This crap you saw everywhere on YT 5 years ago. Then idiots saying Nintendo games should look like that. You can find hundreds of these. They would pop up every month in gaming blogs as well as "dur look how good Mario/Zelda could look durr"

There are a million Zelda ones and ALWAYS ALLLWAYS Ocarina of Time. They plop child link in UE4 assets and it looks like shit because aesthetically the character does not go well with everything else. There was one of those OoT ones where people praised it even tho when Link walked the camera bounced up and down for a first-person game. Then you have ones too faithful to the N64 game in UE4 and it shows that N64 geometry does not look good anymore even with shiny UE4 paint.

Understood, thanks for sharing.

I do liked a lot the "fan remake" of the FF IX, but they were trying realism at that game which isn't what Nintendo is trying with Mario so far, so it is odd to do this type of project.

When the Playstation 3 launched with it's Geforce 7 GPU, the PC already had the Geforce 8 GPU with it's full unified shader setup and direct x 10 hardware feature set.

When the Xbox 360 launched in November 2005 the PC had the Radeon X1950 XTX  which was a step up. (Not to mention you could run two of them at the same time.)

PC was always ahead technologically than the consoles on the GPU front.

On the memory side 2-4GB of Ram was pretty common for PC's, ironically roughly the same level as the Switch 15 years later.
 
The CPU side things get a little more difficult, but the Athlon 64 X2 @ 3Ghz was fairly common when the Xbox 360 launched and the superior Core 2 processors were only 6 months away.

Those CPU's would have been superior options over the Xbox 360 CPU.

The Playstation 3 the CPU side of the equation is a little more difficult, the PS3 was pretty good at iterative refinement floating point math, but the Core 2 Quad Extreme was able to punch it's weight. (And I still have one of those chips funnily enough!)
Still use it to run 8th gen games. OC of course.

PC you can take four Phison E16 SSD's in RAID 0 and get about 15GB/s.

I'm not sure pcie upgrades every year. Could be wrong.

Why is why I laugh every time someone says the PS5 SSD is superior to anything the PC has.

Correct it doesn't. PCI-E 3.0 was unusually long in it's life cycle though.

PCI-E 5.0 is probably not that far away... And that will probably offer 128GB/s of bandwidth... For SSD's that typically top out at 4x PCI-E lanes that would be 32GB/s.

The PS5 solution isn't a multi SSD setup, unlike the one you speak of. So I continue to question why you hardly ever give props to console makers/hardware when compared to PC.

Comparing a demo to actual game reveals.... okay.

That demo is playable.

EPIC said so.

Yeah, we can, but I'm gonna buy three. One for me, one for my daughter and one for my son. All of them PS5. I was hoping to buy one, but my both lovely offsprings already wrote their letters to Santa. Uff.

Well, every PS5 has this insanely fast SSD. What percentage of PC gamers have multi SSDs in raid?
