Thank You!

Early notes:

- Stand is kinda janky in horizontal mode
- Holy shit the system update downloaded fast... roughly 2 minutes for nearly a gigabyte
- LOL Sony forgot to remove the web browser settings section.. they totally have a browser for this thing, and are disabling it for business reasons

Installing Dark Souls now. Might checkout Astros Playroom first, but... didn't expect a game to be ready in like 30 minutes.

 

[3liteDragon]

Hope you guys enjoy your PS5's and Series consoles, haven't actually pre-ordered either of them. Looking to get them sometime next year.

 

[Great Hair]

some vrs action

 

[LucidFlux]

What a day.
My copy of Demon's Souls was supposedly delayed till Friday... and then it miraculously showed up before the console!

Already had a blast with Astrobot but now I'm going to go get lost in Boletaria.

See you all on the otherside.

Yeah me too, makes sense for me to buy it sometime around next year, I'm thinking around August/September, Horizon Forbidden West will have or will be released close to that time and hopefully the God of War sequel won't be far off either, I'll need to overhaul as well and upgrade my 1080p TV to a 4K one. Looking forward to it!

Best buy ddnt have my demon soul copy either

Is that a NES on the right, on an optical illusion?

All consoles nowadays have to have a web browser at system level for connecting through captive portals, allowing games to load T&C's that kind of stuff.

Like you say maybe business reasons mean they may be worried having it as an app as it could allow xCloud, Stadia, Luna etc into their platform via it. Or maybe they just haven't got around to implementing all the features they want and they will in future.

Yeah I guess it could just be settings for a browser component currently exposed to games/apps. As pointed out in another thread, the twitter app is essentially a browser (and can follow links.)

But it just says "Web Browser" so that's gonna be confusing to people who don't know the Web Browser was actually removed. And you can do stuff like disable cookies and whatnot; just seems a bit odd from a UX perspective.

Dual sense is legit, the amount of resistance is wild, cooling springs done!

The PlayStation 5 has a hidden Web browser; here’s how to find it

Yeah the beginning of APR where they just show you the basics including the adaptive trigger's strength is impressive.

Spiderman is actually really pretty. Looks fairly cross gen especially at night when you see buildings from afar but then you get to the ground and the ray tracing and lighting really enhances the overall graphics. It's a pretty drastic improvement from the PS4 version. i dont remember it looking this good on foot at night.

Didn't you said Spider man on ps5 looks the same as ps4 version except raytracing?
now you're playing yourself, how do you think about character details and Lighting in the game?

 

[Andodalf]

This is weird, my PS5 doesn’t connect to the internet with the wired connection right now, so I’m having to use WiFi

My PS5 has been connected via wired since I set it up and I have had no issues, just in case you wanted an idea of what may be going on!

 

[Insane Metal]

Dunno that looks just OK to me? I like the cleanliness of it all, since it's high res with good AA but overall it just looks good to me. Maybe because it's a crossgen title.

 

[Kerlurk]

First next generation game comparison between PS5/XSX:


It's roughly the same between both consoles when it comes to frame-rate/resolution.

Xbox superior claim is seriously in question.

 

[carloseduardocd]

Very close frame-rate

 

[Snowdonhoffen]

- So PS5 drops 1 frame and the XSX has tearing. Pick your poison
- Dynamic resolution on both machines. The average resolution varies between 1620p and 1800p. Have seen the XSX drop all the way down to 1440p and haven't seen that on the PS5 but he thinks it can drop that low too.
- Most likely using a reconstruction technique to reach 2160p.
- PS5 goes from the game's main menu to game in 11.42s and XSX does that in 12.98s, a whopping 12% difference, omg! (/s)

 

[kyliethicc]

shocker the game is same on both. Its as if the machines are equally powerful

 

[JonkyDonk]

It's crazy to think of the amount of nonsense that people have said about the PS5 since last December, not just the fanboys but even people in the media, just constantly regurgitating the Xbox marketing line of 'most powerful' with no actual evidence. And now not a single whisper will come out about this, people will just pretend like none of it ever happened.

 

[ethomaz]

Both drop 1fps here or there but it pretty solid in framerate.
Resolution has less low on PS5 (1620p) than Xbox (1440p).
Tearing on Xbox, VSYNCED on PS5.
Loading times a bit better on PS5.

Based Cerny.

And with A LOT of hate!

Like if it would any different in any other instance.

respect for still having a 360 hooked up

 

[Sinthor]

Well....my PS5...she showed up today. Having a lot of fun...though I have had the issue with the external drive occur...black screen, have to power off... But damn, this is one fast, and sweet console.

Just........her......size........... I mean, don't get me wrong...I'm not being a bigot or anything. Just.....she's......large. Kinda reminds me of...

 

[Rea]

Damn! Xbox series X took an "L", so much for being the world's most powerful consoles. It's a shame that it performs the same or worse ( when considering screen tear and lowest resolution is abit higher on ps5) than the weaker console. Ps5 definitely is more efficient console.

 

[Insane Metal]

Damn man... imagine if all this talk about 12TF comes down to nothing in the end. A 36CUs GPU bitch slaping a 52CU GPU.

Seriously I thought they would be close but still with a small win for XSX. I know it's still waaaay too early to say anything but I expected pretty much every multiplat to show something of a win for the XSX. Small, but still there.

I expect the same ... but in the end does it matter???

I feel is the deciding factors will be the games u want, controller and friends in getting the console

and for me it is ps5

 

[bitbydeath]

Got mine now too and am setting it up.
Power cord is really short.

If the difference is this small now, it's going to be negligible in the second and third wave of games too. Developers will optimise for both consoles, create better API's, create better profiles and tune the caches, I could be wrong but I really don't think the gap will widen anytime soon.

No it doesn't. I'm just saying.

 

[3liteDragon]

The fact that I'm seeing a 11.4 second loading screen for PS5 on ACV and then looking at Miles Morales taking a second to load everything tells me that the first wave of third-party multiplat titles coming out aren't really programmed to make proper use of the SSD tech just yet. Maybe second or third wave, we might see no loading screens on third-parties, hopefully.

 

[Empire Strikes Back]

Do only some PS5’s have that “Explore” tile? I see some home screens with it and others don’t have it.

It’s US only for now.

It is absolutely ridiculous how good Tsushima looks on PS5. Is it just me or does the ps5 display colors and hdr differently? The game did not look anywhere near that vibrant on my og day 1 PS4.

Same here. I was expecting them to be close, just not this close. I always thought Series X would have a slight edge when it comes to multiplat games. What we have is pretty much like for like.

On the other hand I must admit I expected load times to be less than half on PS5, and we are not seeing too much of a difference.

These machines look closer than expected, no dout.

 

[Self High Five]

Crazy how SP was pulling these kind of visuals in 2014:



Feels close to a cross gen game with 60 fps

 

[Hawking Radiation]

I'm going to be patient and wait for PS5 stocks next year.

I don't want to play any of the shit out on next gen right now like Valhalla and Dirt 5.

I'd rather wait for Ragnarok and other 2nd wave games before diving into next gen. I hope you all enjoy your Series X's and PS5's. I'll join you guys next year.

Here's to hoping cross gen is a mandatory thing on all multiplatform games.

 

[bitbydeath]

There is an option to delete Astros Playroom.

 

[Snowdonhoffen]

Damn with the AC Valhalla thread, 10 pages already. I've never thought 1 frame could have such an impact.

Andodalf I was actually waiting on your Lol reaction!

 

[jasondefaoite]

I could be behind here ... but all those saying 1440p monitors aren't an issue, they are. From experience ... the PS4pro output to a native 4k monitor is sharper than it outputting 4K to a 1440p monitor and having it downscaled. It's especially obvious in the dash where text isn't as sharp as it should be. Having the PS5 output a native 1440p would be a better solution, but that isn't going to happen.

I second the shouts to switch to a 4K monitor (or TV).

That anyone can write this with a straight face when "SSD Secret Sauce" has been doing the rounds for the last 7 months is, in and of itself, amusing
