In last week's episode of the players' opinions, we devoted ourselves to talking about Xbox Series and reviewing the most important points about the device's reviews, and we asked you whether those reviews encourage you to buy the device or if they disappoint you. Now, a few days before the launch of the PS5 in the Arab markets, we will ask you the same question about the PlayStation 5 and your opinion of initial impressions about it, whether evaluations or the experiences of early users after its launch in the US and other markets.
Positives
- I will start with the most praised thing about the PlayStation 5, which is the Dualsense controller, which has been described as giving you the feeling of a paradigm shift in a generation. According to Digital Foundry, Dualsense is revolutionary in the literal sense and it has an elegant design. The feeling cannot be described in words and you have to hold a hand to understand the emotion that Haptics and Adaptive give us.
- Dualsense hands will come with a larger battery, but it reaches the same number of hours as the PS4 tool because it contains more features.
- The joystick is very comfortable to use.
- What raised the players' questions the most was the issue of the thermal platform's performance, but the evaluations confirmed that the performance was excellent. The platform did not get hot, and its temperature reached 34 degrees in the SoC area, which is a precedent, and it was silent all the time without sound for the fans. From the PS4 Pro, it was confirmed even colder than the Xbox Series X, according to the heat test results of both. Even The Verge reported that the platform's temperature was almost negligible and had no sound.
- The user interface looks futuristic and luxurious Sony really excels in giving you this feeling that you are really on the verge of a new generation. The interface works with 4K, which increases its elegance clearly, and it will enable you to access almost everything in it with the press of a button. Navigation is fast and smooth.
- The idea of activities in the interface won the admiration of many, as it allows you to enter at any point of the play, and there is also the Game Help feature, which provides PlayStation Plus owners with auxiliary media without the need to use YouTube and risk watching burning content for games.
- There are other new features such as Game Presets, which are preset options, such as the difficulty you prefer, the graphic styles, whether performance or graphics and the activation of subtitles or audio subtitles, so that these preferred options are chosen in which the game will work before running it.
- An encouraging system for players on the network called "Accolades" or the new "Medals" will serve as a measure of a reputation for players across the network as they will be rewarded with three medals, Helpful, Welcoming, and Good Sport, according to their behavior with the rest of the community of players.
- The PlayStation 5 will be able to count the number of hours of gameplay that you have played in any game that was on his account, whether for eighth or new generation titles.
- Digital Foundry enriches Spider-Man Miles Morales' light tracking feature, and the download speed and navigation of her world was amazing.
- The currently prevailing impression conveyed by critics says that the PlayStation 5 is the one that gives the player the real taste and the actual taste of moving to the next generation and experiencing his games thanks to its joystick and gaming features. Which was reported by PlayStation official Shuhei Yoshida.
Negatives or defects
- The first criticism was about the huge size of the device, for example, the editor of The Verge stated that he did not know where to put it when he saw it as the first negative. Others said it was really bulky but had a modern design at the same time.
- Storage capacity was considered by many to be the problem, as with 667 GB, seven games were enough to nearly fill the storage space.
- This problem becomes greater with the announcement that you cannot store PlayStation 5 games on external storage only on the SSD, but Sony was quick to respond to these criticisms by saying that it may launch an update to allow the device's games to be stored on an external disk. But currently, the only solution is to delete, especially since the device will not support reading additional SSD chips at all!
- There is no support for ALLM in Xbox devices, so the player will have to manually activate Game Mode from the TV by himself to have the lowest possible delay factor.
- There is no Quick Resume feature for the PS5 and we had seen how important it is to have this special feature in Xbox Series with Black Ops Cold War and how some of those who bought the Cross-Gen version was playing the PlayStation 4 instead of the PlayStation 5 on their new device and without even knowing So, we even published a special article explaining how to make sure that the correct version is running on the Playstation 5. If this feature were present, it would have automatically launched the new generation version.
- Backward Compatibility games do not have a terrible development in their loading screens - here is the reason for here - as much as they perform as these games have become more stable in frames.
- It has been confirmed that the PS5 does not support a display resolution of 1440p, which means that if you play it on a screen of this resolution, in this case, the PlayStation 5 games will work on the monitor either with 1080 resolution up to 1440 or 4K resolution down to 1440p. Sony responded to this point was that it might support it in the future "if the demand is sufficient"
- There is no support for the variable refresh rate, which means that the dream of 8K has also become more difficult, and the device has been tested on an 8K TV, although the resolution remains 4K, Sony also said that support for this resolution may come with an update in the future and I think that this is related to visual media and movies
- There are no dynamic UI Themes This might be frustrating for those who pay to purchase some themes to change the look of their device's UI.
- The lack of support for the 3D sound feature on the TV speaker at the launch, as it seems that this feature will be supported only on headphones currently, and this may frustrate some because Sony has promoted a lot for this feature and many were looking to take advantage of it without the need to connect a headphone but directly on the TV speakers. Also, a Digital Foundry analyst saw that it does not justify its importance for a moment and has not yet borne fruit.
- The lack of support for 120 frame speed in a number of games while it itself supports it on Xbox Series like Warzone, Rocket League, and the latter developer. Compatibility on the device. In Series X, however, achieving this command only requires a simple configuration file.
