Is this a new Golden Age of gaming? It’s too soon to judge, says Resogun dev

It’s an exciting time for gamers, but not everyone agrees that we’re witnessing a new Golden Age, or period of great achievement, for the hobby.

Sony hosted a panel at last weekend’s PlayStation Experience event called “[Console] Generation 8 — A New Golden Age!” And while most developers on the panel agreed with the premise, Harry Kruger, the lead programmer on acclaimed PlayStation 4 shooter Resogun, stood apart. Kruger explained that we shouldn’t judge the current console generation as golden until it has the games to match.
