The new consoles also feature SSD storage, radically faster than anything we’ve seen before, even in the PC space. Both the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X offer CPU horsepower that’s an order of magnitude greater than their predecessors, alongside the expected boost to graphics capabilities. This generation, the increase in CPU capabilities is a key highlight. And interestingly, a handful of cross-gen titles like Metal Gear Solid 5 even managed to deliver some of these features on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.Īnd, as we sit on the cusp of the ninth-gen, we’re about to see another leap in progress and fidelity.
Physically-based rendering and GPU-accelerated particles were introduced right at launch.
In the eighth gen, we again saw advances in terms of graphics. Some games leveraged the “next-gen” consoles superior processing capabilities to deliver an unprecedented number of NPCs on screen, with unique patterns of behavior. Back in the mid 2000s, when the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 just hit the market, rag doll physics, real time shadowing, and light bloom became important parts of the visual makeup of many games. This is something we see in every generation. With the increase in graphics and CPU capabilities come new features that just weren’t possible a generation earlier. The arrival of a new console generation always means a significant change in the way games look and how they play. Barring any last-minute delays, both the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X should hit shelves before the end of 2020. We are now just a few months from the arrival of the ninth console generation.
Giants Software gives as an example the Claas Axion above, which should take up 70% less space on this new installment of the game.It’s crazy how fast time flies. The general optimization of Farming Simulator 22 compared to 19 is therefore obvious. Farming Simulator 22, on the same consoles, will allow 2749 locations, more than double! For the current generation consoles, that is to say the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series consoles, 5155 slots will be available. Since an image is better than a long speech, here's what to expect depending on your console:Īs you can see above, Farming Simulator 19 on old-gen consoles had 1299 slots available. And we know that for FS 22, Giants Software has "optimized" its game, which should be less greedy, thus freeing up more "slots". On consoles, Sony and Microsoft impose restrictions on RAM management that developers must follow. On PC, the problem does not arise, and the only limitation is the power of your configuration. Remember, I told you about it in this video on our Youtube channel. Slots are a way for developers to manage system resources. This means that you can have even more vehicles, tools and other items on your farm. Whether you're playing on PlayStation 4 or PlayStation 5, Xbox One or Xbox Series S / X, all platforms benefit from a higher number of available slots. Good news for all those who play on consoles. "We have increased console slots by up to 300%" boasts Giants Software on the game's blog.
And all platforms are not in the same boat.
How many slots will they have for installing Farming Simulator 22 mods on the PS4, Xbox One, PS5 and Xbox Series S / X. This is information that console players are waiting for.
