I’d really like to know if it has any sort of Quick Resume feature like the Series X, and if not how fast is it to swap games? That are on the SSD and not blue ray.
The game looks more and more stunning every time you see it! But it’s not so much how quick you can restart, it’s how tough will it be to make you die? Will you be seeing these fast restarts consistently?
Sony’s resources were all out into the PS5 new UI, they gave the job of redesigning the web interface to the janitor....I hate no titles under the icons and no screenshots or videos.
@Subsided Well in the U.K. on streaming services, Cineworld is closing all its cinemas globally including the U.K., I wouldn’t want to go anywhere near a cinema for some time yet! Apple apparently are interested in buying the new James Bind film to screen, and Amazon will be screening that new disaster film Greenland that was meant to be a summer blockbuster but has never made it to the big screens. So expect a film like this and others to be on streaming services, or delayed until 2022.
I have to say he doesn’t suite the character, his face is just too dissimilar to Drakes. Will be an interesting film see if it’s half decent, but as it’s based on a game like every other film that has been I won’t hold my breath...
Oh look it’s got a GPS so the ‘athletes’ can track their movements from the bathroom to their bedrooms and back again, oh and let’s not forget the kitchen and fridge...
Well, unless new games engines prove otherwise, it seems the PS5 may be incapable of 4K 60 with ray tracing, so in that case we should have 1440p checker boarding to 4K 60 with ray tracing.
Reports like that remind me why it’s such a shame the PS5 Digital looks far better then the disk based version.... I have to agree I do seem to recall through the PS4’s history it has been the same titles (noticeably first party ones) going on sale under different theme umbrellas. Gotta say on the Xbox they don’t do that and offer other games too. With Gamepass though Sony had better change their tune in the new gen as they possibly may lose some developers to the dark side....
@DaruniaJones88 In your situation you could get the PS5 digital edition and then wait for games to go sale in the store? That may be the best option for you?
@Col_McCafferty To me only Naughty Dog are good at storylines, I find Horizons story to be flat and boring by comparison, it doesn’t have the spells the ND games do with their writing, so in that case I do actually find some Xbox games surpass Sonys story’s. Of course opinions will be varied on that.
@Balosi I’m so impressed with BOTH companies I am struggling to decide which console to buy, that’s how good to me Xbox are now, but to me they also had great games with Forza and Gears Of War, Sonys games for a bit stale towards the end feeling like the over the shoulder story simulators they are. Feeling a bit samey. So I’m not pessimistic at all about either company.
@Balosi Not to the same value though, not just for PlayStation anyway have they? A lot of Sony’s key players were there from the very start, indeed the CEO of Polyphony began his career by being the note taker at all of Sony’s PlayStation meetings in its very early beginnings.
@TheFrenchiestFry Absolutely, I applaud him for what he’s achieved. Especially with the idea of GamePass. It will certainly be a closer race this time. I’m also interested to see what their new AAA studio The Initiative makes especially with all the ex Naughty Dog employees they’ve hired.
@Balosi You misread my comment, I was referring to how Sony has concentrated on exclusive games since day one of PlayStation. Although I see more and more of them coming to PC.
That must be 9 exclusives at launch, 9!! Microsoft has one if The Medium is a lunch game for the Series X and S..... it’s beginning to look a lot like a repeat of this gen.. one platform has games one doesn’t...
Overall I was very impressed with the cooling design and how you can maintain it, they have thought about it being kept clean. And access is really good to the fan. With the Series X it’s restricted and a big box to collect dust and the only way to clean it is take it apart. To me this is a win for Sony.
People sent that threat over a change in face and not the upgrade fiasco? I don’t get this world, their are some strange people in it.. firstly sending threats like that but secondly over a game characters face?
@thefourfoldroot Of course it’s a software lock! The PS5 are built in the same X86 architecture as the Xbox One and Series X! It’s foolish to stare this is something to do with the SSD, Sony saying it’s up to the devs is an attempt to hide this fact. Or a lot of devs are incapable of working out how to do it, but I doubt that.
@God_of_Nowt If that’s the case that’s very poor for a racing game, usually the easiest games to make run at 60FPS or faster, not really good if it can’t run at 4K 60FPS with ray tracing in 2020 on new hardware not in the market yet.
@thefourfoldroot No it’s not, that’s a bogus excuse, why would a dev of the same game make the saves work on one platform and not the other, when the hardware basis is exactly the same? In old and new gen machines. .
This is kinda a joke to be honest, the Xbox works perfectly fine and it’s using the same hardware basis.. both old and new gen, but Sony can’t or won’t make cross saves work? It has nothing to do with the games and everything to do with Sony’s OS or something software related, this game launches what 2 weeks before the PS5 does yet the saves won’t transfer..
@LiamCroft That’s great that we have an update on this, but also bad as this is from a developer and NOT Sony, who haven’t said a word on this at all. It’s more evidence of rumours being made simply due to a complete lack of facts or information from Sony, 40 odd days from launch! And even then in your story the developer seems to only discuss how there own game will work.
@JapaneseSonic Considering what else the Sony execs have said over the last year, which then turned out to be false or twisting of the truth.. I’ll believe it when I hear it with the PS5.
Well that’s just really poor, but is it on the devs or Sony if it’s true? But yeah some of these games people will have put hours and hours into and won’t want to start from scratch again.
@Flaming_Kaiser Firstly no I don’t only talk about ‘negative’ stuff, or have you only read comments on here? Secondly it’s not nonsense as others on here are repeating the same thing. Sony have never launched a console like this in such secret. And I have never known a game that launched in 6 or 7 weeks to not show any details of gameplay. Please do tell if you know of one.
@JustNeepz Please.. the SSD will NOT have any impact on the terraflop deficit between the Series X and PS5, why do you keep trying to argue as though it will? Raw power is what will drive the graphics, not a storage device. And Sonys console is designed to fluctuate its power so won’t constantly run at 10TF hence the 9TF figure, the Series X can continuously run at 12TF.
@JustNeepz No, a faster SSD will not close the gap in graphics performance. That’s a fact, it’s a storage device not a graphics processor. Third party games ran better on the Xbox One X and it will be the same with the Series X. And the TF in the new gen indicate higher performance then in the last gen devices.
Also the Series X is built better for 4K games hence the split memory, it’s more work to code for but yields better performance with 4K games. I can see it comfortably out performing the PS5, people won’t care about faster load times when the picture they are looking at looks better on one over the other.
The only reason the PSP sold that many is because it was easily hacked and you could run pirated games on it! That’s not a success, I think you’ll find that’s why it is said to have been a flop, because of the piracy that surrounds it. Game devs stopped supporting it due to its piracy.
@hi_drnick Firstyk your point about the PS3 is moot as you literally repeated what I stated, try to come up with something original eh? And it was a failure until they changed it, if the PS4 didn’t succeed the PS3 was such a failure Sony would have closed its PlayStation department, go and look it up. Facts you deny...
And the PSP was a sales joke compared to its competition you know that Nintendo DS.. which sold over 154 million units, again facts you deny and many people questioned Sony making a second handheld due to this. The Vita only managed 16.2 million units sold, a total and utter a failure, and again if you bothered to read my comment properly, instead of seeing select words and trying to come up with a sarcastic arrogant response, you’ll see I stated it could have been great. You’d also see I quoted a selection of the consoles I own including a Vita, so you’ve only made yourself look a bit foolish with your reply.
Sonys arrogance nearly killed PlayStation, it remains to be seen if they have repeated that mistake with the PS5 because so far they are not doing a very good job.
@hi_drnick FYI PSP flopped in sales, PSVITA they dropped support for it very early when it could have been great and instead sold it as an accessory to your PS4.. also the PS3 flopped until they redesigned it and slashed its price, then it sold more, up to that point the Xbox 360 was outselling it regularly. And I have a launch PSP and I have a Vita and a PS3 slim and had a PS4 Fat, and had several Xbox 360’s.
@Adagiumx That Spiderman demo was on very early hardware, probably a PC, and it was a leak and was not meant for the public to see, so Sony did not ‘show’ that all as you were never meant to see it.
@kyethegr8t Great so you can make a gif, and no Sony has not done enough and neither has Microsoft, one hasn’t shown the console, the other hasn’t shown the games. So it’s obvious they will show more, seemingly from You Tuners it seems.
@Fenbops If it dose only run at 9TF most of the time then their will be a massive difference in performance compared to the Series X, the PS4 Pro is 4.2TF I believe, so a 3TF difference will be very noticeable. Not good.

@theheadofabroom Lol if you think Sony will force its system performance to be reduced on the name of fan noise levels.

Not surprising in the slightest, in fact expected really. And it’s only what Sony have been doing for years. It’s a good move by Microsoft.
