David Springate Technical Director Dirt 5
I also find it rather ironic that now what devs are telling is matters. A few months back devs were telling us both consoles were very close in terms of performance. Devs were saying they were very happy with PS5 and a dev called it the most inspired piece of console hardware ever. This mirrors what we are seeing now, they are close in performance.
I'm familiar with this interview. I quoted from it already.
The tools are new. There is a learning curve that isn't there on the Sony side. That's what we're hearing. I have no idea if that accounts for anything with how Assassin's Creed Valhalla is running on the Xbox Series X or what if any bearing it has on how the same engine might run in the future.
I've been saying that I expect the differences to be small, and that I expect the systems to trade wins. Yes, you'll find me predicting that most multiplatform games will run better on Series X, which clearly remains to be seen, and which I still believe will be the case based on what we've seen so far.
You'll also find me saying nothing but positive things about Cerny.
'Most inspired piece of console hardware ever' sounds like some crazy hyperbole to me though.
