Dimes y diretes de la next-gen-Rumor: Nuevas patentes de Nintendo

[Indyana]

Microsoft ya ha distribuido devkits con componentes de PC a Ubisoft y EA. Se supone que la consola llegará a finales de 2012 y que llevará una GPU de AMD. Además un gran estudio de Sony ha abandonado el desarrollo de PS3 y está centrado en el desarrollo de su sucesora. Dicho estudio también ha estado involucrado en el desarrollo de la tecnología gráfica adoptada por Sony.

Cita:Ubisoft Montreal is hard at work on 'target boxes' based on the intended specifications of MicrosoftÔÇÖs Xbox 360 successor, according to an Edge source. Delivery of the first iteration of genuine devkits, running custom hardware, is expected to reach studios before Christmas, and all signs point to the finalised console arriving at retail in late 2012.

UbisoftÔÇÖs teams are said to be working on PCs containing off-the-shelf components provided by Microsoft, and itÔÇÖs our understanding that several other major developers, including certain EA studios, are also in possession of these target boxes. While our source was unable to share precise specifications, it is believed that AMD is providing the bespoke GPU solution for MicrosoftÔÇÖs console. A Ubisoft spokesperson said: "We do not comment on rumour and speculation."

We can also reveal that one major Sony-owned studio has now ceased PlayStation 3 development, its entire focus having shifted to the consoleÔÇÖs successor. The studio is also said to have been involved in the development process of the graphics technology adopted by SonyÔÇÖs new hardware.
