Although we recently heard reports that Microsoft was hiring for an unannounced new gaming project, which many believe is the next generation Xbox console (aka Xbox 720), it looks like they also have other things up their sleeve such as developing new technology for the Xbox 360.
According to a recent gamersmint.com article by Cyborg, the company is developing new technology for the current Xbox console, which is said to use a system called Mega Meshes that will support tessellation units of console as well as increase the polygon count and level of detail on future Xbox 360 exclusives.
The first title said to be supporting this new technology is Lionheads Project Milo (aka Milo & Kate), which unfortunately wont ever see a retail release as it was only meant as a tech demo to showcase the capabilities of the Xbox 360 Kinect peripheral.
Ben Sugden, Lionheads lead programmer, held a presentation at the 2011 Game Developers Conference recently, showcasing some of the technology in use for Project Milo and providing us with a glimpse of what the visuals will look like in the future.
I don't know what to think of this to be honest...
