Additional info about the performance: PS5 seems to hold 120 FPS (8.33ms) 94.15% of the time compared to XSX's 91.9%. Number of total torn frames is 1792 for PS5 and 1933 for XSX. (From comparison sheet provided by Vg tech).

Edit: Corrected my earlier mistake about the percentages.

There's way more smoke effect coming off gunshots on PS5. It's almost completely missing on XSX.

Check it in slow mo starting at 0:35 and 2:38

Read it again. It's 94% to 91%.

 

[Tmack]

It`s pretty much pre-orders.

Games released one week earlier. So eveyone who had a ps5 pre-order and pre-ordered a game, that game counted as sale because it released earlier.

When say nobody cares about BC because people wants to play new games in new consoles... some guys disagree.

But that is the truth... gamers like to play new games in their new hot machines.

THAT IS WHAT A NEW GENERATION MEANS.

PS5 will probably be way more successful than PS4.

It is not preorders.

Games and accessories were launched early than the PS5.... you can buy them already in any place of the world.

You see a lot of pics on Twitter with people with Dual Sense and games just waiting the PS5.

Exactly, people pre-ordered both games and console and as game relased earlier people received the game without a console.


My case:

- Pre ordered a PS5;
- Pre ordered MM and DS because pre-ordering i would get 15% off + perks;
- Games released on 12, so both my pre-ordered games dispatched and count as "sold";
- Received DS copy couple days ago, should receive MM today;
- Still waiting for the PS5 to arrive god know when...

That probably explain most ps game sales by now in europe.

Yeah, when shooting guns, the smoke from muzzle of a gun is more on ps5 than on Series x. Interesting.

So many people saying this and feeling this but its kinda low balled with an 83 Metacritic IMO

PS5 isn't even out & it's doing a Pacman chart in the UK

 

[Tmack]

Guess "legit" reviews couldnt afford to rate high a so called demo.

 

[3liteDragon]

All the issues with PS5 so far. Lol looks like I made the right call with not pre-ordering this right away, hopefully they can get this shit sorted out by Q1 2021.

 

[ethomaz]

The game is small... it is a demo after all... so that accounts for the lower metascore.

Only criticism is the act of hitting should carry more crunch. Playing Knack you get that satisfying impact when you hit an enemy. Going back to Astrobot the difference is apparent.

Anyway, small gripe and a different game. But I would have insisted on more Crunch. Call me Captain Crunch if you will.

don't judge games as how they compare to Knack, its unfair for other games.

 

[Sinthor]

Anyone having issues with connectivity in Demon's Souls? I'm having issues in ONE particular area. When I get summoned in as a blue to help people with the Tower Knight boss....almost every time, RIGHT at the end of the fight and JUST before the Tower Knight's bar gets down to zero and it declares the win, the connection terminates. So awesome...the host gets the win, but summons...at least MY summon, don't get the credit or souls for it. It's ONLY happened to me with this boss so far, though admittedly I've only done up to the Leechmonger and all the worlds save 4-1 on the first bosses. But it seems ODDLY consistent with that one boss fight.

Anyone?


Also...hearing some people complain about a "whine" when playing Demon's Souls and some other games. I heard SOMETHING like the noise they mention...but it only was while the game was installing from the disk. I think the humming is the drive spinning? Regardless, it's not even noticeable unless you put your ear up to the unit itself. Much ado about nothing, I think..unless specific units have some kind of low grade issue.

Yeah I was getting dc’d a lot on Tower Knight also, usually right after he falls and everyone is stabbing his head.

 

[iamvin22]

how do you set it to 120FPS on the ps5?!

Does your TV support 120fps?

 

[aclar00]

Two words: convinience and comfort. One less thing on your head, one less wire annoying you. Also, with standard speekers developers can fine tune the audio to them.

I doubt it would cost Sony more than 10 dollars to implement, but if it does, then I agree with you that a low entry price should be priority.

If have to agree with the other guy...convenient it may be...sute, but comfort is much more subjective and build in headphones...naw. It would require too many adjustment options to be implemented. This we make it more expensive and bulker. Sure, they can put in some cheap headphoness/drivers, etc...but would they want something cheap to showcase the tempest engine?

Also one more thing that can break and become a neusance i think...they also wouldnt even be over-the-ear, which i personally prefer.

Both have plus/deltas, but id prefer not to have them i think.

 

[Sinthor]

Yeah I was getting dc’d a lot on Tower Knight also, usually right after he falls and everyone is stabbing his head.

Exactly! Right as he gets killed, instead of saying he's dead and awarding souls, etc., he starts standing back up and it says connection was terminated for instability. But ONLY has happened to me there. It's just this afternoon...literally 4 out of 5 summons and fights, that happened to me. Super annoying!

The miles and sackboy split is absolutely nuts in favor of Ps5. When word of mouth gets out you will see that number jump a bit higher

 

[Yoboman]

Ifs a free 3-4 hour game. And its fully self contained, its not a demo.

Games like Journey or Portal were even shorter but nobody held that against them, and they weren't free

 

[Tajaz2426]

I’ve been enjoying my time with the game and the things they’ve done with the controller are pretty amazing. I think my favorite part is when you zip the suit up, between the haptics and sound it makes the game more immersive.

Cool game and lots of fun.

I only managed to help 2 people beat him but yeah it’s a shame it kept dropping out because it’s a fun one to co-op. Armor Spider was fine though, did like a dozen runs with others and no problem.

So AC Valhalla and WD Legion don't support 3D audio on XSX but they do on PS5... wonder why.

[Imtjnotu]

Not sure if my c9 does or not

 

[aclar00]

Yep




Interesting.. seems like the pulses are out of stock everywhere. I will maybe consider getting those or the arctis 7p at some point soon to try it and see if the 3d audio is better wirelessly.. and if they do sound clear with 3d audio but not much improved over my typical stereo I'll return them. Or keep them if it's worth it..

That's honestly so weird.. I'm not the biggest fan of wireless. I would have thought wired is better since it's a straight connection?

Thats the weird thing with Sony and the PS4 and 5....its not really wired given that the controller is bluetooth and then it has to send a signal to the 3.5mm. Like wtf do you have to do all this as oppose to have direct BT connection to the console...even if it has to have a separate and own BT signal that takes away another controller spot or something.

Ubisoft details next-gen enhancements coming to all its upcoming games

There's a bunch of new consoles a-coming, dontcha know, and with only a few weeks left until next-gen is officially go,…

www.eurogamer.net

Watch Dogs: Legion
Xbox Series X/S:

• Raytracing
• Faster load times

PS5:

• Raytracing
• Tempest 3D Audio
• Adaptive triggers support
• Faster load times

Assassin's Creed Valhalla
Xbox Series X/S:

• 60fps at 4K on Xbox Series X
• Faster load times

PS5:

• 60fps at 4K
• Tempest 3D Audio Engine
• Faster load times

But they do mention that Immortals Fenyx Rising will support Dolby Atmos and Tempest Engine on their respective platforms so that makes me wonder why it isn't the case with the other games.

People also buy them from stores

I bough demons souls disc version 12.11 when they started to sell it, to have it ready (3 days to go here for console launch)

I went to see if they have dock&pulse 3D at 13.11 and almost _all_ PS5 games were sold in few stores. They had like 1-2 spidermans left

Gamepass stealing sales from games on Xbox?

 

[Setsuna Mudou]

That makes no sense. Each firmware for each xbox platform is not generic. You're essentially making a bs argument that xb one is holding back optimization of series x. This isnt a thing.

Xbox released firmware and dev kits later then sony. The tools arent as mature. This happens each generation and improves over time

Fuck's sake man, bu, bu, bu... but what about DX12? Pretty sure that shit exists for a few years now.
What about the fantastic idea of not using "variable clocks" (aka smartshift) and how that makes dev's lives so much easier because the "tflops" aren't varying?
What about not having new controller features and pretty much using the exact same controller as last gen?
I was told the large CU count would be Microsoft's fine wine approach to this gen. Where has that narrative gone?
What about the "RDNA 1.5" on the PS5 vs the so called only console with "all RDNA2 features shown by AMD"?
I vaguely remember the CPU also being clocked higher, so much so even the Series S was said by some geniuses (Tom Warren lol) it would outperform the PS5 at lower resolutions.

How about stop making excuses for Microsoft and tell them to fuck off with that "most powerful" narrative? Just a thought.

Probably, also given how BC was heavily marketed on MS part I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of people bought the console to keep playing the games they already own.
