La web de noticias SPOnG.com ha anunciado en exclusiva el lanzamiento del próximo título de la saga Need For Speed [que parece que se llamará Need For Speed: Most Wanted].
En la noticia decía que el juego saldría a finales de año.
Lo curioso es que está anunciado para Ps2, Xbox, GameCube, PC y... Xbox2 [aka Xenon o lo que queráis].
Así que parece que la nueva Xbox saldrá antes de finalizar el 2005...

-Segundo Rumor
Al parecer, alguien de los foros de Nintendo Power ha filtrado una noticia sobre las especificaciones de la próxima consola de Nintendo, Nintendo Revolution.
Los rumores filtrados son más o menos creíbles ya que el que los ha filtrado fue el mismo que filtró los rumores sobre Nintendo DS, que luego se comprobaron ciertos...
Os pongo lo que este tipo ha dicho:
There has been a TON of speculation on Nintendo's upcoming console but little is actually known about it. There are so many different ideas that no one really knows what to think. So here are some supposed "facts" about the Revolution. I can't reveal my source because I've been asked not to. Sorry guys. I would say that this info has at least a 65% chance of being accurate. My source has been right before and he's also been wrong. Here goes......
Ok first things first. Yes, Nintendo will utilize gyros in it's controllers. I think most people pretty much already took this as fact. Also, the Rev will indeed have dual processors. Also broadband is built in, no modem to buy. Nintendo has an online strategy in development. It will be implemented on the DS first. There are no current plans to connect the DS and the Rev....the GB Evolution on the other hand......
The Rev will have four controller ports. It will have a hard drive which will be used in much the same way as the 64DD was supposed to be used. Things like Dolby Digital 5.1 and high def monitor support are included. There is no type of virtual reality or any kind of headset planned. It is backwards compatible with Gamecube games. It will use the HD-DVD format and not Sony's Blu-Ray. Controllers are not wireless, but wireless controllers are planned. It will launch with an unnamed Mario game and work on Zelda has already begun. Super Smash Brothers is in mid development and will be a launch title.
Ok so what's the Revolutionary part? That's what you all want to know. Well my source wouldn't tell me. He said it would get him into too much trouble, and could give Sony and Microsoft an advantage at this stage in the game. But he did say this; "if you think too hard you'll never guess what it is. It's nothing "new" technically speaking. It's just something that hasn't really been applied to video games yet."
He then said "touching is good but feeling is better". What exactly that means I have no idea. Some sort of force feedback device? We already have rumble packs.
Para el que no lo entienda... lo más importante.
-No será compatible con DS, pero sí con GameCube.
-Tendrá banda ancha incorporada, no modem, y pretende dar mucho uso a los juegos online, especialmente estrategia, género olvidado en las consolas...
-Tendrá disco duro que tomará las funciones que en su momento iba a hacer el 64DD para N64.
-Utilizará el formato HD-DVD y no el famoso Blu-Ray que utilizará Sony.
-Tendrá cuatro puertos de serie para mandos.
-Los controladores usarán la nueva tecnología Gyration.
-Junto con la consola, saldrán dos títulos [al menos], un Mario y un Zelda, además de un Super Smash Brothers que probablemente esté acabado para entonces.
Sabiendo que Sony esta vez y a diferencia de las otras dos consolas que ha lanzado, está manteniendo total secretismo, puede que tengamos la próxima generación antes de lo esperado.
