Xbox 720-Magazin will einige Details kennen

In der neuen Ausgabe nennt das Magazin "Xbox World" einige, angebliche, Details zur kommenden Xbox.

Nachdem die Xbox 360 bereits sieben lange Jahre auf dem Markt ist, häufen sich seit geraumer Zeit die Gerüchte über einen Nachfolger aus dem Hause Microsoft. Nun veröffentlicht das britische Magazin „Xbox World“, in seiner letzten Ausgabe eine achtseitige „Enthüllungs-Story“ und gibt dabei Details preis, welche aus dem dem direkten Microsoft-Umfeld stammen sollen.

Laut dem Magazin wird die nächste Generation schlicht mit „Xbox“ betitelt werden und, neben Kinect 2.0, Blu-Ray-Disks unterstützen. Des weiteren soll die Heimkonsole über einen direktionalen 3D-Sound, einen TV- Eingang und -Ausgang sowie einen „innovativen“ Controller verfügen. Ein Augmented-Reality-System, via zusätzlicher Brille, soll zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt nachgereicht werden.

Eine Präsentation zur neuen Xbox soll zudem, laut "Xbox World", bereits weit vor der E3 stattfinden.

Xbox 720 reportedly detailed in Xbox World’s penultimate issue

December 2012 is going to be a sad month for gaming magazines. Not only will Nintendo Power and PlayStation: The Official Magazine cease to exist when 2013 rolls around, but so will Xbox World. However, while the others may be going out with a look back at their runs, Xbox World is spilling everything it knows about the next Xbox in its second-to-last issue.

As it turns out, Xbox World apparently knows quite a bit about Microsoft‘s next console, with CVG listing some of the details. “Xbox World has been at the cutting edge of Durango coverage for over 12 months,” Editor-in-Chief Dan Dawkins told CVG “Unless something really dramatic changes, everything we reveal in our penultimate issue will be revealed long before E3 in June.” For starters, the eight page write-up suggests Microsoft will simply call its next console “Xbox” without anything else in the name.

Xbox World Magazine: "Everything We Know" About Xbox 720.

Xbox World's latest issue has an 8 page feature on Microsoft's next-generation console, the Xbox 720, which contains "everything we know" about it. The magazine seems to have a good track record for leaking us information about the latest Xbox. In January, they revealed Microsoft's plans for augmented reality, directional sound, and a four player, finger tracking Kinect, all of which were later confirmed by a leaked planning document back in June. Xbox World's editor in chief said, "Xbox World has been at the cutting edge of Durango coverage for over 12 months. Unless something really dramatic changes, everything we reveal in our penultimate issue will be revealed long before E3 in June." According to the the issue, the next-gen Xbox- which they actually speculate to be simply called "Xbox"- will feature Kinect 2.0, use Blu-Ray discs, have directional audio, a TV output and input, an "innovative" controller, and may later in life feature augmented reality glasses. The current Dev kits, codenamed "Durango" feature a CPU with "four hardware cores, which are each divided into four logical cores", as well as featuring 8 GB of RAM, according to XBW. Xbox World has used Microsoft leaks as well as industry sources to come up with an image of what they believe the next Xbox may look like.   They explained where their ideas for the system's design came from with, "We built ours with the same glossy face and patented VapourMG magnesium alloy Microsoft uses for its Surface tablet, and modelled the silver band after its new 'Wedge' touch keyboard and flexible Arc Touch mouse. The future will be black, sharp and curved." You can read the full 8 pages by purchasing the newest issue online, or on Apple Newstand. *For US* *For UK*

It looks like multiplayer for Mass Effect 3 might be a go after all, we’ve heard yes, no and maybe. But according to the cover of Xbox World magazine we clearly see “New Levels AND Multiplayer!”. What type of co-op might we have? Maybe a brief prequel campaign where you play as soldiers on Earth before Shepards arrival, similar to the structure Splinter Cell: Conviction had with the Archer and Kestrel co-op campaign. It’s difficult to tell at the time, looks like we’ll just have to pick the latest issue and find out for ourselves.
