Report - Next Xbox Debuting in 2012
Microsoft prepping launch of next console, Crytek sources say.

Microsoft's successor to the Xbox 360 will be revealed at E3 2012 and developer Crytek is making a next-generation Timesplitters 4, according to sources speaking to Videogamer.com.

A "high-ranking industry source at Crytek" told the website that while specifications for the next console have not been finalized, Crytek is using Microsoft's DirectX 11 for next-gen development. The source says Microsoft will announce the new Xbox in the next year, likely at E3 2012.

"Crytek believes that Microsoft will announce and launch its new machine ahead of rival Sony, though the developer is also investing resources into next-generation PlayStation development."

Meanwhile, the source also claims TimeSplitters 4 is currently in development using CryEngine 3 and is already being demoed internally. The game was also apparently shown off in private last week at E3 2011.

"As for the game itself, the new TimeSplitters is reported to focus on the series' branching paths and exploratory nature, with sandbox-style gameplay elements a big priority. The current goal is for levels to feature multiple routes that lead to the same overall conclusion."

Microsoft and Crytek both declined to comment on this report.

i think this could be my last gen, the current one

i only play a few games, surely the future will hold cloud based gaming on something much less expensive and much more reliable than the current consoles...

The dude who already had 2 PS3's is asking me if im buying? wish i had 2 ps3s: one for media, other for games. That's some balling shit, bro. Maybe this is your karma for being such a G? play your games in the living room..whats the problem? rofl , the inner gamer only emerges in the basement, vet?

PS4 will debut last, not even announced or a plan of announcement. It will have the successor to bluray and the new HD resolution, no more 1080p or 3D, way beyond that. I'll have it launch day, regardless of price.

the layout in the living is not gamer friendly, although my TV is 57" the living room is long and sitting that far away doesnt cut it

i prefer to slide my recliner right up in front of my 42" in the basement... lights dim etc

i agree that the 4 will be out last, and they'll stay true to the 10 year cycle of the ps3 but i think its in their best interest, if they're going to do another console, to be the first one out

I wish I had a basement

I don't care about another xbox, that console is trash to me.

And a ps4? Are you serious? The point in that is what exactly? because the ps3 pretty much does everything right now and has updates for whatever needs to be fixed. I love Sony but damn, ps4 better have something totally new otherwise i got no purpose in getting one and i need a new ps3 as well.

I wish I had a basement
