“PlayStation 5 will face great difficulties”: Former Sony employee attributed words about console issues

Specifications Xbox Series X and Playstation 5 It has long been discovered, but heated debates about the power of the two systems do not even think of subsiding. Since the presentation of the PlayStation 5 from Mark Zerni some industry executives hastened to assure the public that Sony’s new console is much more productive than dry numbers might seem. It is currently not possible to personally verify the reliability of these words, and all that remains is to listen to sources that have a slightly greater idea of ​​the hardware of the new generation than ordinary players.

One of the critically acclaimed capacities Playstation 5 previously became Chris Grennellformer employee Sonyworking on Killzone 2 and Wipeout. Last month he already made statements about the race of the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5, where he assured that the difference between the two gaming systems is really significant, and not in favor of Sony.

Today, Grennell’s name flashed through the net again. Edition This Gen Gaming reported that the developer took part in the RDX podcast, where he again touched on the topic of upcoming consoles, reiterating confidence in the superiority of the solution from Microsoft.

The site noted that the developer has access to the PlayStation 5 devkit and cited two quotes:

“The biggest difference is the number of processor cores (36 on the PS5 and 52 on the Xbox Series X). And when it comes to technologies such as ray tracing, this difference begins to play a huge role. PlayStation 5 is likely to encounter great difficulties in large-scale expensive open world games. “

“In the future, we are waiting for only one next-generation console, which will be able to demonstrate ray tracing in real time. I understand that this is a loud statement. But [на презентации PlayStation 5] Zerny did not go into this issue in detail, and simply missed it. Everything rests on processor cores, stability of work and power of iron. ”

Information was reprinted by different sites, but in the end it turned out that Grennell didn’t say anything like that – they attributed these words to him. He stated this on his Twitter account.

“I’m sure I didn’t say anything like that,” said a former Sony employee, posting a link to This Gen Gaming news.

“If today’s consoles do a good job with open world games, the PlayStation 5 should not have any problems,” he assured.

Answering a direct question about whether he has access to the devkit, Grennell replied in the negative. Devkit PlayStation 5 he does not have.
