Bethesda director and producer Todd Howard recently spoke to GameStar about the power of the Xbox One and PS4. He also teased Bethesda’s next project and are looking forward to surprising people in the future. This of course leads us to believe that it will be Fallout 4.
“Yes [we can stretch boundaries of old generation]. With the new systems, the main thing they really have – processing power mostly drives graphics – but the amount of memory makes a huge difference for the kinds of games that we make. So now that we’re getting into 8GB (RAM) and so fourth, we doing things we really only wanna do on the PC…”
“Think about how we store and stream our games…We can just think about a lot more stuff at once, like characters across the world, even if their not on the screen. In Skyrim, it’s clear we haven’t loaded the buildings…If we have enough memory, it’s already loaded when you’re near. We can have the sounds from the inside come out.”
Will it really be Fallout 4? We’ll have to wait and stay tuned.
