God of War Director Hypes Up SSD Capabilities of the PS5

With the PlayStation 5 set to come out later this year, Sony has been very careful and intricate when it comes to making reveals for their console. While we don’t know everything about the PS5 yet, God of War director Cory Barlog is hyping up the next-gen console, especially when it comes to the system’s SSD.

Talking to Animal Talking (via Video Game Chronicle) Barlog explains:

It’s pretty exciting actually, there’s a lot of stuff that we’ve been messing around with and seeing, especially for me the SSD is just amazing.

I’m impatient and I don’t like any kind of load times. We’ve gone to great lengths in this series, like all the way back to the PS2, of trying to hide any kind of loading so that you never really feel like you’re having that artificial layer of the game break you out of it – we let the menus do that and all the upgrading and stuff.

Probably one of the biggest features of the PS5 is the promise of no loading times, and an SSD processor is definitely going to be a huge factor in making that feature a reality.

No release date or price point has been set for the PS5 yet, but the console is expected to come out this holiday season.
