Sony Playstation 5 thread
I figured we could go ahead and start this.
I wasn't able to watch it today, but Sony had a live event where they unveiled the PS5 console. I don't really have an opinion on the appearance yet, but it can be vertical or horizontal. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Your first look at the <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/PlayStation5?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#PlayStation5</a>. <a href="https://t.co/VCDfmVKCEl">pic.twitter.com/VCDfmVKCEl</a></p>— PlayStation (@PlayStation) <a href="https://twitter.com/PlayStation/status/1271198364353220609?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 11, 2020</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">...and here it is.

This competition has never been about specs, it's been about first party exclusives and cost. As long as PS5 doesn't try to sell their system at a ridiculous price like they did with the PS3 then they should be the favorite again. Especially if their launch titles include any sequels like Horizon Zero Dawn, God of War, Uncharted, Infamous, etc.

when Xbox 360 came out; I bought one; I went through 3 of them in like 12 months with the red ring of death. each time I bought the replacement warranty thing at Nebraska Furniture mart for like 40 or something like that. the finall replacement, I sold it to a co-worker of my wife for like $50 less than it would retail for and applied that to a PS3. Never looked back. Moved to PS4 and PS4 pro.
I'm sure Xbox has resolved the issues, but man - it left such a sour taste in my mouth that I just can't bring myself to even consider getting an Xbox again. love my PS4. I can't even remember the last time it locked up /froze / shut down etc. fires up and plays for hours w/out issue. not sure if I'll do the PS5; seriously considering getting a computer for gaming. though, that world is a bit foreign to me at the moment. but I'm considering it. I want to set up something for flight simulator and trucking simulator eventually. |
PS5 for exclusive content. Xbox for platform-agnostic content and gaming computer power to rival many PCs.
|
Where in/on an entertainment center do you put the new xbox? It's 6x6x12 and needs to be stood upright. I do like the appearance of it otherwise.

Im thinking about building a PC before I even consider getting a PS5. Ive been playing games lately that are clearly struggling on my PS4. Nioh 2 in "action mode" has good frame rate and poor resolution and "movie mode" has better resolution but looks like it runs 3 frames per second. Resident Evil 2 remake makes my system sound like a Harrier jet raping a garbage disposal with a weed eater watching while it jerks off.
|
PS5 should be around 100x faster than PS4, so a lot of your issues may be solved from the get-go.
|
Sure would be nice to have a PS5 right about now.

Probably buy a launch Series X and PS5 down the road once the exclusive catalog builds up. Rumor is the former may play PC games in Windows mode. |

The SSD in this is ****ing bonkers....makes it worth buying alone.
That and the 3D Audio implementation, can't wait... |
I’m only buying one system and it’ll be a PS5. I don’t give a shit about specs and flops. Sony’s exclusives are so much better than the Microsoft catalog and it’s supposed to be cheaper than the Xbox. Sweet! The next God of War will be insane.

Storage is where the Xbox Series X and PS5 differ radically. Sony has created an impressive proprietary SSD solution that provides 825GB of storage and 5.5GB/s of performance. The Xbox Series X includes a custom 1TB NVME SSD, but its raw throughput is less than half at 2.4GB/s. That could mean load times differ massively between the PS5 and Xbox Series X, depending on what game developers optimize for. Sony is also allowing PS5 owners to expand storage with regular NVMe PC drives, but there’s a slight caveat. We’re still waiting to see PCIe 4.0-based drives that will match the bandwidth of what Sony has implemented in the PS5, and compatibility could be complex given that Sony will need to validate that drives will be fast enough and compatible with the PS5. Sony’s expansion does mean that PS5 owners should be able to pick up a fast PCIe 4.0 NVMe drive and increase the storage of the console with relative ease. Microsoft is using a proprietary expansion card format for the Xbox Series X, and it has partnered with Seagate to produce 1TB expansion cards for launch. We still don’t know the price of these proprietary cards, nor how much fast PCIe 4.0 NVMe drives will cost later this year. Verge.com |

But what about the games? Have you heard anything about new IP coming out of Microsoft studios? Halo, Gears, and Forza don't appeal to me at all. |

Meh I think Sony is behind the 8 ball on this and rushing something out to have it at the same time as Microsoft, but their part deals aren't as good as Microsoft's so they need to charge more per system to make up the difference. They're trying to guess what Microsoft is going to charge and then they'll have to decide between $50 - $100 more for their system based on their exclusives and name. I'll be surprised if they cost the same. The press conference didn't tell me anything I didn't already know; wow, it's got similar specs to what Microsoft is putting out, provocative! Until you show me what it looks like and give me at least 3 launch titles I'm not going to get excited about it.

It'll probably be much less powerful in the standard mode of operation. There's no way it will be able to sustain boost for any sort of decent amount of time due to heat issues. |
Don't will be fine. Honestly most of the power is wasted by the developers in programming and shitty code. My problem with Sony is their first party games. Most are QuickTime movies. Spiderman was about it for me.
I also think it is foolish to spend the money on timed exclusives. Ms needs to up their game also. Their first party games sucked this generation. They killed a lot of promising games. I think the next generation after this will be finally PC's. Upgradable consoles. Basically cheaper computers using proprietary software. |

The Series X looks nuts too, powerful as hell...the XB1 controller is my fav. of all time and they've only made it better. Lots of promising stuff that Halo Infinite will be amazing, rumors of Fable coming back, and other intriguing stuff like what will Obsidian's next game be, etc. I don't think you'll go wrong with either console. |

The PS5 logo was the most liked gaming related image on Instagram ever. It's crazy. |
Unreal Engine 5 on PS5. Pretty amazing.

Evidently Sony's new storage management is industry-changing.

maybe games will be able to run better on the PS5, they sure run like shit on PS4. At least the 3 games that I play. Only reason to get it is because all of my gaming friends will.

I wonder how much the ps5 will be |
Quote:
As for the price, it may not mean anything but the PS5 Dualsense controller is going to be priced $10 higher than the DS4 at release. I assume the PS5 will be $399-450. |
I'm expecting $499.99
|
I still have the regular PS4......so I may just pick this up at launch.
|
looks nice, but i just built me a new gaming pc. I might actually skip this gaming Gen. Everything is starting to go crossplay anyways.

I always gold myslef after buying the PS4 pro, it would be the last console for me; I would switch to building a gaming computer.
not that I've been at all displeased with the PS4; but I'm novice when it comes to computer gaming, and some of the stuff I've just casually seen looks awesome; and game selection. Plus I primiarily want a gaming system that will smoothly run X Plane 11 or FS 2020, and American Truck Driver. I think if i got a gaming rig that would run those games, and other games here and there, that I would never really play the playstation anymore. of course, I know nothing about gaming computers or how to build one; so I'll tackle that when the time comes. Might have to just pay someone who knows what they're doing a few bucks to build it for me. lol |

It can still be disheartening when something goes wrong and things do not work as they are supposed to but it is usually a pretty easy fix in the end and there resources on the internet are endless. |

It can be a pain in the ass to sync a ps4 controller to it so I just bought an xbox controller to use (wired) so I dont have to deal with that. I mainly bought it for mods but mods are such a pain in the ass..I'd rather just sit down in my leather recliner, turn on my ps4 and play a game on my 70" Tv. The NCAA mod on Madden and the NCAA mod on nba 2k are nice but I have an Xbox and it's easier to pop in NCAA on that. |

Maybe someone will take the initiative and produce colored skins, like phone cases or something.

just bring back the grey color scheme.. thanks

Both consoles look like dogshit.
I get what Xbox was trying to do with their "revolutionary" cooling design (lol). At least the Xbox will work with 90% of people's houses and disappear into the background. This thing is like what someone in 2002 envisioned "sleek" was going to look like in 2020. |
Any word on backwards compatability?
|
Please tell me those images are fake
|
I mean the version with the disk looks pregnant. Or something with a hump.
It's like the engineers finalized the "Digital" design thinking that was going to be the only version only for the leadership team to later come back and tell them they changed their mind and they will need a disk version too. ROFL |
The PS5 is ugly as sin, but I’ll get it day one. Bought the ps3 and PS4 day one for years and it’s been great.
