Lionhead making MMO-like new IP RPG for next Xbox - report
By Wesley Yin-Poole Published 16 May, 2012
UPDATE: Lionhead has issued Eurogamer the following statement:
"Lionhead is in the business of making great games. We regularly look to hire great individuals to help in this cause. We have no further details to share at this time."
ORIGINAL STORY: Fable maker Lionhead is making an MMO-like role-playing game for the next Xbox, a job advertisement suggests.
It has single-player and multiplayer elements with four-player co-op, and is a new IP, according to an ad on LinkedIn (spotted by Superannuation).
"Opportunity to work on MMO like title for next generation consoles. AAA game and budget!" the post reads.
"This is to assist in the development of a major brand new IP that is being targeted for the future generation of platforms and will be an RPG based game with a radical new take on how co-operative and multiplayer gameplay feeds into the experience, while blending online and single-player into one complete experience."
There's mention of a "complex progression system, multiple routes through the campaign, and an MMO like multiplayer experience that will affect the outcome of the player experience, and many other attributes surrounding their profile (such as the environment and the outcome of certain actions)".
A multiplayer level designer is wanted, someone who ideally has worked on four-player co-op games. The development team size is said to be 150+.
This isn't the first time we've heard of Lionhead making an MMO. In December last year the Guildford studio sought a programmer with MMO skills to help make an unannounced game. Experience with Epic Games' Unreal Engine - which Lionhead is using to build Fable: The Journey - was a plus.
We've asked Lionhead for comment.
asta au spus baietii...deci se pare ca totusi consolele generatiei urmatoare nu sunt chiar atat de departe![]()
Sper ca n-au uitat sa-i faca o groaza de gauri de aerisire... Avand in vedere experienta cu anterioarele lor console, eu le-as propune sa foloseasca un design de tip "mesh"![]()
Microsoft 'Xbox TV' device due in 2013 with casual gaming and streaming | The VergeMicrosoft is building an Xbox set-top box. Multiple sources familiar with Redmond's plans have confirmed to The Verge that the company plans to introduce a low-cost alternative to its Xbox console, designed to provide access to core entertainment services. The move will allow Microsoft to further increase its presence in the living room, providing consumers with a choice between a set-top box or a full next-generation Xbox console.
Report: Two Versions of the Next Xbox - IGN
http://www.ign.com/videos/2012/11/22...n-two-versionsA new report suggests that Microsoft's next generation Xbox will come in two very different models.
The first is the console we're all expecting, providing true next-generation gaming experiences, while the other will be a more affordable unit aimed at the casual market. The latter is said to use Windows 8 as the basis of its operating system, and won't be able to run the latest triple-A titles, but will support downloadable casual games from Xbox Live.
So it will function more like a set-top box, or an Apple TV, allowing a greater number of consumers to experience the console's growing range of entertainment apps. Apparently, the next-gen Xbox will be an 'always on' device that starts up almost instantly, letting you resume your game with little downtime.
This latest report comes from The Verge, which cites "multiple sources familiar with Redmond's plans". (Redmond, if you were wondering, is the location of Microsoft's head quarters.) It also claims that this twin SKU approach is part of a larger Microsoft strategy to ensure that its core Xbox software is 'scalable' to run on a variety of devices. There's even talk of making it so that a phone could be capable of delivering a full Xbox Live experience. It has also looked into including licensing core Xbox functionality into television sets.
It's believed that both devices will be announced sometime in 2013 and made available before the end of the year.
Confused about XBox Next and PS4 code names? | SemiAccurateFirst up is the XBox Next, and that project name is Kryptos, Oban is the name of the developer test system chip. As we exclusively brought you news of the tape out, and later production. Last we heard, Oban was still scheduled for mass production wafers before the end of 2012, but the problems we outlined could delay that.
sau care 'noutate' va fi mai mare,mai puternica ca sa te faca sa treci in partea cealalta(de la PS la Xbox sau invers) ..sau vor fi destui neutri(adica,le vor avea pe amandoua) ..

Adio 360 .. glumeam.Sunt sigur ca Microsoft o sa sustina si 360-ul, cum a facut Sony cu PS2-ul.
