190 GB??
Hopefully that's just needed to install and update, and not the final size.

I am confused by that one as well.

Wow, that's just insane. That's not even remotely reasonable. If this is e.g. because of high-resolution textures, the texture pack should definitely be a free DLC so everyone doesn't have to reserve 190 GB for the game.

Reasonable, except for the storage space lol

Utter madness, that's what the space requirement is.

I can assume this should be able to run on the steam deck since the first one did as well.

The game is poorly optimized if you need a RTX 3070 to play a PS4 game at 1440/60fps. The 2060 super is already superior to the PS5 GPU for games with raytracing. Without raytracing a 3060 is already better than the PS5 GPU.

Is it? The PS5 GPU is similar to the RX 6700XT which is slightly weaker than a 3070

The RTX3070 has over 20TFLOP's and whilst that is not the be all and all stat it's quite clear that it's much stronger than the PS5. RTX cards also have better reay tracing and access to DLSS. The RTX3060 has 12.75 TFlops and is also stronger than the PS5. The only advantage PS5 has it's memory, which is 16GB instead of 12 or 8GB Vram. However 16GB is the entire system memory opposed to a pc which also has DDR4/DDR5 RAM.

The PS5 is most comparable to a RTX2060 Super for racing tracing and a RTX2070 super/RTX2080 for rasterisation.

But it's recommended for 'High' settings.

I am not sure GoWR running on vanilla PS4 is identical to what high settings on PC will look like.

To be frank, your comment seems poorly optimized.

Even if the PS5 edition are a combination of low/medium its poorly optimized. Considering the RTX3070 is over two times as powerful as a PS5.

Sorry, but wouldn't that assume you know what 'high settings' will look like on PC? How can you possibly form an opinion on it being poorly optimized?

Just explain this please.

Many false claims here. You can't really compare TFLOPS between the 20 and 30 series generation. Firstly, you state that the PS5 is comparable to an RTX 2070 SUPER/RTX 2080 in rasterization, while being slower than an RTX 3060. This is impossible because the RTX 2070 SUPER is about 15% faster than an RTX 3060. Secondly, the RTX 3070 is just 30% faster than the RTX 2070 SUPER. So, it is clearly false that the RTX 3070 is twice as fast in rasterization if the PS5 matches an RTX 2070 SUPER. Digital Foundry recently made a video showing that the RTX 4070 SUPER/RTX 3090 would be about twice as fast as a PS5.
