The return of "Orbis" - early PS4 Development Kit sightings?
According to an account of VG247's anonymous source, PS4 development kits are on the prowl and they're currently being distributed to video game developers, followed by a series of meetings which explain how to make the best of what they have to offer. The kits are based on AMD's A10 APU with up to 16GB or RAM, and for all intents and purposes appear to be simply modified PC computers... with a catch. They have what appears to be a pre-installed PlayStation dashboard, showing off what the PS4's menu could look like in the future.
Sony refuses to comment on the story, however the source claims that the final version of the Orbis Development Kit should be distributed among the developers as soon as next year. This of course goes againts the earlier rumours according to which Sony was to opt out of the next generation home console race.
First Durango, now Orbis yet again - it would appear that both Microsoft and Sony are on Nintendo's tail. Are you excited for what those two have in-store for the next generation? What are your expectations? Discuss!
