Décidemment, ce blog ne devrait pas s'appeller MP3News.fr mais Applerumeurs.fr !!! Et là je dois avouer que c'est tellement gros que j'ai bien du mal à y croire. Accrochez-vous: Apple serait en train de mettre en place une console de jeu portable ! L'information publiée par le magazine Electronic Gaming Monthly révèle tous les détails.
L'objet, dénommé iGame ressemble fort à un TRES gros poisson d'avril vu la liste de jeux annoncés: Call of Duty 3, Casino Royale, Madden NFL 07, Splinter Cell Essentials 2, etc.
Une impression partagée par Station A, MacDailyNews.com et, bien sûr, GenerationMP3 (que je ne présente plus ;) ). Autre détail qui a son importance, le numéro est daté d'avril 2006...
Le scan de l'article en question est disponible au format PDF. Extraits choisis:
The iGame is set up like a typical portabel system, with a digital D-pad on the left side, four buttons on the right, and two shoulder buttons. It has a large widescreen and a thin overall profile (it’s reportedly just a tiny bit bigger that the current video iPod on its side). But look a little more closely. See the symbols on the face buttons? And that ring around the D-pad? (It’s a touch scroll wheel). Yep, the iGame is a fully functional iPod as well, complete with photo displat and music and video playback.
No word yet on how big the internal hard drive will be, but it better be pretty fat — not only will it have to store pictures, tunes, and videos, but all the games as well. The iGame won’t play any discs or cartridges; instead, you sign up on Apple’s iTunes Music Store and purchase individual titles for a fee. Like all other iTunes products, the game downloads to your computer (but as nonplayable files), then transfers to your iGame upon synchronization via ForeWire or USB 2.0 cable. The game lineup includes a mix of PC ports, original iGame exclusives, and very likely some Game Boy Advance and other handheld titles licensed from various companies (including some out-of-print classics from years past).
