The founder and CEO of the company praises the technology of the new Sony console: "It is a real category," he concludes.
Tim Sweeney, CEO of Epic Games and founder of the company, has not shaken his pulse when applauding the potential of the SSD hard drive that incorporates PlayStation 5, the new generation console from Sony. In a talk he has had with Geoff Keighley, master of ceremonies for The Game Awards and the Summergame Fest event, the manager has stated that it is the best storage system available on any system.
The comment comes as a result of the presentation of Unreal Engine 5, the new version of the graphics engine from Epic Games, which was shown in style by means of a technical demo that works on PlayStation 5. “Sony's storage system is top notch, ”says Sweeney in the video. “Not only the best on console, but also on any platform. Better than high-end PCs. "

Loading times will go down in history, according to Epic
Another of Sweeney's reflections points to one of the most important improvements that we will see in the new generation of machines. Loading times, very present today, will no longer be a problem. "The world of loading screens is over." This is how forceful the maximum responsible for Epic is, who adds: "The days of the geometric elements appearing throughout the scenarios have ended."
Both PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X are planned for the end of the year, despite the slips of both companies, which through different official channels mistakenly hinted that their systems would go on sale prematurely. In any case, there are still many unknowns to discover. The following months will be crucial.
Meanwhile, Unreal Engine 5 has already shown what it is capable of. Furthermore, Microsoft has confirmed that Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2 is being developed with this technology.
