, the informant AestheticGamer claimed on social media that he learned from some developers that "PS5 performed very badly in 4K games." Because he had experienced some accurate revelations before, his statement caused an uproar on the Internet. With the fermentation of online discussions, more and more developers have come forward to oppose this statement.
Matt Hargett, who once worked at PlayStation and is currently the chief engineer at Roblox, directly questioned the technical details in AestheticGamer's speech. To this, AestheticGamer can only respond by saying "I don't know the details", "It's just passing on something I heard from the two platform game developers."
In another report caused by AestheticGamer's speech, some netizens mentioned the first-person cosmic horror game "Quantum Error" as an example of "bad performance on PS5 in 4K" during the discussion. TeamKill Media, the developer of the game, came forward to clarify, saying that "this statement does not come from us" and revealed that their work can reach 4K 65~70 frames without optimization on PS5, and confirmed that the official version will reach a stable 4K 60 frame.
In addition to the developers, there are also many ordinary netizens who said they do not believe in AestheticGamer's statement, such as the following:
You now say that most people will not believe it, because the PS5 has really powerful hardware potential, and a lot of developers praised it. PS5 performance and programming, it has a more advanced architecture than we know, and Sony has not even shown a complete disassembly.
In fact, before AestheticGamer broke the news, Jeff Grubb, a gaming industry reporter who worked at VentureBeat, also expressed concern about the performance of PS5. He mentioned in a program that "PS5's internal architecture may cause trouble for game developers":
Sony uses AMD SmartShift on PS5 (Editor's note: the technology that implements variable frequency on PS5) , Many people directly infer that PS5 will be the same as Xbox Series X, but maybe — I’m not sure, because I’m not a developer — this SmartShift technology is worrying. Its principle is to dynamically allocate power between the CPU and GPU, and developers really don't have to worry about this before, especially on the host platform.
Later, Grubb also clarified on social media that this is just a potential problem that may arise, and expressed the hope that knowledgeable developers can come out to explain it. The main reason why
broke the news was controversial because AestheticGamer failed to come up with any substantive evidence to support his claim. His revelation was first published in a post entitled "Realistically speaking, how will Microsoft compete with Sony's next generation?" on an overseas forum Resetera, and then shared it again on social media. After the statement caused controversy, Resetera has removed his position as moderator and locked the post he broke.
faced many doubts, AestheticGamer repeatedly emphasized on social media that "all the revelations are true", but he still did not come up with concrete evidence. At the same time, he clarified that netizens think he is an Xbox fan, claiming that he has never played Xbox after Xbox 360. "The total time of the "Halo" series is less than 3 hours." He is usually a PC player. The most commonly used host is only Switch, and occasionally I play PS4.
In addition, AestheticGamer also mentioned his original intention of breaking the news on social media. His original words are as follows:
host war is really stupid. The reason I initially shared these news was that the situation became too one-sided, even though I also knew the consequences of telling them.
In some ways, I do regret having said these words, but I also want to reiterate the reason why I shared these news. Sometimes this is exhausted. Many people will try their best to judge your whole person and refute you with insults. Some people will think that you are doing this to attract attention. But believe me, I am not that masochist.
Finally, because I'm just conveying what others say, I don't mind being outspoken. I know too little about this topic to give a complete answer to what everyone is looking for, but I believe everything I say is true. I'm fine, I think Sony will do a good job, the console war is the worst. the above.
In his response, "The reason I originally shared these news is that the situation has become too one-sided." This sentence is very intriguing. Some media interpreted this sentence as AestheticGamer lying in order to "balance the industry", but combined with his insistence that his sentence is true, this sentence may be interpreted as "I do know some inside information, but the situation has become I understand that the situation is not too one-sided, so I decided to share this information with the outside world."
No matter what, his words are really puzzling. After all, even "Keanu Reeves" can't understand what he wants to express. It's no wonder that it caused misunderstandings.
As the commercial war at the end of the year gets closer, we will soon know whether these rumors are true or not.
