The PlayStation 5 (PS5) is set to be the doorway to more 'realistic' worlds, and we owe it to its next-generation hardware, and seemingly, the developers are quite excited about it. JRPG Fairy Tale producer Keisuke Kikuchi shared how the SSD and AMD Zen 2 processor of PS5 will allow for the designing and development of more 'realistic' and 'natural' game worlds. In addition, the game producer expressed how happy he is that this latest development from one of today's most-played games will significantly widen the range of operations and depiction.
Consequently, in an article techradar.com posted, Kikuchi added, "I look forward to being able to have more natural depictions, and especially those that feel real as if you are there." More so, he stimulated the manner the Solid State Drive (SSD) would lessen the PS5 games loading times, letting the developers develop more extravagant cinematics. But with these improvements in hardware also occur possible problems, putting so much pressure on the clock speeds of the processor as the console works to produce the enhanced effects and visuals.
The PS5 Specs
It is no longer that surprising that the developers are so enthusiastic about these new PS5 possibilities. From what has been observed so far, the next-gen console has quite the specs of the hardware to play effectively with. For beginners, the PS5 prides an "AMD ZWN 2 processor which unlocks the ray-tracing power, an advanced technique for lighting" that can lead to next-level engagement in gaming visuals.
It is usually only a specification seen on PC and automatically humps up the graphical quality. Outside the games, ray tracing is typically reserved for the so-called "big-budget CGI spectacles." Another key component for the PS5 specs in developing the 'realistic' depictions is the SSD, which will provide the console more natural storage and making it faster to load. Seemingly, as Kikuchi continues to describe the PS5 specs, the new SSD is 19 times faster than the conventional methods of the SSD storage, which needs to result in nearly flawless transitions.
PlayStation's Future Direction
In a statement sent out, and separate from the gaming producer's interview about the latest in PS5 and PS5 specs, Sony, the company behind PlayStation, enumerated two keywords for PlayStation's future direction: "seamless" and "immersive," along with an immersive experience developed by intensely increased graphics executing speeds, attained through the application of further enhanced computational power, as well as custom-made ultrafast broadband SSD.
Clearly, to develop a more natural game world, lacking loading screens is crucial. This appears to be something Sony is really concentrating on with the PS5. A Sony patent describes a kind of loading software made to end the loading screens fundamentally. The patent is defined as, 'System and method for animatedly loading the software for the smooth playing of the game.' Relatively, it summarizes a technology that tracks the movement of the player through his environment and loads related assets as he moves into some areas.
And finally, Kikuchi enthusiastically shared, it would definitely be interesting to see the worlds which the developers have come up with, as they harness the PS5 power. However, he added, PlayStation enthusiasts need to wait until late next year to see and experience the possibilities.
