To be clear Xbox's is also faster than anything out there. But PS5's is 2x that even so playstations is crazy

It's really entertaining in a way, two great consoles with loads of possibilities going forward.
Miserable grumpy gamers.
30% approximate gaps i guess? From people that likely have never pushed near the peak themselves cuz there arent any next gen games even out yet
Real world gaps once these are out in the wild and running games are going to be negligable mark my fucking words
It's not only much much faster. It offers innovative features for data management as well. It's a whole new thing, not just extremely fast.
Yes to all this. In the middle on a pandemic people still like to go inside topics they don't care about to shit on everyone else's happiness.
It's quite unbelievable. There's literally no time or space to celebrate or be positive about anything in here lately.
this is a terrible take. lol. this is like saying the switch holds everybody back.
Many developers clearly feel the opposite. Hmmm who to believe 🤔
Not sure how you took that out of his post. Third party titles will perform better on the XSX as it's the clear cut more powerful console. PS5 SSD advantages will require specialization that likely we'll only see from first party developers.
It's not to say it's a budget machine if one wants to play multiplatform games on the stronger hardware.
Yea this. It isnt going to be a 1440p/4k difference there both going to hit that resolution. It could be a difference between very high and ultra like on PC and as some PC players know, sometimes it's hardly noticeable.
Read the entire Twitter thread by Andrew Maximov. It's real.

I'm with you. Complete disrespect from OP.
Side note: that Randy Pitchford tweet is hilarious because he literally said the same thing, word for word, about Series X
I wonder how both compression efforts compare to each other. On the one hand we have Kraken from RAD, on the other hand Microsoft with zlib and BCPack.
Edit: according tohttp://www.radgametools.com/oodlekraken.htm:
"Kraken blows that away, with decode speed 3-5× faster than zlib, and 10-30× faster than LZMA. It's just much faster than anything else at its compression level." but both do it in an asic anyway in realtime I guess so it comes down to compression efficiency I guess.

It's fucking pathetic honestly. I read that first page and thought I was on gamefaqs.

He's part of the dev team and the industry. That's what matters.
Misread, I thought you were talking about both SSDs not having much benefits.
It's not even console warrior stuff.
I mean, I'm not saying the PS5 is a slouch. It isn't at all. But OF COURSE Sony's first party devs are going to be praising the new Playstation hardware. Do we really think we were gonna have Neil Druckmann on Twitter going off about how much the PS5 sucks?
It just makes threads like this feel a little silly.
that's... somewhat stupid. It's also a TLOU promotional screen, not an in-game one. Is he implying devs won't optimize detail in game according to what the player sees?
It seems the less barbaric sequel of the Polygon Mario Kart pie chart.
I don't see how a Sony dev's opinion is less valuable. They are stuck with the PS5, it's the only platform they can develop for for the next 6 years or so. If they weren't happy about it, they'd stay silent.
The images are just there to illustrate the different games. The curves are there to demonstrate the level of detail in relation to the distance between player and object. It is simply showing that despite being on the same hardware, data management allowed devs to present higher visual fidelity (hence TLOU's curve starts much closer to the top) closer to the player and a more optimized, reduced fidelity on objects further away.

Regarding this technical aspect of both consoles (SSDs): doesn't that potentially mean that either the Xbox Series X's slower storage will hold back the game designs of AAA multiplats or that it will have issues reaching the technical vision devs had in mind when developing this compared to the PS5?
Genuine question.
Solely talking about the storage solution here! I'm fully aware that the Series X has its own strenghts as well.

Yea but even first party still have to develop for the lowest common denominator that is the Lockhart, so all advantages are automatically negated. Am I rite guys?!
It's just bullshit by console warriors to push things their way, happened last gen and will happen this gen too. Funny to see it again. :D
PS5 TF compares to XBX TF that compares to potato TF that compares to whatever. It is a measurement for amount of floating point operations a piece of hardware can do.
The actual performance of the entire console is a different story. :)
The poll on this forum right now is close to 20% still using HDD. Also I wasn't referring to HDDs but standard SSDs which have a read/write speed of 500-600 MB/s. That would be the new standard speeds that third party would develop for unless you think Capcom, Namco, Rockstar, From Software, Square Enix, CD Projekt Red, etc are going to suddenly abandon the PC market.
They were referencing comparing it to the PS4. You can compare the PS5 and XSX.
Some to just trying to start shit in here it obvious with posts like these.
We never had a technical presentation of power of the cloud.
Why people who doesn't have any knowledge in games dev or devs in general "think" or "have feeling that".
For those people, if you are in quarantine and don't know what to do, do some research.
Nope. Lockhart isn't even real right now, but if rumors are correct, it will be a 1080p console which means it won't hold development back one iota.

I think people are confused by the community manager description, i don't think it was a deliberate insult.
