DF: All Developers Extremely Happy With PS5 Development But Not All Are Happy With XSX Development

This is asking for fan wars, it says some are happy, some aren't for XSX development, so honestly the title is misleading.

That Dusk Golem is some bullshitter. Everything he said was basically proven false.... Silent Hill, PS5 price and now the whole notion of Xbox being easier to develop for.
I have no idea is Dusk golem is reliable or an insider or what. However, if you're going to attack someone at least attack them for what they actually said, not what you think they said.

1) Exclusive Silent Hill reboot in development for PS5.
Who knows, but is this really so hard to believe?

2) RE8 is running better on Series X than PS5.
Who knows? It seems to be about power though, nothing about Xbox being easier to develop for, in fact he said "PS5 is easier to develop for overall".

3) PS5 build cost is $600
Who knows? It could be that Sony are eating $100 on each unit. Do you know the confirmed build price?

Like I said, I have no idea if this guy is legit or not but I don't see anything in his claims that you've proven to be 'bullshit'.
 
People said the same thing about the Xbox One.
People said that about the original Xbox. They have been praying for MS to exit the console business from the start. Weird stance to take for gamers.

If the development studios are having trouble coding for the XSX they should contact MS to get some dev support. I'm sure MS has a team to help devs that are struggling. I'm really expecting the multi-platform games to look better on PS5 since it is so much easier to develop for.

The Series X isn’t difficult to work with though. Article states that some devs aren’t as happy as others. Most seem pleased with it. It is still the more powerful console.

I don't care if you like Sony. What I care about is when people like John Linneman get bullied off the forum by Sony stans buying into conspiracy theories.
Dude you can’t say a Forum in which calling an action packed, combat heavy traversal based free roam game “movie” will get you tons of likes, and nonsense like this happening multiple times daily, “Forum full of Sony fanboys”. You just can’t.
Sure, there are 2 or 3 unobjective Sony fanboys, but the overwhelming majority of Sony fans here are just multiplatform people loving well made video games balancing the nonsense spread by real fanboys. And who would have thought in a supposedly enthusiast videogames Forum.

OK... Mr Golem!

It is the literal definition of anecdotal evidence.
"Anecdotal evidence is evidence from anecdotes: evidence collected in a casual or informal manner and relying heavily or entirely on personal testimony"

I'm not sure, where are you going to get a non-anectdotal evidence on heavily NDA-ed dev environments?

Was gonna make a Dusk Goldem joke someone already has.

People have been doubting the real SONY saviors... Mark Cerny... this guy literally saved SONY after Krazy Ken got the boot.


Imagine Ken developing CELL 2 and bankrupting SONY
Just need to give Jim Ryan the boot too.
 

THE DUCK

voted poster of the decade by bots
Well ya, cus Cerny said it, it must be true.
In reality, this thread is kind of pointless. These are modern day development kits from billion dollar tech corporations, on almost identical same generation hardware from even the same vendor.
Sony isn't "killing it", its simply competive.

The lack of info means there are no conclusions to be drawn, not that you should accept claims based on bad info.

Life is unfair and there are a lot of times when you need to draw conclusions on pretty partial data. Sorry.
In the case of consoles none of the data will be ever conclusive. That's how it is.

Dang... Sony hit it out of the park with the PS5. Perfect price/performance ratio, ease of development, plus a lot of exclusive games coming soon.
Demon’s Souls, R&C and?
GoW is not going to be relesed for a while and the other titles will be available on PS4 as well.
Just curious if i missed something, because as far as i’m aware there’s not “a lot of exclusives” on PS5 at the moment nor in the near future.

You are literally saying it's better to guess rather than wait for facts. Don't be sorry for me. I hope you don't use that logic in other areas of your life.

If the point of this thread is to try to determine which console is going to have some sort of advantage.... What value does a guess have?

Man that generic SDK sounds like a massive set backwards for taking advantage of a closed environment. Probably explains why we see no XsX footage.

Prediction: PS5 titles will punch above their weight as is customary for console, XsX below. Would be ironic if PS5 outperforms XsX on a consistent basis.

Those rumours about RE8 being non performant on PS5 are potentially related to XsX instead

Everything will be clear in a couple months when we get to see the comparison videos of 3rd party games. Enough second guessing that leads to nothing.

Its entirely possible. Makes me wonder if some studios will be making PS5 their main development platform, and port to XsX.

There won't be any facts.
Those who know cannot say, and those who say don't know shit.
That's how it is.
You need to rely on educated guessing.

Then MS will get pissy and make some more mandates and throw more cash at developers.

Now the crazy conspiracies start.

Not crystal clear. MS and Sony will improve the development software as the years go. You will need to look at how the exclusives look to see how far they can optimize them at the time. We will see games in 5 years that will blow away most releases in the next couple years.

Godfall and Returnal as well (Godfall is going to PC, so just console exclusive on that one). Destruction All Stars also, and Astro's Playroom, if you count that. Deathloop is a timed console exclusive to PS5. Ghostwire: Tokyo is console exclusive to PS5. Then there are others further out -- e.g., Project Athia, FFXVI, possibly GT7. We don't know about Ragnarok yet. I'm guessing it's cross-gen, but that's just a guess.

The ones who aren't pleased are probably the same ones that give us bad pc ports..
They will learn, and as a PC player I will profit :messenger_savoring:

Thanks, not interested in any of these but nice to know they’re there.

Posters theories after the article:
1. MS will pay devs to get games on par with PS5.
2. PS5 will be lead platform and consistently have better 3rd party titles.
3. Devs will have difficulties using the Series X’s 12 tflops.
4. This is the reason why games haven’t been shown running on Series X.
5. Poster believes the RE rumor bs is real and referring to the Series X.

All this after an article that said most devs (which implies 80-90%) are happy with the ease of development on Series X. PS5 seems to be easier.

One thing Sony did with PS1 was make a great development environment including tools, documentation and support. This was in stark contrast to the poor job Sega and Nintendo has historically provided. The Saturn was an absolute mess. From my understanding Sony knocked it out of the park with PS4 as well. So to me it's not a surprise. Microsoft may not be as streamlined due to trying to cover PC development and several generations of hardware, or they didn't give it the attention it deserved. But this is one thing that has always been important to Sony.

Huh? MS emphasizing Series X development 12-24 months from now in order to highlight its power advantage is a crazy conspiracy?

Yeah, I guess that’s real C-R-R-RAZY!

Oh, I see now. Your Xbox feelings have been hurt.
