Yeah, that's really old. The updated rumor is that there will be two versions, one a PC and one a gaming system with an attachable hard drive.cmatz0 said:I heard recently that there will be 3 versions, one like a PC (which i think is kinda dumb), one will be an advanced game player (with 40 gig hard drive), and the other will be a game player that uses mem. cards and that is the cheapest and has a small hard drive.
Woah, I vote the Revolution concept as the best looking console ever.DeltaSuicune said:Since everybody loves hardware debates, some screens of the actual graphical power these consoles have...
Clicky
Right now these are PS3 shots of a game called "2 days to Vegas", and is being created by a Russian developer known as Steel Monkeys.
The Xbox360 version is going to receive "minor upgrades across the board". Take that as you will... since the Xbox 360 version is likely going to premiere first given the launch dates.
Whoopdie-$<*%ing-do, now we get interactive movies I suppose? ... actually I'm not a graphics whore or anti-whore, but I do want assurance that the developers are going to put some gameplay mechanics into these next gen games outside of all the graphical effort that's going into these. There was an interesting article at gamespot regarding angry developers with estimated game production costs with the next consoles...
Either way, yay. Oh yes, some attached images of the concept art for the N5 Revolution... concept art, this is not the gospel. There were a few similar designs before, but more confirmation.

To my knowledge, no processor has reached 4GHz, except for the cell processor, yet. This would make that rumor improbable.pokejungle said:*cough*
New rumour:
The Revolution will feature a core of four 5.2GHz processors, making it even faster than the 360. Supposedly leaked specs.

Maybe it was four 2.5GHz processors? That's more believable, although it wouldn't have as much brute strength as X360, I guess it might be better at multitasking.pokejungle said:It was something about 4 processors. Maybe I exaggerated the speed a *bit* =S I forgot what it was honestly xD
Although, we do have some real news: The president of Square Enix [Japan] has announced the Revolution will be the birth of a completly new platform.
That makes those rumours about true 3D a bit more believable.
Well maybe now Square can get a good Final Fantasy game on a Nintendo system (and not some run down kid looking game).pokejungle said:It was something about 4 processors. Maybe I exaggerated the speed a *bit* =S I forgot what it was honestly xD

By true 3D, do you mean holographic like images or virtual reallity? If it's the latter of the two, that is cool. If it's the holographic one, I think it's stupid. Do you really need real 3D images? I believe it would just take you out of the experenice too much.pokejungle said:It was something about 4 processors. Maybe I exaggerated the speed a *bit* =S I forgot what it was honestly xD

That is no rumour. That was said on Nintendo.com, so the Revolution will be around the same as three stacked DVD cases and a little longer.pokejungle said:We'll have to wait to find out >>; Rumours aren't very specific xD
New Rumour:
The revolution will be as big as three DVD cases stacked on top of each and a little bit longer. It can be played horizontal or Vertical like the PS2
and
It will launch mid-2006!
Ironic. Also, Halo 3 has been comfirmed by none other than the big man himself, Bill Gates.RUMOR #3: You will be able to hook up your Sony PSP to the Xbox 360--as well as your iPod.
Source: That mecca for the nuts-and-bolts-conscious gamer, Tom's Hardware Guide.
The official story: "That's interesting."--Microsoft spokesperson.
What we heard: One of the features of the 360 that Microsoft has been touting is how it is a "digital entertainment" hub with USB 2.0 connectivity with devices like MP3 players and digital cameras. And since a memory stick-equipped PSP shows up as a hard drive, couldn't it also be connected to an Xbox 360? Apparently so. When demonstrating the Xbox 360 to Tom's Hardware Guide, Jeff Henshaw, the executive producer of Digital Entertainment for the Xbox, openly said it would work with a PSP. "Other console makers want to force you to buy brand 'S' memory and use a brand 'S' format to play on brand 'S' TVs," he told the site. "We just want things to work for the gamer and be as easy as possible." Also, according to the same article in Time magazine in which Microsoft chairman Bill Gates revealed that Halo 3 was launching around the same time as the PlayStation 3, "You can plug your iPod into the Xbox 360 and play songs off that too." Boss!
Bogus or not bogus?: Not bogus.
