WEBVTT 00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:06.240 i'm not much of a console gamer but 00:00:03.360 --> 00:00:10.559 thankfully we've got david he's not technically a writer here but he was 00:00:08.480 --> 00:00:15.360 instructed to self-isolate at home which worked out great because he needed 00:00:13.200 --> 00:00:20.880 something he could do all day and i needed a giant playstation fanboy to 00:00:18.480 --> 00:00:26.960 plop himself on the couch and play as much ps5 as humanly possible then tell 00:00:24.800 --> 00:00:30.480 me about what sony did right and where we'd like to see them do 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 00:00:33.760 --> 00:00:40.000 its compact frame and rfid blocking plates check out how they can keep your 00:00:37.600 --> 00:00:45.840 wallet bulge down and use code Linus 10 to save 10 and get free worldwide 00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:45.840 shipping at the link below 00:00:52.160 --> 00:00:58.719 one of the most next-gen things about the ps5 is something that it doesn't 00:00:56.320 --> 00:01:04.239 share with its competition the new xbox controller is same same but better while 00:01:01.600 --> 00:01:08.320 the dual sense controller is a huge step forward for sony it manages first and 00:01:06.479 --> 00:01:13.439 foremost to feel like it was designed with humans in mind rather than tiny 00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:17.840 frog people and while the d-pad feels slightly mushier than the dualshock 4 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 00:01:20.080 --> 00:01:26.400 definitely not enough to distract from the magic that lives inside the rumble 00:01:25.040 --> 00:01:30.320 has also been updated and it's now so detailed as to 00:01:28.479 --> 00:01:34.799 differentiate your footsteps on different surfaces and also give you a 00:01:32.560 --> 00:01:38.960 sense of directionality in your hands which is pretty neat but nothing 00:01:37.119 --> 00:01:43.680 compared to the adaptive resistance triggers these allow developers to more 00:01:41.280 --> 00:01:48.399 directly simulate the trigger pull of different guns the tension of drawing a 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 00:01:50.640 --> 00:01:56.720 the feedback is strong immediate and 00:01:53.840 --> 00:02:00.320 surprisingly immersive so much so that you might actually find your fingers 00:01:58.399 --> 00:02:03.759 getting a little tired after an extended play session with certain games wow 00:02:02.799 --> 00:02:10.000 really david took this assignment very seriously anyway his suggestion is to 00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:14.480 treat it like super cool visual effects in a call of duty title enjoy it for 00:02:12.239 --> 00:02:17.760 what it is in single player then turn it off for any kind of competitive gaming 00:02:16.319 --> 00:02:23.120 his one real complaint about the controller is a relatively minor one but 00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:24.640 it is a good point white really sony 00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:28.480 transferring your data from playstation 4 can be done via Ethernet or you can 00:02:26.879 --> 00:02:33.360 start fresh by using the on-screen prompts on the playstation app and then 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 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 00:02:39.920 --> 00:02:48.080 from your library and much faster than on sony's last gen console in fact the 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 00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:58.239 fundamentally a refined version of the ps3's cross media bar but there are some 00:02:56.080 --> 00:03:03.519 new features like remote play which allows you to stream ps5 games to your 00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:07.440 playstation 4 in another room and the game switcher that looks like sony may 00:03:05.440 --> 00:03:10.720 have plans for some kind of quick resume like option 00:03:08.560 --> 00:03:15.360 and then of course there's a fresh 4k HDR veneer over everything which helps 00:03:13.040 --> 00:03:20.400 give the ps5 a way more next-gen feel compared to the trusted if 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 00:03:22.640 --> 00:03:29.200 said of the launch titles on both sides am i right 00:03:27.360 --> 00:03:33.440 sony put together one heck of a well-rounded lineup to the point where 00:03:31.440 --> 00:03:37.040 only the most devoted xbots are talking about a couple of extra teraflops at 00:03:35.440 --> 00:03:41.680 this point part of the problem for microsoft might be that they reportedly 00:03:39.280 --> 00:03:45.840 sent dev kits out later than sony giving developers less time to optimize or it 00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:51.040 could be the care that sony put into making creating games easier for the ps5 00:03:48.959 --> 00:03:56.400 either way it's a clear benefit to gamers who go team sony right now unlike 00:03:54.080 --> 00:04:01.439 the hyped up SSD contrary to what the marketing might have suggested loading 00:03:58.720 --> 00:04:06.000 times have not suddenly disappeared at least for the time being but the good 00:04:03.200 --> 00:04:10.400 news is that they have trimmed down very significantly when you load up something 00:04:08.000 --> 00:04:15.280 like demon souls and transfer between gorgeously detailed worlds in just a 00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:19.759 couple of seconds you are waiting but it's a short next generation kind of 00:04:17.440 --> 00:04:26.160 waiting and i truly believe that it will continue to improve speaking of demon 00:04:22.000 --> 00:04:29.280 souls the game is absolutely lovely the 00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:31.759 amount of detail and clarity in it feels 00:04:29.280 --> 00:04:36.800 next-gen in a way that no other game currently does and that may be because 00:04:34.479 --> 00:04:41.759 it's one of two launch games that is only on the playstation 5 meaning that 00:04:39.040 --> 00:04:47.040 it has no legacy baggage to carry along now some of the npc faces might evoke 00:04:44.160 --> 00:04:51.360 craig flashbacks but overall it looks awesome and is also a rewarding if 00:04:49.919 --> 00:04:56.560 challenging play spider-man miles morales looks feels and 00:04:54.320 --> 00:05:02.240 plays great but unfortunately when it's put next to the previous gen version i 00:04:58.960 --> 00:05:04.000 mean yeah the ps5 version is sharper and 00:05:02.240 --> 00:05:10.160 the materials and hair look more realistic but those ray traced reflections whiz by 00:05:07.520 --> 00:05:14.800 so fast that you probably won't really appreciate them unless you slow down and 00:05:12.560 --> 00:05:19.600 smell the rays next up is astrobot it's not as good a 00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:24.000 bundle game as wii sports but like wii sports it manages to be both a great 00:05:22.080 --> 00:05:28.720 technical showcase of the controller and its features and more than that with a 00:05:26.320 --> 00:05:32.400 surprising variety of gameplay segments each with their own unique gimmicks that 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 00:05:34.320 --> 00:05:41.520 realism no life lessons just plain fun remember that remember fun NVIDIA 00:05:39.120 --> 00:05:45.840 games i do in a similar cuteness overload vein sacboy a big adventure is 00:05:44.080 --> 00:05:49.520 a very competent level-based 3d platformer that you can play with up to 00:05:47.440 --> 00:05:53.199 four players on one screen maybe more games should start to use the extra 00:05:50.800 --> 00:05:56.880 horsepower of next-gen for more couch co-op right 00:05:54.800 --> 00:06:01.039 well okay that game is also on the playstation 4 but it doesn't matter it 00:05:58.880 --> 00:06:05.120 has a delightful crafty look and the levels look so tactile you can almost 00:06:04.080 --> 00:06:12.720 feel them the last of the exclusive launch games or well exclusive to sony platforms 00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:12.720 anyway is bug snacks 00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:19.919 we don't talk about bug snacks here in terms of multiplayer releases though 00:06:18.560 --> 00:06:24.240 the worst thing i can say about the playstation 5 is that support for the 00:06:22.160 --> 00:06:28.240 dual sense controller is a little hit or miss call of duty black ops cold war 00:06:26.560 --> 00:06:31.840 included unique tuning for the trigger pull of every gun which is cool 00:06:29.919 --> 00:06:35.520 supposedly i mean i couldn't really tell the difference and then assassin's creed 00:06:33.440 --> 00:06:41.199 valhalla put no effort into it whatsoever no actually i lied the worst 00:06:38.479 --> 00:06:46.560 thing is how many multi-platform games including ea's entire library are 00:06:44.240 --> 00:06:52.080 included with microsoft's dirt cheap xbox game pass for which sony has no 00:06:49.440 --> 00:06:57.120 direct competitor in the longer term companies with deep pockets like amazon 00:06:54.560 --> 00:07:01.919 facebook and google are likely going to continue to invest in game studios which 00:06:59.360 --> 00:07:06.080 is probably going to thin microsoft's offering here but for the time being 00:07:04.160 --> 00:07:11.039 sony's 400 value diskless offering loses a lot of 00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:15.120 its sheen if you consider that four game purchases for it could have gotten you a 00:07:13.360 --> 00:07:20.960 series x which is a more powerful machine and a year and a half of game 00:07:18.240 --> 00:07:25.919 pass ps now does have a growing library of downloadable games to go along with 00:07:22.720 --> 00:07:29.039 the 800 plus streamable ones but its 00:07:25.919 --> 00:07:31.199 technology built on the ps3 cell chip is 00:07:29.039 --> 00:07:36.560 definitely starting to show its uh tooth lengthiness 00:07:32.479 --> 00:07:38.400 720p sony really and it suffers from in 00:07:36.560 --> 00:07:43.120 my opinion too much focus on the quantity versus the quality of the 00:07:40.800 --> 00:07:48.960 included titles then there's sony's other service the ps plus collection 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 00:07:51.120 --> 00:07:57.919 booster shot for your playstation game collection but it raises the question 00:07:55.199 --> 00:08:02.240 why not just combine the two fill in the gaps in first party previous gen titles 00:08:00.560 --> 00:08:06.800 and then have a real game pass competitor a formidable one 00:08:04.479 --> 00:08:11.919 that would also help address another big xbox advantage backwards compatibility 00:08:09.759 --> 00:08:17.440 microsoft offers support all the way back to select games on the original 00:08:14.400 --> 00:08:19.520 xbox not to mention unofficial emulated 00:08:17.440 --> 00:08:25.599 support for nintendo and sony consoles meanwhile the sony 00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:27.520 team is stuck with no real ps1 to ps3 00:08:25.599 --> 00:08:32.159 compatibility outside of streaming select games from psnow the dumbest 00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:37.279 thing about this is that they sell individual ps2 games on psn that are 00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:42.240 clearly just running in an emulator like look at the ps2 logo here you guys gotta 00:08:39.680 --> 00:08:47.200 fix this it's especially frustrating because outside of nintendo 00:08:44.320 --> 00:08:52.080 nobody has as deep a back catalog as sony does a way to effortlessly run 00:08:49.760 --> 00:08:56.720 older games on modern displays would be a huge boon to loyal fans in fairness 00:08:54.640 --> 00:09:03.040 though the support for ps4 titles at least ranges from fine to really great 00:08:59.680 --> 00:09:05.120 the most fine games like last of us 2 00:09:03.040 --> 00:09:10.720 load slightly quicker and manage to maintain an absolute 30 FPS where even a 00:09:07.920 --> 00:09:13.680 ps4 pro would drop a frame here or there but they otherwise play and look exactly 00:09:12.720 --> 00:09:18.480 the same the good games are the ones that had 00:09:15.839 --> 00:09:22.800 dynamic resolution but wouldn't hit 4k consistently or had a performance mode 00:09:20.959 --> 00:09:28.000 that wouldn't hit 60 frames per second all the time and are now much smoother 00:09:25.200 --> 00:09:32.720 or sharper god of war 2018 is a perfect example of this maintaining a steady 00:09:29.839 --> 00:09:37.440 pace on ps5 even if it's at 1080p which looks much less sharp than 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 00:09:40.160 --> 00:09:47.040 are games like ghosts of tsushima that got a ps5 specific update to unlock the 00:09:44.720 --> 00:09:52.640 frame rate and run closer to their 4k target the result is spectacular fluid 00:09:50.399 --> 00:09:57.440 and so sharp that it actually feels more next-gen than some games that were made 00:09:54.480 --> 00:10:02.240 specifically for the ps5 i really hope more games get that kind of an update 00:09:59.600 --> 00:10:05.839 rather than a paid remaster like we saw so often last generation bundling them 00:10:04.399 --> 00:10:10.320 in a subscription service where the developer gets paid out by playtime 00:10:07.600 --> 00:10:13.600 would go a long way towards making that economically viable 00:10:12.480 --> 00:10:17.200 you know but if i was a betting man i'd say soon 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 00:10:20.240 --> 00:10:26.880 remastered for the ps5 which you will like a sucker this leads me to some of 00:10:25.360 --> 00:10:31.360 the real problems that we have with the system itself when microsoft announced 00:10:29.040 --> 00:10:35.040 their smart delivery system that ensured that you got the best version of a game 00:10:32.959 --> 00:10:37.839 available on your console it honestly sounded like kind of a silly marketing 00:10:36.560 --> 00:10:42.000 term i mean doi right 00:10:39.680 --> 00:10:46.800 so we thought until david loaded up the playstation store and somehow managed to 00:10:43.839 --> 00:10:49.920 download both the ps4 version and ps5 versions of call of duty without 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 00:10:52.240 --> 00:10:58.640 sony invention called dumb delivery and while you can move and play backwards 00:10:56.640 --> 00:11:04.880 compatible titles off of an external drive you cannot move actual ps5 games 00:11:02.240 --> 00:11:10.320 off of the console yet and the m.2 expansion slot is not yet activated so 00:11:08.079 --> 00:11:15.040 if your internal SSD is full i really hope you enjoy deleting games and 00:11:12.320 --> 00:11:19.680 re-downloading them also you cannot back up your saves over usb anymore only 00:11:17.440 --> 00:11:24.320 cloud saves are allowed and get this they're locked behind a paywall because 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 00:11:27.360 --> 00:11:34.560 and even if you pay sony's save game protection money getting your ps4 saves 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 00:11:36.160 --> 00:11:42.480 level gripes the lack of variable refresh rate and 8k support wouldn't 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 00:11:45.040 --> 00:11:51.360 they hadn't put the logo right on the box 00:11:48.320 --> 00:11:54.480 and then there's 1440p i mean i get it 00:11:51.360 --> 00:11:56.480 there's no 1440p tvs and you would need 00:11:54.480 --> 00:11:59.120 developers to go and tune the graphics settings for another resolution target 00:11:58.240 --> 00:12:04.959 but i mean come on these are very skilled developers and this is something that i 00:12:02.560 --> 00:12:10.399 can do manually in about 30 minutes per game and there are so many gamers out 00:12:07.279 --> 00:12:12.480 there that are rocking 1440p 120hz 00:12:10.399 --> 00:12:17.120 gaming monitors in their dorm rooms that would love to be able to use the system 00:12:14.480 --> 00:12:22.079 to its fullest though arguably sony's bigger concern might be the gamers with 00:12:19.120 --> 00:12:27.519 HDMI 2.1 tvs not getting the full experience while both next gen consoles 00:12:24.560 --> 00:12:33.279 advertise being HDMI 2.1 compliant the ps5 is currently limited to 32 gigabit 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 00:12:36.480 --> 00:12:43.600 mode you're stuck using 422 chroma subsampling in a nutshell what that 00:12:40.880 --> 00:12:48.240 means is ugly fringing on sharp lines particularly text sony is reportedly 00:12:46.079 --> 00:12:52.560 working on a fix but if the rumors of the limitation being a hardware one are 00:12:50.240 --> 00:12:57.519 true it might not be possible for them to completely fix it another 00:12:54.560 --> 00:13:03.440 disappointment is weak dolby support no atmos and games and no dolby vision 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 00:13:06.959 --> 00:13:13.519 10 do look good but they also looked good last generation and it's pretty 00:13:11.920 --> 00:13:18.399 much accepted in the industry now that dolby vision is the future-proof choice 00:13:15.920 --> 00:13:24.480 with support for dynamic metadata dolby vision's low latency format and over 68 00:13:21.440 --> 00:13:27.360 billion colors versus hdr10s paltry 1 00:13:24.480 --> 00:13:31.760 billion and static metadata for both of them sony has pulled a real sony here 00:13:29.680 --> 00:13:37.040 and created proprietary solutions for low latency video as well as their 00:13:34.079 --> 00:13:42.160 tempest 3d audio engine now to be fair tempest hasn't been given a fair shot 00:13:39.600 --> 00:13:46.399 yet so it may end up being a competitive or even superior solution compared to 00:13:44.399 --> 00:13:51.360 atmos thanks to its dedicated hardware acceleration for right now though we 00:13:48.880 --> 00:13:56.240 just don't know the engine currently only supports headphone use though and 00:13:53.440 --> 00:14:00.959 the current dac in the dual sense is just okay there are hardware 00:13:58.560 --> 00:14:05.279 disappointments too and i mean other than the ugly exterior although 00:14:03.440 --> 00:14:09.440 preliminary reports for the new cooling system were good now that the system is 00:14:07.600 --> 00:14:14.160 in people's hands it looks like there are at least a couple of snafus one 00:14:11.920 --> 00:14:18.320 major issue according to gamer's nexus is that due to a lack of contact between 00:14:16.320 --> 00:14:24.240 the heatsink and one of the memory chips it reaches temperatures as high as 00:14:20.160 --> 00:14:25.760 around 95 degrees under load now this is 00:14:24.240 --> 00:14:29.839 within spec albeit barely but you got to remember 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 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 00:14:36.320 --> 00:14:43.199 along with frequent hard crashes requiring us to reset the console made 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 00:14:44.880 --> 00:14:52.000 software updates are already coming fast and frequently we've got a fix for the 00:14:49.839 --> 00:14:56.720 unreliable rest mode bricking consoles we've got faster boot up times than when 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 00:14:59.440 --> 00:15:05.600 versions of games by default and they've even improved performance there are 00:15:03.680 --> 00:15:10.079 still some sticking issues like importing saves getting stuck while 00:15:07.199 --> 00:15:14.639 updating games or just straight system lockups and crashes but if the rate of 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 00:15:16.959 --> 00:15:23.440 it should be mostly sorted leading finally to the question 00:15:21.040 --> 00:15:27.760 should you assuming you can find one give sony your hard-earned money today 00:15:25.360 --> 00:15:32.480 for a playstation 5. if i were you i'd start saving now but 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 00:15:34.800 --> 00:15:42.240 digital and 4.99 for the disc version it's a pretty incredible value like good 00:15:40.240 --> 00:15:45.279 luck building a competing gaming pc for that kind of money by the way make sure 00:15:43.839 --> 00:15:50.000 you're subscribed for the upcoming video where naturally we're gonna try 00:15:48.000 --> 00:15:56.800 it absolutely feels like a generational jump over the ps4 but my worry is more 00:15:53.680 --> 00:15:59.440 about sony's future the ps5 was clearly 00:15:56.800 --> 00:16:04.720 built around the old cell individual games model that seems to be on the way 00:16:01.680 --> 00:16:07.279 out next to nintendo's half console half 00:16:04.720 --> 00:16:12.160 handheld vision and microsoft's play whatever game you want wherever you damn 00:16:09.199 --> 00:16:17.199 well please approach the ps5 is like a new evolution from an ancient world with 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
