“Doors will open to what used to be impossible”: Mortal Kombat developer Ed Boone praises the PS5 and Xbox Series X

During today’s live broadcast Summer Game Fest creative director NetherRealm Studios Ed Boone told Jeff Kayleigh about his impressions of next-generation consoles. Creator Mortal kombatin particular, he mentioned that people can underestimate the impact that almost instant download times will have on games.

He also added that to date, they have not revealed to us the tip of the iceberg of what they are capable of Xbox Series X and Playstation 5.

“It’s funny to see when, when new consoles appear, everyone is only interested in how the graphics will look. I think people underestimate the impact that the download time will have almost zero. With this, the developers will immediately open the doors to what was previously considered impossible, and “in my opinion, until we even saw a small fraction of what will ultimately be done with these systems.”

Talking about the demo Unreal engine 5shown last week, Boone expressed enthusiasm for what he saw and confidence that a new approach to working with memory and downloads will lead to tremendous results.

“For me, the graphics seem to be a given. The fact that the visual effects will be better is certainly good, but a new approach to working with memory and downloads will play a serious role.”
