Gaming PS5 vs Xbox Series S|X

[Bosws87]

Obvs, but that’s meaningless if you can’t put the bullets in to the guy quicker than he can you. You’re still gonna come face to face with people.

Any decent player will overshoot where people are preaiming too, so reactions and accuracy still count for something, plus there’s always the chance of being third partied. That happens to everyone, no matter how much game sense they have.

Also a good chance you win if you can smash it into someone’s head while they’re hitting body shots.

If your controller is vibrating like mad during all of this it’s definitely going to affect things.

I'm so used to vibration i don't think i even notice it anymore.

with FOV sliders finally on console games and the choice of framerates slowly becoming the norm be interesting to see how many choose performance over visuals especially in competitive gaming.

Might be a shift from higher resolution and 30 frames

Yeah almost certainly. Mad that we’ve been forced to play against people that can literally see more and faster.

In competitive? Not a single person in the world would choose anything other than performance and highest fov.

The question more will be if the devs are smart enough to stop tying autoaim tracking with the fps and learning from the mistakes made by the likes of Fortnite and War zone.

It is absolutely mad.

Made even worse by trying to give controller/console litteral aimbot and thinking that balances it.

If they want to allow consoles in crossplay, they should allow console gamers to tailor their experience like the PC can. It will never be equal obviously, but give people a chance at least!

You're giving all the persons in the world too much credit I'm afraid.

 

[Adamsk7]

I’ve seen the PS5 box and I don’t think you’re ready for how large it is.

my reaction was like one of those porn videos where the woman unsheathes a giant sausage from a pair of tracksuit bottoms....

Again, in competitive?

 

[Ainu]

Again, in competitive?

I'm sure there will be plenty who play competitively online and don't even bother changing those settings from the default. You don't think so? Unless by competitive you only mean serious players.

In order to pre-load Black Ops Cold War, you must have the following free drive space on your platform:

PlayStation 4: 95GB

PlayStation 5: 133GB

Xbox One: 93GB

Xbox Series X|S: 136GB

Note: console players can choose to uninstall specific game mode packs, such as for Campaign or Zombies, in order to reduce the game’s overall file size. This content can be managed in-game through the “Account & Network” section of the Settings menu.

 

[BluesJr]

Something needs to be done about file sizes. Ridiculous.

 

[VeevaVee]

There's gonna be a lot of people that want Cold War and Modern Warfare installed. That's the PS5 full

 

[Rooney1987]

Not exactly.

No native 1440P output support for the PS5 apparently. Will be scalping mine. XS wins.

 

[Sara125]

I don’t know where else to ask it so I apologise for derailing the thread but I missed out on my two free October PS plus games because my PS4 been stuck in safe mode can I still redeem them in November?

No. You should just use the app to redeem them.

 

[Sara125]

Aww thanks anyway

For future reference you can redeem PS+ games on the web store but it is a bit of a mess with the store visual update so don't ask me how.

Disc drive? I'll take it off you on release if so

 

[afrocentricity]

Scalping other cartards is not allowed... Has to be sold at cost!

Well yeah that's part of the unspoken agreement I'd hope

Star Wars: Squadrons
PlayStation 5
Star Wars: Squadrons runs with improved lighting on PS5 at the same resolution and framerate as the PS4 Pro.

Xbox Series X/S
Star Wars: Squadrons offers up two options on Xbox Series X/S: better visual quality or better performance. Better visual quality means an improved lighting model, running up to 2160p/60 FPS on Series X and up to 1440p/60 fps on Series S. Better performance takes that same resolution and bumps it up to up 120 FPS on both of Xbox's consoles. If you have a television that supports Variable Refresh Rates, Motive added a toggle in the menu for that.

Like how that guy pulls out a negative comment, cutting out the glowing one that comes immediately after. Sounds like a right whopper from that thread as well.

Could we be witnessing the downfall of Sony? Is this history happening?

Load times in BC titles on both.

Series X is faster.

Interesting literally every review I saw (all the ones posted here) said it was absolutely painless and praised the mobile app for being able to set it up whilst it was downloading the initial update.

Is it just because these were trying to setup without a connection?

Who are these? Above clown doesn’t have one.

 

[Alock1]

Wow I thought PS5 would be quicker. I thought that was the whole point. Less TFs but quicker SSD?

Is it just because it's back compat titles but new next gen games should take advantage and load quicker?

Let's be honest a few seconds is nothing. Just surprised.

 

[esmufc07]

Resume from standby is very impressive on Xbox.

Expected PS5 to be quicker like @Alock1 said, but I'd imagine this will be the case for new next gen games.

Agreed, also surprised by that. Pretty sure MHW loads about the same speed on my ps4 slim from my external SSD

 

[macheda14]

Bakalar said in his review for CNET that the back cap games in ps5 had no noticeable improvement in load speeds, but the next gen game ie Spider-Man loaded unbelievably quickly to the point that quick resume wouldn’t have been needed.

 

[VeevaVee]

Hang on. So the one thing the PS5 has going for it - the SSD, is actually slower?
