the old Xbox graphics because the industry is reaching its limits for power processing and rendering.

maybe Nintendo have got something right for once by going to try and innovate games rather than repeat them. The prospect of sequel after sequel just makes me want to not bother and stick with my good old fashioned newspaper (Halo 3, Sudeki 2, PGR 2....BORING give us some new games.)
