We don’t have a release date yet because the plan was to release it later in 2020 on consoles and then COVID happened. Either way, it’s coming, so your point is, per usual, incorrect and ultimately irrelevant anyway.

You don’t have a point here. You’re trying to say a tech demo was made tailoring specifically to the strengths of the PS5 yet a laptop ran it better. The tech demo was a scaling resolution with a max of 1440p and a fluctuating frame rate sometimes stable at 30 because Epic loaded it up with tons of super detailed content in it. Super detailed content that would apparently require hundreds of gigs of data for a real game according to Epic themselves. It isn’t a demo designed specifically for PS5, it’s a tech demo for UE5 which will run on every platform around. 

Also what is this Xbox conference you speak of? They have had an Inside Xbox stream... conferences were all canceled. Are you confused again? 

Personally I would hope that a next gen tech demo beats cross gen content otherwise that would be a massive failure on the part of the company making the tech demo. After all that is the point of tech demos.

Nobody is saying anything about pc. Of course pc will always be superior and the UE5 demo will probably run on a RTX2070 super with a NVME SSD. My point is that those are still pretty steep requirements, while nothing MS has shown is going to require anything near those kind of specs to run a game at 30fps and a scaling resolution of 1440p. This is what Sweeney said.

"Sweeney isn’t saying that you can’t get a comparable M.2 drive for your PC, even now if you want to shell out for it. Rather, he’s saying the custom drive Sony created and the way it interacts with the overall PS5 data management system makes it faster and more impressive from a development standpoint that anything a consumer could readily buy today, especially considering PC developers aren’t yet building games that take advantage of such speeds. That may change in the future when both new consoles arrive and, as Sweeney predicts, inspire significant upgrades to PC component design and PC-specific game development.

Sweeney isn’t taking Sony’s word for it, either. He and the engineers at Epic are using the console themselves. Sweeney says the two companies have been working closely together during the development of UE5 and the PS5, ensuring that Epic’s game development tool sets for developers creating next-gen titles is optimized for the hardware that software will ultimately run on.

As for Microsoft’s Xbox Series X, Sweeney isn’t saying the new Xbox won’t be able to achieve something similar; both are using custom SSDs that promise blazing speeds. But he says Epic’s strong relationship with Sony means the company is working more closely with the PlayStation creator than it does with Microsoft on this specific area."

We both know which MS conference I'm talking about. Fact is MS seemed to be doing a pretty good job marketing Series X. They showed the box early, the specs are great and they've been pretty open about their strategy BC /Smart delivery strategy. They said Series X would do 4k/60fps or even 120fps, and everybody got excited. It all sounded great on paper until they did their "first look at games running on Series X" stream. Now it's finally starting to sink in what the "most compatible console" and aiming for native 4k and 60fps actually means. People were disappointed and we were seeing articles on how we should lower our expectations for next gen games. That was until Sony dropped that UE5 tech demo running in 30fps and finally showed something truly next gen to get excited about. 

Again, my point is that MS isn't going to have games that require a $700 gpu to run at 1440p and 30fps. At that resolution and framerate you can probably play all their exclusives with something like a $150 GTX1060. And until Series X like hardware becomes main stream on pc, we'll likely not be seeing games from them that require a beefy gpu and SSD. Sony is doing it the old fashioned way and doing a complete reset. Even if their 1st party games would get a pc release, they would likely require at least a RTX2070 and a NVME SSD just to run at 30fps.

This is why Sony has managed to only show a controller and a tech demo and still got people more excited about next gen than all the info and stuff MS's been showing for months now. Just imagine what'll happen when Sony shows off actual ps5 exclusive games like the rumored HZD2, looking like the UE5 tech demo, and MS does another "optimized for Series X" stream in July.

Why are you regurgitating Sweeney marketing talk as if it’s relevant to anything you’re saying here lol. I don’t care about Epics latest pre-gen marketing splooge with Sony, they’ve done it the last three gens now and it’s always nonsense. All of that you copied and pasted here and the tech demo runs better on a laptop. 

Also no, I not anyone else knows what conference you’re referring to. Are you talking about the Inside Xbox video? That isn’t a conference. Would you call the Cerny tech talk PS5 video a conference? Pretty sure you wouldn’t because it makes no sense. Then again not making any sense kind of seems like your schtick. Is this some bit that we are not in on? Feel free to PM me.
