5.0 out of 5 stars Xbox user for 20 years giving the Playstation a try.
Honestly, love the controller. That cute little Astro game that comes bundled in with it as a tech demo for said controller was so impressive for what it was. It's very quite and really big, like this is the most ridiculous sized console I've seen so far and the storage isn't that impressive compared to the Series X. However two things i do appreciate though is the complete lack of advertisements on the home screen, which Xbox is riddled with and third party NVME support. Meaning you don't have to spend a ridiculous amount of money on the Series X/S Seagate one.Now that's not to say i like everything about it, Microsoft went through quite a lot of effort to make as many 360 and original Xbox games backwards compatible with One X enhancements or FPS boost available for both Series consoles and well Sony has only focused on it's last gen games which is extremely disappointing.Onto gaming it plays games at way higher resolution than my Series S and is really silent whilst doing so. Playing God of war (first one) 4k 60fps is something to behold and whilst there's a few other games that I'm going to try out out i think I'm going to have fun.Now would i recommend this? yes. First party offerings are miles ahead of Xbox at this current moment in time. As Xbox offerings have been lacking, disappointing or whatever the hell Redfall is for the last 10 years. Also the always online DRM...Yeah. However Series X/S is better value for money and you can actually emulate PS1/2 games with dev mode on the series consoles.The PlayStation is better value for gaming in my honest opinion. PSVR is also an option to have an entirely different experience that's completely none existent over at Xbox. Great selection of first party games, much nicer less marketized home screen and a something i found humorous, it's own version of game pass with a lot of Bethesda games on XD.I haven't really played all that much on it at the moment but i have a few games downloaded from their version of the play pass.Updated: It's still good, what I'd like to add is that the PS5 is much easier to clean as it's not that hard to take apart and blow the dust out.Update again: The backwards combability is literally paywalled into a subscription, so if you want to play older games without having to pay then i recommend the Xbox, not only do you just pop the disc in and install said game from the disc...You'll have One X enhancements, FPS boost and HDR, OG Xbox, 360 and the One games all have this and the sheer fact PlayStation doesn't (PS2-PS3 backwards compatibility?) is mind boggling. For the same price as the highest tier PS sub you can just get dev mode on the Series consoles and emulate every game under the sun from Atari to the Wii this is one of my biggest criticisms of the PlayStation and the other is how restrictive it is no third party keys allowed, terrible refund policy, like come on Sony? Steam and Xbox at least allow you to play the game and refund it or buy it cheaper somewhere else....It's like Nintendo.Most of my original review still stands, i love the controller and haptic feedback and the games that utilise it, yet i constantly have to mute the controller because listening to people mash buttons through it is not only annoying, it's downright tedious.
5.0 out of 5 stars From launch to beyond
Here we are three years on,From launch in November 2020, The Astro Playroom was already installed to test all the features of the duelsense controller,And it did it well with a fantastic opening with a controller on screen where you can test all features, The adaptive triggers , The haptic feedback where you can feel all the little tiny robots move around,The playroom game itself is charming, Very fun even if your 5 going on 50,If you know anything about playstation history then you will get all the references in this game with alot of collectibles that show up,Now to the Playstation 5 disk edition,Back in 2020, The build in storage was a problem, It may say 825gb on the box but it was more like 600gb,You can plug in an external Hard Drive or 2.5inch SSD to a USB port, However that only allows you to play PS4 games from those drives, Native PS5 games can only be played from the internal ssd or from the M.2 PCIE4.0 slot,(You can hold PS5 games on an external Hard drive or 2.5inch SSD then move across to the internal drive to play if you have slow broadband speeds)The M.2 slot is easy enough to get to and install more storage, A Crucial P5 Plus 2tb with a heatsink, Or A Seagate firecuda 530 2tb with heatsink,Those drives have come down in price alot now, A Crucial P5 Plus 2tb is at most £130,Now the xbox series consoles, Their 2tb expansion storage cards are so over priced I've refused to buy one on principle,Now for the console gaming experience,As with the PS4 any update for any game you have installed will update in the background, However on PS5 this is vastly improved the "Copying" after you have downloaded the game update is quick, Certainly not 30+ minutes of "Copying" on the dark times of the PS4,For Native PS5 games, It's very fast load times,In final fantasy 7 remake PS5 version the load up a save is less than 2 seconds,Rachet & Clank Rift Apart , Spiderman remaster/ miles morales these games have the same super fast loading times of less than a few seconds,If you have a HDMI 2.1 capable tv that can do 4k 120fps Like any LG oled tv from B To G,Then games like Rainbow 6 siege, Fortnite, Cod, They all have 120fps modes,Other games such as Horizon forbidden west, God of War Ragnarok, Last of us Part 1, Spiderman remaster/ miles morales,These have 40fps options if you have a 120hz tv with hdmi 2.1, They also have modes where you can unlocked the frame rate where it can go up to 120fps but most of the time it's over 60fps but mostly stays at 90+fps,The variable refresh rate works fine so you don't really notice the difference, It feels alot more responsive than 60fps,To the good and the bad points,Positives+ M.2 slot to upgrade ssd storage at a more sensible price compared to xbox,+very fast game loading times,+Duelsense controller features feels great when games actually use it to take full advantage,+Background downloading is vastly improved,+ PS5 Exclusive games made by Sony are very story driven and graphically impressive,Negatives,- As you can see from my photo the playstation 5 is just massive much bigger than the xbox series x,- The Duelsense controller doesn't get used to it's full potential by 3rd party games,- It has 8k Slapped on the PS5 box but as of August 2023 it doesn't actually support 8k (Why.... marketing that's why, 8k is pointless you need a screen that's over 82inchs to notice the difference compared to 4k, It's only slapped on the box so sony can say that PS5 can do 8k and xbox series consoles can't)- The PS5 stand to have the console in horizontal or vertical feels cheap,My final opinion,It may be a white giant skyscraper or landscraper, But it is a console that has first class 1st party games, A Duelsense controller that makes you feel the difference while playing those games by the haptic feedback and other features of it,With the price of PC GPU's ,A console that can play games at a reasonable cost is worthy of your time and money,You won't be disappointed spending your human time credits on the playstation 5,
