New Xbox Console on The Horizon

By
Jose Rojas
– June 14, 2011Posted in: News, Xbox 360

A source at Crytek informed VideoGamer that a new TimeSplitters game is under development, but not for the current Xbox. The source says that the game is in  developement for the next generation Xbox console as well as the next Playstation console. They are using DirectX 11 to produce a game fitted for next generation consoles.

The source states that the game is being shown internally and includes work done on the impressive CryENGINE 3 game engine. Although the game is being shown it does not mean the hardware version of the next Xbox is completely finalized. Although they expect Microsoft to officially announce the next Xbox within 12 Months time period, which could mean a showing off the new console during the next E3 Press Conference. Although the game is not complete, the source claims that it looks better than what can be accomplished on the current consoles.

They say that even though development for the Playstation console is being done, Microsoft hopes to yet again release their console to the market before Sony.

Crytek is known for popular titles such as: Warface, Crisis, Crysis 2, Crysis Warhead, Far Cry, and a recently announced Ryse.

Beginning June 23rd through July 7 (Bungie Day) Bungie will feature a big celebration open to their fans. What are they celebrating you ask, well their 20th Birthday for one, second the upcoming Birthday of the Halo series.  They also state that it is a sad time for them since they have to say farewell to their most succesful franchise. Since becoming independent the rights to the Halo series stayed with Microsoft, and was given to in-house developer 343 Industries.

They will be celebrating the event by giving many gifts, such as giving fans access to the blue helmet flame. For all you Iphone owners there will be a new App available to keep track of your stats, and more. They will will be auctioning off Halo artwork and selling many great items through the Bungie store with all the profits going to Child’s Play and the Bungie Foundation. They will be on-line playing for a full 24 hours and if you are able to beat them by 20 kills you get delicious steak!

One of the very interesting announcements that will come out of this celebration will be the full disclosure of what Bungie Aerospace is all about. So as a fan of this great studio I can’t wait to see what will come out of it. Plus, hopefully I’ll get my self a delicious Gracde-A cut of steak!

I’m sure you are as disappointed as me for Konami not having included Metal Gear Solid in there HD collection. Well creative director Yoshikazu Matsuhana has confirmed the reason behind that design decision.”Obviously, we wanted to include it and make it a complete collection. However, as you know, Metal Gear Solid 1 was for the PSone. It has a very, very low polygon count.” He also adds, that MGS1 is “very dated” to preserve and introduce to new audiences and that they are considering a re-imagining. For the full brief interview hit up Eurogamer.net
