I have a small youtube channel and I actually thought about making a quick video with my thoughts on it, but then I decided it wouldn't really achieve much aside from trying to ride on GN's popularity and look like trying to get views. Anyway I thought it was a really weird video in general, I know GN has a PC bias, but the methodology in this was weird and the conclusion just felt like it didn't really ask why the results were the way they were. It was more like 'PS5 is a GTX 1060.'
First I had issues with the methodology because they tried to 'match hardware', which I don't mind them matching image quality and settings quality, but these were games that didn't really push the PS5. These were old games, and Dirt 5 wasn't exactly a graphical showcase. With this methodology you could say Minecraft runs great on a GTX 1060 too just like on a PS5. Then there were only 3 games tested. And then they said they were going to match performance, but one of the graphs had 130fps vs 110fps. Then they tried to match settings in Dirt 5 but Dirt 5 on PS5 had dynamic resolution. Then finally they said the PS5 is more like a 4 to 5 year old mid/high end PC. Um what? Like sure, if its phrased like 'PS5 120hz right now in these older games perform like a mid tier PC, Sony can you do something about it?', like that makes sense to me, but it was literally like 'It is what it is, these are the results, its like a GTX 1060'.
Also the fact that the channel usually averages a 99% like/dislike rating, and this video is rating around 90% shows that a lot of people think its a bad take.
For the record, I game on PC most, but am also a console gamer.
why is this video 35 minutes
They make 30 minute videos.
