Are Rare working on the next generation?

It seems that Rare has its sights set firmly on the next generation of gaming according to a recent job listing spotted online.

Rare is searching for an engineer who can “understand, assess and be capable of implementing real-time rendering techniques made possible by DirectX 11″. The Xbox 360 does not, at present, support DirectX 11, therefore future technology is needed to run upcoming games.

Another job listing stated something completely different as it listed, “experience around delivering and running online services or Free-to-play experiences as a distinct advantage for potential applicants”.

Future Kinect titles were also hinted at which may likely suggest Wii Kinect Sports 3 or, here’s hoping, a new Viva Pinata title. But do you think the free-to-play model is the future of gaming? Let us know below.
