Slightly Mad Studios, the team behind the Project CARS series, surprised gamers all over the world recently by announcing a brand new console, currently known as the Mad Box, which will launch in the next three years. A few hours ago, CEO Ian Bell spoke more about the upcoming console, how easy it will be to develop for it and more.
According to Ian Bell, developers won't have any trouble developing for the Mad Box, as it will be "very easy" to develop for. Additionally, the team's cross-platform free technology will also make it easy to develop for other consoles and PC.
