Yesterday network flew around console criticism series Playstation 5attributed Chris Grennellone of the former developers Sony. It soon became clear that the published information was untrue. Grennell said that the publication This Gen Gaming posted incorrect quotes, simultaneously confirming that he did not have access to the PlayStation 5 devkit.
However, the fact is that Grennell actually participated in the RDX podcast, where as an expert he talked about the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X from the height of his experience and taking into account information from other colleagues in the shop.
Portal Video Games Chronicle carefully read the podcast and gave the exact words of the developer about the next-generation gaming systems.
Firstly, Grennell, who previously worked on Killzone 2 and Wipeout, once again stated that, in his opinion, Sony’s iron solution is inferior to Microsoft’s alternative.
“The PlayStation 5 is a good console, very powerful, but from the iron point of view it is somewhat inferior to what Microsoft was able to assemble.”
Moreover, according to the developer, many other industry leaders now have a similar opinion..
“[Консенсус таков]that Microsoft’s console is just a monster when compared to Sony’s system. I believe that right now Sony is just resting on its laurels. She owns a huge market share, she occupies a leading position, and this, according to my sources, in a sense, has led to a repeat of the situation with the PlayStation 3. Everything is normal with iron, there are no problems there, it’s just that the management did not take too seriously Microsoft’s actions and competitor’s moves to focus on exceptional computing power. “
Microsoft has characterized the Xbox Series X as the “most powerful console” for months. In January, the company even announced the official slogan – “Power Your Dreams” (“Charge Your Dreams”).
When Chris Grennell was asked whether he believed that Microsoft took Sony by surprise, an industry veteran answered in the affirmative – yes, definitely.
“Microsoft, definitely, took Sony by surprise. There is no doubt that Microsoft worked very closely together with partners at AMD, working on all technological solutions. I understand that many of my statements may not be pleasant, but absolute confidence came from Microsoft and the Xbox team just take a look at Phil Spencer and his reaction to the PlayStation 5 presentation – he immediately realized that he was on the right track“continues Grennell.
The head of the Xbox itself Phil Spencer really said earlier that after Sony revealed to the world the exact specifications of the PlayStation 5, he was even more happy with the decisions made on the Xbox Series X.
Grennell later touched on the hot topic of ray tracing technology. According to him, those developers who already work with two consoles, note that in this regard there is also a significant difference between the Xbox Series X and the PlayStation 5.
“If you carefully analyze the bandwidth of the Xbox Series X and the potential associated with ray tracing, it becomes immediately clear why many developers are so impressed. First, look at the numbers, then at the possibility of rendering rays in real time, and immediately notice where Sony allowed miscalculation, “Chris Grenell develops his thought.
In turn, based on the presentation Mark ZerniSony focuses on its unique SSDoffering bandwidth nearly twice the alternative in the Xbox Series X.
Later in the podcast, Grennell avoided discussing the exclusively iron side of the issue and assured that PlayStation 5’s true potential will showcase games from Sony’s in-house studioswhich will no doubt take their place in the console library.
“It is projects from internal developers that will shine brighter than others, and they will be the first to demonstrate results, while third-party studios are just getting used to new technologies. You will find incredible games from Guerrilla Games, amazing adventures from Insomniac, in general, products from names you know.
All of these projects will be able to rely on PlayStation 5’s unique solutions, as developers will have access to Sony’s technical departments and specialists the situation will be similar to how we worked in the Cell processor during the PlayStation 3.
Therefore, yes, someone can immediately easily work with this console. But from what I heard, the general situation is not the most favorable so far, and there are reasons why [Sony] continues to remain silent, but we still haven’t seen the final version of the PlayStation 5 and other related things, ”concluded the former Sony developer.
The launch of the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X is scheduled for this year’s holiday season.
