PlayStation 5 will generate "dynamic", "interactive" worlds

4.3
What will the next generation of games look like? It's hard to imagine the visual fidelity of video games being pushed much more than they already have been, but according to comments from ex-Criterion tech director Paul Ross, the PlayStation 5 could deliver incredible worlds.

Speaking to EDGE (via Videogamer), Ross discussed how video game developers had to be mindful of the direction technology was heading in. After all, they often work on games for consoles that don't yet exist.

Ross would sit there thinking: "'What does a PlayStation 5 game look like? What does an Xbox Two game look like? And how can we start to build for that future now?'

"So what does a PS5 game look like? With PS4 we've seen some fidelity put into the worlds, but PS5's going to be about more dynamic worlds, far more interactive worlds that are more believable in the way they behave."


So the next generation might not be a simple case of seeing prettier games, but we'll likely see big strides taken with the underlying systems - the physics and the artificial intelligence, for example.

Ross left Criterion in 2014 to co-found Three Fields Entertainment, a studio that's currently working on its debut game, Dangerous Golf, about smashing a golf ball into a dense room and causing chaos, destroying everything within.

It's very physics-based, with stuff shattering depending on the velocity it's struck at, and items toppling into one another as the levels fall apart in a domino effect.

Even these systems could see a "real paradigm shift" in the future, he says, with games possibly "simulating physics at a molecular level" instead of using the rigid systems we use today.

Christian- Hopefully PS5 or Xbox Two won't be coming out for a pretty long time because that would suck! although how many of you would get it and leave your console you're on at the moment?


See when it comes to consoles they have about a $ year life span. I would be fine with upgrading because I didn't and don't wait like others for 3-4 years into the current generation to get it. I would get it within the 1st-2nd year which would give me plenty of value of the current generation.

I honestly like to keep up-to-date with the next-gen material. So I'd keep my Xbox One and just get Xbox Two, to put in my living room.

Would just love a game with a massive open world, different countries etc and being able to do whatever you want

That's going to be amazing probably won't be released until 2018 though.

When is the PS5 out? PS4 is really old now...

NicklessPosted:

Wow I can't believe that we are already talking about next gen stuff.

I know this is extremely off topic but I now just figured out the PS logo pretty cool.

RinPosted:

There were already speculations of next gen coming in 2018 which I believe is too early compared to last gens run. But yea, this is just promotional talk. Won't probably see next gen til early 2020's.
