They are just showing the PS5 then so that we know it can run on the lowest common denominatorAnd the demo couldnt even do 4K 60FPS+ lol

That's the problem right there. It is those using and/or have direct access to the hardware that are saying this, not those outside of it. While you are on the outside looking in, with no access of any kind to that hardware, or even a programmer using that hardware, to tell them that what they are saying or seeing is wrong. What qualifications do you have aside from your own personal PC, which these consoles are obviously not, puts you in a position to refute this?I'm not the one out there saying how the PS5 SSD and only the PS5 SSD will revolutionize game design. The next gen consoles' SSDs are awesome. They'll eviscerate most loading times (though I'm finding that No Man's Sky, for example, takes a crapton of time to load even on PC with an SSD that's comfortably in the 4GB/sec sequential reads, which just illustrates that there's more to load times even than just I/O speed.

[edit: That's the bench on my OS disk. I have an identical SSD for the games and programs drive. It benched slightly higher just now but the numbers probably shift from run to run. Point being that some games' loading time isn't just down to mechanical drives).
The simple fact is I love that they're both using great SSDs. Sony's being faster is great for their loading times. But all this puffery about how it and only it can allow completely new game designs that couldn't be replicated on the XSX is just that - puffing without taking a chance to pass. Take the win that it'll load games faster and make fast travel better and be done with it.

A lot of these developers are bound by NDA, so there is only so much they can say right now. So instead of assuming what you think you know, just wait it out.
Dude, a ton of the quotes (maybe even the majority) I've seen were developer reactions. Lots of "will be', "expect", and "should". The UE 5 one is one of the only real concrete quotes I've seen. Beyond that, I haven't seen any that actually compare the two because, believe it or not, one dev is unlikely to work on both systems. They'll be on the xbox or the playstation dev teams.That's the problem right there. It is those using and/or have direct access to the hardware that are saying this, not those outside of it.

I see a LOT of positive dev comments about PS5 being extrapolated as being in comparison the Series X.
Did any one of them also have access to the XSX and say that it didn't work there? No. Good night now.
They are 3rd party, of course they did, and if they didn't they had access to those that did. It's very simple, really. I believe i quoted one of them, in fact.
And the demo couldnt even do 4K 60FPS+ lol
Theres no devs with access to both who've stated a detailed breakdown of the capabilities of both because if they did, they'd be breaking NDA. The only devs who've publicly expressed opinions comparing the 2 in any meaningful way did so at a distance. If they're allowed to speak on details comparing both it means they didn't sign NDAs which means they don't have both dev kits.
Is Epic not 3rd party?
You do know that you can say that the platform is revolutionary, without saying the other is bad, right? A number of developers mentioned this in regards to Sony's architecture. One insider, not sure of his affiliation but quite trusted, goes on to compare what he was told of the two designs, NOT their ultimate capabilities, if you will, on how different they were. So again, this is coming from the inside. There are people here looking from the outside and assuming what is on the inside and basing a verdict around that.
I think the people using these machines or have some kind of access to them are very capable of knowing what it is they are actually looking at to justify their response. But, I guess that is a very sensitive subject amongst some individuals around here as it can create an uncertain outlook on things.
Link with Epic saying it couldn't be done?And the demo couldnt even do 4K 60FPS+ lol

I say it can cause I have seen better running on less.
Lets add 4k while we are at it.Playing devils advocate here:
You can also say that if it could have it would have run at 60fps.
Sports games in general have just gone off the deep end with microtransactions. People won't put up with pay to win in FPS games, but it has been in sports games for ages and seems to be the norm. NBA 2k is supposedly even worse than the EA games, which is hard to imagine.
I would think the price is mitigated by not needing to package and mark up for retailI can see games needing to go up in base price by $10 but when they do that AND have microtransactions etc that's too much. The whole reason I'm ok with the prices going up is to get rid of reliance on microtransactions but it seems like that won't be the case.
