Soon you discover strange and unusual setbacks. Your job is simply to keep the lights on until the transport ship Cyrano arrives bringing with it a new team to take over your duties. You are Shane Newehart, an engineer stationed at Trailblazer Alpha and your security clearance means you are completely unaware of the existence of the mysterious signal. In secret, the corporation began construction of Trailblazer Alpha, a state-of-the-art Mars research outpost designed to identify the true nature of the message. Orochi management immediately concluded that the discovery was too sensitive for public knowledge and moved to keep it hidden.

But this is of course time-limited as the gap between PC and console will grow fast.” “Porting to console would of course also be much smoother, as the current gen hardware is pretty slow, and getting closer to the PC hardware helps a lot. “This is probably a question for the Unreal engine developers, but for us it means that we can do more before the game gets CPU bound,” Moen said.

Suffice it to say, the PS5 and the Xbox Series X are on our minds right now- and that goes for developers working in the industry as well (probably most so than most of us in many cases). Even right now, with the consoles still months away, there’s plenty of buzz in the air, what with all these leaks about an imminent PS5 reveal event. As the clock ticks down toward the end of the year (even though the year’s only just started), anticipation and excitement surrounding the releases of next-gen consoles is going to grow on pretty much a daily basis.
