I really hate this. Sitting here with a dedicated home theater and ps5 didn't support the only spatial audio format anyone cares about. It does not seem possible to get it to AV receivers via bitstream, and via pcm would have to somehow turn 7.1 into a 5.1.2 signal...maybe, but thats not even close to what atmos or even dts x has. I hate headphones, and this sucks, bigtime. What the hell am I suppose to do, buy a Sony AVR next year when I just got my dream preamp? Not sure what pisses me off more, this or the lack of Dolby vision. Thanks for the $200 apple tv 4k and $400 4k bluray I had to buy because you're using an HDR format from 2016. POS has me pissed off enough to get an Xbox, which I really do not want to do. They are totally screwing over AV enthusiasts. You cannot use the ps5 as a multimedia hub in your room. The streaming has no atmos or vision, movies have no atmos. It would all be acceptable if they planned to bring Dolby vision support for games...or had spatial audio for games(not for headsets, nobody cares about headsets), and actually had VRR on a system level. How hard would it have been to get your AMD gpu verified by AMD to get freesync support for people with monitors without hdmi 2.1 or just want VRR on all the time, as oppose to the hdmi 2.1 VRR that will be used by pretty much what...a couple games. Garbage. Doesnt do anything for the low frame rate stutter I'm getting in 2k right now. ON A PS5. Devs will always push the system. There will always be frame drops. We need vrr on a system level. And you don't even have it at launch on a game by game basis either.
So basically, Xbox did EVERYTHING right, besides the fact they have 0 games and a controller I don't want to deal with, and you take us all for granted so much that you didn't bother with any of it. I could not be more pissed at the PS5, and more generally, Sony overall, for the way they handled 2020. Dropped the ball in every way. Only one Sony tv even has 4k-120 and its buried in the menu. How the hell do you let that happen. VRR on no tvs and maybe available in future firmware on the x900h. Shows how much they think of these features. The ps5 doesn't have half the features the Xbox one x had and its literally driving me nuts. No 1440p resolution available either? Do you hate everyone, Sony? Wtf is wrong with you?
Now, im going to continue my game in mycareer in nba2k20, to have the screen tear every time I shoot the ball, or the crowd tear every time I go back on defense. Audio sounds good with headphones. Headphones are for chat, Sony. You did nothing. Why can I not even select a format that makes any use of my elevation speakers when these spatial audio formats have been out for 6 years?? And Mark Cornyn straight lied about atmos to make tempest sound better. Atmos doesn't have 32 spatial points...atmos is made for 32 speakers. Atmos doesn't use channels it uses potentially hundreds of spatial points and will have whatever channels you have send the audio to that area, after you've calibrated your room for your main listening position. Tell me how the hell a ps5 is going to decode all this and send it out via pcm?? They aren't going to. Theyre going to add a firmware update and make us spend $2,000 bucks on a receiver next year that does half of what my receiver does now
