We had the chance to put a few questions to Envizions CEO Derrick Samuels regarding the new EVO: Phase One, the PC / console hybrid, in an attempt to clarify exactly what gamers can expect from the device when it launches this fall.
One lucky MegaGames reader will actually own one this fall, a week before the rest of the world, and everyone is discussing it but what is the machine we call EVO: Phase One? Traditionally any new console is treated with suspicion by gamers as it is usually hard to see past the marketing hype. Imagine a machine that plays all PC games but also innovative console titles, a device which will let you play different games on several locations in the house simultaneously but can also record TV and deliver shows and movies on demand, a machine which will use biometrics to allow you access to your saved games; now stop imagining and keep reading to find out how exactly it all comes together.
The questions we put to Mr. Samuels examine the vision behind EVO: Phase One, the actual features of the machine and how gamers can expect to benefit from the device. It was refreshing to have answers which focused on the product and avoided the usual marketing spiel while the feeling you get from Envizions is that they are a closely knit unit working hard on their product. Although the official unveiling of Evo: Phase One will take place at E3 2006 in May, MegaGames gives you the lowdown on a promising alternative for gamers.
