SPOnG recently sat down with Rare's Senior Software Engineer, Nick Burton, to chew the fat and discuss new projects, how forums can get out of hand, the N64, destroying Xbox 360s and more.

During the conversation, Nick made mention of how he envisages the next incarnation of the Xbox.

"Even if you gave me a new... (if you gave me) the Xbox 720! I'd say, all right, it's got 32 GPUs, a terabyte of memory and we've got rid of hard disks, it's stored in the cloud.

Having dreamed the dream, he then continued to explain that, of course, people would want more.

"You'd go, 'Yeah, it's all very well, but can't we have five audio processors?' It's about analysing what you've got and the new ways you can do things."
