“SSD means almost instant downloads”: The creator of The Last of Us and Uncharted 4 talked about the transition to PlayStation 5

Most recently on Playstation 4 the dismal release of a gloomy adventure game The Last of Us: Part II, and now that the developers from the studio Naughty dog squeezed out all the juices from the console of the current generation, they are completely ready to switch to Playstation 5. True, before this they are going to take a breath and relax.

It is still unknown what the next Naughty Dog game will be, but as told Neil Drackmann in the podcast Talking games, the team is already introducing the new console solid state drive Sony will allow her to realize almost instant downloads and abandon the need to go for various tricks.

“At the end of the console generation, you always feel the limitations. It seems as if you are pushing against a wall and trying to find cracks through which you can move a little further in terms of memory, processor or hard drive speed in order to realize your plan.

The beginning of a new generation is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, it is necessary to create new technologies for a new system, and this can be a daunting task. But on the other hand, suddenly there is a feeling of freedom: “My God, I can breathe again! We can go beyond these restrictions.”

One of the elements we admire is the SSD [PlayStation 5]which means almost instant downloads to us, “said Neil Drackmann.

According to the developer, Naughty Dog is doing a great job to minimize downloads in his games, and the PlayStation 5 should completely transform this concept..

“Usually you don’t see loading screens, but a lot of things happen behind the scenes. This concerns the elaboration of levels and dividing them into zones. The player does not imagine all this. So having an SSD will allow us to limit ourselves less,” explained the creator of The Last of Us .
