Forums - Gaming Discussion - SEGA HAS A NEW HANDHELD IN DEVELOPMENT FORCE FEEDBACK TOUCHSCREENS.........

......TO GIVE THE ILLUSION OF ACTUALLY PRESSING, DEPRESSING, RELEASING, PUSHING BUTTONS, SWITCHES ETC ETC....

06/23/09 SEGA SAMMY CONSUMER HARDWARE ROADMAP (WORLD EXCLUSIVE REPORT PART 2)

Last month we posted part 1 of our report where we uncovered SEGA SAMMY's next gen casual system.

Even though SEGA SAMMY warned us not to upload part 2, we have decided to publish an edited version.

SEGA shall be releasing a new handheld in time for holiday season 2010, it shall have dual touchscreens and both screens shall have force feedback, a revolutionary new technology which has never been implemented in the videogame space prior to this. The touchscreens shall vibrate at the same level that a standard speaker does i.e you don't visibly see it's movements. The vibrations can give any illusion that the software programmer desires to program. For example the pressing and depressing of a mechanical button without there actually being anything mechanical present, there are only two screens, there are no keys whatsoever. The user feels the same sensations as they would when interacting with actual physical controls.

The first games shall debut in the arcades on the RINGWIDE arcade board later this year. The specifications of the handheld shall be based around the board. Thus ensuring arcade perfect conversions.

The specifications of the handheld are as follows -

CPU: Intel Celeron 440 2 GHz "Conroe L"

GPU: AMD HD4650 128MB GDDR3 Shader Model 4.0

AUD: 5.1 ch HD

Other: WiFi Connectivity
           8GB Compact Flash
           Custom Yamaha produced optical media (Capacity: 2.5GB Single Layer) 
           Stripped down version of Microsoft Windows Embedded Standard 2009

Naming and pricing of the handheld are not yet known.

Its gpu is more powerful than those of the HD consoles lmao

sure




That would be amazing. Essentially any game could have any control scheme and interface desired by the developer AND it wouldn't feel hollow and crummy (like a lot of the iPhone's attempts).



Game Gear reborn?



Consoles Owned: Atari 2600, NES, Sega Genesis, Sega Saturn, N64, Gamecube, Wii, XBOX360

I believe this!



Around the Network

I really don't know what to think of this site. Very sensationalist, but not so outrageous to be easily pegged as fake.

I guess this is possible, as the first entry in the next generation of handhelds (6th generation of handhelds)



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.
