The consoles of Sony and Microsoft for the next generation will arrive with a CPU not only with improvements for the players, but also developers.
The next generation of consoles is getting closer. Unless the situation around the fear of the coronavirus is aggravated, which can disrupt the manufacturing and distribution plans of both PS5 and Xbox Series X, it will be at Christmas when we have the new Sony and Microsoft consoles in stores. At a recent developer table, IGN has asked several industry professionals about what they expect most from the new machines.
“You can move much faster”
"The increased power and speed of consoles like Xbox Series X will mean that we will have worlds much bigger than ever," says Elijah Freeman, vice president of Virtuos Games, who already work with this new hardware. “You can also move much faster, whether you are driving a high-speed car or flying in a dragon; maybe without any loading times, ”he adds.
Bryant Cannon, chief developer of Night School Studio (Afterpartry, Oxenfree), says that SSD memory will be a before and after for developers because “by having a solid state disk, we can make sure that each level is going to load in seconds; so we can broadcast worlds where virtually nothing is affected, ”he insists, which will free them from problems when designing their game worlds.
If you want to know everything we know about both Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 to date, we recommend this report in the case of the Microsoft solution; and this one for the fifth generation of Sony home machines. Also, the games; We have dedicated an article to all confirmed Xbox Series X and PS5 games that we will be updating before each new announcement.
The price of both consoles is still unknown; it will not be until the next weeks or months when such details are offered. Microsoft has a clear track at E3 2020 – which will not be canceled due to the coronavirus, it seems – since Sony will be leaving the angel fair for the second consecutive year.
