Just Cause developer Avalanche Studios co-founder Linus Blomberg has spoken openly about his optimism for Sony’s upcoming PlayStation 4, praising the hardware and saying it will “out-power most PCs for years to come.”
“It’s always very exciting with a new console cycle, for a number of reasons,” said Blomberg in an interview with GamingBolt. “The consoles desperately need a boost since having been overtaken in terms of performance by PCs several years ago, and also losing market share to mobile platforms.”
Speaking about Sony’s intentions for the PlayStation 4, Blomberg said the device “will not only be a very powerful gaming machine from a hardware perspective, but it will also be a social tool and integrated marketplace more akin to the successful mobile devices.”
“It’s the best of all worlds in a way; great performance for demanding high-end gaming, good social ecosystem and connectivity, and integrated business marketplace. For Avalanche Studios as an open-world games developer this is super exciting and opens up many new opportunities.”
