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.

Cant say I havent heard this before. Is what they always say to hype up next gen consoles

Honestly I think with next gen consoles they need to focus more on added tech, being able to upgrade your system in order to play higher quality or larger games.

Maybe the next, next gen consoles with hold some type of candle to the greatness that is PC gaming...

Just kidding. PC is and has been so far ahead that it isn't funny. These consoles shouldn't be that far behind PCs in the gaming side of things.

Tricks Chill, Playstation 4 came out not even 2 years ago.


It's all about the money I bet them consoles cost around £30 to makes and they sell them for £500 so the more they get the less they care


not even close.... both companies make, maybe $30 on consoles when they sell them. They make all their money off games and accessories. When games get put on playstation console, sony gets a decent portion of that game's profits. then each controller they make probably another $30, maybe $40 on


it came out 2 years ago but remember Technology is growing faster and faster. Consoles cant even run games good
