“I guess you could call it an expansion and an enhancement to the previous game,â he says, explaining that the expansion element of the game would be the introduction of Miles Morales. He explains how the rest of the game has been given major enhancements, “but also within the game as well there have been major enhancements to the game and the game engine, obviously deploying some of the major PlayStation 5 technology and features.â Some of the features revealed for the PS5 were reiterated during the stream last night, such as 3D audio, ray tracing, and more.
When Rutter was asked if familiarity was an important part of transitioning an installed user base from old machines to new, his response was, “I think what is very interesting for everyone to see is how familiar games might be to some degree changed through the workings of PlayStation 5.â
