PS5 and Xbox Two just got called out by a powerful new next-gen console | T3

Calls out platform holders.

Slightly mad indeed.

Interest declined.

The free engine thing either makes me think this is a joke or that it'll be a mess. A company that size making a console is crazy enough, but simultaneously releasing a game engine too?

I'm still not sure about it being/not being a joke.  He made a "funny" (his words) in the tweet where he says he's serious. 



Then there's this...

If they're serious, I'm guessing they're basically making a slightly custom steam box.  

The game engine is probably a modified version of their in-house engine.  

Most realistic way they could pull anything off that'd be worth pulling off.

That's slightly mad

I mean we have unreal engine that's free and really really popular.  And I don't see that changing, unless their's is fudgy amazing.

Does this confirm that they're just joking?


If they have a real console coming out then cool. Otherwise then who thought it'd be a good PR move to get combative on twitter and misrepresent how fps works?

I think they might actually be serious to some extent. What the heck is going on.
