Welcome to a new appointment of the heading " bombastic and chiacchieroso The world of Xbox next generation ventura ". Our thirst for gossip is now met by videogame blog Kotaku , u.s. that leads majestically: " we know All of the next Xbox, From someone who Says he had A ". How to resist?

But no more talk, let's get to the raw details. Kotaku claims to have received information from this SuperDaE, jumped to the honor of Chronicles for ave listed for sale on Ebay what it said to be one of the earliest development kit of Durango , the codename of the new Xbox. This time, however, says SuperDaE to be in possession of a final version of the new console hardware, and then release a number of interesting information. Let's see what it is.

Kinect

Previous rumor had already mentioned the fact that Microsoft is working on a new version of Kinect, and Kotaku tipster gives us some more explaining that not only the new device will be sold standard with all consoles, but also that the next Xbox will only work if you have the 2.0 Kinect connected. This for a couple of reasons: the first is that Microsoft wants developers can always count on the presence of the sensor without him as an optional accessory, and the second is that the new Kinect will be deeply integrated with console interface which will know at all times how many players (up to 6) are in front of the TV with the ability to instantly identify them.

With regard to the improvements to the new Kinect sensor will have a "view" to 1080p, 3D scanning resolution almost double than the current, can recognize the movement of the thumb and the rest of your hand knowing when we hold your hand open, closed or will be able to recognise facial expressions and our mood and have a vertical viewing angle is significantly wider than the current, to the point that it will no longer need to rotate vertically to find the best shot. The following are the differences between current (left) Kinect and Kinect 2.0 (right).

Hard drives and installations

SuperDaE explains that the new Xbox will have a 500 GB hard disk as standard with each model, so that developers can create their own games and can always count on the presence of mass memory. But one detail much more interesting and unique is what all games require installation because they cannot read data from optical disk, and the installation will be automatic; It seems, however, that we run the risk of not wait ten minutes for installing a title before you can play because the console will introduce a "progressive installation" that will allow games to leave immediately and then install a little at a time in the background while we play, without waiting periods.

On this topic we want to add our consideration on the sidelines. If this is confirmed, it looks like a first step to push toward a future "only digital" console, since the optic disc will have the sole task of containing all data for the installation on hard disk, who might at this point be downloaded either from the network (although a downloading a game Blu-ray 50 GB would be impractical for many).

Multiple executions

According to these rumors, the next Xbox will introduce a system that will allow players to quickly switch from a game or app to another, without having to save each time, close the game and start the next. This will be made possible through a system of "hibernation" of processes very similar to that used by Apple's iOS. This is not true multitasking, but simply a hibernation and restoration of various processes that will make it possible for example to pause a game, go to Facebook, open another game and then return to the initial title exactly where it was left.

Mobile App

SuperDaE also speaks of Xbox Companion mobile application, now known as Xbox SmartGlass : well this is going to be completely revamped and will allow developers to access both touch capabilities that motion sensors to smartphones and tablets, effectively enabling the same kind of playful applications seen in Wii controller U. This at least on paper, because it's worth seeing if developers decide to take advantage of this opportunity.

Specifications

As for the specs, it confirmed everything that had already leaked in previous rumor: 64-bit CPU core 1.6 ghz 8, DirectX 11 GPU x 800 Mhz and from various hardware components designed to lighten the CPU from specific activities as deconding videos, data compression, etc. It is confirmed the presence of a Blu-ray 50 GB, providing 3D video to 1080p, 7.1 audio via HDMI or optical output and an HDMI input which is not yet known.

How much you will be approached these more rumor with the truth? We must not do is wait.
