Imagine the surprise. Not long after writing about Sim City's always online train wreck, this article on The Escapist catches my attention. Could this be possible? An always online console?
Now, before breaking out the torches in pitchforks: the information comes from an unconfirmed source. Supposedly, it's someone who had access to the SDK for Durango (the next Xbox), with no other information but that.
The SDK makes a few stipulations for those who want to develop for Durango. One, that the console will always be online. Two, Kinect will be required. Three, all games must run from an installation on the hard drive.
The first requirement only hints at the possibility of an always online Xbox, it certainly does not confirm it. Many are reading it that way, though, and it isn't ruled out either. Only official word from Microsoft could put an end to the speculation.
