Following on from last week's rumours about the next Microsoft Xbox being shown at E3 2012 is more information, this time from the development studio of Just Cause. They're currently working on an "unannounced AAA title", targeted for release in 2014. Why 2014? David Grijns told Edge: "We have some intelligence to go on that, by early 2014, we're pretty sure there'll be at least one next-generation console on the market."


"When we say 'next-gen' in the press release, it's really a reference to what we think the market will look like then," he added. "Anyone who says they know what the market is going to look like three years from now is just blowing smoke. Whatever happens, we feel very confident that we'll be ready for it.

"I don't think the industry needs better-looking games: I think it needs better games," he said. "If there is a way to push the bar in a few years then that's fine, but the looks of games these days are so good that they don't need to look better.

"What is more interesting is the ways that developers and publishers can find new ways of designing games - and more interesting gameplay and distribution models - rather than better-looking games."
