This look so much as a saving face comment.

It doesn't occur on photo modo because it is static, it doesn't occur in 60fps mode because it is a different mode. Sure they wil patch and improve (and we will need to see if it doesn't impact anywhere else), still doesn't really look like a bug. Bugs usually don't affect 100% users in a whole mode 100% the time. That is a choice (can be a poor one) or a grave mistake (that doesn't make sense no one in their QC, MS and etc wouldn't see even more because it seems it was exactly like that couple months ago on the preview).

This sounds like a whole lotta cope. It's pretty clear here than once its patched up these differences will be in MS's favour. That and of course getting more familiar with the tools. And before you argue against that: How many years did we spend arguing about untapped power of the Cell™.

What is a lot to cope?

The game on the other modes run better on PS5, and on 120fps PS5 have a section that runs at 90fps with the rest sticking to 120 with better assets (on Xbox it is close to 120fps most of time, but still had drops to as low as 96 with a lot of tearing while using much lower assets). And we have been accepting and even expecting Xbox versions to do considerably better than PS5. And let's not forget that it isn't the only game or dev that have better performance on PS5.

I would say it is a lot to coupe for you that probably was touting the MS marketing of most powerful console ever and now when it is showtime missed, as they also missed in all their presentations this year.

So a lot of devs that have spoken publicly are lying and we are supposed to believe in the ones that are annonymous?

C'mon Don.

These two comments together don't look good.

Also there can be bugs like this which affect 100% of users, and given the current climate I'm not really surprised some stuff has been missed; rushing for launch, launching a console during a pandemic, rushed tools, etc.

Either way it'll be fixed.

How come they don't look good? Lying and saving face aren't the same thing. Just like past week one game that was on very bad shape was released and the dev apologized and said it doesn't meet their quality standard, but kinda phrased in a way that they released anyway because they had a timeframe. Say one bug that show for 100% of the players 100% of the time for 100% everything in a mode other than this one.

Again I believe him when he say they will patch and improve the game. But I don't believe for a second it is a bug, and he didn't say it is a bug, he said it doesn't happen in 60fps or photomode.
