Phil Spencer, head of Microsoft's gaming division, has once again turned to social media to praise the company's next-generation console: Xbox Series X. The manager affirms that the ray tracing "on console be great". He also speculates that the generational leap, at least in terms of the sensation that the games convey, will be more important than any other from the transition from 2D to 3D.
"Console ray tracing will be great," Spencer replies to a Twitter user asking about this technology, which allows for more realistic recreation of lighting and sound. However, the most visible head of the Xbox brand says it is "very focused on the work they are doing around Dynamic Latency Entry"
RT on console will be great. I'm very focused on the work we are doing around Dynamic Latency Input (DLI). In my view the feel of games this upcoming generation will change as dramatically as any since 2D to 3D given CPU upgrade, DLI, memory bandwidth and SSD.— Phil Spencer (@ XboxP3) April 27, 2020
At official blog Xbox Wire define this technology as a feature that "developers will be able to more accurately synchronize player input with game simulation and rendering loop, further reducing input latency when playing." Spencer believes that this, along with other technical improvements, will major change from the current generation of consoles
"From my point of view the sensation of the games in the next generation will change as drastically as any other from the transition from 2D to 3D," he says, referring to what happened in the 1990s with PlayStation, Saturn and Nintendo 64. It It is due to "improved CPU, DLI (Dynamic Latency Input), memory bandwidth and SSD".
In July 2019, Spencer already highlighted this improvement in the sensation of the games over other characteristics that the then-named Project Scarlett would bring with it. In an interview with Weekly Famitsu (goes Twinfinite) pointed out that as important as the graphic improvement is the improvement of the "gameplay feel"
Xbox Series X reach stores at late 2020. Rumors suggest that Microsoft plans two digital console presentation events: one in May and one in June. In the first one it will be revealed Xbox Series S or Project Lockhart, a next-generation console with less power and cheaper.
