Normalt ville man nok pege på overgangen fra 2D- til 3D-grafik, eller måske introduktionen af HD, der rent teknologisk repræsenterer det største generationsmæssige spring for spilbranchen til dato. Sådan har Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford dog ikke helt, for han mener at Xbox Series X og PlayStation 5, altså den nye generation der står for døren, bliver den største nogensinde.
I et interview med GameSpot fortæller Pitchford, at begge systemer repræsenterer et massivt hop fremad, et hop som vil gå over i historien.
"I think customers will realize how profound of a difference it is to have the throughput capability that these new platforms bring. It's just absolutely unreal. The leap there with PS5 and Xbox Series X is the biggest leap I have ever seen in the history of console generations. I'm saying, including the leap from 2D to 3D. It's going to change the way we think about every bit of our experiences. However, it's going to be hard to see that in the initial launch titles because a lot of the launch titles are games that were endeavored upon before. Frankly, there are a lot of ports, and games that have already [available] on existing platforms that are being reimagined with these new platforms."
Det er store ord, men tror du at der er noget om snakken?
