Mallat: "PS4, Xbox 720 graphics to blow you away"
As E3 2013 nears, so the does the dawn of the next-generation of home consoles. Gamers have been given a brief glimpse at what Sony’s PS4 is capable of thru titles like “inFamous: Second Son” and “Killzone: Shadow Fall.” Meanwhile, Microsoft will officially reveal the Next Xbox on May 21. Despite this, Ubisoft’s CEO Yannis Mallat shared on May 9 that the visuals these machines produce will blow us away, though the new systems offer much more than just impressive visuals.
In the June 2013 issue of Game Informer, Mallat discussed in an interview that Sony and Microsoft’s next-generation consoles – PS4 and the Next Xbox, Xbox 720, Durango or whatever you like to call it – will “blow us away” with their visuals. Although the graphics will be impressive, he believes these systems offer more than solely stunning visuals.
"I think minds will be blown by the graphics as a hook, as an entry door," stated Mallat, but continued to share that there is more to these consoles than graphics.
One of the greatest benefits the next-generation brings is freedom to developers.
"I think that amount of power gives a lot of freedom to our creators and then it’s up to them to tailor and tame that power to what suits the game the best."
"To me, what’s lying beneath that or beyond that will keep our players involved. When you think about that, even on current generation systems it always takes some time for developers to tame the machine - especially the PlayStation 3."
