Rumour: Rare working on “mature” next-gen Xbox game, Lionhead and Turn 10 also making titles

KILLER INSTINCT!!!!!!!!!!
CONKERS BAD FUR 2!!!!

Perfect Dark Minus One.

MS studios are working on next gen games?!

Next they’ll be trying to tell us that Sony studios are making games for next gen.

No, in all seriousness, I am very excited.

Fable 4, Forza 5 as launch titles… I’m excited! And good for Rare that they’ll do something serious again

Next gen can’t get here fast enough.

If Lionhead’s making a next-gen title, it’s going to be Fable 4. But there’s a part of me really hoping that its brought back Milo & Kate and are making that instead.

@3 I think its a bit of a given that there a lot of studios working on next gen titles already. Ubi have already come out and said BG&E2 will be next gen.

Next gen is supposed to start within the next 2/3/4 years and that’s about how long it takes to develop a game.

The thing i find interesting about this is that if they are developing for next gen already, surely they have some idea about the expected specs of the machines?
Especially considering that they are first party studios.
Or there developing for current (or slightly more powerful) PC hardware standards in which case these titles aren’t really going to take advantage of the hardware.

#1 seconded, i cannot wait for a new killer instict game or a new conker, but i prefer the killer instict one the most.

Yeah hopefully the next gen consoles are beasts that can keep up with tech for a while…X Box 720 day one

I still think it’s gonna be about 2014/2015 before we see (ie at retail) new hardware. There’s still another software cycle left this generation, if not more.

Apparently the article also namechecks Remedy and Alan Wake 2 as ‘possibles’. I wonder how much of this is actually based on fact and how much is just plain old “we haven’t heard anything from these guys in a while, they must be working on next-gen stuff”.

I wonder what Turn 10 are working on…
A new FPS maybe?

2012 is going to be the last for the Xbox 360 and it’s… freakin too much time already.

Current gen 500 series of Geforce are used up to 15%-20% at max of it’s power, Processors? I don’t want to start here.

It’s time to move on. but how can MS interest gaming crowd? With what? Just Forza or Fable ain’t going to cut it.

@13 agreed, wouldnt be surprised to see a xmas 2012 release.

@14, i’m not so sure. I think 2013 release, because they announced Halo 4 for the Xbox 360.

I’m not sure that MS Wants to fight between them two.

@15 good point, i forgot about halo 4.

^ Unless Halo 4 is launch title for the new box also. Imagine they release a CG trailer on Spike VGAs and all people will say “cool, but no gameplay.. not interested.
They come back at E3 2012 and say “remember the CG trailer last year of Halo…. well it wasn’t CG ”

@17 nah, it will be the 360′s swansong title. halo 5 will be next gen imo.

getting excited for all the rumours about wiiu and new xbox, come on sony, you’re next

I think I’m the only person here who isn’t excited for the next generation. I am not buying any new systems until there’s, at least, 20 games for them that I absolutely can’t live without.

Still, knowing that the PS4 and whatever the next box is called are going to probably be very close to current high-end PC’s (if they aren’t, why would anyone buy them?), I just imagine the Wii U, which will be about equal to the PS3 and 360, as the fat kid, running behind the pack, yelling, “Hey, guys! Slow down!”

Well, if they can pull off a Halo 4, Killer instinct, and Fable 4 in the new consoles launch window, they would have a sure fire sell out at launch for sure.
