The technical director of Death Stranding 2 says that the leap from PS4 to PS5 is not that big, "it is only" more efficient ".

The Chief Technical Officer from Kojima Productions, Akio Sakamoto, says that the leap from PS4 on PS5 “is not that big”, “but at least the achievement of design goals in death strand 2” more efficient “.

In his latest edition with the Edge Magazine – now for sale – Sakamoto asks a question about what the team can achieve on PS5 that was not possible when PS4 was the lead format. This is not the jump from PS1 to PS2, but the new hardware system certainly helps to make development easier.

“The most obvious improvement from a technological point of view is the reduction in loading times, but to be honest, the difference between the two hardware systems is not that big,” he says. “It is more of a case than more efficient possibilities for PS5 have similar goals.

“Nevertheless, our artists are less retired to create the world without developing level workarounds. But this freedom naturally has beaten effects and technical challenges for the programmers. In a way, it has created an environment in which the artists are now out of control.”

It is the kind of opinion that we have heard more recently. Just last year, the former PlayStation boss Shawn Layden said that “they will not see any other PS1 -SPS2 performance jump”, and we are probably probably approaching “a point where the console becomes irrelevant”.

“We are now at a point where the innovation curve on the hardware starts with plateau or top,” said Layden at the time. “At the same time, the commoditization of silicon means [it’s the same]. I think we're pretty close to [the] Last specification for a console. “

Until then, however, there are still a few victories on the development page, which fortunately makes it easier to implement new ideas in games like Death Stranding 2. We know that the next game of Hideo Kojima looked a day and night cycle for one and at one point a bit too “Metal Gear-Ish”, said some developers. With the release date on June 26, you will soon see all of this enough for yourself.

Hideo Kojima doesn't really listen to feedback when it comes to the death of beaching or metal Gear Solid's stories: “I am not interested in doing something that appeals to everyone.”
