Well, we have GDC and PAX this month, and of course the Xbox event next month (which they'll likely start invites this month)
Mid March is much better than late April for sure...

What's CVGs track record with their rumors?
Hit and miss over the years. Haven't kept track too much in the last year.
Yes IllumiRoom is real. Microsoft will showcase it in detail at ACM CHI 2013 (27. April - 2. May).
Quote from IllumiRoom research page:

Illumiroom has already been demonstrated at CES I think, and we know it will be shown at a research conference in April (April 27th - May 2nd).
Looks like it's about Illumiroom.

Yeah yeah. I heard it doesn't come with a HDMI out port by default as it streams to your tablet as standard for that ultra casual flavour.

Thanks, I'm sure it is one of the keys for Durango.
Sounds like IllumiRoom

That's a crazy fear to have. Microsoft will have a standard controller, rumours have suggested it will be changed in some way. Quite looking forward to see what they've done with it and how much impact, if any Perceptive Pixel have had on the new controller.

3dv's zcam was a tof camera... If they are the ones developing the new kinect will it be a tof camera too?
It would explain the marginal increase in res for the leaked specs, as well the comments about it being more precise.
Gearing up for the next gen! Rare has been snatching up a lot of folk from Codemasters lately.
Gearing up for next-gen. Not really weird.

Next gen development.

What does "tof" stand for?
Yep. Racer inbound from Rare?

time-of-flight. It's a different technology than the one used in Primesense sensors (structured light).
But in the end it doesn't change much for the software part : it's still dealing with a depth map.

I misworded my question. I meant to point out that it is a bit concerning that they've only recently hired people for projects. I would have assumed they had multiple projects in the works for at least a year by now. But maybe they're just ramping up for the final stretch before release...
grasping at straws...
I hope cvg sources are wrong, they need GDC to give open talks to developers.

"Welcome to March" is most likely a reference to the new Gears game.

Companies regularly hire even the same year their games release. Ubisoft is still hiring right now for Watch Dogs.
That came to my mind as well.

We see the Durango this month, it just feels.... it just feels riiight. Yeaaaah.
End of a "mental" week makes it sound like there was definitely a time crunch on it. Maybe it's real soon. MS feeling the heat.

Why should it be a reference if he also could have said it more directly. I doubt it.

It would also explain why there is now a usable IR stream. The IR stream would only be useable when depth tracking was not being used because it would mess up the patterns needed by the PrimeSense stuff. Doesn't necessarily mean they got rid of PrimeSense, but it certainly leads credence to it. They probably wanted to get rid of the cost for the PrimeSense stuff.

Even if their event is in April, doesn't mean they can't talk about next gen in March.

Don't know. Could be a reference to an ad campaign that's revving up. Every leak about Microsoft's launch plans say April.
That's a possibility, which would also allow devs to talk about their next gen Xbox games.

Shame that the Rare we once loved died a long time ago, otherwise might be excited.
it would be a weird attempt to hype the new gow.

Yeah, maybe they want to talk about things a little earlier than originally planned.

I wish they rename rare but i understand why they will not for nostalgia reasons. believe it or not there are still people from far as battletoads working there.
I will never get this logic.

What else do they have to hype? No big retail games. No big downloadable games. Gears is pretty much all they got on 360 this year. Based on their early 360 marketing this year, they appear to be more interested in pushing third party games playable on the 360 to promote their console. I hope it's news about the next Xbox, because news about the current one is pretty damn dry.
Because no other development team in the world has ever lost people. They've all stayed together and released consistently high quality games all the time. Every time.
I agree with this. When they were making shitty Nintendo knock-offs with crappy framerates, I wasn't a fan. Viva Pinata made me a fan, but it didn't last long.
