Scout mode just emphasizes footsteps. I'm guessing it'll need a firmware update to enable UAC2 on consoles, but at least at launch it should work even though it won't be the highest sound quality possible.

Interesting if...decidedly sad take on next gen launches :(. But I can see that thought process. I guess in the end launch lineups just aren't great regardless.
Appreciate you discussing launch DAY versus window lol.
Luckily huge BC with this launch so anything missed or wanting to replay will hopefully all have improvements as well.
In the U.K. it was, I picked it up with resistance day1.
Both good but not great.
You cannot, I've tested to confirm. Same as PS4. Siiiiiiigh.
Motorstorm Demo on the other hand, now we're talking!
Also, who could forget Cash Guns Chaos! and Blast Factor. I mean Blast Factor!
Europe had the best launch game of them all: Gripshift!
It's not like people was saying the XSX controller was bad in the reviews, that would be a contrast. It's just not the highlight like it is here they just mention it's a good refinement of the one controller.
I love the changes to the PS5 but man no way would I feel comfortable saying it was a generational leap. LORD. And of course that's just my opinion having spent a good deal of time with it so far.
Heh, feature wise the PS5 OS seems to be a bit behind the Series X (on release).
No 1440p. No VRR. No quick resume. Can't copy ps5 games to cold storage.
Seems like MS is showing up a bit more prepared in that regard.
DAMNIT! *sigh* Well, looks like I'm going to have to delete some PS4 games off my external...
Can you lay out a hypothetical that you would consider a next gen leap?
Hmm its a good question and one that I think benefits from understanding that a typical and codified setup has a hard time being next-gen without breaking so far that it's not considered within the same formfactor. Like say the Adaptive controller's setups that are possible? Something with like buttons that could be moved around the face of the controller. I do find that the elite, or any ones with back side buttons to be excellent but also not a next gen thing. I would say that while not utilized at all in ways it should have been, originally the touchpad on the PS4, with a redesign could have done some magnificent stuff.
However even on the PS5 that has been relegated to pretending its not a digital pad while treating it identically to a digital pad.
Not being able to copy PS5 games across to a HDD for storage is the strangest omission to me. I'm sure it will be parched in later.
Well makes sense to be honest microsoft is first and foremost a huge software company
Oh yeah, absolutely. Anyways, I am sure there will be feature parity between the two eventually. It's probably just a matter of time.

This is painful news, I have an lg cx that I wanted to eek all the features out of
Lots of folks saying the dual sense is a game changer and the only real next gen controller. That's pretty good contrast.
Listening to Greg Miller and it looks like there are no folders.
Minor consolation is VRR is broken on the CX anyhow atm with a juddering issue which LG know about and are fixing.
True. People tend to forget because later on the lineup was amazing, but neither PS2, 3 or 4 had many big games at launch. Maybe PS1 with Ridge Racer?
Have reviewers talked about what the experience of connecting the PS5 to a 1440p monitor (or TV) is like?
Doesn't VRR also have gamma issues in both C9 and CX which are still unclear if they'll be fixed?
Oh man, this scares me more than anything else...
Great feature nonetheless lol.
One thing regarding VRR, people have pointed out that Sony has advertised the PS5 with VRR support in the past. So it probably will get added in the future via update.
Equally you could consider the native time played counts, system-set options for games and activities cards in its favour.
Apparently it even clocks previous PS4 playtime which would be glorious.
Idk, after watching and seeing Digital Foundry's captures, that ray tracing is just too good. Fidelity mode for me.
Software (not game development) has never been Sony's strong point, and I doubt it will ever be.
I was just about to ask about VRR and seeing this is a bit of a letdown. Was really hoping that some of the launch titles would have VRR :(
Both have stuff the other doesn't, surprise. 😆 UI is clearly something that evolves on both platforms. What you get from day 1 isn't going to be the same months/years from now.
And I do think they are fantastic features! I always loved the 3ds activity log so playtime counts are right up my ally. Default subtitles and performance mode are great as well.
The thing is, all these things are UX features, not OS features that give me options on how I play or store my games. Like, MS seems to be ahead on the technical side of things when it comes to how the OS can interact with games.
