game news Star Wars Jedi Survivor avoids PS4 and One… EA explains why
Cal Kestis, the hero of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, made his comeback a few days ago with the announcement of a new work titled Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. Unfortunately for fans of the first hour, this new production will be exclusive to the next generation, that is, for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Respawn Entertainment, the developers of the game, explains why.
To infinity and beyond!
After many rumors were shared about it, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, Cal Kestis’ next adventure, came out of the shadows during Star Wars Celebration 2022. During this event, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor offers an impressive first trailer in CGI, as well as some surprising news: the title will not be released on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. This information got people talking about it, which is why Stig Asmussen, the game director, decided to speak up today. And, unsurprisingly, this choice was made to get the most out of the new machines.
I think the difference is mainly in ray tracing or lighting, we have the ability to play with light in real time to a greater degree than anything we’ve done before. Since it’s real time, we can immediately see the changes we’re making in terms of lighting. Which means we have more time to modify more and get results with a more cinematic dimension. Stig Asmussen, director of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor
But that’s not all, the director also adds that the team preferred to abandon the old generation versions in favor of the PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X | S versions for not having loading times, and for that, it was necessary to use the magic SSDs of the new gaming platforms.
There are also those ultra-fast drives that allow us to load a ton of content in the snap of a finger. I’ve always worked on games that don’t have a loading screen and the fact that these consoles have a fast storage system makes it a lot easier. These are probably the two main benefits (of only using the next generation). Stig Asmussen
An additional benefit for the PS5
In addition to fast loading and ray tracing that will allow for increasingly realistic images, PlayStation 5 will have one more edge over the competition. no surprise, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor will take advantage of the various abilities of the DualSense.
I am not forgetting the haptic features of the DualSense that we are currently working on. Stig Asmussen
We imagine then that the haptic vibrations of the console will allow us to feel the blows that Cal Kestis deals with his enemies or that the adaptive triggers will make us feel the power of the Force. Either way, we’re looking forward to it.
You got it, like Buzz Lightyear, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor aims to go to infinity and beyond by 100% exploiting new game platforms. Therefore, we can expect a great show! Everything will be released on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S in 2023.
