Why will Saints Row be generational Cross?

When we talk about new generation games, it is also very common to point out that some titles have versions of last generation. Although we usually see this decision as something related to the scope of a franchise and its ability to generate more money, we must not forget that this also has repercussions on a development. In this way, we recently talked to Brian Trafficker, creative director of the reboot of Saints Row _, To discover how to launch this title on PS4, Xbox One, PS5 and Xbox Series X | s affected the development .

Although there is still just over a month for the arrival of the reboot of saints Row, we recently had the opportunity totravel to Las Vegas to try this expected title *. It was here that the opportunity to talk with a trafficker was presented about how the development of the game was carried out for two generations. This was what he told us:

Being Cross Gen meant a couple of things. To begin, we did not give any more emphasis to any of the generations. Saint Row is a memory game, he needs as much memory as possible to load the characters, streets, the world, everything you see. So we were very aware that the separation between eighth and ninth generation was not so great for cooperative game, and players in general.

Our limitation is right at the midpoint. How much can we boost the eighth generation of a technical way, and what can we sacrifice in the novena. The new one will have better rendering features and other elegant details, such as Ray Tracing. I think we find a great point.

Considering that we have also seen ports of great games to the Nintendo Switch, either native or with cloud versions, We did not miss the opportunity to ask about the possibility of having saints row in the hybrid console , and this was What trafficker tells us:

We still don't have information about a switch version, but those are decisions that I don't do. I love the switch, it is one of my favorite consoles.

Although it seems that there is no information about a switch version, PS4 and Xbox One users should not worry about the saints row version that will come to them , which are good news for those who do not yet give The generational jump.

Saints Row_ will arrive in PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X | S and PC on August 23, 2022 . On related issues, here you can check our hands-on this game. Similarly, Trafficker tells us why a reboot and a traditional sequel were chosen.

Editor's note:

Although little by little we are seeing more exclusive games of the new generation, it is true that the generation transition on this occasion has been slower, and part of this is due to the pandemic. Fortunately, PS4 and PS5 games are less and less.
