Amata also cites ' ray tracing ' as the feature that has benefited most from developing games on the Xbox Series X. Amata said it was a 'big effort' to introduce ray tracing to Maneater, and we are proud that ray tracing has made it possible to make the waters of the Maneater world look even more realistic.

In addition, Amata commented on the development for the Xbox Series X: 'It's very exciting to be able to achieve ray tracing and 60fps that wasn't possible with existing game consoles. Fortunately, existing development tools and pipelines are new hardware. Being compatible with (Xbox Series X), moving to Xbox Series X development was a relatively seamless experience, allowing games to run very quickly and natively on new hardware. I will. '

In addition, Maneater supports the new feature 'Smart Delivery' that appeared in Xbox Series X. Smart Delivery will allow games purchased on Xbox One to be played on Xbox Series X at no additional cost. Amata described Smart Delivery as 'a great feature that prioritizes players in a way that wasn't available in previous generations,' and said that Maneater fans could be extended to next-generation consoles.

In addition, due to the improved performance of the Xbox Series X as hardware, 'I could not implement it with conventional hardware, and I had to sacrifice various ideas that weepingly. However, with Xbox Series X, it is a game machine. We're so excited that Tripwire Interactive's next title will be able to bring our vision entirely into the game, as we've pushed the boundaries of the game completely, ”says Amata.
