Epic showcased their multiplatform engine. There's nothing else to it. There's not much content to work with so I get why a 'console war' meal is being made out of it.
Reality awaits when Digital Foundry do technical analysis of UE5 games.
Games that will run on retail Next-Gen hardware in a consumer's environment.
both of which were still mediocre launch games even though they were exclusive to current gen. Mediocre doesn't mean it wasn't enjoyable. But they were no where near comparable to the games we got 2-3 years later into the lifecycle of current gen.
launch titles will never be a representation of the best 'next-gen' has to offer. #
devs need time ( years ) to adapt to a new generation for various reasons.
And this is how the hyperbole begins as soon as a game is tagged as 'exclusive'.
There's nothing I saw in there that didn't feel like I've done before. What new life did it breathe? lol. I was initially on board but after seeing more gameplay, I'll take my time to get to it.
I could get it on sale. It just doesn't give me that urgency to go out and get it day one.
"“Systems integration and whole-system performance. Bringing in data from high-bandwidth storage into video memory in its native format with hardware decompression is very efficient.“
Hmm why does this read so familiar? Ah yes, something the Series X also does.
So yes, dollar dollar bills y'all.

With existing hardware, the PC would have show cased ray tracing, native 4k 60+ frames, all the bells and whistles. Including NVMe SSD quick asset loading..
..it was Epic's 'close' relationship with Sony. The power of a dollar : )
Please don't inform me of games optimized for my new hardware - free of charge.. Just repackage it, call it a remaster and re-sell it to me at full price ; )
“Everyone is touting the SSD as the next big thing, and yes SSDs will help a lot with loading and moving assets, but the biggest culprit that is creating problems in the current generation is the CPU,” Peklar explained to us. “That’s where the biggest difference compared to current generation will come from.”
"Next-gen is about responsiveness, smoothness and a lot less time wasting. The problem with these features is that they are not easy to sell in videos or screensh...
Just 'cause you can now load things faster does not mean every aspect of a game will be instantly available to you.
You still have to play through the game : ) there will still be moments a protagonist has to face resistance even if it's artificial. Lending itself to realism.
