Oh I’ve completed that bad boy. Demon’s Souls is my first play on PS5 launch day
Gaming PS5 vs Xbox Series S|X
- Thread starter afrocentricity
- Start date
I didn’t realise I could stream PS3 games onto my PS4 with PS Now. Playing abit of Oblivion, nice.
I wonder what Weaste's honest assessment of the hardware would be this upcoming gen
Back in early Xbox One days, MS was being ripped for being a software and not hardware company. And that PS was miles ahead when it came to the device itself.
In One S, One X and seemingly the Series S/X though - all seem to be incredibly well designed machines. Both in architecture and form factor (size, sound, shape, look)

@Redlambs would probably be best placed to answer that.
I've seen quite a few Devs praise the PS5 because it essentially 'carries on' from the PS4 so it's fairly easy to develop for, and the SSD is supposedly extremely impressive. Seen praise and some criticism for the Series X because it essentially moves away from a lot of the One X architecture? Or is that just Devs having a moan?
Either way I do think MS have learned a lot over the past 6/7 years. Still funny how badly they botched the announcement with the Xbox One and how much criticism they got for it, though since then pretty much everything they've done has been about the consumer (from what I've seen anyway), and I think they've managed to gain back a lot of the trust they lost.
Me watching the PS and Xbox fanboys going at it
S is arguably underpowered in RAM and GPU which will hold back an entire generation of games on both PS5 and Xbox.
Dunno how you can say it's well designed!
Imagine GTA San Andreas being forced to run on the PS One to come out on the PS Two

I’ve seen it said multiple times that the Series X is easy to develop for.
Elvis said Nintendo are shit and the tide is turning on the Switch.
Don't console warriors get tired of this shit? It's 2020. Stop caring about this crap and grow up.
Don't you get tired of coming into threads asking people are they tired?
NES was the first console I ever played, followed by the SNES. Super Metroid is probably my favourite ever game. In short, go feck yourself.
Haha you tagged wrong guy
@DixieDean I would not take Elvis telling you to go feck yourself.
Wot.
I had a 360 and with the last gen moved to PS4. I was firmly in the PS5 campuntil the Bethesda acquisition. After that I had a more in depth look at next gen XBox. I've quite liked what I've seen and I'm impressed with Game Pass. Probably still in the PS5 camp but I'm swithering. I won't be purchasing a new console until next year so I'll monitor how both are doing.
Proabably wise. I think both are going to be must own within the next 18 months or so.
Yeah, thats what I'm afraid of, from a financial point of view
PS5 doesn't support saves from PS4 games?
PS5 is in the mud.

Charge for upgrades too on first party games.PS5 doesn't support saves from PS4 games?

I saved Last of us 2 just to play it on the PS5. I swear if I have to pay for it again, I will build a doll that looks like @evil_geko and throttle it as he’s always going on about how that games amazing.
No console is a must own.
Wait so if you saved it to play it on the ps5 then why didn’t you wait to buy it as well?Charge for upgrades too on first party games.

Because I was originally going to play it on PS4. Then got stuck playing other games, so thought I might as well wait for the upgraded PS5 version. I buy all my games day one rather than wait.
Is this for first party games too. Read that saves of Yakuza from PS4 will not be supported on PS5 and that is more to do with trophies. Surely, this problem should not be there on first party games.PS5 doesn't support saves from PS4 games?

PS5 further into the mud.
Still waiting for some gameplay footage from new games...:
Can you use external storage?
Xbox Series S looks like a pile of shit. You can clearly see that MS wanted people to get the Series X from two decisions: limited 512GB storage and expensive proprietary storage expansion. I'm not a fan of less RAM and no disc drive either. No thanks, I'm going with Series X.
As for PS5, I will wait for clarity on backward compatibility before I decide whether to buy this. On Xbox, as far as I know, you can just put old discs and Smart Delivery will make sure it works. Looking forward to playing Sunset Overdrive on the Series X.

Yes
Yeah but it’s very expensive
I'd be happy paying £70 for games if the feckers lived up to expectations.
Thats the big problem these days. A lot of games fall short from the off

I'm happy that I am using the Series S for last gen games. Should run them well and smoothly and I don't need to fork out these prices!
Sony needs to go the Apple route and price the peasants out. Sick of their pissing and whinging.
Yep. Still waiting! Console is out in 6 weeks ffs
What games?
People are overstating the need for more RAM for series S. You can still run games with 8GB or ram so 10 will be doable for the next three years. RAM is just one component of a whole list of other important components. Series S will do absolutely fine for 1080p gaming until we have have a mid-gen refresh.
Plenty of people were fairly adamant that the £70 price tag wouldn't stick. Were those anonymous internet commentors discussing video games wrong? Doesn't sound plausible.
Whether it sticks or not, I personally won't be paying those prices.... Y'all can do what you want though.
