The director and creative director of the latest God of War talks about the benefits of the PS5.
If the developers are also numerous to evoke the SSD from PS5 since the last speech by Mark Cerny, the lead architect of the new console of Sony, it is because it will truly be the most efficient product on the market. Cory Barlog made no secret of his admiration for the PS5 hardware during the last issue of Animal Talking with Gary Whitta: “She is really exciting. We hack and observe a lot of stuff and the SSD is, especially for me, just amazing. I am impatient and dislike load times in all of their forms. Sure God of War, we’ve come a long way since the days of the PS2 to try and hide loadouts so that you never really feel that artificial element that gets you out of the stuff. We’ve made it happen in the menus, while you’re upgrading skills, etc. There will be some really cool things we can do, I think.”
Cory Barlog wants to master the hardware of the PS5 before presenting a new project
If the technical mastery gained with the PS4 will allow us to gain a head start, Cory Barlog does not want fans to get carried away and announces that some projects will take time before showing up on the new PlayStation. The announcement of a God of War 2 on PS5 could still be desired for a long time: “I think with the coming generation, we may not have to start from scratch. Maybe we’re just going to have to say to ourselves, ‘okay, now that we can do all of these other things now, what areas are we going to focus our efforts on?’ Because at the end of the day, it’s human placed effort that brings all of these games to life. And even if you got it all technically by the first year, it still takes you four or five years to really dig into it and create something. In my opinion, we are going to have a lot of surprises from different studios. On some games, we can say to ourselves ‘hey, I also control what they do there’ and thus have interesting and new things that the developers will try. It might be a few years before we can see the possible magic that is possible with this hardware… and it’s super exciting.“
