I don't know why anyone would assume there would be a big gap when a big gap simply does not exist on paper.

John (Digital Foundry) on PS5: ''Just talking to developers...I think people will be surprised in a good way about the PS5''

No, the difference is smaller - it's a 18% GPU gap this generation v. 42% last generation.

You spent over a year on the Xbox Era discord spreading FUD about PS5 being 9.2TF and weak as shit.
Yes it will be close. As many of us have being saying, PS5 has actually the edge in a few areas thanks to the 22% higher clocks, so it will depend of the games but I expect some games should run better on PS5. The only question is: how many will run better on PS5?
And after that teardown (insane cooling + 350W PSU) it's clear that those high clocks are meant to be sustained.

How convenient, lol.
Era: "Chad Warden lol"
Me:
Same. No idea what anyone is talking about.
So he said is he is hearing good things about ps5
What happened in here?
they're gonna be splitting hairs ASAP anyway

Maybe one gen...Ps3/360 were about as close as humanly imaginable.
Some people expecting a clear power difference between the consoles are going to be shook when PS5 wins some DF face-offs.
It's gonna be in that tiny 5% to 10% difference between console versions that DF will thrive in the next few years.

definitely not when it comes to multiplats for at least a good 2-3 years
Yeah, it was just an offhand quote about how much developers enjoy working with the PS5, same thing many developers have stated about the Series X. It wasn't to try and compare the two for any malicious purposes. Both consoles will be amazing, both will bring the biggest leaps in console performance that we've seen yet, and both are really sophisticated, well designed pieces of hardware.
That's why I ordered both. Best of both worlds :)!
You will get ' Lazy Devs ' any time a game doesn't perform perfectly or has an issue with either of the consoles.
I think folks forgot how big the spec difference really was at the beginning of last gen mainly because of how much it swung to Xbox during the mid-gen refresh.
You're using two different functions in your argument.
The PS4 GPU is 42% more powerful than the Xbox One.
But there was a 33% difference.
The XSX GPU is 20% more powerful than the PS5.
But there is an 18% difference.
Nah. Maybe on paper (I don't know), but PS3 being horrid to work with hurt multiplats on the platform throughout the whole gen.
Well, that's just the truth. You can enable more innovate gameplay experiences with a new controller and fast I/O than with a better GPU. But that difference will only show up in 1st party anyway.
I'm not even expecting that. I will have the 🍿 ready still.
I just not expecting a massive gulf in favor of the Series X.
I think they both will have their advantages show, and maybe they won't and it will be so close it's a wash.

Yeah I think we are definitely hitting diminishing returns on this stuff for the average consumer. I doubt there will be much of a discernible difference between the consoles to the laymen.Things will always get better for sure and more powerful. But in basic terms.
Also what does the refernce even mean though?
"it ain't that triple, but it'll do"

I like dynamic resolution and the new methods (dlss) but checkerboarding always look fuzzy to me. Rather devs just go dynamic and hope the next console revision boost it to stable 4k.
I have a hard time understanding why this would happen, no reason why it should.
Let's give Sony credit for the dualsense, it's a pretty hefty controller: haptics, motion sensors (gyro aiming is a must), addaptive triggers, a touchpad, speaker, microphone and 3.5mm out
I play most of my Steam games with Gyro on the steam controller, if a few PS5 titles get gyro support, that makes it my best option
Theres actually plenty of reasons why this could happen.
Take Crash 4 for example, while the framerate and visuals are pretty similar between them,the textures/shadows etc were based off the base versions. The base PS4 and base xbox one. Because of that, PS4 Pro has better quality shadows and more shadows despite the fact that the series x is more powerful, because the games are based on the base hardware. The xbox series s is weaker so this could happen here.
Or lead development being on PS5 since it will likely sell more.
Or the faster SSD leads to less issues with popup, which could exist on xbox series x due to higher texture detail.
Lots of factors could apply.
400% zoom slider gonna get a hell of a workout in the next 7 years
Off topic, but wish these guys had a podcast where they talked general console and PC tech. They're just offering something other people are not right now. (Or at least, not talking intelligently about.)
Lmao mans gone fully Chad Warden this gen and I'm all for it."it ain't that triple, but it'll do"
Coward! You must pick a side in the console wars of 2020!
Kidding, you know I'mma get that XSX once a big bethesda joint drops.
An offhand vague one sentence remark with no context or info to go on? There's no way didn't have the Era logo in his head when he said that.
Both of these consoles will be beasts and are much better tech for a great price compared to 2013. I know we'll have tons of comparisons but these things just tire me out when the real news here should be: This will likely be an awesome generation coming up from all hardware manufacturers.
