E3 2005: Xbox 360
Microsoft is planning on being the first to stores with its Xbox 360 console. Recently revealed to the public, the system's specs are neck-in-neck with the fastest tricked-out desktop machines, featuring a 3.2GHz CPU and 512MB of memory. Naturally, it'll output everything in high definition, so start saving for that plasma now.
In between the E3 parties and press events, we got to see some examples of the next-gen games being worked on. Several game companies had Xox 360 games running on development hardware. We snuck a peek at some works in progress from Sega and EA, and were blown away by what we saw.
Behind closed doors, EA showed us several live games, including the newest Tiger Woods title, where we could zoom into individual blades of grass on the green and an NBA title, with characters so detailed we actually saw sweat running down their faces.
