Gaming PS5 vs Xbox Series S|X

[Shamwow]

That is weird. Most of the time you like to play games while another one is downloading in the background.

Either it's an oversight or to do with the PS5's SSD being better.

Both are quicker than last gen, haven't noticed a difference in download speed when idle but if you're playing a game PS5 is miles ahead. The Xbox is so frustrating, even if you're playing an offline game your download speed is throttled it's so annoying.

True, I've not seen a setting around that. BTW is there a way to throttle the downloads on the X in general? I've not had a problem with download speeds, but I've noticed it is a bandwidth hog.

Exactly mate it does my head in! One of the worst things about the Xbox. I've got a quick connection so Im loose with my hard drive and constantly downloading things to try for 30 before downloading something else.

to be fair Microsoft probably weren't expecting people to actually play any games whilst downloading seeing as there are no good ones.

Harsh but true. Great post.

Interesting to see Control Ultimate edition is nearly 50% smaller on PS5 thanks to the compression used compared to the series X version.

Same game, same assets nice little perk.

That is good.

Needed mind, considering the pretty shit memory setup of PS5 at launch (not just less memory but needing 100gb spare just to play PS4 games - what a joke). In the long run I'd take the compression though if that sort of difference becomes a standard thing (I'm guessing not to the extent of 50% but maybe 30%)

Shame they couldn't compress the size of the console itself

am i doing this right?

But not a horror game to get if you care about gameplay or jump scares though, because it has neither.

You lying bastard

Since the PS5 was released last November, players have taken to social media to share stories about DualSense drift. One user reported the issue 10 days after receiving their PS5, stating they tried every possible fix—power-cycling the console, turning Bluetooth on and off, resetting the controller, and, finally, charging it fully overnight—to no avail.

Once I eventually made it through to a person, I was told that DualSense drift is covered under warranty. You will, however, have to pay for shipping your controller to a Sony repair center—a cost that varies based on a number of factors, including location and the total weight of your package—but Sony apparently covers the return shipping. No recoup on whatever you pay for that first shipping label.

Tell @afrocentricity that.

They should just make the sticks haptic

Not gonna lie, I've got stick drift and I'm gonna have to send my controller back a second time... Like wtf?

Afro man, look after your controller better.

I'm blaming my kids

In other news...

As an owner of both consoles I was wondering which had the best 4K Blu-Ray player.


Wonder no more! Vincent Teoh is the man when it comes to this stuff.




Spoiler - it’s the PS5

You can't tell the difference between 30fps and 60fps, so not surprised.

Great post.

We’re back at the point of the ps5 not having much going for it. People even admitting the exclusives aren’t that good in the ps thread.

I hope there’s some good news soon as I’ve grown quite fond of you guys.

 

[Ainu]

I just wish I could actually buy the fecking thing so I could say something about it. At this rate I'll be going to concerts again before I get a PS5.

They might have expandable SSD in the next year.

I too have grown to accept them.

Makes sense we have reports of stick drift on the DS5 and not the Xbox controller. Can't get stick drift if there ain't any games to play.

Great post. Also Xbox’s controller is so great people go and spend £150 on a new controller as soon as they’ve bought the console.

 

[Bojan11]

I'm bored of the fanboy shite now was funny for about a week.

Now it's just a yawnfest.

Just give us actual news and gameplay footage and stuff.

All you going through 20 articles to find one bad article about something to do with the console you're not in love with.

Great post.

Why have you run away from the death stranding thread?

Deal breakers right there... Games? Who needs games?

Let’s not fight facts with repetitive sensationalism now lads

 

[VeevaVee]

Strange one. Hope they figure out a way to get fog on ps5. I for one think it’s definitely capable of it

well this probably makes any possible sequel to PS3 ‘Heavy Rain’ rebrand into ‘No Rain’
