Remedy Talks Next-Gen, "It's A Quantum Leap"

Posted on Thursday, August 23 @ 12:00:00 Eastern by Alex_Osborn


Remedy Entertainment, the guys behind Alan Wake, definitely know how to make a pretty game, so believe their head of franchise development when he says that the next generation of gaming hardware provides a significant upgrade.

With video games continuing to get increasingly more realistic, we're bound to reach a plateau, but according to Remedy's Oskari Hakkinen, we haven't reached it yet. In an interview with the German edition of GamesIndustry, Hakkinen said that the (still unannounced) next-generation gaming hardware will provide a major jump for gamers.

"Currently we are working – like always – with a relatively small team on a next-gen project," Hakkinen explained. "One question you always ask yourself in this phase is: can the upcoming consoles really be so much better compared to the current gen? I can rest assure you, they are! It’s a quantum leap.”

And there you have it. Start getting excited, because the next Xbox and PlayStation can't be too far off.

    Here's the thing. No one's asking for a next-gen console. Sure the games are starting to look like crap compared to PC games with DirectX 11, but I'm sure most people aren't ready to dish out another $400-600 for another console just yet. I still feel this generation has a while to go still.

    No one is asking for a next gen console? This statement comes from someone very misinformed.

    I have talked to a few people and read some articles where people aren't ready for a next-generation console yet. I for one am not ready yet either. I feel there's still a lot of room for improvement and some life left in this cycle.

    Until developers can make proper physics, believable AI, and have better story writing, then I don't care if next gen's graphics look as real as the person next to me.

    You say that as though physics and advanced AI aren't HUGELY demanding on system power.
