Gaming PS5 vs Xbox Series S|X
- Thread starter afrocentricity
- Start date
Well, tbf, I actually like most of them. But after playing the beta for this one, I have big doubts.You know if people stopped buying it they might decide to actually improve it considerably
Not sure if it’s incredibly sad or what, but as a 40 year old I’m really quite excited about next 2 weeks. 2 new shiny boxes under my TV.
I’m getting one of my kids a ps5 too
Pray for my credit card

Any consolation my 65 year old dad is more excited then me for his console he's booked the day off work!
Ah that’s lovely
In 25 years I will be like that too probably
I was considering taking days off for them as I have holidays to use up, but I don’t trust couriers to deliver to me on release day. Haven’t got my shipping confirmation yet for my Xbox from GameStop.
Dam, some oldies getting excited for the consoles and I can't find any excitement.
We should enjoy console launches when they happen, though. Because I reckon there are only another 2 or 3 to come.
Well if it’s 3 more gens that’s 20+ years. More likely streaming will be perfect in that time so yeah the hardware might be a thing of the past, but I don’t see end to PlayStation, Xbox or Nintendo
Yeah, I think streaming still has 20 years to go to replace consoles. Nintendo are the ones who could be left behind one day, but who knows.
This is the first time I've not really felt like this is a must have upgrade. Atleast not to jump out and buy the thing at full price.
The games feel a bit meh, the need for a new style of TV just seems like an improve of graphics and apart from the PS5's dualsense I've not seen much that's changed at all.

Yakuza.
Got AC Valhalla, Dirt and DMC 5 preordered for Xbox. But been looking forward to play Yakuza and see the new direction they taken it in.
That's true and the one thing that does excite me about these consoles.
This isn’t very surprising at this point
Let them enjoy it.
Elvis is nearly 50 and has been behaving like a kid all this time.
You really just going to play COD? No wonder you are not excited.
I was 30 last week. It’s the simple things that give me the most pleasure so yes I am excited for new consoles and new games.
Haha, so you are older than me.
But what matters to me is when I am going to get my apology from you? For all the personal attacks over these last few months. I’d be a bit more cultured and will accept a bow in shame.
34 tomorrow and I’m pissing my pants more than my 5 month old, with the excitement!
give me a box of Lego now and I’m in heaven
I apologise for my personal attacks and insults. I hope we can move forward and forge a new friendship to coincide with the release of the new consoles.
Cut your pinky finger and post it to me if you really mean that.
@DixieDean you the most boring it seems. COD isn’t out till Friday. So what will you be playing on it?
I will fire up Gears 5 and Horizon 4 since I hear they're the best looking. The only problem is I have to dl them again. Maybe ori, as well.
It'll be like that scene in Transformers 2 when they bring Optimus back to life
Me and you are the exact same age...
It will get better
I was a bit deflated but my PS3 at launch
The games I had (motorstorm and something else) were vastly improved graphically compared to what could be done on a PS2... And yet the games at launch weren't as fun as what was on PS2 already and all seemed to have lost the ability to do splitscreen.
You've bought a new console at the worst time which is launch. Get cyberpunk on it and it will start to feel next gen
Why would I break the habit of a lifetime

Recording clip on Series X|S is 3 minutes at 720p or 1 minute at 1080p. That is really weird.
PS5 is up to an hour. 10-15 minutes should be long enough to trim down to the clip you want (I had it at 15 mins on PS4), but 1 minute is ridiculous. Should be something Microsoft can easily sort out if they want to though.

I am pretty sure last gen it was 5 minute max and PS4 share button was automatically 15?
Agree it needs to be longer. Maybe it was a decision to push people to streaming but now they don't have mixer then there's no real need for that now.
Might just be a thing that was never a priority for MS. There wasn't a share button on Xbox One controllers and though I didn't play on it, apparently sharing clips was better with mobile or something?
The 15 mins on PS4 was great but sometimes I forgot whether it was a single press or double press of the share button which brought up the last 15 minutes.
I know there's probably been mixed experiences but to me, it's weird that a console so iterative can feel pretty transformative to be honest (go ahead and roll eyes Lambs). Doesn't apply for those with gaming PCs and less prevalent for those with the One X/Pro I'm sure.
Journos obviously spoke up both consoles speed in UI, loading times, ability to breathe life into old titles. Those journos have a Pro/One X and almost always a top end gaming PC.
Coming from the One S the difference is huge. Yes it's like an iPhone that the UI and apps are the same, but it's like going from the iPhone 4 to the iPhone 10 (X?) in one leap.
Yesterday was a bit shit as I spent the day downloading everything rather than bit by bit. I had planned to play whilst downloading but there seems to be a bug stopping that happening which was pretty annoying.
Last night and this morning though bouncing between games at speed, loading up rapidly (some outliers with lots of unskippable splash screens ofc) has been ace.
Filled the drive and have plenty more Id like to chuck on. Might invest in a 1TB SSD (not the proprietary one).
Yes it's day 2 but it's clear to me I'll be playing games more often as a result. The load times and inability to switch with ease are always a big barrier for me cause I'm a lazy bastard.
Anybody going from PS4 to PS5 is obviously in for a bigger treat. As you get all the above plus new UI, controller and a few titles which go further to showcasing the capability of next gen (Spiderman MM, Dark Souls). Some of that is a novelty and the biggest stuff long term are the things I've spoke about, but will make for an ace launch and a much better experience going forward.

I agree with you. The convenience factor is suddenly ramped up no end, which suits the Xbox a heck of a lot given its role as a GamePass machine.
I'm still curious about Sony and how long they can hold out with the more old school method of delivering games via individual experiences. I reckon by mid-gen they'll be feeling a lot of pressure to have PS Now as their primary delivery method.
It'll be interesting to see how developers react too because there's already been some clamoring to increase the RRP of games. I reckon most will be expecting the opposite.
Sony's certainly helped themselves with the haptic controller. At this point, it's a genuine reason to experience new games in a different way.

So not a good job by capcom on both consoles.
So incredibly close that it will come down to the games available, i know which corner im backing in that race, but both look great performance wise.
Games and apps
Gamepass is a killer app, it's pretty undeniable
Both clearly have huge potential and a wicked starting point for the next 5 years or so
Totally agree, i'll sit back and watch to see if Microsoft live up to their promise of the top class games from their studios still currently very sceptical.
If i'm wrong just more good games to play win, win all round.
Fair enough.
I'll no doubt massively regret this this comparison, but it's like when City got petrol money and at first bought Jo, Wayne Bridge and Wright-Philips. Easy to scoff but then they buy David Silva, Yaya Toure and Kun Aguero and you start to sit up a little.
The galactico approach doesn't always work out. On paper the quality and quantity is there for all to see, but like football doesn't always play out how it should. Manager disconnect, appropriate backing, culture challenges and fan expectations can all get in the way.
I hope i'm wrong but you only have to go on a quick top rated games for the previous xbox on metacritic to see microsoft studios for the whole generation was basically irrelevant.
Because they had no studios
They've gone from about 6 to 24 in 2 years (Inc Bethesda)
If you add the Bethesda games alone to the list, it gets a lot better (then add Outer World's, Hellblade, Flight Sim)
It's like saying Chelsea probably won't have a decent attack this year because last year they had Tammy Abraham upfront
