Speaking in a stream with Geoff Keighley for the Summer Game Fest (which you can view below), Boon said that while many people are focused on how much visuals will improve in games with the upcoming consoles, the thing that he’s more excited about is reduced loading times in next-gen games, which Boon says will allow developers to pull off things that haven’t been possible in games up until now.
“It’s funny when these new consoles come out and everybody goes ‘ok what do the graphics look like?'” he said (transcribed by Twinfinite). “I think people are underestimating the impact that the almost zero loading time is going to have.
“That’s suddenly going to open doors that weren’t considered possible before and I think we haven’t even scratched the surface of what will eventually be done with those systems.”
With the PS5 and Xbox Series X both in line for incoming events that will show off some of their games, we’re hoping we’ll come to see the effects that their more powerful hardware has had on development sooner rather than later. With so many developers in the industry excited about it potential, it’s clear that there’s certainly quite a lot of stuff to look forward to.
