There's a difference between not possible without Sony's breakthroughs and this isn't possible on any other device.
Games will tell, just one more week for Sony, and 5-6 weeks for Microsoft to show us what they got.
That paragraph doesn’t say what you think it does.
Again quote the sentence that says that the demo can’t be run on series x. IIf it can’t be done on series x why not just say that?
Edit: To clarify. The only thing that sentence says is this demo would not be able to run on ps5 devkit without breakthroughs Sony has made right.
It says nothing about how it would run on series x. People act like Microsoft just threw in an ssd an called it a day. They have custom hardware as well(and no I’m not saying the Xbox ssd is as fast as ps5).
Maybe you are totally correct and it wouldn’t be possible. But let’s wait for actual confirmation and not make huge assumptions. It wasn’t too long ago a lot of people thought ps5 was over 13 TF.
Twist the words however you want the full quote is :
“[The PS5] puts a vast amount of flash memory very, very close to the processor,” says Sweeney. “So much that it really fundamentally changes the trade-offs that games can make and stream in. And that’s absolutely critical to this kind of demo,” Sweeney explained.
“This is not just a whole lot of polygons and memory. It’s also a lot of polygons being loaded every frame as you walk around through the environment and this sort of detail you don’t see in the world would absolutely not be possible at any scale without these breakthroughs that Sony’s made.”
So you guys read that and think "Man this mean Xbox series will do the same or better"?
Sometimes you just need to accept the fact that Xbox has the better GPU and Sony the better IO system.
Ans since this demo tailored for ps5 put a lot of emphasize on streaming ps5 has an edge.
If tomorrow Epic creates a demo tailored to Xbox series X it will probably emphasize on GPU and xbox will have the edge it is really that simple.
