WORLD EXCLUSIVE : SEGA's Next Generation Arcade/Console Plans Unveiled
Posted by Zach Morris at 08:11 AM on March 07, 2010 comments (0)

Recap

As we have previously reported, SEGA SAMMY plans on moving on from LINDBERGH/RINGEDGE development to the next generation of technology in 2011. We exclusively reported that both Hiroshi Yagi and Yu Suzuki are heading the research and development team tasked with the creation of the new platform. We were also the first to break the news that the new board shall have a console counterpart that shall see a consumer release in 2012 aproximately one year after the debut of it's arcade cousin, designed to compete with the next generation of XBox and PlayStation. Like we previously reported SEGA plans a one year lead on both MS and Sony as due to the introduction of Natal and Arc neither have any hardware refresh plans prior to 2013.

Further developments

Today we can exclusively reveal that SEGA has signed with Imagination Technologies of the United Kingdom to provide, to quote our source "a very high end next generation graphics chipset" for exclusive arcade and console use.

If we were to take an educated guess we would have to say that this emplies the in development PowerVR Series 6, the successor to the PowerVR SGX5XX Series.

Regarding other technicalities nothing is yet known. Thus information such as Ram Configuration, Ram type, CPU, CPU provider etc... currently remain a mystery.

In an earlier article we stated that Sony had chosen PowerVR for next generation, however, according to our source Sony decided against the design in favor of a cheaper solution from AMD or nVidia. Apparently after the loses made with PS3, Howard Stringer the CEO of the company wants a sub $300 price/performance system for the next round.

Stay tuned for further details on SEGA's next generation plans as and when we get them.

Am si eu o rugaminte , nu contest faptul ca multi de pe forum stiu engleza , including me ... dar totusi , daca pui o stire , chinuie-te un pic si tradu-o ... doar suntem pe un forum romanesc

Foarte buna observatia.

Killswitch face o treaba buna cu thread-urile aici pe consolegames, afiseaza zilnic thread-uri noi sau update-turi despre jocuri, iar daca ar fii sa se traduca fiecare stire/update in parte nu am mai avea aceiasi paine calda. Da, ar fii ok daca ar fii traduse toate stirile, dar prima oara este mai bine sa apara stirea originala in limba originala.

timpul nu prea imi permite ca sa scriu aceste stiri in limba romana asa ca le pun cum le gasesc. daca aveam timpul necesar atunci cu siguranta le scriam.

[ReNeGaDe124]

Eu si Killswitch ne ocupam cu furnizarea cat mai rapida a informatiilor brute iar editorii site-ului si cei care au suficient timp liber se ocupa de traducerea lor si redactarea stirilor.

[MonkY]

Lasati ca e bine si asa, news-urile pe deoparte, threadurile dedicate pe de alta parte. Nu strica niciodata prea multa informatie. Si oricum cred ca nu exista consolist sa nu stie limba engleza... iar daca nu o face, e timpul sa invete. Nu de alta, dar inca n-am vazut joc pe console in limba romana

Stirea vad ca e din 7 martie 2010, 17:30


Chiar despre subiectul asta se discuta acum cateva luni vreme intr-un podcast pe Gametrailers (cred ca Pach Attack) si concluzia era ca nu ar avea SEGA de unde sa vina cu o consola noua, tinand cont ca tocmai fusesera cumparati de o firma care face slot machines, plus ca-ti trebuie cel putin miliardul de dolari ca sa poti coordona un proiect de genul asta (convins developerii si publisherii sa isi bata capul cu consola ta, platit promovarea etc.). Discutia de pe gametrailers stiu ca a avut loc dupa data de 7 martie.
