Damn, you got my curiosity going and I checked out some screenshots.
It IS incredible.
It was an issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly a few issues back. It was just one picture, with a caption something along the lines of "Yes, Madden will look this good on the next generation systems".
The picture looked pretty damn real.
I don't think it was an actual screenshot, just a rendering of what it may look like, but it was still damn impressive.
Just think of the jump from the first Playstation and Nintendo 64 to what there is now with the PS2, GameCube and XBOX. It will probably be a similar jump in quality.

There goes another 300-400 bucks out of my pocket to have the newest technology. :P
I saw some screenshots (maybe renderings) of this Fable-like game and it definitely looked VERY real.

there's a story on gamespot.com about a high ranking analyst from Forbes magazine believing it will actually be in the 250-300 price range which wouldn't be so bad especially if it is back wards compitable cuz then I could trade in my x-box towards the x-box 360 or whatever it's gonna be called. plus as a rpg fan, finding out that the director of the last few Final Fantasy games (as well as the FF composer) have signed a deal with microsoft for 2 rpgs for the next x-box I'm so pysched cuz the ps2 completely kicks the ass of the x-box in terms of role playing games.

unless the new XBox blows the old one out of the water, I'll be content with my old box for now. i mean, how much further can they really take it now...
Pretty soon you'll have Madden holograms running around in your living room with you "throwing" bombs to them.

that would be hellasweet...however, my living room isn't that big. hopefully it is scaled depending on the size of the room you're in ;)

Hopefully it doesn't take arm strength into consideration! ;)
Just game on your computers guys. Toss the 500 bucks you'll spend on the system and games on Ram and a nice video card and you have a great gaming system. The games are always expanding and growing, and are light years ahead of consoles. Not to mention, many more control features, etc.
Granted some games (racing mainly) and sometimes sports I prefer on a console, but everything else I prefer on the computer. Bungie is rumored to be making a new game somewhat similar to myth (www.playmyth.net)[myth's free if you want to try it let me know, when they were bought out by MS they gave it to the community], that will probably be ruined by going to Xbox because they can't match the complexity of a keyboard and mouse.

I agree with that. The only reason I have consoles is because the games seem to come out first for them and later for PC.
Graphics on a good PC tear up a console any day.

i mainly only play sports games, and to me they are much better on console, so i don't mind spending the money on a console.
besides, i spend 8+ hours a day on the computer here at work. the last thing i want to do when i get home is sit down at the computer to play video games.
