The PS5 is worth it for the QOL improvements you get from playing PS4 games alone. Games run at their targeted frame rate with absolutely no drops, loads quicker by a huge margin, and best of all, the console doesn't sound like a plane turbine even with the most demanding games. It's what the PS4 Pro should've been
That's what I have been saying. The main reason I got the PS5 was literally because it was a PS4 upgrade. Literally no downside to the PS5 compared to the PS4.
I literally sourced a PS5 to play Uncharted and The Last of Us series at 60FPS in their entirety (at least at this point in time). One thing you mentioned, which is definitely true, is that the console is very quiet. I've been playing The Last of Us Part II at 60FPS (absolutely night and day to 30FPS) and I can't even hear the PS5 running.
It's the quality of life, the loading of everything, it's not the initial going forward to Ps5 that impressed me, it was actually going back to ps4 that Ps5 impressed me. How bad everything looks, and how slow everything loads.
One of the biggest reasons I'm happy to own a PS5 is how prevalent and ubiquitous the 60 FPS framerate target has become. It has incredibly quickly become the industry standard, and as somebody who used to think it wasn't that big of a deal, I've been converted completely. 60 FPS is incredibly important to gamefeel and smoothness of the image. I'll also say, sure, if you wait the console will become cheaper, in like 3 or 4 years, and only by $100. You wouldn't pay $100 to have a PS5 4 years early? If you spend much of your time gaming I don't see how that's so much of a compelling trade off. People spend $1000 on their phones. Gaming consoles aren't even expensive relative to other technologies.
60FPS was always the industry standard, most of the biggest ps2 games were 60fps ffs. Its because Sony and Microsoft both cheaped out last 2 generations. PC is industry standard quality, consoles are usually below that. Also, it'll be 30fps when Unreal Engine 5 starts being utilized properly
You don’t notice as much of an upgrade from PS4 to PS5 because of the PS4 pro. Comparing base PS4 to PS5 is still quite a significant jump. Not as much as PS2 to PS3, but games are running at higher resolutions and at 60fps so a lot of the performance is getting directed towards those targets than just pure visuals
You really need the right tv really notice the difference, the same was sort of true with ps2 to ps3, when to begin with in the ps3 era we were all playing on crt tvs
I would much prefer developers stuck to 1080p targets. Even with my huge 4K TV I would much prefer a more detailed, more physics intense game world than more pixels. You only have to compare a DVD movie to a 4K video game. DVDs are SD and 24-25fps and games can be 4K 60fps but the DVD is more photo realistic which I prefer.
I didn’t really like the PS4 generation as much as I liked the PS3 era, maybe because I am getting older. But I’m really excited for this generation and the upcoming games like Max Payne, Wolverine and Factions!
@@ezyclapz1221 because the PS4 era is easily Sony’s worst era. PS2 being the best. The only people who think the PS3 era is the worst are corporate simps who glance at sales figures and base their decisions on a console’s value solely based on that. PS3 still had the Sony charm of the PS1 and PS2 era. PS4 was Sony ditching that to pander to the white teenage morons who beat off the Xbox 360. How many wonderful and quirky Japanese games did we get compared to the PS1-PS3 era? Very little. Regarding PS4 sales figures, they aren’t all that impressive when you consider how absolutely laughable its competition was. For how terrible it was, the PS4 should have sold over 200 million consoles.
I feel like the PS3 era was my favorite and ps5 follows behind. The PS3 was not only a gaming upgrade from PS2 but the fact that I could play PS2 and Ps1 games download movies, music, themes, ui the PS3 could basically do all and was so customizable it’s still my fav console.
PS3 is definitely my favourite as well. Everything about it was a huge leap forward. Free multiplayer, HDD, bluray drive, PS Store, PS Home, XMB, 1080p, widescreen, Play TV, PS1 & 2 backwards compatibility, downloadable demos, themes, music library, video library, wireless controllers, motion controllers and that was even before you counted the graphical leap as well. Such a great console. We'll never get a leap forward like that again.
I've been playing a lot of the free upgrade games i already platinumed. Most are just more shiny with haptic support. PS3 had ps home, and for me that was a whole game changer. i may not have gotten so into gaming had it not been for home. i always get excited when they talk about bringing it back. hope they do.
The closest to PS Home we have currently is VR Chat, which can be played on a normal PC without a VR headset (I played PS Home a bit when it originally launched). I have been playing VR chat a bunch recently with the original Vive headset and enjoying the minigolf worlds. If you don't mind the kids, furries and edge lords then it's quite fun, and occasionally meet some cool people and have some awesome experiences. I was up till 3AM playing an escape room for 1 and half hours with a couple of random people I just met playing minigolf, some British guy and a Finnish girl, it was pretty cool. Something like that would work well on PS I would think, although it would be a lot more closed off and moderated than VR Chat, which is like the wild west internet repackaged as a first person game. Some really good things, a lot of not so good, a lot of memes and half finished or amateur things but it has its charm.
@@gamingenthusiast5450 not true. Just because a game has better graphics doesn't make it better. A good example is skyrim, can you name an rpg that is better in ps5 era. maybe the witcher 3 is as good, but again that's not ps5 era.
The PlayStation 5 is a great system. The fast loading, improved performance and increased emersion from the DualSense and 3D audio. It seems its good to develop and optimise for too apparently
I disagree. Yes the controller is great. As far as increased performance & load speed. I say, disappointing. It does next to nothing for PS4 games & PS5 games, it is quicker but not mind blowing. Also we only have 3 or 4 actual PS5 games. Most games available are PS4 games with 60 FPS & 4K if you want to run it at 30 FPS. Also, all the promised features that are still not available such as VRR.😐🙁 I bought mine because I felt pressured because it's difficult to find. Big mistake, wish I would have waited.😐🙁
@@kcapk1970 does nothing for PS4 games? So having load times cut down by 75% and having locked frame rates isn't enough? Actually hearing the game instead of your consoles fan spinning at mach 10 speed is a bad thing?
The ps5 is really great so far. I love the new ui. The controller is amazing. The games are top notch. The backwards compatibility is relatively good. 60 fps at 4k. Older games running better. It's going to be a good generation for games going forward.
@@KenjiKussano I couldn't tell you all the specs. Digital Foundry does a good job explaining such things. All I know is it works great, plays great, and looks really good on my big 4k TV. Have had zero issues since I have had it.
@@KenjiKussano all of the ps5 games i've seen so far have 2 modes: fidelity mode which targets 30fps with all settings on max and 4k and the performance mode which targets 60 fps with minimal loss of image quality still running in 4k... In my opinion there will be a step up in those specs and 8k gaming for the ps5 pro. Hope this helps 😁
I got a PS5 finally a month ago and just got an HDR 4K TV yesterday for it. Im playing the PS4 Miles Morales with the PS5 upgrade and it looks amazing. I didn't get a PS4 until last year so Im running through all the exclusives right now and I can't wait for Ragnorak. I did love the PS4 and I do not regret moving from Microsoft to Sony. The home screen is taking a bit to get used to and I keep running into issues trying to stream with a MIC but this is all new and great channels like yours is helping me!
There's still improvements to be made, features that need to be brought back (better media player support) the f internet browser(yes I know about the hidden one) being able to create folders etc also why no video chat if we got the ps camera??? Also instant messaging like on PS3 would be nice.
Ps2 is by far the best console they ever made. Games were simply way, way better. More risks taken, way more interesting and diverse games. IF the ps2 library is finally saved and available on ps5 then yeah sure ps5 is cool. In the meantime it’s not even a contest
@@nickl9317 I loved the PS2 aswell don't get me wrong..but the point the video making is that for the first year and half...out of the box so to speak...the games and content have been nothing sort of amazing...and we're only 1 year and half in the gen..imagine year 5,6,7 once the ps5 is really in it's stride....we'll be able to better compare then...but at the moment...I got a lot of stuff to play..not enough time
Absolutely zero regrets getting a PS5 at launch. (Yes, I was lucky enough to be able to in the first place.) I just can't go back to playing games at 30fps. I can't go back to long load times. And if I didn't get it, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to play my favorite game ever, Returnal.
Broadcast screen is the best feature I've ever seen on any gaming device. Which is saying a lot. Having a buddies live gameplay screen-in-screen is literally a game-changer. Playing Elden Ring with my brother, branching off to do our own things in the game, but still being able to see what he's up to is so damn cool. It makes cooperation so much easier when I can simply see what my brother is doing rather than having to have him describe it to me. He might as well be sitting next to me with his whole setup
I’ve had a 5 for almost two months now and I will definitely agree that the dual sense is pretty amazing. I know now why people were so surprised by the features. The first PS5 game I got was elden ring, so when I went to play returnal and Astro I was legitimately blown away by the technology. Also really love that it’s basically a PS4. Very pleasing to be able to plug in the external ajd have the whole library there. Now I don’t feel bad that there were so many digital games I picked up and didn’t play during the PS4 era.
Although I still own a PS4 I transferred all my old games onto an external drive and play them on my PS5. The PS5 has more backward compatible games than any other current console.
I usually wait till the slim Playstation comes out, but the PS5's backwards compatibility with all my PS4 games that I had yet to play, plus significantly reducing load times and steady 60fps sold me on getting one earlier. Transfered all my PS4 Pro games to my PS5 and sold my PS4 Pro, no regrets. Love my PS5.
Sony has never been good with Software when it comes to OS. They take forever to implement new features. The community doesn’t talk enough about this for some reason.
I think it has quickly become one of my favourite consoles. As you said being able to play PS4 games at their peak performance is so good. It's essentially a PC the way it upscales to the specs.
Quite literally the only thing I miss from the ps4 is themes. Everything else, I'm happier on the ps5. Something about it feels so smooth and clean even just in the UI and the quick bar feature (I don't remember the official term for it, but when you hit the ps button in game and can see the cards and parties and whatnot). This is very much just a subjective me issue, but I hated the dualshock. Compared to Xbox controllers, it felt so weird and uncomfortable to me. The dualsense is literally perfect for me, it's exactly what I wanted for a ps controller.
I’ve a Xbox/ps5 but I barely play my Xbox it barely have any games for it when I do play my Xbox it’s for 360/ original games I also have a modded original Xbox with every Xbox game that’s not backwards compatible.
I got fired from my job because i almost beat up my 50 year old coworker.. and It got toxic yo so now i smoke weed on my RUclips channel now, meanwhile i get back to the hustle lmao💨😈
Between the availability and price of HDMI 2.1 displays, M.2 storage and PS5s, it's gonna be a years before I even try to buy a PS5 for the small library it has.
One thing I seriously miss about the PS4 though is the Ui and the Theme system I felt were far better I really loved having my game library organised in folders and the close up boxed squares were you could see the artwork clearly was really nice. I kinda feel like the PS5 lost some of that charm by trying to mimic the switch.
I'm normally a late adopter, but I knew that was for the best once I saw how large the PS5 was going to be. I'm pretty excited to see what the PS5 slim looks like.
I'm going to keep it a 💯 what I miss from the PS3 video chat like that was really cool it's crazy how they didn't bring that feature to the PS4 or the PS5
I don't think many people understand how significant of a jump from PS4 to PS5 is in terms of clarity, resolution, and playability. Comparing screenshots of games between the both hardly do it justice and honestly the PS4 is holding back progress of making games more feature rich. It really sucks that PS5s STILL are not widely available because if it was, we'd see games taking advantage of said hardware much more. I remember the transition from PS3 to PS4, same with Xbox, being pretty sudden in terms of a lot of studios choosing to be "next gen" only. With that said, Sony really needs a way of removing the FPS cap and boosting the resolution like what MS is doing with their new consoles. It goes a long way when you can make last gen games look better without dev input.
This was what I thought wad the case too, in my eyes it seemed like the ps2 to the 3 was not much of a loading time difference for a few games then the 4s was quite samey and then 5 just whoosh lol like a huge jump from load times and the dual senses triggers is just absolutely amazing especially on Resi 8 loved the feeling trying to pull trigger of a magnum 😍 can't wait for the ps5 upgrades to come out of 2 3 an 7 to see what they do with them.
I just can’t believe that they have been out since 2020 and I have yet to see one in any stores available or online available at the normal sales rate. Congratulations to all of you guys that are fortunate to own one.
The best part of owning a PS5 was I got to give my PS4 pro to my friend. He hasn’t had a console in years and I was able to just give it to him. That felt pretty good
I kept mine to boost multiplayer trophies in predominantly single player games with an alternate account. Plus it's the limited edition KH3 one, which is nice even though the game sucked.
I absolutely love my ps5. Play it everyday. I never had a ps4 so my backlog is pretty long at this moment and I’m able to catch-up on a lot of games that I’ve always wanted to play. The only issue I’ve had was the rest mode bug where my console would not turn back on after coming out of rest mode. It’s happened 4 times in the past 5 months since I’ve had it and hasn’t happened for awhile so I believe it’s been fixed. 🤞🏻 the locked 60fps on games has spoiled me. Lol when I play my Xbox one, all the games just look choppy as hell.
In the end what matters most to me with a console is the games that are on it, which is why I loved the PS4 so much. So many of my favorite games of all time came to PS4, and many of them were also exclusive, and because the PS5 can play all PS4 games, and play them better, it immediately becomes like a PS4 2 in my eyes
I love the console. I love the DUALSENSE (amazing) and I love the pulse 3d headset which I think is underrated. And I love the default white look o a console.
My favourite thing is the back catalogue with the PS4 unlike with 4 where they had a clean break from 1/2/3 with 5 honestly there’s no waiting around with for games where you have 1000’s for the 5 day one
I love the PS5! I was so impressed with the DualSense controller! Like you said in the video, I miss it a lot when I play games on other systems! I really like the PS5's design and replaceable PS5 covers.
@@FlyingV555 it didn’t get it’s first killer exclusive until Uncharted 4 in 2016. It literally coasted on the Xbox One’s launch mess up for like three years before Sony finally made it a console other than a “not Xbox One”.
@@arbernardo7554 even then it was the worst Infamous game, Killzone Shadow Fall (the worst KillZone game), and a full price remaster of the Last of Us were the only thing the PS4 had. Xbox One had Halo MCC, Sunset Overdrive, Forza Horizon 3, and Rare Replay in that same time
I have the PS5 for a year and pretty much everything is outstanding. The UI, the controller, 3D audio, fast loading times, ....the best console by far. Also I own a series X too but think that the UI on that one is pretty cheap and boring! They could do so much better!
Xbox series X is basically an Xbox one X 2.0. Same UI BS and same controller that still requieres batteries. Batteries on a controller back in 2013 was just insulting to modern day gaming.
Love your videos man! You should consider making more of those video game documentaries. I really love binging those 20-30 minute videos it’s so entertaining and interesting
My family has had our PS5 for about a month now and there no complaints here! It's an absolute dream to use and play on. I love the controller the most. It fits in my hands perfectly. The only downside I would say it about the controller, and that is the triggers do hurt my hands on trigger heavy games after a while. My hands have gotten kind weak lately and it makes it a bit hard... But a short break from playing gets my hands back to normal again for a bit. 😁
Man, when I got my PS5 disc, I could not believe how fast it was! GTA V PS5 edition felt sooooo smooth and like real life. Fifa 22 feels smooth to, and backwards compatibility feels really nice. Overall, it really feels next gen.
I have been loving it so far, it is my second favorite console of all time after the ps2. The user interface, how consistent they are with next gen games that utilizes the power of the console, how silent it is are just a few of many reasons I love it, it is currently the best console to own rn.
As someone that's just passed onto the ps5 I have to say it's all round better, it's faster, quieter and generously sprinkles free or near free updates to ps5 upgrades
The only thing I dislike about it is the profile customization and that there are currently no themes. The ps4 had way better profile customization imo, and a lot of the themes are incredible.
Dual sense doesn't make a difference to me, I get no immersion from it, and still waiting for an actual good PS5 Exclusive, Demon's Souls and Returnal was good.
As a trophy hunter and super OCD person who likes to organize everything I like my PS4 just as much as my PS5.. The folders and organizing and being able to load up small retro and indie or platinum trophy hunting games directly from a harddrive as well as the space issues with that.. Even my 2tb ssd was filled up immediately.. bummer... I buy over 100s of games a year and that's going to always suck until they change that... I like that some platinums roll over because of the weird era we are stuck in and I like some things about my ps5 better but I have BOTH plugged into my t.v. and ready to go at all times and each has an external 8tb wd black harddrive filled up with games plugged in and ready to play so I like having both so I never have to switch out my harddrives, just load up the other system.. But I do still load up and have my ps4 on just as much as my ps5 to Date and like my ps4 theme WAY more at the time being!!
So far I am actually preferring Xbox Series and Switch personally. That being said, I still really enjoy the PS5 as well. I especially can’t wait for insomniacs upcoming titles. Xbox and switch I spend more playtime on overall, but something about the PS5 sometimes, I just sit down, start it, and it just feels great. It’s cool to see all the brands being successful this general
6:08 - I had the same thoughts with not only the PS5, but also the Xbox Series X|S. I'm enjoying the backwards compatibility on both systems and I hope PS5 expands beyond PS4 games.
The backwards compatibility is the main reason I wanted a PS5 over a PS4. I get everything I want in a PS4 and I get a foot in the door for anything PS5 related.
The PS3/Xbox 360 were very unique for their time. I miss being able to use any picture you have for a theme or burn CD's and store music/movies on the console. These on top of many others are cool features of the PS3 and Xbox 360 that are unfortunately dead forever.
Very true. Those were great features at the time. But, expect fot themes, they are not relevant for the majority of players anymore. Most people stream visual and audio media and PS4 and all current gen consoles are great for that. Will miss themes, though, if I ever get my hands on a PS5.
I've had my PS5, since day one and it's easily my second favourite console. My favourite obviously is the PS2. However, I've had numerous problems with it. Firstly, I do have stick drift, on my duelsense. Although, it's very minor. Completely unnoticeable when playing. The only reason I know I have it is because of the lock picking segments in Judgement. It's very difficult to complete them, as the stick spazzes out on screen, which is very frustrating. Speaking of the analog stick, on the left thumbstick some of the rubber has peeled off, on the top right. My problems relating to the console are as follows. A laggy UI, way too many button presses to message someone, my console underperforming in games, like Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered and Miles Morales, as in I get frame drops and stutters, which I've seen no one else encounter. And finally, the biggest issue of them all, my disc drive is broken. The disc likes to frequently get stuck in the console when attempting to eject it and it starts making this loud ticking noise. The best way to solve this problem is to grab another disc, shove it in there, wiggle it around a bit and then the disc ejects. Thankfully, as blu ray and UHD blu ray discs are very durable, they don't scratch. Although the disc is very hot, when it comes out of the console, but I think that's normal.
I've been very curious why my ps5 is so inconsistent. Sometimes the same game runs very smooth and looks like native 4k ultra settings, other times the game looks like sub 720p lowest settings. It's so disgusting. I hope this is not the work of smart shift. Most of my ps4 games run worse on the ps5 than it did on my ps4 pro.
I really look after my stuff, keep them clean, don't rage or throw things etc, but my controller's L2 button is broken, the spring went while i was playing Uncharted of all things, the left stick is wearing and the right stick has drift. In roughly a year. My PS4 controllers were used far more often and are still flawless. The battery life is also trash on the Dual Sense. I get 6 hours if I'm lucky, and that's from full with everything turned off/down lowest, even with my not broken one. I also find it too big and heavy and I get fatigue in my hands from using it, but I could play 15 hours straight with the PS4 controller with no extra charge needed and no pain. To each their own but I'm not a fan, and I don't appreciate needing to replace controllers so quickly either.
Yeah, your PS5 is definitely semi fucked 😂 You need to send it back to Sony or exchange it where you bought it (though that's unlikely due to the Stock Issues obviously)
The new Psplus extra is gonna give me Death Stranding, Ghost of Tsushima and Spider Man miles morales. I just got the console last month what more could I desire
Yeah I agree that you should probably wait … I went ahead I got one because my ps4 crapped out and to get a new or even refurbished one I would pay almost as much as I did for a new ps5 (it was scratched when the packaging got damaged). The trigger system is incredible
Folders needs to happen. Having only 10 or so icons on the home screen (half of which are the store, what's new, ps now, ps plus, etc) taking up space is really annoying.
The only thing I find disappointing so far is how poor the PS5 is for streaming and 4K movies. It still doesn't support Dolby Vision and the Disney+ app isn't even 4K capable. For gaming it's great (and I know that's all most people care about), but as a movie fan you'll have to go to other platforms if you want the best quality.
Cyberpunk 2077 looks totally different on PS5, it utilizes DualSense features, 3D audio and it also uses Trophy card hint feature. Control is another game that looks amazing on PS5, there are a lot benefits for owning a PS5 I hope it becomes more available so others can enjoy it as well.
PS3 generation was truly special, a masterclass or single player and multiplayer experiences that can never truly be replicated. PS4 generation was rough, a lot of mistakes made by developers that took almost the entire generation to learn from. PS5 has been great so far, promising games on the horizon and great games so far, great controller and a generational leap in loading times, and let’s not forget backwards compatibility!
@@RedDeadRevolver Comparing the PS3 and the PS4, I think it depends on whether you primarily play 1st or 3rd party games. On the PS3, 3rd party games often struggled due to the complexity of the CELL processor. On the other hand, Sony was much more prolific with regards to AAA 1st party titles during the PS3 generation (Uncharted 1-3, Killzone 2 & 3, Resistance 1-3, The Last of Us, Infamous...). Buggy and unfinished games on the PS4 is not an issue related to that specific console, but merely a reflection of a general trend within the entire industry to "Ship Now, Patch Later". I'd argue that the PS4 version of 3rd party games was generally the least buggy version, something that probably was due to the fact tha the PS4 had the largest player base, and therefore received the most amount of playtesting!
After having my PS5 for over a year now I have to say that compared to the last generation I am very meh 😐 about this whole videogame console (Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo) generation. It could be that I am just not that much into videogames as I once was or that there aren't many titles that interest me. I will say that the thing that impresses me the most is the load times, but beyond that these systems don't excite me as they once did.
@@alanramirogarcia2886 Its just slighty better than ps4 pro not a big difference. Not really next gen like most people say, first ofc it had to be faster than ps4 pro bcz of ssd technology and younger processor and gpu thats it, but its not a next gen like must kids say, for example ps1 to ps2 huge diference and ps2 to ps3 huge difference also, ps3 to ps4 just a little difference also ps4 pro to ps5 just miniimum differenc
I think what makes the PS5 more compelling than the PS4 is having backwards compatibility, so your not leaving behind your entire library. Unlike with the transition with PS3 to PS4, PS5 can seamlessly (for the most part) read PS4 discs. And so, if customers can’t afford the $70 titles, they can wait for the sale and in the meantime purchase/experience the vast library that’s still at large with the PS4.
No console is perfect, but I have very few complaints about PS5. Game startup, reload, and fast travel time reduction alone made it worth the purchase price for me.
PS5 feels much more like "next gen" than PS4 did in 2013 imo. Only thing PS4 had going for it was much better graphics than PS3, but that's it. PS5 has better graphics, plus faster loading, wayyy better controller, very quiet console, etc. Not to disparage the PS4 improvements. I remember being in awe when playing the PT demo in 2014 with those graphics. PS5 just feels like a better all-rounder when it comes to upgrades. My only real issue is backwards compatibility with PS3, but that's become a PlayStation as a whole issue and not specifically PS5.
The PS5 really is a great console. Pretty much every game looks amazing and plays well too. Some of the exclusives aren't for me, but there are so many good ones from Sony and 3rd parties. I've found myself being more of a PC player these days, but luckily my capture card negates that problem. I'm just glad I have one and got it at launch without going through a scalper.
Completely agree. It's win-win for me because it's all gains with no losses. I can still access my entire PS4 library and in some cases have an even better experience with them. I was always a fan of the new UI as well.
I fully agree, I've had the PS5 for 1,5 years as well and it's a blast. Not only native PS5 titles, but also PS4 titles that had an upgrade path with more fps, graphical improvement, etc. I actually notice the 60FPS. The first time I loaded up Warzone on my PS5, that game changed by 1000% for me. Being able to have 60FPS in Warzone, as opposed to 30 on the PS4, just WOW. And I know that Warzone isn't the best example, but that was the first game I booted up to play with some friends.
But what about the lack of First-Party Japanese games? I miss niche games like Gravity Rush 2, Freedom Wars, Everybody’s Golf, etc. Every prominent Japanese game is leaving Sony for Nintendo. Ni No Kuni, 13 Sentinels, Deadly Premonition 2, and more, these games started on PlayStation but are now being moved to Nintendo systems. It feels like I made a mistake choosing PlayStation as my primary console of choice because I don’t enjoy the “new” Sony’s output like The Last of Us Part II, Returnal, Horizon Forbidden West, etc.
Finally a voice of reason in the comments section. Idk what Ryan is smoking but PS5 is weak, and without Japan Studio, Sony is like a car without wheels. More "cinematic" third person games? 🥱 Yawn. No thanks.
I got my PS4 in December of 2020 and ended up getting a PS5 December 2021 and just the load times and more consistent 60 fps is such difference. I only use my PS4 to play games that don't support cross Gen play until my homie upgrades to PS5.
Coming from someone that owned a PS4 at launch I loved how good the graphics were in the new games as well as the new controller but after awhile I hated it. I got bored of the games pretty quickly and I'm sure my dad this as well since he always wanted to use the PS3 meaning I had to use the PS4. Though fast forward to September 2021 which is when I bought the ps5 the only time I went back to play my PS4 is to jailbreak it and after playing through bully and finishing it I've yet to use my PS4. The fact that I can play all the games I played on PS4 on ps5 is amazing so I'm quite happy with it
Jump from ps4 to os5 is a little bit uderwelming imo, graphics at this point are very similar and it's exciting. But I do think overall the ps5 is like a better model of ps4, almost everything improved so if you don't own a pc or if you had your ps3 since the beginning it's definitely worth the update.
It’s becoming more about the controller experience and carrying on with fantastic exclusives; but with 4x the res and graphics upgrades. System is so cool
People are also starting to wake up to the horrendous business practices the major publishers have been using in the industry and finally getting sick of games being released broken and lacking content. I think we're entering a gaming renaissance where Indi games will thrive and bigger publishers will be forced to start putting more effort into their games. because people aren't having it anymore. Three of the biggest gaming franchises of all time: Halo, Cod and Battlefield, all failed and are being called out for their bs. Here's to an awesome generation 🤞
I like that it's dead silent all the time, which is a good thing. Astros Playroom and Assassin's Creed Valhalla were the first PS5 games I ever played I have been playing Control Ultimate Edition recently, and it's an excellent game. It truly is best on PlayStation 5 over original PlayStation 4 version. I am excited for the native PS5 version of Resident Evil 2 Remake soon
It took Horizon Zero Dawn to get me to buy a PS4, I bought a PS5 day 1. I agree with all your points. The PS5 is an all around more appealing package for me.
recently went on my ps3 its easily still the best UI by a mile. would like themes and folders back on the ps5. The ps5 needs its Bloodborne moment that fresh game that everyone wanted to try and I dont see any game like that at the moment for the ps5.
I got the ps5 in October.. And I'd say the honeymoon period just started to fade this week for me.. I've been playing sooo much on it.. Before the ps5 the last game I finished was rdr2 on its release.. Since I got it I've finished miles morales, spiderman, ghost of tsushima, Ac valhalla, God of war 2018, I'm 30 hours into persona 5, 10 into cyberpunk.. I think that's it but I feel like there's more..
The PS5 is worth it for the QOL improvements you get from playing PS4 games alone. Games run at their targeted frame rate with absolutely no drops, loads quicker by a huge margin, and best of all, the console doesn't sound like a plane turbine even with the most demanding games. It's what the PS4 Pro should've been
That's what I have been saying. The main reason I got the PS5 was literally because it was a PS4 upgrade. Literally no downside to the PS5 compared to the PS4.
Let's until 6 years to see if ps5 becomes a jet taking off with its last games
Good on the game side but disappointing everywhere ells. No internet browser. No proper media player.
I literally sourced a PS5 to play Uncharted and The Last of Us series at 60FPS in their entirety (at least at this point in time). One thing you mentioned, which is definitely true, is that the console is very quiet. I've been playing The Last of Us Part II at 60FPS (absolutely night and day to 30FPS) and I can't even hear the PS5 running.
I completely skipped ps4. Getting the ps5 with the backwards compat has been awesome
PS5 has been great for me so far. Enjoying the updates and a lot of the games releasing!

Let's hope for the best. 🤞
It's the quality of life, the loading of everything, it's not the initial going forward to Ps5 that impressed me, it was actually going back to ps4 that Ps5 impressed me. How bad everything looks, and how slow everything loads.
@@nextgengaming7803 I can for sure agree with that!
One of the biggest reasons I'm happy to own a PS5 is how prevalent and ubiquitous the 60 FPS framerate target has become. It has incredibly quickly become the industry standard, and as somebody who used to think it wasn't that big of a deal, I've been converted completely. 60 FPS is incredibly important to gamefeel and smoothness of the image.
I'll also say, sure, if you wait the console will become cheaper, in like 3 or 4 years, and only by $100. You wouldn't pay $100 to have a PS5 4 years early? If you spend much of your time gaming I don't see how that's so much of a compelling trade off. People spend $1000 on their phones. Gaming consoles aren't even expensive relative to other technologies.
I agree completely, 60fps is a game changer
I love your name and profile pic
Same. I've mostly been a PC gamer but I still love PS exclusives. I love how they're targeting 60fps more and more lately.
60FPS was always the industry standard, most of the biggest ps2 games were 60fps ffs. Its because Sony and Microsoft both cheaped out last 2 generations. PC is industry standard quality, consoles are usually below that. Also, it'll be 30fps when Unreal Engine 5 starts being utilized properly
60 fps should be standard and I get that experience on the PS5. I agree with your take!
You don’t notice as much of an upgrade from PS4 to PS5 because of the PS4 pro. Comparing base PS4 to PS5 is still quite a significant jump. Not as much as PS2 to PS3, but games are running at higher resolutions and at 60fps so a lot of the performance is getting directed towards those targets than just pure visuals
You really need the right tv really notice the difference, the same was sort of true with ps2 to ps3, when to begin with in the ps3 era we were all playing on crt tvs
Yes. I went from standard OG PS4 to PS5 and it definitely feels different. Still mostly playing my PS4 backlog though.
I would much prefer developers stuck to 1080p targets. Even with my huge 4K TV I would much prefer a more detailed, more physics intense game world than more pixels. You only have to compare a DVD movie to a 4K video game. DVDs are SD and 24-25fps and games can be 4K 60fps but the DVD is more photo realistic which I prefer.
@@theamazingmikelee9857 You wouldn't get more details but more physics i agree with
@@SC0RPI0NFURY Couldn't we push more geometry at lower resolutions?
I still don't have a PS5 yet but yeah the PS3 was the best Sony piece of hardware
I didn’t really like the PS4 generation as much as I liked the PS3 era, maybe because I am getting older. But I’m really excited for this generation and the upcoming games like Max Payne, Wolverine and Factions!
Wait how ps3 is garbage so why didn’t like the ps4 as much?
Wolverine is gunna be awesome.
@@ezyclapz1221 ps3 era of games was just different depending on the game company
What about Kingdom Hearts 4
@@ezyclapz1221 because the PS4 era is easily Sony’s worst era. PS2 being the best.
The only people who think the PS3 era is the worst are corporate simps who glance at sales figures and base their decisions on a console’s value solely based on that.
PS3 still had the Sony charm of the PS1 and PS2 era. PS4 was Sony ditching that to pander to the white teenage morons who beat off the Xbox 360. How many wonderful and quirky Japanese games did we get compared to the PS1-PS3 era? Very little.
Regarding PS4 sales figures, they aren’t all that impressive when you consider how absolutely laughable its competition was. For how terrible it was, the PS4 should have sold over 200 million consoles.
Just brought a ps4 for the first time. Your videos have been helpful
I feel like the PS3 era was my favorite and ps5 follows behind. The PS3 was not only a gaming upgrade from PS2 but the fact that I could play PS2 and Ps1 games download movies, music, themes, ui the PS3 could basically do all and was so customizable it’s still my fav console.
PS3 is definitely my favourite as well. Everything about it was a huge leap forward. Free multiplayer, HDD, bluray drive, PS Store, PS Home, XMB, 1080p, widescreen, Play TV, PS1 & 2 backwards compatibility, downloadable demos, themes, music library, video library, wireless controllers, motion controllers and that was even before you counted the graphical leap as well. Such a great console.
We'll never get a leap forward like that again.
I've been playing a lot of the free upgrade games i already platinumed. Most are just more shiny with haptic support. PS3 had ps home, and for me that was a whole game changer. i may not have gotten so into gaming had it not been for home. i always get excited when they talk about bringing it back. hope they do.
Ps home 👌🏻
The closest to PS Home we have currently is VR Chat, which can be played on a normal PC without a VR headset (I played PS Home a bit when it originally launched). I have been playing VR chat a bunch recently with the original Vive headset and enjoying the minigolf worlds. If you don't mind the kids, furries and edge lords then it's quite fun, and occasionally meet some cool people and have some awesome experiences. I was up till 3AM playing an escape room for 1 and half hours with a couple of random people I just met playing minigolf, some British guy and a Finnish girl, it was pretty cool.
Something like that would work well on PS I would think, although it would be a lot more closed off and moderated than VR Chat, which is like the wild west internet repackaged as a first person game. Some really good things, a lot of not so good, a lot of memes and half finished or amateur things but it has its charm.
Ps5 games are objectively better than ps3's
They run and look better and are more immersive
Next gen exclusives are groundbreaking
@@gamingenthusiast5450 not true. Just because a game has better graphics doesn't make it better. A good example is skyrim, can you name an rpg that is better in ps5 era. maybe the witcher 3 is as good, but again that's not ps5 era.
The PlayStation 5 is a great system. The fast loading, improved performance and increased emersion from the DualSense and 3D audio. It seems its good to develop and optimise for too apparently
This
I disagree. Yes the controller is great. As far as increased performance & load speed. I say, disappointing. It does next to nothing for PS4 games & PS5 games, it is quicker but not mind blowing. Also we only have 3 or 4 actual PS5 games. Most games available are PS4 games with 60 FPS & 4K if you want to run it at 30 FPS. Also, all the promised features that are still not available such as VRR.😐🙁 I bought mine because I felt pressured because it's difficult to find. Big mistake, wish I would have waited.😐🙁
@@kcapk1970 You are totally right

I got a PS5 finally a month ago and just got an HDR 4K TV yesterday for it. Im playing the PS4 Miles Morales with the PS5 upgrade and it looks amazing.

Ps2 is by far the best console they ever made. Games were simply way, way better. More risks taken, way more interesting and diverse games. IF the ps2 library is finally saved and available on ps5 then yeah sure ps5 is cool. In the meantime it’s not even a contest
@@nickl9317 I loved the PS2 aswell don't get me wrong..but the point the video making is that for the first year and half...out of the box so to speak...the games and content have been nothing sort of amazing...and we're only 1 year and half in the gen..imagine year 5,6,7 once the ps5 is really in it's stride....we'll be able to better compare then...but at the moment...I got a lot of stuff to play..not enough time
Absolutely zero regrets getting a PS5 at launch. (Yes, I was lucky enough to be able to in the first place.) I just can't go back to playing games at 30fps. I can't go back to long load times. And if I didn't get it, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to play my favorite game ever, Returnal.
Broadcast screen is the best feature I've ever seen on any gaming device. Which is saying a lot. Having a buddies live gameplay screen-in-screen is literally a game-changer. Playing Elden Ring with my brother, branching off to do our own things in the game, but still being able to see what he's up to is so damn cool. It makes cooperation so much easier when I can simply see what my brother is doing rather than having to have him describe it to me. He might as well be sitting next to me with his whole setup
PS5 is awesome, just hoping for PS3 backwards compatibility
I’ve had a 5 for almost two months now and I will definitely agree that the dual sense is pretty amazing. I know now why people were so surprised by the features. The first PS5 game I got was elden ring, so when I went to play returnal and Astro I was legitimately blown away by the technology.
Also really love that it’s basically a PS4. Very pleasing to be able to plug in the external ajd have the whole library there. Now I don’t feel bad that there were so many digital games I picked up and didn’t play during the PS4 era.
Although I still own a PS4 I transferred all my old games onto an external drive and play them on my PS5. The PS5 has more backward compatible games than any other current console.
Does elden ring not use the dualsense much? Or at all? I noticed GTA V uses the dualsense capabilities alot
@@jonathangarmuth8975 it does not

@@carlisle6831 GTA V is a ps3 game....
I usually wait till the slim Playstation comes out, but the PS5's backwards compatibility with all my PS4 games that I had yet to play, plus significantly reducing load times and steady 60fps sold me on getting one earlier. Transfered all my PS4 Pro games to my PS5 and sold my PS4 Pro, no regrets. Love my PS5.

I think it has quickly become one of my favourite consoles. As you said being able to play PS4 games at their peak performance is so good. It's essentially a PC the way it upscales to the specs.
Quite literally the only thing I miss from the ps4 is themes. Everything else, I'm happier on the ps5. Something about it feels so smooth and clean even just in the UI and the quick bar feature (I don't remember the official term for it, but when you hit the ps button in game and can see the cards and parties and whatnot).
This is very much just a subjective me issue, but I hated the dualshock. Compared to Xbox controllers, it felt so weird and uncomfortable to me. The dualsense is literally perfect for me, it's exactly what I wanted for a ps controller.

Xbox Series X is my game pass and emulation machine. PS5 is where I buy my games. I'm very happy with both.
Between the availability and price of HDMI 2.1 displays, M.2 storage and PS5s, it's gonna be a years before I even try to buy a PS5 for the small library it has.
One thing I seriously miss about the PS4 though is the Ui and the Theme system I felt were far better I really loved having my game library organised in folders and the close up boxed squares were you could see the artwork clearly was really nice.
I kinda feel like the PS5 lost some of that charm by trying to mimic the switch.
I'm normally a late adopter, but I knew that was for the best once I saw how large the PS5 was going to be. I'm pretty excited to see what the PS5 slim looks like.
I'm going to keep it a 💯 what I miss from the PS3 video chat like that was really cool it's crazy how they didn't bring that feature to the PS4 or the PS5
I'm excited for next year! We're getting PSVR2 and many great games!
I don't think many people understand how significant of a jump from PS4 to PS5 is in terms of clarity, resolution, and playability. Comparing screenshots of games between the both hardly do it justice and honestly the PS4 is holding back progress of making games more feature rich. It really sucks that PS5s STILL are not widely available because if it was, we'd see games taking advantage of said hardware much more. I remember the transition from PS3 to PS4, same with Xbox, being pretty sudden in terms of a lot of studios choosing to be "next gen" only. With that said, Sony really needs a way of removing the FPS cap and boosting the resolution like what MS is doing with their new consoles. It goes a long way when you can make last gen games look better without dev input.
I HAVE PS4 AND PS3 🔥😂
I just brought my first ps4 yesterday. I was still playing my PS3🙃
The biggest issue of the ps4/xb1 generation is loading times, that alone is worth the jump to ps5/series X|S and the dualsense is fantastic
This was what I thought wad the case too, in my eyes it seemed like the ps2 to the 3 was not much of a loading time difference for a few games then the 4s was quite samey and then 5 just whoosh lol like a huge jump from load times and the dual senses triggers is just absolutely amazing especially on Resi 8 loved the feeling trying to pull trigger of a magnum 😍 can't wait for the ps5 upgrades to come out of 2 3 an 7 to see what they do with them.

I absolutely love my ps5. Play it everyday. I never had a ps4 so my backlog is pretty long at this moment and I’m able to catch-up on a lot of games that I’ve always wanted to play. The only issue I’ve had was the rest mode bug where my console would not turn back on after coming out of rest mode. It’s happened 4 times in the past 5 months since I’ve had it and hasn’t happened for awhile so I believe it’s been fixed. 🤞🏻 the locked 60fps on games has spoiled me. Lol when I play my Xbox one, all the games just look choppy as hell.
I agree with the console transitioning, transitioning from PS4 to PS5 is a lot better than transitioning from PS3 to PS4
It being backwards compatible with the previous generation already makes me like it more than I did with the ps4 when it was new.
In the end what matters most to me with a console is the games that are on it, which is why I loved the PS4 so much. So many of my favorite games of all time came to PS4, and many of them were also exclusive, and because the PS5 can play all PS4 games, and play them better, it immediately becomes like a PS4 2 in my eyes

Even my 2tb ssd was filled up immediately.. bummer... I buy over 100s of games a year and that's going to always suck until they change that...

So far I am actually preferring Xbox Series and Switch personally. That being said, I still really enjoy the PS5 as well. I especially can’t wait for insomniacs upcoming titles.
Xbox and switch I spend more playtime on overall, but something about the PS5 sometimes, I just sit down, start it, and it just feels great. It’s cool to see all the brands being successful this general

The backwards compatibility is the main reason I wanted a PS5 over a PS4. I get everything I want in a PS4 and I get a foot in the door for anything PS5 related.
The thing ive been saying to anyone that always asks why i got it at launch... 80% of my reason of getting PS5 at release was the *SPEED.*
The PS3/Xbox 360 were very unique for their time. I miss being able to use any picture you have for a theme or burn CD's and store music/movies on the console. These on top of many others are cool features of the PS3 and Xbox 360 that are unfortunately dead forever.
Very true. Those were great features at the time. But, expect fot themes, they are not relevant for the majority of players anymore. Most people stream visual and audio media and PS4 and all current gen consoles are great for that. Will miss themes, though, if I ever get my hands on a PS5.
I've had my PS5, since day one and it's easily my second favourite console. My favourite obviously is the PS2. However, I've had numerous problems with it. Firstly, I do have stick drift, on my duelsense. Although, it's very minor. Completely unnoticeable when playing. The only reason I know I have it is because of the lock picking segments in Judgement. It's very difficult to complete them, as the stick spazzes out on screen, which is very frustrating. Speaking of the analog stick, on the left thumbstick some of the rubber has peeled off, on the top right.
My problems relating to the console are as follows. A laggy UI, way too many button presses to message someone, my console underperforming in games, like Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered and Miles Morales, as in I get frame drops and stutters, which I've seen no one else encounter. And finally, the biggest issue of them all, my disc drive is broken. The disc likes to frequently get stuck in the console when attempting to eject it and it starts making this loud ticking noise. The best way to solve this problem is to grab another disc, shove it in there, wiggle it around a bit and then the disc ejects. Thankfully, as blu ray and UHD blu ray discs are very durable, they don't scratch. Although the disc is very hot, when it comes out of the console, but I think that's normal.
Dang dude that really sucks. It sounds like you got a bad one!
I've got drift on two of my controllers, just opened them up and cleaned with a electronic cleaner spray and they are brand new again.
I've been very curious why my ps5 is so inconsistent. Sometimes the same game runs very smooth and looks like native 4k ultra settings, other times the game looks like sub 720p lowest settings. It's so disgusting. I hope this is not the work of smart shift. Most of my ps4 games run worse on the ps5 than it did on my ps4 pro.
I really look after my stuff, keep them clean, don't rage or throw things etc, but my controller's L2 button is broken, the spring went while i was playing Uncharted of all things, the left stick is wearing and the right stick has drift. In roughly a year. My PS4 controllers were used far more often and are still flawless. The battery life is also trash on the Dual Sense. I get 6 hours if I'm lucky, and that's from full with everything turned off/down lowest, even with my not broken one. I also find it too big and heavy and I get fatigue in my hands from using it, but I could play 15 hours straight with the PS4 controller with no extra charge needed and no pain. To each their own but I'm not a fan, and I don't appreciate needing to replace controllers so quickly either.
Yeah, your PS5 is definitely semi fucked 😂 You need to send it back to Sony or exchange it where you bought it (though that's unlikely due to the Stock Issues obviously)
The new Psplus extra is gonna give me Death Stranding, Ghost of Tsushima and Spider Man miles morales. I just got the console last month what more could I desire
Yeah I agree that you should probably wait … I went ahead I got one because my ps4 crapped out and to get a new or even refurbished one I would pay almost as much as I did for a new ps5 (it was scratched when the packaging got damaged). The trigger system is incredible
If only they added themes and folders then ps5 would be perfect. Even though i don't have ps5 i can't wait to get my hands on it
Folders needs to happen. Having only 10 or so icons on the home screen (half of which are the store, what's new, ps now, ps plus, etc) taking up space is really annoying.
The only thing I find disappointing so far is how poor the PS5 is for streaming and 4K movies. It still doesn't support Dolby Vision and the Disney+ app isn't even 4K capable. For gaming it's great (and I know that's all most people care about), but as a movie fan you'll have to go to other platforms if you want the best quality.
Just use your Smart TV's app to do so. PS5 is great for 4K UHD discs though.
@@DP12321 The 4K drive is good, but even that cannot play Dolby Vision.
@@SuperJumper40 Wtf? Xbox has supported it since last year.
Just another example of how rushed and incomplete PS5 is 😤
Its a solid system and looks so modern and loads extremely fast like never before seen. I liked the ps4 pro alot but this just takes it to new heights
Cyberpunk 2077 looks totally different on PS5, it utilizes DualSense features, 3D audio and it also uses Trophy card hint feature. Control is another game that looks amazing on PS5, there are a lot benefits for owning a PS5 I hope it becomes more available so others can enjoy it as well.
PS3 generation was truly special, a masterclass or single player and multiplayer experiences that can never truly be replicated. PS4 generation was rough, a lot of mistakes made by developers that took almost the entire generation to learn from. PS5 has been great so far, promising games on the horizon and great games so far, great controller and a generational leap in loading times, and let’s not forget backwards compatibility!
@@RedDeadRevolver and I completely disagree! Ps3 was the worst, ps4 had better games in my opinion. But to each their own. 🤷🏽♂️

@@RedDeadRevolver the walking Sims WAS the AAA games
@@RedDeadRevolver Comparing the PS3 and the PS4, I think it depends on whether you primarily play 1st or 3rd party games. On the PS3, 3rd party games often struggled due to the complexity of the CELL processor. On the other hand, Sony was much more prolific with regards to AAA 1st party titles during the PS3 generation (Uncharted 1-3, Killzone 2 & 3, Resistance 1-3, The Last of Us, Infamous...).
Buggy and unfinished games on the PS4 is not an issue related to that specific console, but merely a reflection of a general trend within the entire industry to "Ship Now, Patch Later". I'd argue that the PS4 version of 3rd party games was generally the least buggy version, something that probably was due to the fact tha the PS4 had the largest player base, and therefore received the most amount of playtesting!
Ps4 era was much better than ps3.
After having my PS5 for over a year now I have to say that compared to the last generation I am very meh 😐 about this whole videogame console (Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo) generation. It could be that I am just not that much into videogames as I once was or that there aren't many titles that interest me. I will say that the thing that impresses me the most is the load times, but beyond that these systems don't excite me as they once did.
I agree 100% with your comment👍
do you have a good TV?. the jump from 1080p to 4k is really huge
@@alanramirogarcia2886 Its just slighty better than ps4 pro not a big difference. Not really next gen like most people say, first ofc it had to be faster than ps4 pro bcz of ssd technology and younger processor and gpu thats it, but its not a next gen like must kids say, for example ps1 to ps2 huge diference and ps2 to ps3 huge difference also, ps3 to ps4 just a little difference also ps4 pro to ps5 just miniimum differenc
Literally every exclusive is a totally separate genre what you on about? So meh… right man 😂
@@ztvztv1 fACTS..THEY DOIN THAT APPLE IPHONE SCHEME
I think what makes the PS5 more compelling than the PS4 is having backwards compatibility, so your not leaving behind your entire library.
Unlike with the transition with PS3 to PS4, PS5 can seamlessly (for the most part) read PS4 discs. And so, if customers can’t afford the $70 titles, they can wait for the sale and in the meantime purchase/experience the vast library that’s still at large with the PS4.
The reduced fan noise is the only reason I needed. Everything else is icing on the cake.
Ps5 besides slow pace on the new releases is exactly what we need and the PS4 backwards compatibility really helps the transition just feels great
No console is perfect, but I have very few complaints about PS5.
Game startup, reload, and fast travel time reduction alone made it worth the purchase price for me.
Not having folders or other means of customizing the main menu is my only complaint. My ONLY one...so that makes me realize how much I love the PS5
PS5 feels much more like "next gen" than PS4 did in 2013 imo. Only thing PS4 had going for it was much better graphics than PS3, but that's it. PS5 has better graphics, plus faster loading, wayyy better controller, very quiet console, etc.
Not to disparage the PS4 improvements. I remember being in awe when playing the PT demo in 2014 with those graphics. PS5 just feels like a better all-rounder when it comes to upgrades.
My only real issue is backwards compatibility with PS3, but that's become a PlayStation as a whole issue and not specifically PS5.
Your mystic intro is beautiful especially that sound effect it makes
1,5 years and still unavailable👍
The PS5 really is a great console. Pretty much every game looks amazing and plays well too. Some of the exclusives aren't for me, but there are so many good ones from Sony and 3rd parties. I've found myself being more of a PC player these days, but luckily my capture card negates that problem. I'm just glad I have one and got it at launch without going through a scalper.
Completely agree. It's win-win for me because it's all gains with no losses. I can still access my entire PS4 library and in some cases have an even better experience with them. I was always a fan of the new UI as well.
I fully agree, I've had the PS5 for 1,5 years as well and it's a blast. Not only native PS5 titles, but also PS4 titles that had an upgrade path with more fps, graphical improvement, etc. I actually notice the 60FPS.
The first time I loaded up Warzone on my PS5, that game changed by 1000% for me. Being able to have 60FPS in Warzone, as opposed to 30 on the PS4, just WOW. And I know that Warzone isn't the best example, but that was the first game I booted up to play with some friends.
I haven't been able to enjoy because I can't get my hands on one
But what about the lack of First-Party Japanese games? I miss niche games like Gravity Rush 2, Freedom Wars, Everybody’s Golf, etc. Every prominent Japanese game is leaving Sony for Nintendo. Ni No Kuni, 13 Sentinels, Deadly Premonition 2, and more, these games started on PlayStation but are now being moved to Nintendo systems. It feels like I made a mistake choosing PlayStation as my primary console of choice because I don’t enjoy the “new” Sony’s output like The Last of Us Part II, Returnal, Horizon Forbidden West, etc.
Finally a voice of reason in the comments section.
Idk what Ryan is smoking but PS5 is weak, and without Japan Studio, Sony is like a car without wheels.
More "cinematic" third person games? 🥱 Yawn. No thanks.
I got my PS4 in December of 2020 and ended up getting a PS5 December 2021 and just the load times and more consistent 60 fps is such difference. I only use my PS4 to play games that don't support cross Gen play until my homie upgrades to PS5.
Coming from someone that owned a PS4 at launch I loved how good the graphics were in the new games as well as the new controller but after awhile I hated it.
I got bored of the games pretty quickly and I'm sure my dad this as well since he always wanted to use the PS3 meaning I had to use the PS4.
Though fast forward to September 2021 which is when I bought the ps5 the only time I went back to play my PS4 is to jailbreak it and after playing through bully and finishing it I've yet to use my PS4.
The fact that I can play all the games I played on PS4 on ps5 is amazing so I'm quite happy with it
Jump from ps4 to os5 is a little bit uderwelming imo, graphics at this point are very similar and it's exciting. But I do think overall the ps5 is like a better model of ps4, almost everything improved so if you don't own a pc or if you had your ps3 since the beginning it's definitely worth the update.
It’s becoming more about the controller experience and carrying on with fantastic exclusives; but with 4x the res and graphics upgrades. System is so cool
People are also starting to wake up to the horrendous business practices the major publishers have been using in the industry and finally getting sick of games being released broken and lacking content. I think we're entering a gaming renaissance where Indi games will thrive and bigger publishers will be forced to start putting more effort into their games. because people aren't having it anymore. Three of the biggest gaming franchises of all time: Halo, Cod and Battlefield, all failed and are being called out for their bs. Here's to an awesome generation 🤞
Elden Ring?
I remember the gaming drought of 2013-2014. Tough times
I never planning on buying a ps5 1 year after it’s release but I got a email to buy them and had to buy and it was worth it😌
I like that it's dead silent all the time, which is a good thing. Astros Playroom and Assassin's Creed Valhalla were the first PS5 games I ever played
I have been playing Control Ultimate Edition recently, and it's an excellent game. It truly is best on PlayStation 5 over original PlayStation 4 version. I am excited for the native PS5 version of Resident Evil 2 Remake soon
Better on PC though
@@ammanus356 I have a HP Stream laptop
Loving the PS5 so far. Probably one of my favorite consoles ever. Sure the Series X is great, but I noticed I've been playing my 5 over my XSX.
I'm loving my ps5 , the user interface and the graphical upgrade and the controller gameplay is amazing.
Finally some positive ps5 coverage
It took Horizon Zero Dawn to get me to buy a PS4, I bought a PS5 day 1. I agree with all your points. The PS5 is an all around more appealing package for me.

recently went on my ps3 its easily still the best UI by a mile. would like themes and folders back on the ps5. The ps5 needs its Bloodborne moment that fresh game that everyone wanted to try and I dont see any game like that at the moment for the ps5.

I got the ps5 in October.. And I'd say the honeymoon period just started to fade this week for me.. I've been playing sooo much on it.. Before the ps5 the last game I finished was rdr2 on its release.. Since I got it I've finished miles morales, spiderman, ghost of tsushima, Ac valhalla, God of war 2018, I'm 30 hours into persona 5, 10 into cyberpunk.. I think that's it but I feel like there's more..
I 100% agree! I was finally able to get one about 3 weeks ago now and I love it. Especially for the 60+ fps
