To be fair... since the Xbox and PS4, those console families have used the same architecture as PCs. If I remember correctly, Xbox consoles actually run a custom version of Windows and use DirectX.

But muh cell processor!!

Which make delays and poor quality of the PC ports even more non-sensical.

Yeah and PlayStation runs a variant of freeBSD. As a PC gamer I’m all for it because it means console games almost always make their way to PC, (and now are starting to be cross-console as well).

FOOTAGE CAPTURED ON PC

I can almost guarantee they're testing on hardware that consumers could only dream of when making games to make sure they can hide piss poor optimization.

Playing devil's advocate, could they not just be recording on a PC which they have connected to a PS5 on? So the game is being played on PS5 but recorded via PC, instead of naively on the PS5?

No, the capture device isn't what's being referred to.
