I've been using SSD's for the last 12 years or so, not exactly revolutionary having short load times for me, it's great, it's why PC players aren't exactly blown away with PS5's speeds, because we've been living in that zone for a LONG time already. Haptic feedback on controllers is great, I enjoy it enough, but again, it's not exactly new shit that hasn't been used before. It's been great on the VR controllers I've used over the last 5 years. I'm not discounting the hardware, I like the hardware in the system. I'm saying that the games aren't there yet. It's like having a supercar and only driving on 30mph roads. Great it can do more, but it doesn't really matter until you can use it to it's potential. If the best thing about your new system that you can talk about is how fast it loads games or the few games that support controller haptics, it's not exactly pushing the "gaming revolution" narrative forward is it. Stop being so defensive.
Your going to compare SSD's that currently dont have a write speed that is stable enough to be at PS5's 5.5gb/s on top of the custom I/O which takes load off of your cpu doing the work? Show me instant load times on PC games please?
Until PC has games that look and play like PS5 games your words and posts have very little merit. If what you are saying were true why would tech heads like DF make a big deal out of PS5's experience?
They must be not impressed since they have been playing these types of experiences on their high end PC's with 3080's and direct storage update right?
It's not being defensive if someone is spewing their opinion like it's gospel, when tech sites and people with far more knowledge than you or I are impressed with what Sony puts out. Almost everyone who's used it with specific titles that showcase 3D audio, thoughtful uses of haptic feedback that gives the game a fresh experience you can't get anywhere else.
Until a developer on PC can marry the use of haptic triggers and actuators in their controllers with a game that looks and responds like ratchet, spiderman, demons souls than people will stop fawning over what Playstation is putting out.
It's one thing if you yourself are not impressed, but to discredit and tell people they like the smell of their own farts, to me ruins your talking points as being genuine.
Find me a tech youtuber or graphics engineer who's not impressed with what Sony is doing. Better yet find me a PC developer saying that what the PS5 is doing in ratchet, in Spiderman is not impressive.
