Astro Bots instruktør Nicolas Doucet har på mange måder slået et slag for PS5, endda forsvaret konsollen overfor en PC-oplevelse både for udviklere og spillere. Mens PC-purister stadig mener, at deres platform er bedre, fremhæver Doucet den simple charme ved den øjeblikkelige underholdning, en konsol tilbyder.
I et interview med The Game Post sagde han: "It's specific hardware that is absolutely set. You know that what you see in your office making the game, is definitely what people will see in their home playing the game. That allows us to focus, because you're not putting in time dealing with compatibility or permutations. It's why I've always liked consoles...I've always preferred to be on the console side, because it's all about just plug and play."
Med hensyn til PS5 mener Doucet, at den har taget store skridt fremad sammenlignet med PS4, selvom nogle fans måske ikke ser det sådan. Hemmeligheden bag PS5's største generationsspring? DualSense og en SSD, ifølge Doucet.
"But I do think the PS5, between the DualSense and the SSD, really brought something special. With the SSD... I'm thinking of things like the Souls games, where you die a lot. And when you die, you used to have to wait a long time before you get a second try. With the SSD, that becomes really, really fast. So, in terms of just the pleasure of play, that's really increased," sagde han og tilføjede, at mens ting som grafik kan vurderes på få sekunder foran en skærm, kræver performance og controllere, at spilleren tager sig tid til at forstå forskellene.
