1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:06,240
i'm not much of a console gamer but

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:10,559
thankfully we've got david he's not technically a writer here but he was

3
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:15,360
instructed to self-isolate at home which worked out great because he needed

4
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:20,880
something he could do all day and i needed a giant playstation fanboy to

5
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:26,960
plop himself on the couch and play as much ps5 as humanly possible then tell

6
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:30,480
me about what sony did right and where we'd like to see them do

7
00:00:29,199 --> 00:00:35,840
better today's video is brought to you by ridge wallet wants to redefine the wallet with

8
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:40,000
its compact frame and rfid blocking plates check out how they can keep your

9
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:45,840
wallet bulge down and use code Linus 10 to save 10 and get free worldwide

10
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:45,840
shipping at the link below

11
00:00:52,160 --> 00:00:58,719
one of the most next-gen things about the ps5 is something that it doesn't

12
00:00:56,320 --> 00:01:04,239
share with its competition the new xbox controller is same same but better while

13
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:08,320
the dual sense controller is a huge step forward for sony it manages first and

14
00:01:06,479 --> 00:01:13,439
foremost to feel like it was designed with humans in mind rather than tiny

15
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:17,840
frog people and while the d-pad feels slightly mushier than the dualshock 4

16
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:22,159
it's not so bad as to stop you from playing precision retro titles and it's

17
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:26,400
definitely not enough to distract from the magic that lives inside the rumble

18
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:30,320
has also been updated and it's now so detailed as to

19
00:01:28,479 --> 00:01:34,799
differentiate your footsteps on different surfaces and also give you a

20
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:38,960
sense of directionality in your hands which is pretty neat but nothing

21
00:01:37,119 --> 00:01:43,680
compared to the adaptive resistance triggers these allow developers to more

22
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:48,399
directly simulate the trigger pull of different guns the tension of drawing a

23
00:01:45,759 --> 00:01:53,840
bow or the way a gas pedal will fight you as you lose traction on a muddy road

24
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:56,720
the feedback is strong immediate and

25
00:01:53,840 --> 00:02:00,320
surprisingly immersive so much so that you might actually find your fingers

26
00:01:58,399 --> 00:02:03,759
getting a little tired after an extended play session with certain games wow

27
00:02:02,799 --> 00:02:10,000
really david took this assignment very seriously anyway his suggestion is to

28
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:14,480
treat it like super cool visual effects in a call of duty title enjoy it for

29
00:02:12,239 --> 00:02:17,760
what it is in single player then turn it off for any kind of competitive gaming

30
00:02:16,319 --> 00:02:23,120
his one real complaint about the controller is a relatively minor one but

31
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:24,640
it is a good point white really sony

32
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:28,480
transferring your data from playstation 4 can be done via Ethernet or you can

33
00:02:26,879 --> 00:02:33,360
start fresh by using the on-screen prompts on the playstation app and then

34
00:02:30,959 --> 00:02:37,840
that's it you're logged in if you've got ps plus your ps4 cloud saves are ready

35
00:02:35,599 --> 00:02:42,400
to download then you can pop in a disk to install a game or download any game

36
00:02:39,920 --> 00:02:48,080
from your library and much faster than on sony's last gen console in fact the

37
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:53,200
whole console feels much quicker in part due to the ps5 brand new ui it's still

38
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:58,239
fundamentally a refined version of the ps3's cross media bar but there are some

39
00:02:56,080 --> 00:03:03,519
new features like remote play which allows you to stream ps5 games to your

40
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:07,440
playstation 4 in another room and the game switcher that looks like sony may

41
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:10,720
have plans for some kind of quick resume like option

42
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:15,360
and then of course there's a fresh 4k HDR veneer over everything which helps

43
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:20,400
give the ps5 a way more next-gen feel compared to the trusted if

44
00:03:18,319 --> 00:03:25,120
it ain't broke don't fix it approach of the xbox and the same can kind of be

45
00:03:22,640 --> 00:03:29,200
said of the launch titles on both sides am i right

46
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:33,440
sony put together one heck of a well-rounded lineup to the point where

47
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:37,040
only the most devoted xbots are talking about a couple of extra teraflops at

48
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:41,680
this point part of the problem for microsoft might be that they reportedly

49
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:45,840
sent dev kits out later than sony giving developers less time to optimize or it

50
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:51,040
could be the care that sony put into making creating games easier for the ps5

51
00:03:48,959 --> 00:03:56,400
either way it's a clear benefit to gamers who go team sony right now unlike

52
00:03:54,080 --> 00:04:01,439
the hyped up SSD contrary to what the marketing might have suggested loading

53
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:06,000
times have not suddenly disappeared at least for the time being but the good

54
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:10,400
news is that they have trimmed down very significantly when you load up something

55
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:15,280
like demon souls and transfer between gorgeously detailed worlds in just a

56
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:19,759
couple of seconds you are waiting but it's a short next generation kind of

57
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:26,160
waiting and i truly believe that it will continue to improve speaking of demon

58
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:29,280
souls the game is absolutely lovely the

59
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:31,759
amount of detail and clarity in it feels

60
00:04:29,280 --> 00:04:36,800
next-gen in a way that no other game currently does and that may be because

61
00:04:34,479 --> 00:04:41,759
it's one of two launch games that is only on the playstation 5 meaning that

62
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:47,040
it has no legacy baggage to carry along now some of the npc faces might evoke

63
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:51,360
craig flashbacks but overall it looks awesome and is also a rewarding if

64
00:04:49,919 --> 00:04:56,560
challenging play spider-man miles morales looks feels and

65
00:04:54,320 --> 00:05:02,240
plays great but unfortunately when it's put next to the previous gen version i

66
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:04,000
mean yeah the ps5 version is sharper and

67
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:10,160
the materials and hair look more realistic but those ray traced reflections whiz by

68
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:14,800
so fast that you probably won't really appreciate them unless you slow down and

69
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:19,600
smell the rays next up is astrobot it's not as good a

70
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:24,000
bundle game as wii sports but like wii sports it manages to be both a great

71
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:28,720
technical showcase of the controller and its features and more than that with a

72
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:32,400
surprising variety of gameplay segments each with their own unique gimmicks that

73
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:37,280
make you want to keep playing and find out what's coming next there's no gritty

74
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:41,520
realism no life lessons just plain fun remember that remember fun NVIDIA

75
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:45,840
games i do in a similar cuteness overload vein sacboy a big adventure is

76
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:49,520
a very competent level-based 3d platformer that you can play with up to

77
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:53,199
four players on one screen maybe more games should start to use the extra

78
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:56,880
horsepower of next-gen for more couch co-op right

79
00:05:54,800 --> 00:06:01,039
well okay that game is also on the playstation 4 but it doesn't matter it

80
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:05,120
has a delightful crafty look and the levels look so tactile you can almost

81
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:12,720
feel them the last of the exclusive launch games or well exclusive to sony platforms

82
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:12,720
anyway is bug snacks

83
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:19,919
we don't talk about bug snacks here in terms of multiplayer releases though

84
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:24,240
the worst thing i can say about the playstation 5 is that support for the

85
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:28,240
dual sense controller is a little hit or miss call of duty black ops cold war

86
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:31,840
included unique tuning for the trigger pull of every gun which is cool

87
00:06:29,919 --> 00:06:35,520
supposedly i mean i couldn't really tell the difference and then assassin's creed

88
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:41,199
valhalla put no effort into it whatsoever no actually i lied the worst

89
00:06:38,479 --> 00:06:46,560
thing is how many multi-platform games including ea's entire library are

90
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:52,080
included with microsoft's dirt cheap xbox game pass for which sony has no

91
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:57,120
direct competitor in the longer term companies with deep pockets like amazon

92
00:06:54,560 --> 00:07:01,919
facebook and google are likely going to continue to invest in game studios which

93
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:06,080
is probably going to thin microsoft's offering here but for the time being

94
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:11,039
sony's 400 value diskless offering loses a lot of

95
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:15,120
its sheen if you consider that four game purchases for it could have gotten you a

96
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:20,960
series x which is a more powerful machine and a year and a half of game

97
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:25,919
pass ps now does have a growing library of downloadable games to go along with

98
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:29,039
the 800 plus streamable ones but its

99
00:07:25,919 --> 00:07:31,199
technology built on the ps3 cell chip is

100
00:07:29,039 --> 00:07:36,560
definitely starting to show its uh tooth lengthiness

101
00:07:32,479 --> 00:07:38,400
720p sony really and it suffers from in

102
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:43,120
my opinion too much focus on the quantity versus the quality of the

103
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:48,960
included titles then there's sony's other service the ps plus collection

104
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:52,800
it's only got like 20 games but they are really high quality so it's a great

105
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:57,919
booster shot for your playstation game collection but it raises the question

106
00:07:55,199 --> 00:08:02,240
why not just combine the two fill in the gaps in first party previous gen titles

107
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:06,800
and then have a real game pass competitor a formidable one

108
00:08:04,479 --> 00:08:11,919
that would also help address another big xbox advantage backwards compatibility

109
00:08:09,759 --> 00:08:17,440
microsoft offers support all the way back to select games on the original

110
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:19,520
xbox not to mention unofficial emulated

111
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:25,599
support for nintendo and sony consoles meanwhile the sony

112
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:27,520
team is stuck with no real ps1 to ps3

113
00:08:25,599 --> 00:08:32,159
compatibility outside of streaming select games from psnow the dumbest

114
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:37,279
thing about this is that they sell individual ps2 games on psn that are

115
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:42,240
clearly just running in an emulator like look at the ps2 logo here you guys gotta

116
00:08:39,680 --> 00:08:47,200
fix this it's especially frustrating because outside of nintendo

117
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:52,080
nobody has as deep a back catalog as sony does a way to effortlessly run

118
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:56,720
older games on modern displays would be a huge boon to loyal fans in fairness

119
00:08:54,640 --> 00:09:03,040
though the support for ps4 titles at least ranges from fine to really great

120
00:08:59,680 --> 00:09:05,120
the most fine games like last of us 2

121
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:10,720
load slightly quicker and manage to maintain an absolute 30 FPS where even a

122
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:13,680
ps4 pro would drop a frame here or there but they otherwise play and look exactly

123
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:18,480
the same the good games are the ones that had

124
00:09:15,839 --> 00:09:22,800
dynamic resolution but wouldn't hit 4k consistently or had a performance mode

125
00:09:20,959 --> 00:09:28,000
that wouldn't hit 60 frames per second all the time and are now much smoother

126
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:32,720
or sharper god of war 2018 is a perfect example of this maintaining a steady

127
00:09:29,839 --> 00:09:37,440
pace on ps5 even if it's at 1080p which looks much less sharp than

128
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:42,160
the resolution mode so that's a win but a small one and finally the great ones

129
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:47,040
are games like ghosts of tsushima that got a ps5 specific update to unlock the

130
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:52,640
frame rate and run closer to their 4k target the result is spectacular fluid

131
00:09:50,399 --> 00:09:57,440
and so sharp that it actually feels more next-gen than some games that were made

132
00:09:54,480 --> 00:10:02,240
specifically for the ps5 i really hope more games get that kind of an update

133
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:05,839
rather than a paid remaster like we saw so often last generation bundling them

134
00:10:04,399 --> 00:10:10,320
in a subscription service where the developer gets paid out by playtime

135
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:13,600
would go a long way towards making that economically viable

136
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:17,200
you know but if i was a betting man i'd say soon

137
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:23,040
enough you'll be able to pay thirty dollars or more to play last of us two

138
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:26,880
remastered for the ps5 which you will like a sucker this leads me to some of

139
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:31,360
the real problems that we have with the system itself when microsoft announced

140
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:35,040
their smart delivery system that ensured that you got the best version of a game

141
00:10:32,959 --> 00:10:37,839
available on your console it honestly sounded like kind of a silly marketing

142
00:10:36,560 --> 00:10:42,000
term i mean doi right

143
00:10:39,680 --> 00:10:46,800
so we thought until david loaded up the playstation store and somehow managed to

144
00:10:43,839 --> 00:10:49,920
download both the ps4 version and ps5 versions of call of duty without

145
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:54,640
realizing that almost half of the poor little SSD was full turns out it's a new

146
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:58,640
sony invention called dumb delivery and while you can move and play backwards

147
00:10:56,640 --> 00:11:04,880
compatible titles off of an external drive you cannot move actual ps5 games

148
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:10,320
off of the console yet and the m.2 expansion slot is not yet activated so

149
00:11:08,079 --> 00:11:15,040
if your internal SSD is full i really hope you enjoy deleting games and

150
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:19,680
re-downloading them also you cannot back up your saves over usb anymore only

151
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:24,320
cloud saves are allowed and get this they're locked behind a paywall because

152
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:29,760
you need ps plus in order to access them that right there is some grade a horse

153
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:34,560
and even if you pay sony's save game protection money getting your ps4 saves

154
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:38,079
to work on ps5 games can be a bit of a chore then there's the other system

155
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:42,480
level gripes the lack of variable refresh rate and 8k support wouldn't

156
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:47,120
have been such a big deal if they hadn't been talked about before the launch or

157
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:51,360
they hadn't put the logo right on the box

158
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:54,480
and then there's 1440p i mean i get it

159
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:56,480
there's no 1440p tvs and you would need

160
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:59,120
developers to go and tune the graphics settings for another resolution target

161
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:04,959
but i mean come on these are very skilled developers and this is something that i

162
00:12:02,560 --> 00:12:10,399
can do manually in about 30 minutes per game and there are so many gamers out

163
00:12:07,279 --> 00:12:12,480
there that are rocking 1440p 120hz

164
00:12:10,399 --> 00:12:17,120
gaming monitors in their dorm rooms that would love to be able to use the system

165
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:22,079
to its fullest though arguably sony's bigger concern might be the gamers with

166
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:27,519
HDMI 2.1 tvs not getting the full experience while both next gen consoles

167
00:12:24,560 --> 00:12:33,279
advertise being HDMI 2.1 compliant the ps5 is currently limited to 32 gigabit

168
00:12:30,399 --> 00:12:38,959
per second from its HDMI port so if you want to use the advertised 4k 120 hertz

169
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:43,600
mode you're stuck using 422 chroma subsampling in a nutshell what that

170
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:48,240
means is ugly fringing on sharp lines particularly text sony is reportedly

171
00:12:46,079 --> 00:12:52,560
working on a fix but if the rumors of the limitation being a hardware one are

172
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:57,519
true it might not be possible for them to completely fix it another

173
00:12:54,560 --> 00:13:03,440
disappointment is weak dolby support no atmos and games and no dolby vision

174
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:09,600
at all yeah there's hdr10 which is good enough for now and sure games using HDR

175
00:13:06,959 --> 00:13:13,519
10 do look good but they also looked good last generation and it's pretty

176
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:18,399
much accepted in the industry now that dolby vision is the future-proof choice

177
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:24,480
with support for dynamic metadata dolby vision's low latency format and over 68

178
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:27,360
billion colors versus hdr10s paltry 1

179
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:31,760
billion and static metadata for both of them sony has pulled a real sony here

180
00:13:29,680 --> 00:13:37,040
and created proprietary solutions for low latency video as well as their

181
00:13:34,079 --> 00:13:42,160
tempest 3d audio engine now to be fair tempest hasn't been given a fair shot

182
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:46,399
yet so it may end up being a competitive or even superior solution compared to

183
00:13:44,399 --> 00:13:51,360
atmos thanks to its dedicated hardware acceleration for right now though we

184
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:56,240
just don't know the engine currently only supports headphone use though and

185
00:13:53,440 --> 00:14:00,959
the current dac in the dual sense is just okay there are hardware

186
00:13:58,560 --> 00:14:05,279
disappointments too and i mean other than the ugly exterior although

187
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:09,440
preliminary reports for the new cooling system were good now that the system is

188
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:14,160
in people's hands it looks like there are at least a couple of snafus one

189
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:18,320
major issue according to gamer's nexus is that due to a lack of contact between

190
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:24,240
the heatsink and one of the memory chips it reaches temperatures as high as

191
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:25,760
around 95 degrees under load now this is

192
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:29,839
within spec albeit barely but you got to remember

193
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:34,079
that it's being measured on a brand new console with no dust build up so only

194
00:14:32,639 --> 00:14:38,160
time will tell if that's going to be a problem in the long run these things

195
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:43,199
along with frequent hard crashes requiring us to reset the console made

196
00:14:40,399 --> 00:14:47,519
the ps5 feel a little bit rushed but there's light at the end of the tunnel

197
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:52,000
software updates are already coming fast and frequently we've got a fix for the

198
00:14:49,839 --> 00:14:56,720
unreliable rest mode bricking consoles we've got faster boot up times than when

199
00:14:53,760 --> 00:15:01,600
we tested even a week ago there's an end now to downloading both ps4 and ps5

200
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:05,600
versions of games by default and they've even improved performance there are

201
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:10,079
still some sticking issues like importing saves getting stuck while

202
00:15:07,199 --> 00:15:14,639
updating games or just straight system lockups and crashes but if the rate of

203
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:19,279
improvement is anything to go by by the time you can actually buy one in a store

204
00:15:16,959 --> 00:15:23,440
it should be mostly sorted leading finally to the question

205
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:27,760
should you assuming you can find one give sony your hard-earned money today

206
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:32,480
for a playstation 5. if i were you i'd start saving now but

207
00:15:30,639 --> 00:15:37,600
i'd wait just a little bit longer to pull the trigger at 399 for the all

208
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:42,240
digital and 4.99 for the disc version it's a pretty incredible value like good

209
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:45,279
luck building a competing gaming pc for that kind of money by the way make sure

210
00:15:43,839 --> 00:15:50,000
you're subscribed for the upcoming video where naturally we're gonna try

211
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:56,800
it absolutely feels like a generational jump over the ps4 but my worry is more

212
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:59,440
about sony's future the ps5 was clearly

213
00:15:56,800 --> 00:16:04,720
built around the old cell individual games model that seems to be on the way

214
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:07,279
out next to nintendo's half console half

215
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:12,160
handheld vision and microsoft's play whatever game you want wherever you damn

216
00:16:09,199 --> 00:16:17,199
well please approach the ps5 is like a new evolution from an ancient world with

217
00:16:15,199 --> 00:16:20,959
that said it's a gaming machine first and foremost and it's a good one and as

218
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:24,560
it will only get better with its numerous upcoming exclusives it makes it

219
00:16:23,519 --> 00:16:29,440
a more sensible companion to your pc

220
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:34,399
gaming rig than an xbox if you're a pc player as well so

221
