Next generation hardware is a topic on many of our minds as of late, with the PS5 and Project Scarlett on the horizon from Sony and Microsoft, respectively. It?s easy to want to gobble up any semblance of information that appears, since excitement is high for most of us. But the head of Platinum Games, Atsushi Inaba does not share the same enthusiasm.
During a talk the Video Game Championships (VGC) at E3 2019, Inaba had a lot to say about the landscape of the next generation. He noted that the hardware is made up of ?stuff that? already exists.? He also said the following in reference to the platform holders? plan:

PB = PB || {};
PB.gptStandAlone = PB.gptStandAlone || {};
PB.gptAutoRefresh = PB.gptAutoRefresh || {'gptAds':[], 'gptStandAlone':[]}; admiralCookie = readAdmiralCookie();

googletag.cmd.push(function() {
var standAloneSizeMapping = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([0, 0], []).addSize([750, 0], [[300, 250]]).addSize([980, 0], [[300, 250]]).build(); PB.gptStandAlone['ros_300x250_p_slot4_1560952937'] = googletag.defineSlot('/4403/cr/playstationlifestyle/ros', [[300, 250]], 'ros_300x250_p_slot4_1560952937')
.defineSizeMapping(standAloneSizeMapping) .addService(googletag.pubads())
.setTargeting('pos', 'P').setTargeting('content_detail', '0').setTargeting('kw', 'in-article').setTargeting('coppa', '0').setTargeting('site', 'playstationlifestyle');
googletag.enableServices();
