Xbox 360 Interview: The Light Synth Vision
>> From gamerlounge.com:
[QUOTE]
Jeff Minter is one of the videogame industry's true eccentrics - a man who has followed his own agenda for the last twenty years, even if that has meant going off in a completely different direction to everyone else (Tempest 3000 for the ill-fated Nuon device to pluck out one example). But strangely, his experiments with various 'light synthesiser' applications throughout the years may well have finally brought him in line with mainstream thinking. At a time when console manufacturers are desperate for their latest machines to be appreciated as allround audiovisual entertainment centres rather than just games machines (Nintendo excluded, of course), Microsoft is embedding Neon, the latest version of Minter's hypnotic light synth software, onto the Xbox 360.
Jeff Minter conducted an interview to answer many more questions about his technology and Xbox 360:
Q: Microsoft go on quite a lot about this being a machine with no bottlenecks, nothing inhibiting performance - would you agree with that from your experience?
A: Well, we were working with alpha hardware and still managed to achieve staggering performance with just that, and the alpha kits probably operate at only about 30 percent of the capacity of the final hardware. I'm really looking forward to doing more on final hardware and really pushing the thing as hard as we can.
