PlayStation 5 - Review Thread

Yes it does work.
This gonna be gud.
Activities are deep links, which let you search for a team deatmatch for example right form the OS and you don't need to start the game for this. That feature reappeared now on PS5 after Xbox tested and then decided to not go further with it due to HDD on Xbox One.
RDR2 worked in QR. I guess what happened to them is that their save state got quietly deleted and that's the most annoying part of Quick Resume currently. Because if you put to many games in there, then one game save state will be out in the bin. Currently without notification. Which is dumb, but easy to fix.
QR works even after a power cycle. And even after a system update.
According to sony they want to keep optimizing BC until launch
The Series X could also play games. Including next gen ones. Yet, I'm told not to buy it because there are no games. They didn't even compare the games that available to both systems to see how they stacked up. The reviews were all "yea, but".
That being said, I can't wait to play my PS5 next week. I love the new UI and that Demon's Souls remake is just *chef's kiss*. So while I think there is an advantage as far as first party games, I think they should review the actual hardware and its features. Not that it has first party support at launch or not. We already knew that.
That's not what I mean.
With Quick Resume I could suspend Miles Morales, swap the disc out for a Blu-Ray movie, and then return the Spidey disc later to immediately pick up where I left off.
See above.
No BC talk until the 11th it seems if this thread is correct.
lol, I can't even begin to think about that shitshow right now...
That's so stupid, the console is out in 6 days, let them show how the BC works on your console...
The main 2 problems for that to happen in Destiny are:
1. You'd need a card for each different character or it'd just work with your most/last played character.
2. Bungie.
Well we can agree to disagree :)
I prefer being able to just jump into a game at any point in seconds then navigating cards that give me pre-determined options but to each their own.
I would say online staff are less likely to be right and the video that talks about it the guy says he hadn't spent that much time with the system. I assume we will know in 15 mins give or take.
What a ridiculous thing to say, just as if someone were to downplay Xbox's lack of parity with the DualSense. It's a genuine next-gen feature.
Really glad to hear that the system isn't loud. It's what I was most concerned about. I am much more inclined to get the system now.
I agree with this. Reviews aren't even officially out and it's already this bad.
Let's wait and see. This review from Metro is kinda vague about this and the writer seems to not know what quick resume actually is.
The Switcher is supposed to be something like history, I'd guess a list of games I last played would be on it. When you jump using the Switcher to another game, where would you start? Would it be like a cold boot? Or jump to where I last left the game?
It could be something like a quick resume for all we know.
I believe most PS5 games boot to menu in under 10 seconds, which is as quick as fast resume anyway.
Although it has to be said quick resume also means being able to quit the game anywhere, at any time and resuming it exactly where you left, so it's more than just a fast boot to menu.
Activities sound great, as do many of the OS level settings which i've been hoping would be implemented for a long time now.

its 7.46am and this made me laugh out loud, after the week I have had so far thanks for this.
At this point all i want is them to acknowledge it exists. So frustrating. Id take 30 fps locked ffs.
They are bit too much. Wasn't there an embargo on if the PS5 HDMI cable was 2.1? Lol
Hey, we all have different wants and needs so this is a bummer for some but not others like you say.
For the activity cards though, it will in practice for some games work just as fast as quick resume so for those who aren't juggling multiple games at once the lack of it will mean nothing.
Couldn't agree more. And there's also another embargo that apparently lifts on the 11th of November lol 🤦🏽♂️
must be some super secret stuff🤷🏽♂️
The differences are going to be the biggest nothing burger ever.
Games where you can save anywhere > functionally identical
Games with multi > advantage to activities
Games with checkpoint save system > advantage quick resume (but with caveat that quick resume supports recent games only).
Quick resume... we talkin' about Quick resume, not a game, no, not the near instant loading times..... we talkin' about quick resume..

But we know how it works. You pop the PS4 disc in or download from PSN or transfer from a PS4, then you play the game. There's also a Boost Mode that bumps up games with unlocked framerates and/or dynamic resolution.
it makes sense then MS showed this first and Sony is showing it last. hope its as well done or close to what MS is doing
I should point out that there is a lot of talk about quick resume because Sony choose to keep things like this secret. So it's something everyone wants to know and we are only just finding out right now at the same time.
They can market the system however they like, there are advantages and disadvantages to the open approach of marketing versus the "shh, it's a secret" approach. If they told us about this weeks or months ago then it would be old news by now.

lol, quick resume is a cool feature on Xbox. It all depends on how quick PS5 can get you into games, if it's as fast as it looks it might not matter.
