Gamasutra: "A new crop of consoles isn't too far in our future, says Hao Chen, senior graphics engineer for Bungie. This isn't a surprise, of course - hardware companies make hardware products, and software companies make games to support them.
But there was speculation in the past that the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 might represent the last round of big powerhouse consoles, as cloud gaming picks up steam, and new hardware gets tougher to move.
In an exclusive interview, to be run in full in Game Developer magazine's December issue (and later on Gamasutra), Chen gave some insight into the next set of consoles."

Its neat especially since not everyone might have two friends playing it. Makes it more personal to go at in duos.
It's 2026 and basic match making features in MP games are still being drip fed to an audience that still gets excited over said basic feature being implemented.
Darryl Linington from Notebookcheck.net writes: "Early hands-on time with Marathon, spanning roughly 10 hours, points to a distinctive extraction shooter with strong shell-based class design, layered faction progression, surreal presentation, and a dense UI that still needs smoothing out."
Almost 16,000 reviews on Steam currently has the game sitting on a very positive 90% Not sure if it has the player numbers but those who are playing seem to be enjoying themselves.
On Steam, you have to have bought the game, in order to play. On metacritic, ANYONE can review it. I'll leave it for you to decide which one matters more.
Replies(1)The game is really really bad. So generic boring and lifeless. UI is terrible. Bad and slow gameplay. Not sure who gives the go ahead for these games. Insane all that money companies just throw away for no reason. Nobody a asking for these games
You haven't played it. That much is apparent from your comment. Gameplay is FAR from slow and boring. I do agree the UI definitely needs to be re-worked. But then again, you're just repeating a complaint you're reading about, not actually experiencing.
Can you show any proof you've actually played it, by sharing your PSN ID or Steam profile? Nah, guessed as much.
Gunplay is the best thing about the game. To call it bad is wrong. Just because it isn't a twitch shooter doesn't mean it's slow, not everything has to play the same. Everything else is generic I agree.
Yes I am. But tell me ,with goty games do you play? Have you even played Marathon? If not ...S T F U!!
So sick and tired of the hate BS 🤮🤮
Bungie has fully settled the Destiny 2 Red War copyright lawsuit with writer Matthew Martineau, ending a year-long legal fight.
I can't wait for the next gen consoles. I'm ready to see what an Uncharted 4 and Gears 4 look like. Uncharted 3 already looks nearly photorealistic as it is. I wonder if Halo 4 will look more realistic or stick with the cartoony look.
