I mean, pretty much every review says the ps5 feels the more "next gen" of the two.
Gaming PS5 vs Xbox Series S|X
- Thread starter afrocentricity
- Start date
No.
Its good on both consoles. Just the way one x and PS4 pro were designed for favours PS5 in FPS. As Pro is running most games in dynamic resolution compared to 4K on One X.
Well it will. That's what Sony have positioned it as and spent time on. It's got a new UI, a new controller and comes with some features which may or may not turn out to be gimmicks.
Xbox Series X is iterative.
Doesn't make the PS5 the better device.
Look at you, over there, enjoying your gaming on your inferior machine.... you can't possibly be enjoying your gaming as much as I am on my superior machine... no sir.
Hides nintendo switch under a newspaper.

Well the ps4 was better than the xbone so if the ps5 is next gen and the series X is iterative then..
The gaming world appears to consist of children who can't look past a shiny new UI and a new controller
Xboxers are the Donald Trump’s of the Caf. No reasoning with them.
One of the biggest defenses I used to hear about the 360 and XBONE was that the UI and controller were better.Aww they're excited today
Exactly. End of the day it is about the games. Nintendo has fun games, PS5 has fun games, Xbox will probably have fun games and as long as you enjoy what you're playing, that is all that matters rather than these insipid console wars.
Which is better isn't the point here. It's people saying they're excited for next gen solely because of a new one.
Is what I'd be saying if I had the inferior console that's only more exciting on launch day.
That is literally the entire point of this thread.
Relax. There wasn't this petty squabbling and bitching when the Series X reviews were out yesterday. Now the PS5 reviews are out, it is like a portion of the caf can't bear to see the other side happy.
That's not what we're talking about right now though. We're talking about the people buzzing over it feeling more next gen because of a new UI.
The One X was better than the Pro though. Hardware wise.
The real advantage Sony has had is with its first party game output. That is almost guaranteed to change this gen.
2 great consoles at play and both will push strong games out in a year or two.
There should've been. This is what the thread is for. I don't think anyone is being serious. We've been having a laugh with our petty squabbles for months now. I think at the end of it we're all gonna have a big hug
How dare people be happy that their next-gen console feels really next-gen. Personally I'd be far happier if my 500e console was iterative.
That soon for MS you reckon?
Looking forward to what games Sony can deliver in 2020. Hoping the pandemic doesn’t cause a series of delays.
They're both going to be great but I have a PC so I don't need a Series X ergo it's more fun to take the piss out of the series X.
I do think Series X owners will be waiting an extra year or two for great exclusives, too.
They used it as a point against Xbox. If people are more excited for the new stuff, which they'll soon get used to, than what comes after then so be it.
Just a product of both being reviewed now, if they were done the other way around it would probably have been the opposite.
Well, Gears Tactics is out on launch (80 metacritic), Halo is launching next year, and Flight Sim (92 metacritic on PC) will be coming by next year too (hopefully h1)
State of Decay 3, Hellblade 2, Forza 8 all have potential to be 2021 and I'd expect all to be great games.
I am sure there is stuff in the works we don't know about too.
it kinda is, though. Like, it's an advantage that the PS5 has over the Xbox.
it's like me saying that the Xbox being more powerful doesn't matter because I don't care about how powerful the console is - that doesn't mean it's not still an advantage for the Xbox.
come on Damien. This is what this thread has been about the whole time. There's a PS5 thread for the more serious discussion on it. The funny thing is, it all booted off because of you guys being silly about Xbox. I'm pretty sure we all want each other to be happy, but if you come in the vs thread, you've gotta be expecting a retort.But power is for life, not just for Christmas.
If not optimised for the console, that appears to be the case.
I honestly don’t see the point in installing a game to an external HDD when you’d have to transfer it to an internal SSD to play it anyway? Surely it’s quicker and easier to just download it from your library when you want to play it?
Saves on downloading it again. Remember we digital buddies.
Meh it’s such a minor issue for me. Something Sony May patch with a future firmware update though.
No quick resume function on PS5? Surely that's something they can patch in though? It shouldn't matter too much with the load speeds tbh, but I also imagine the HDD capacity would make it an issue.
Some more Xbox's are going up for order on Tuesday the 10th. That's if anyone else on this forum gives a shit!
Do you have to download the entire game for that, or just an extra like an 'enhancement pack'?
It's much quicker going from a HDD to the SSD then it would be to dl the whole thing again. That's the point of it.
For sure! Not everyone has fibre. If you habe 5-10mb/s, it would take at least 6 hours!
That is why I asked, as transferring is done in max 20 minutes
Close the thread.
Tl;dr?
Giant Bomb / Beastcast have done a joint show talking about the new consoles.
Haven't said much on the Xbox (they've been speaking about it already this week so not sure what they overall take is) but they love the PS5

- Generally amazing console
- Controller 'badass' in Astro
- Very subtle use in Spiderman but it is used to show tension in swinging which they really liked
- Really fast, Spiderman loading is insane from menu to swinging (except weird occasions where it takes 15seconds and shows splash screens)
- Forza and Gears loading on XSX load really quick, a bit faster than a PC SSD. But for people with a decent SSD on a top end gaming PC, it'll feel familiar. Spiderman loading feels 'different' in how quick it loads. Interesting to see if when a XSX game built for the SSD comes out, how close it gets.
- UI is exciting at first but only a lick of paint, quickly underneath becomes the same as PS4 and the stuff that has been changed has been changed for the worst (they label is the 'get it out the fecking door' UI that they expect to evolve and improve in time)
- They don't pick a UI they like most and say they are on par. Xbox lacks the excitement of a new UI but is really robust and mature. PS5 clumsy and can be confusing but lots more control (where Xbox makes it as easy as possible but less control). ('smart delivery' Vs 'not smart delivery' when it comes to game access)
