Devolver Boss Struggles To See Difference Between Next Gen Consoles

Devolver Digital co-founder Graeme Struthers has said that he struggles to see the difference between current-gen consoles and the next-generation.

Speaking to GameSpot at PAX Australia, Struthers said:

Struthers praised this generation for really letting indie developers through the doors, historically it’s been quite difficult for small developers to really make their way into consumers’ hands through the likes of PlayStation or Xbox.

Concerningly, Atsushi Inaba, head producer at Platinum Games told Video Games Chronicle that the next-gen consoles are good for consumers, but ultimately is just more of the same:

But this is a concern we have heard several times over. Often, it takes developers a little time to find their footing with a new generation of consoles. When we compare a launch game for the Xbox One or PlayStation 5 to what has recently been released, the difference is monumental.

The PlayStation 5 and Microsoft’s Xbox Project Scarlett both have Holiday 2020 launch windows.
