The head of Summer Game Fest and The Game Awards disagrees with the voices that make the graphic change more discreet than expected.
The graphic leap that PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X will represent with respect to current-generation consoles promises to be very great, but we have not yet seen in terms of exclusive titles for each platform how appreciable these technical changes will be. Geoff Keighley, responsible for The Game Awards and the Summer Game Fest program, has been opposed to an article on the IGN portal where they consider that this generational jump will be less sensitive than desired.
"This article will not age well"
It is not always correct in the forecasts and, according to Keighley: "This article will not age well". Your opinion reflects, in this way, hope (or security, if you have already seen in action that power of the next home consoles from Sony and Microsoft) that the visual difference between PS4 and Xbox One with the future PS5 and Xbox Series X will be really responsive and meaningful.

At the moment, we only know that in July we will see the first Xbox Game Studios first party games planned for the American machine. In addition, both the 13 titles shown on the latest Inside Xbox and the first parties are enhanced with the "Optimized" badge, which will ensure 4K resolutions are reached, refresh rates up to 120 FPS, DirectStorage, hardware-accelerated DirectX ray tracing , ultra fast loading time or Smart Delivery, which means that we only buy each game once: we run the best version no matter what model of Xbox console we have.
Microsoft has confirmed that more than 140 studios are already working on Xbox Series X
Well-known Summer Game Fest roadmap: a tiered E3
The cancellation of E3 2020 is irreparable; as are other fairs that have been directly affected by the coronavirus health crisis (COVID-19). This is not an obstacle to taking alternatives and, therefore, the video game sector will experience a summer period full of ads, surprises and emotions scattered between the months of May and August with the intention of not cannibalizing itself among large publishers. Thus, the so-called Summer Game Fest will serve to order and separate large events from the main companies (except Nintendo) in this semester; from here to August with what will be the digital Gamescom.
After the first Inside Xbox, this May 12 at 18:00 (CEST) we will have the announcement of a "surprise game". In June, July and August there are already several confirmed weight events.
However, both PS5 and Xbox Series X have promised in different statements their commitment to launch on the market at Christmas 2020. The price, yes, is unknown at the moment.
