He did mention that. He said in the future it will drive the PCs as well.
This is a win-win for all platform gamers. Fighting over it is just pure idiotic stupidity.

Sweeney is hated as well because of the whole Epic shitstore and Epics scummy tactics, plus the constant bullshit that comes out of his mouth.

That was taken care of after there was an outburst if it happening on the regular. They needed to extend the warranty and everything.

He isn't the most hated in the gaming community though, compared to the ones I cited, hes not hated all.

Why is this tweet getting posted so often on GAF?
Who is TigerCA123? Why does he think a deleted tweet to an article that is still on the WCG website mean the XsX can't run the UE5 demo? What proof is this?
Is it true that a random dude made a random tweet about another tweet (to an article that is still up) got deleted?
700 followers, PS logo as his header. Legit.

He's hated on the PC scene. There have been plenty of threads on here about him and the shitstore, and his bullshit quotes trying to justify their scummy tactics. Its only because he;'s learnt to shut up lately and its died down a bit.

Don't PC gamers always talk about the benefits of an open platform and competition?
And doesn't Epic give a bigger percentage to developers?
I don't see the issue with Epic, really?

There was no confirmation or anything verbatim. Fanboys love to spin their own agenda, and run with it.

Ouch. How many L's can MS continue to take this week? They need to do a proper next gen game reveal.

From what I can see, Windows Central took down their tweet..... looks like there was definitely a problem.

Because you're not a PC gamer, as you always like to tell us.

Tweetception!
Windows Central is also a hardcore fanatic site, so I don’t know why you are getting so bent out of fanboys dunking on fanboys.
Two yodels cancel each other out.

What are you guys talking about?
The article is still up.
Unreal Engine 5 footage ran at 1440p 30 FPS on PS5, featured no ray tracing
Today, Epic Games showed off a demo for its next-gen gaming engine, UE5.

They deleted a tweet so that means that the XsX can't run the demo?

The pc scene doesnt matter though, those guys wait for us console master racers to up the game all the time, and tthe port bagging too, ugh.
I'm joking around obviously, lets not make this thread about who is the most hated person in the gaming community please

I don't see the reason to delete the tweet, if there was nothing outrageous said in it.... series X is 2 flops higher than PS5, that is a factual statement.
So...where was the issue they saw? It does make you wonder.... not saying SX can't run it but maybe there are stipulations?

Bruh corporate/official accounts delete tweets all the fuckin' time
Who knows why they deleted it, or who told them to, or what happened behind the scenes.

PC Gamer here, I am unphased by Epic shilling money to developers. If I really wanted to play a game (ex.Borderlands 3), I would not wait for it to hit my store of choice (Steam).

Maybe the article is giving more views to an open engine that is available on ALL hardware, that was debuted on PS5 hardware?

Hey, you're probably right... maybe we're reading too much into it... What do I know?

Hellblade demo was 24FPS, damn Sony copying again.

Don't you consider what you're doing "goal tending" as well? Let them beat their chest, who cares. Anyway SSD's will get faster, no doubt about that. Actually by the time the PS5 releases there will be quick SSD's already. But isn't it the architecture in the systems and how the SSD is integrated into it that makes it unique? Which I'm sure the PC will some how get around, whether it be just Brute force via Insanely powerful GPU's, CPU's or new architecture.

I beleive it was the tweet. However, after reading the short article. They writer sounds incredibly bitter.

I don't game on either console, so not sure what that supposed to mean. I'll still play at higher resolution and quality than both.

NVMe SSDs...are...PCIe...SSDs...
Remember, PCIe is a standard, not a slot form factor.

Yeah man, the absolute dread and agony of seeing a really awesome demo run on the PS5 must have just ruined his life. I wonder if he will ever be the same again. You nailed it.

Yes I know, I was referring to the physical form of this drive. Like not being an M.2 drive but instead plugging it to an x4 slot.

There are no single nvme, m2 drives (all limited to pciex. 4xlane) capable of
5.5GB/s raw
10GB/s compressed
22GB/s seeking aka getting the data as fast as possible
It took Linus, the canadian lesbi ... wearing sandals and earrings in 2020, like 20x SSDs (intel enterprise 8TB U2 drives) to reach 30GB/s on a prof. raid server board, card.
To reach similar PS5 numbers or even surpass them:
get enough storage, raid0 them, between $500 to $1,000 (4x drives), keep in mind raid0 sucks as OS (seek times increase = takes longer to get files)
raid card not limited to 4x PCIex.lanes another $200? (highpoint ones, dunno price)
But they suck balls or used to anyway, i wouldnt use one as OS drive
They get stupidly hot and throttle down. Gen5 will deliver single drives capable of 2x Gen4 drives in 2021? or 2022.
Even if cooled properly, having to unplug the gpu everytime you wanna access your m2 below it? Fuck no! double check your motherboard layout, avoid the m2 below GPUs ... should they constantly fail on you.

You don’t need to stan for that guy, you’re trying too hard. He has his own track record for all to see.

Well there are people like you speaking false things, and spinning everything around to your agenda, so why not? At least I'm speaking facts
I thought so too
This guy is one of the problems of the internet 2020, giving voice to idiots.
The subject thinks that he understands something because he has knowledge at best at the technical level and can contradict an engineer from a large company.

LOL!
How are you going to mention a CPU on the PC setup but not one on the Sony setup?
PS5
SSD (5G/s) -> CPU -> GPU (RDNA2 ~12G VRAM @446GB/s)
PC
SSD (2.5G/s) -> CPU -> System RAM (16G @ ~25G/s) -> GPU (2080Ti 11G VRAM @ 616G/s)
Do you see the built-in cache here that the PC can utilitize that's faster than the SSD from Sony? And that's just a typical 16G configuration. It can be much much larger.

u probably put a usb thumb drive
even consumer grade cheap ones can handle 3600 full game installs. Will someone install games 3600 times in 5 years? That is ignoring sonys drive may have higher endurance
The tweet implied the xbox had more tflops and it wasnt indicative. Implying superior xbox version. The article has a disclaimer that it might not have an advantage.What are you guys talking about?

Says the guy who spun a deleted tweet just a few minutes ago lol. Just wait till the demo is available to the public. Or when pc architecture doesn't change, because a $500 console.People like me, eh? I have only been quoting Sweeney himself.

Indeed, X discord group anyone?
Alex was part of the X discord? Like, for real?
I still don't get where "demo can't run on the XsX" comes out of this
Ironic that you told me this, not the guy I was replying to, who tried to make some super sketchy assumption based on Alex's body language in one video
What did Alex do to hurt you all?
Edit
Also, c'mon dude, don't call me a stan. That's just a bullshit way to try to dismiss someone's argument. I don't stan for anybody. I am wrong all the time, maybe I am wrong this time, but I am being genuine.

What did I spin? I asked if it was true my dude.
So you’re telling me these SSD IO and software stacks won’t make their way to the PC? Naga please!

I have yet to see meaningful game loading differences between sata ssds and pcie ssds. Who knows how long it will take to load if u try to load 100GB of ram.
The ps5 ssd is 100x faster in practice than an hdd.
