Metro Exodus studio clearly used Direct X12 Ultimate, they stated it. They didn't complain about the dev kit at all. So don't think your excuse has any merit.A minority of devs complaining with early dev kits that don't utilize the full features of the device isn't news worthy. The 30 fps cap is with raytracing enabled without it we are already seeing 60 fps performance. You probably don't know this but raytracing is expensive performance wise. Compromises have to be made to enable it. If you say the PS5 DE at $299 is a better deal than the XSS at $299 I agree with you.
They actually complained about the XSS physical limitations, which will be more detrimental going forward into the generation. Their words.
They are in a good position to assess the situation since they are the experts. Not you or me.
That's not getting into the numerous ID Software guys twitter rants. Which were much more scathing.
On the other hand the PS5DE isnt concerning any developers. So disagree with you there on the value for money. It does what a next gen console should do.
