Braid mastermind Jonathan Blow has said he’s eager to get his mitts on the next-generation of consoles, noting PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 are already showing their age in terms of tech specifications.
Speaking during a chinwag with Edge, Blow indicated it is unlikely his forthcoming project The Witness will make the transition to current home consoles due to RAM limitations.
"We like 360 and PS3, but their specifications are over five years old now, and that’s a lot in computer years," said Blow. "The kind of tricks we’d have to perform to get this game working on those platforms are such a lot of work that to port it over at this point is just not worth it for us.”
"For this type of game, I do wish the new generation of consoles had come out by now. Even if it only meant a slightly faster graphics processor and a lot more RAM.”
"Having more memory would make a huge difference to being able to bring a game like [The Witness] to a console," he continued. "It makes it much easier."
