A good article on next-gen consoles

... by an actual developer!? Here's a really objective and realistic comparison between the two (hmm, and I thought there are going to be three; maybe I was wrong ;) upcoming next-gen consoles. This was written by Bizarre Creations technical director, developers of the Dreamcast game Metropolis Street Racer and the Xbox games Project Gotham Racing 1 and 2, as well as games I've never played before. :)

quote: "So in my eyes, this new generation of consoles is extremely exciting, and on an open and even playing field - it's all going to come down to the developers, the games and how it's all marketed!

They are busy working on Project Gotham Racing 3 for the Xbox 360 and it's going to be a launch title (can't wait for this fall; now to save up for it and the HDTV I'll need to buy).

To show you the level of detail they are working at (and the game still has gads of time to be worked on), I've put linked some images from their studio updates:
