The manager explains why he is so excited about the arrival of the new generation of consoles and points out the aspects where XSX will stand out the most.
The arrival of the next generation of consoles is getting closer. With Christmas 2020 as a goal, both Microsoft and Sony are working on Xbox Series X and PS5, respectively. Phil Spencer, vice president of the North American giant and head of Xbox, has commented on the social network Twitter why he believes that the jump we are going to make is going to be massive, significant; the largest since the transition from 2D to 3D occurred in the 1990s.
"Console raytracing will be great," he begins, saying when asked by a follower. In fact, Kevin Floyer, a member of the study in charge of the Sniper Elite series, said last week that Microsoft's DirectX Raytracing will benefit open worlds and stealth games.
“I am very focused on the work we are doing around the Dynamic Latency Input (DLI). From my point of view, the feel of next-generation games will change as dramatically as from 2D to 3D given the improved CPUs, DLIs, bandwidth and SSDs, "he says. The mentioned DLI is an improvement in system technology to reduce latency, which will be accompanied by the HDMI 2.1 specification.
RT on console will be great. I'm very focused on the work we are doing around Dynamic Latency Input (DLI). In my view the feel of games this upcoming generation will change as dramatically as any since 2D to 3D given CPU upgrade, DLI, memory bandwidth and SSD.
