Title: Origamiproject.com - Microsofts new shizzle. Post by: schild on February 24, 2006, 10:52:28 AM Fo' realz my niggas. I actually really like the flash that makes up the website (http://www.origamiproject.com/1/)
But I think the point here is to speculate. My money is on this concerning Tetsuya Mizoguchi - possibly the Ninety Nine Nights demo, possibly Lumines or Every Extend Extra on Xbox Live Arcade. At least the first 3 pictures are trademark mizoguchi. But even I'm finding that a hard pill to swallow. Americans will already be able to nab the N3 demo off XBL on March first and this is news on March 2nd. And I don't see Sony letting Lumines or Every Extend Extra drop onto the 360. Speculate, my weasel hivemind! Title: Re: Origamiproject.com - Microsofts new shizzle. Post by: Fabricated on February 24, 2006, 11:03:40 AM Marketing, snooze.

Nice music. Still gay. Things like this don't excite me, because there isn't enough info to fill a microthimble. Title: Re: Origamiproject.com - Microsofts new shizzle. Post by: schild on February 24, 2006, 12:08:49 PM Would you rather there had been a gobknobbling preview?
Title: Re: Origamiproject.com - Microsofts new shizzle. Post by: HaemishM on February 24, 2006, 12:10:49 PM At least cockgnobbling game previews tell me that's there actually a game (shitty or not) in production. This just tells me... well nothing at all, actually. A date. A date for finding out more information.
I am not down with the scavenger hunt mentality. Title: Re: Origamiproject.com - Microsofts new shizzle. Post by: Yegolev on February 24, 2006, 12:14:06 PM One of those pictures looked like the Advent Rising logo, which can only spell doom.
I don't know, seems like something aimed at iPod types, maybe some sort of Media PC appliance that fits between your cheek and gum. Title: Re: Origamiproject.com - Microsofts new shizzle. Post by: schild on February 24, 2006, 12:16:49 PM It has nothing to do with Advent Rising.
And yes, it very well could be an announcement of the compatibility of Vista. But Microsoft has always been a little weird with codenames. Bungie's new project is called Piņata. Title: Re: Origamiproject.com - Microsofts new shizzle. Post by: Yegolev on February 24, 2006, 12:22:46 PM It has nothing to do with Advent Rising. We can only hope. The yellow-circle picture caused my tic to come back. Somehow I forgot Vista is supposed to arrive before Giftmas. My new project is codenamed "Turgid Cock". Title: Re: Origamiproject.com - Microsofts new shizzle. Post by: MrHat on February 24, 2006, 10:24:07 PM it smells of vista convergance.
Title: Re: Origamiproject.com - Microsofts new shizzle. Post by: schild on February 24, 2006, 10:27:02 PM Actually, I think it might be full backwards compatibility.
But the dialogue on the page, man they ripped off Rez big time. Title: Re: Origamiproject.com - Microsofts new shizzle. Post by: Fabricated on February 27, 2006, 04:28:25 PM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rV1WGDW37c0&search=project%20origami
Meet Project Origami. Basically, a bulky looking tablet PC that interoperates with cameras/phones/wifi/etc with super Pictochat. My guess, bluetooth everything outside of the regular wifi. Title: Re: Origamiproject.com - Microsofts new shizzle. Post by: Roac on February 27, 2006, 06:54:35 PM It's been done. (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/c5/PADDs.jpg)
Title: Re: Origamiproject.com - Microsofts new shizzle. Post by: schild on February 28, 2006, 04:38:52 AM Wow. That piece of hardware is shitty. I mean, I can see use for it, especially if it's only $300-500. Any more than that though and pffffffffffffft. It's not a goddamn gaming machine. It's just way too big. My slim PS2 with a 7 inch widescreen lcd attachment is smaller than it.

Is this what you meant? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHgkZ-yIQfM&feature=Views&page=1&t=t&f=b) If so, it's commercials like that which make me want to exterminate everyone under 25. Title: Re: Origamiproject.com - Microsofts new shizzle. Post by: MrHat on February 28, 2006, 10:38:02 AM I see it's uses.
It will work, and be successful. As long as it doesn't have 200 different accessories, 5 versions that don't interface right, no heating problems, and software that's cheap. Oh, and a 60gb harddrive. All stock for $299.99 Title: Re: Origamiproject.com - Microsofts new shizzle. Post by: Wolf on February 28, 2006, 11:33:12 AM The guys at ign claim that clip is an year old - "Keep in mind that the movie is a year old, and is purely video concept art at this point, reported the Seattle Post Intelligencer." - linky (http://gear.ign.com/articles/691/691935p1.html) (useless article, they say nothing in a couple thousand symbols). They also say that thing is a "handheld". Errr... I can hold a brick in my hand, that doesn't exactly qualify bricks as "handheld".
