Every time we hear something new about the next-gen, the idea that the machines prepared by Microsoft and Sony are really strong is taking hold. Xbox Series X has already revealed its specs, and PlayStation 5 has also done the same. To this we must add the statements of developers praising the hardware of both, which suggests that exciting times are coming both technically and playfully. But, Are 60 frames per second going to be the standard now? It seems not.
The team responsible for The Sinking City, Frogwares, has talked about the new generation with Wffctech
Oganesyan raises the situation in which teams like yours can be found, that they cannot launch into developing triple A's in which hundreds of people work and, therefore, there is more margin of time, money and personnel to polish edges and achieve exquisite performance in video games. Because of that, he believes that something that we will see very often is the possibility of «Choose between resolution and frame rate», something that we have already been able to see with consoles such as PlayStation 4 Pro and Xbox One X in the current generation.
It is not the only thing mentioned by the Frogwares in his statements. He also wanted to dedicate a few words to what will the start of the new generation be like, and what he expects both in technical and mechanical terms with the first games we see during 2020 and 2021 of this. Of which we could also see progress very soon.
The start of the next-gen with Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 will not be so spectacular
The Frogwares CM is sure that "probably, we shouldn't expect a spectacular jump in terms of game quality as the general rule, especially since intergenerational games they will be present for a while ». He is sure that the developers have not already made the leap and burned all the bridges of the current generation, and that we will see more games released for PS4, Xbox One, PS5 and Xbox Series X that will slow down a bit the great news of the new generation. A sack in which we will probably have to put the new Assassin’s Creed.
Still, improvements can be expected. With the passage of time, we can see titles that really surprise both visually and playable. Oganesyan has clear examples: "We've already seen really beautiful games, like Red Dead Redemption 2 and Horizon: Zero Dawn, and I can't imagine how good those games would look on next-gen hardware«. We will have to wait, but the most important leap will be seen over time, when it goes from being new to the current generation.
