Magicka 2 is an upcoming action adventure console exclusive for the PlayStation 4. Given that most games run on at 1080p on the PlayStation 4, will it be a fair expectation that Magicka 2 will achieve the same?
We raised the same question to the game’s Associate Producer Peter Cornelius and he seemed pretty confident of achieving that benchmark. “Yup. Life starts at 1080p,” he said in an interview with GamingBolt. It must also be added that the original Magicka had awesome lighting effects so how is the development team coping with the PS4 GPU to handle some of the heavy graphical effects of Magicka 2 and how are they dealing with the latency of the GDDR5 memory?
According to Peter there are challenges but regardless the game is looking awesome on the PS4. “Every platform has its own challenges. I played an early PS4 version just the other day and it’s gorgeous.”
Paradox Interactive will be publishing the game on PC and PS4 and Pieces Interactive are handling the development duties. Stay tuned for more news and updates regarding Magicka 2.
