Maybe the game manages to launch with 2 years of preproduction leading up to DS2 in 2025, and then MAYBE releases in 2028 as the ps5 swan song, after 3 years of development.
Or, maybe the ps5 justifies AAA support for a full ten years, and leaves a healthy window for Kojima. I know that’s well above how long a console gen typically lasts, but it took awhile before we saw games like Spider-Man 2 that legitimately looked like they needed a hardware upgrade.
The ps5 might be strong enough for devs for a lot longer, considering the cost of Spider-Man 2…. If VR takes off, then I’d understand the typical need for stronger hardware every 7 years, but those headsets aren’t flying off the shelves yet.
The ps5 might be enough for the life like graphics Kojima is aiming for.
