Yeah me too. I’m not paying more than $500 on a console unless it’s super rare and collectible. If I want a powerful gaming machine that’s more than $500, I might as well get a gaming PC and it’d be as powerful or WAY more powerful than a PS5.
Your relationship with your mom and how it influenced your Love of video games and what you did to commemorate your mom makes me respect you even more along with more of your subscribers!!! 😇😎👍
dude I just realized I've been watching you since 2012 when you only had like 5k subs i think? I'm 22 now and i was 13 then, so weird how life works. And youve still been consistent since then all along, hard work pays off. Keep up your passion bro always my go-to for insight on all things gaming
I really want to see Sony go all in on backwards compatibility. They have a PS1 emulator that plays 99% of the ps1 library that has been used in the pd2 slim model 2, all ps3, psp, and psvita. We know they could do PS2. While PS3 would be more difficult they could most definitely do it but it might be more like the Xbox approach where they have to modify the emulator on a game by game basis which might prevent the full library.
PS3 should be easy for them. My computer is weaker than the PS5 and I'm playing plenty of PS3 games at locked framerates and higher resolutions than the PS3. If a bunch of randoms on the internet can do it then the muti-billion dollar company with full knowledge of the system can.
For most of my gaming life I've primarily been a console gamer, however with the recent trends of companies trying to exploit us, Sony anti consumer practices, huge patches for supposedly physical games I actually think pc is a better choice then consoles, specially if you buy from gog. Think about it, they're usually cheaper, you don't get charged for online, cloud saves are free and if and when a game is all patched up you can just save it to a bluerey disc and you now have a more complete version of a game in a physical form plus also digital. Granted this is kinda only possible with gog and drm free games.
I still like Console though, it's just easier to manage what with incompatibilities, Win11 sapping performance and such, Steam is a start where you can get like 95% of games you like but inevitably something (like Shenmue 3) will pop up on epic games store or game pass that you like... I like that all console games use one interface. Particularly with current consoles it's kinda going back to the old days where with one quick click your into your game no fuss. PC is close, and in a perfect environment where you may have to do without half or more of PC games, you can still have nearly the perfect experience, but to me console still has it, mostly cuz I'm lazy and probably ADD and will inevitably want that Shenmue 3 only available on Epic Game Store etc. I'd just rather not go through that heartbreak lol.
At age 40 I got my first ever day one console. Crazy enough it was the PS5. Its been mostly a positive year with it. For me learning a new system and what it has to offer along with seeing the differences has and is still one of my favorite aspects of new systems. Hate things being the same. Gets old.
I think the fact Sony made a distinctly new console makes it more exciting to the casual audience. Its the new "Playstation", it automatically markets itself. If they did the cellphone model it would reduce hype considerably i reckon. If they can re-create the feeling of going from PS1 to PS2 every time, they can ride out success until Playstation 3000
I tried the controller with a few games, didn't made me amazed, but probably it is because I'm too much of a mechanic player to care about immersion in games. I just care more about the gameplay mechanics, than story or immersion.
Yeah, I think it was the last Spawncast I heard, they're like I barely play PS5 and when I do it's for PS4 games... and with 4 games in front of Adam (all being launch games as well) lol I can see how that's true xD. Beating myself up cuz on launch day I saw PS5 (disc edition) on Amazon for like half an hour just debating on if I should get it (my credit was maxed esp than so a half a grand purchase really wasn't possible...). I didn't know it was backwards compat with PS4 either or I'd have gotten my brother to get it lol. oh man
25:50 I'm pretty sure Microsoft set the gaming trends with achievement system to the point where PlayStation 3-5 and PC steam and Epic copied the entire system.
23:35 I wouldn't ignore those things because it was Japanese devs themselves that first started saying those things. Examples are how even devs in Japan got forced to turn in all documentation for games in English instead of Japanese. Another thing would be Sony saying it would censor certain games from now on and this is after those same type of games had been released on Sony hardware for years. Now yes, Sony has a history of censoring stuff all the way back to the PS1, there is an interview with Kojima in which he says how annoyed he was when Sony people told him to censor some parts of Policenauts on the PS1. Sony also censored games like Xenosaga 1 and Drakengard on the PS2 but this was always done when a game was released outside of Japan. What Japanese devs are saying is that after the move to California even games in Japan got censored. Just google PlayStation god rays censoring and laugh at all the memes, there was a big backlash when DMC5 got censored in America and Sony had to update the game and take away the God rays, funny thing the PC port and the Xbox One version was uncensored on release. Made me remember the days of the SNES when MK was censored but then Sega released the uncensored version on the Genesis. To tell the truth I am extremely biased on this subject because I cannot stand puritans since I grew up in an insane religious family.
I've had one since April and love it - I have a massive PS4 backlog that I parked when I knew I was getting a PS5. The only PS5 games I have are Demon's Souls, Returnal, Doom Eternal and Dirt 5. I know it's not your thing, but aside from the controller, Returnal is the reason to own a PS5. It's such a mega game and a serious troll move at Nintendo since it's essentially Metroid. And God of War at 60fps is how it was intended and gives it such a boost. Kratos is nowhere near as cumbersome to control as on PS4. I have a Switch and a Series S and the Series S doesn't even get switched on and tbh if it wasn't for my XBLA library I don't know what the point of owning it is.
Great words, especially the last few minutes in the video. I own the PS5 and the Xbox Series X, both with disc drive, because I still want to have the choice. And I love both of this systems. I love the PS5 controller, the coming PSVR2, the exclusive games... And I love the Xbox ecosystem and the Gamepass. One one side I like to have physical versions of games for to collect, share, resell or just have it to be a physical gift under the Christmas tree, On the other side I understand "digital only" is very more practical and makes sense for me. Not different from music, movies and series. Step by step you can play all the retro games on cheap China consoles also, without needing a mountain of cartridges and discs in your room.
Love the story about consoles and your mom. I think everyone that loves this hobby started like that, my case in particular, my parents separated when I was a kid, so mom took charge of me, she bought me all the consoles from NES to PS2, so I can relate a lot. Now as for the PS5, I bought it a few months ago, more driven for the fear of not finding one later, but after finishing demon’s souls I haven’t played anything else on it 😕 it’s very disappointing that it doesn’t have exclusive games that I’m interested, I think, if Sony doesn’t get a good exclusive or fighting game soon, I won’t turn the PS5 on until 2023 when Wolverine or Spider-Man 2 launches. All my 3rd party games I’ll be playing on Xbox because they run better there.
I know a lot of people that don't care about physical releases, that are very happy with the Series S as a cheap way to play new releases using game pass, even if they don't look as good as on Series X.
I know the switch is old already but Metroid dread was the system seller that finally made me buy one. In my opinion Nintendo and Sony both have system sellers but Microsoft really doesn’t. I love my PS5 I think it’s an amazing next gen console.
I glad they resolved the CMOS battery bomb issue, but I'm still pissed at Sony, IT WAS DESIGNED CHOICE, They're people decide to implement this damaging bug. I will never forget that, Sony
Exactly. If you just give every game a PC version, then there’s literally no reason to buy consoles ever again. Some people may be cool with that, and that’s fine, but like Adam said, it’s what makes consoles special, the games they only make for that one machine.
Consoles aren't going to go anywhere even if Playstation releases their exclusives on the PC platform. Consoles are always going to be viable because their ease of use and accessibility compared to a gaming PC. And this is coming from someone who jumped from consoles to PC's back in 2015.
I thought the way you described the triggers was strange. Like, it's 100% different between games between different actions. You'll get more resistance on your finger in certain games and other ones like anything where you shoot a gun, they'll add a sort of click feeling, like you're pulling a trigger. It's immersive on a level where I can hardly believe it. Ratchet and Clank use it amazingly, where you pull the trigger to perform an action and if you pull past the "click" it'll activate a secondary ability. It's not on every game and I really wish it was more widely supported, but when it's there its so nice.
Its really unfortunate, I was really interested in the PS5 until i heard about the CMOS Battery issue. It looks like a great console, but i just can't get over it being useless when PSN goes down. Its the same reason i've given up on the PS4 and I liked that library quite a bit. I just don't want to sink Money into a console that will lock me out of physical games. That kinda defeats the purpose of the console for me. I think that i'm gonna go PC soon as the line has been too blurred between console and PC. The PS5 & PS4 kinda defeat the charm of a console with the CMOS battery issue and the Xbox brand has been basically internet reliant since the XBONE. Might become one of those people who stick with Nintendo and go PC from now on. Too bad really, i've been a console guy because of physical forever.
@@sly2792004 it kinda seems like a bandaid fix. Like, if the problem exists out of the box, then the problem is inherent to the console itself. Its a weird situation all together.
@@Xavious061 it was a software problem, fixed via software. the code was set ups that if it couldn't connect to servers to see what time it really was to not run games. to stop hackers. windows 11 won't work on most pcs due to needing tpm, which most pcs dont have that and. bunch of games require you connect to internet too. these companies are always going be more worried about their profits then us. but its fixed. the software is no longer programed to stop games from being played.
@@Xavious061 like the other guy said, its been patched out of the system, it doesn't matter what happens to psn down the line, physical and digital games will still work. xbox has a much bigger issue with the one and series x where it doesn't seem patchable!
Following what you said about MLB the show... Psychonauts 2 (published by Xbox Game Studios) is also on ps4, which is bizarre as well!! Adam you have been one of my fav. youtuber for a long time now and I am a Shenmue fan thanks to you! When I saw your name in Shenmue III I thought "This guy DESERVES to be here!" . Keep on going with your quality content man!
The way the ps5 looks reminds me a lot of the launch 360 model, the fat white one, i think it might be collectable cause it is such a weird console, and you can bet the next revision will not look like that at all lol
Adam the Dual Sense triggers feel different on certain games because they're adaptive triggers. With the DualSense like you said is all about immersion down to the trigger feel.
Great video Adam! I love both business models and have had the consoles since Nov/Dec of last year. If Sony goes the same way as Microsoft it will be a strategic blunder. And I say that as primarily an Xbox guy. Differentiation is important.
I'm glad Playstation exclusives are coming out on PC. I just played through God Of War with a PS5 controller, ultra graphics settings, and running at native 4K over 100fps on my 82inch QLED 120Hz TV with variable refresh rate. It was simply incredible! Much respect for the team over at Santa Monica Studio. I had a PS4 but I can't play games at 30fps anymore. (For the past few years I've been spoiled by much superior hardware). The strange times in the console space over the past several years made me switch over to PC. The way I see it, the consoles are now more PC-like than ever, so I might as well choose my own hardware.
I do understand the exclusives, they are the system sellers. In my Sega Saturn days, I always wanted Gran Turismo or any Final Fantasy that came out to the Playstation. Nowadays...I don't need any. Final Fantasy titles always ended up on the PC and I finally own Forza Horizon 4...on PC...Damn I even own and already finished Horizon Zero Dawn, a game that I never expected to have...ever...and let me tell you...that game is amazing...Some people even say that Gran Turismo 7 may appear on PC as well.. There aren't that big racing games on Steam, so this would be great news for me. I think that Sony saw how it can profit from the PC gaming market and how much gamers wanted their exclusives. For me this is great but for PS fans I can see how mad they are.
I really like the PS5 hardware and like you said controller so far but I'm still playing a lot more switch because of exclusives. I highly recommend picking up Returnal at some point. Even if you never beat it its really fun to play and takes advantage of the controller and graphically capabilities of the system.
what is legitimately mind blowing to me is how the PS5 is still practically outselling the PS4 in the same timeframe despite the chip shortages, and xbox and Nintendo being in a much better situation this time around and this is with God of War and Spiderman 2 actually coming out yet. I hope the chip shortages don't delay PSVR 2 until 2023 but it will come when things are ready I guess. I still can't believe PS4 is over 8 years old now as well!
It's been over a year, and yet PS5 design didn't grow on my at all. I still think Xbox Series X is the superior console, specially in design. Sad that MS is not willing to invest heavily in kickass exclusives. Sony is going to kick its ass this gen as well just because of it
Such a solid video Adam keep it up!!!! i still need to get the new Ratchet and Clank that game looks really good and I have heard almost nothing but good things about it also I had a hell of a blast with miles morales when I finally got around to playing it and replaying spiderman 2018s remaster has also been a solid expierence, you should really try Scarlet Nexus it is such a good game it has a really compelling story and the gameplay is so good it never gets old for me you can download it on gamepass I did just that and played through Yuitos story bc of that I am at somepoint thinking of picking up a copy for my PS5 bc of how much I have enjoyed it on the Xbox Series X
at this point physical games are a rental property as well. if a game needs a day one patch to function properly "yah you own the game" but a gipped version of the game that to me sounds like a coaster... IDk i embraced digital era a long time ago all my games on the switch are digital and i plan on getting the disk based version of the ps5 but will prob only get digital for the most part.
I have both and I mostly play on xbox but the dualsense is the best ps controller ever I do prefer offset joysticks though but if they had that it would be perfect imo.
I was finally able to get a PS5 in May through GameFly right before Ratchet and Clank which is what I wanted it for. I 100% the game and really haven’t touched it since which is a shame. I want a new Killzone, Medievil, Jet Moto, Wipeout and Sly Cooper but they don’t seem interested in those series. But hey the PS5 looks awesome with the black Darkplates.
DualSense is the MVP. I recommend playing Control on PS5 because damn it feels great with it. Plus, the system ships with such a great showcase of the system (Astro)
Do you have a TV that supports HDMI 2.1 to take advantage of the 120hz mode and the vrr. You should 120hz is awesome. The LG CX from last year is getting cheap and supports those things. The LG OLED’s from this year support too. You definitely need one if you don’t have it.
Good thing you got your PS5 from Best Buy when you did. Just imagine you were delayed just a little bit later and you had to put up with all the *total (-itarian) tech* b.s
Thanks Adam - fantastic analysis as usual from you. :) I'm still rooting for Sony. Grew up with Nintendo in the 80s and then skipped a gen (tho I was one of the weird American kids with an Amiga 500) - then I inherited a PS1 in college and that was that until now. I was hooked. No interest in the Xbox I have a good PC now. Nintendo and Sony it is. If I don't get fired on Jan 4th next year I'll probably splurge for a PS5 and get Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart. One of my favorite series of all time next to Yakuza. Take care and much respect man :>
The sad thing about physical copies nowadays is that they are incomplete and you still need to download patches and updates without which the game would be crippled. While I do appreciate physical copies as material AND independently transferrable keys to games, all that still hurts preservation and is less safe in case of any kind of accidents on the accont of the platform holder, the game licensor, or one's ISP if you find yourself in a need to reinstall the games from scratch, or your hard drive dies, down the road. That said, PS5 looks awesome! For someone who missed the 7th gen and deliberately skipped the 8th one, this one finally means business. I would say, it's not the best PS4 out there, it's THE PS4, as actual PS4s are, well, less then ideal in terms of performance.
At the end of the day, barring much higher involvement in the preservation of games on the part of the IP holders, publishers etc., the only real preservation possible will always entail "pirated" digital copies of the most complete version of a game. You can surface original disks or just play backups of them while you keep the optical drives operational for years on end, but at some point what will remain as a practical solution is only the most up to date pirated version of the game stored on a hard drive on a PC, an ODE storage solution, or installed on the original console with custom firmware. I don't think that's so bad, honestly. As long as you do what you can, within your means, to support the games you like while they're commercially relevant, I don't think anyone can ask more from you.
Adam do you believe that PS5 is is Sony's Sega Genesis in Japan? Genesis as you stated in generation videos HUGE hit in North America disappointment in Japan. Would like to get your opinion. The C-BOMB issue was it any surprise that the digital did not work on all three Sony consoles. That along what you have been telling us is a red flag. Great topics in your videos.
Can you install and play a physical game on PS5 without it being connected to the internet? Or do you need it to be online to download the rest of the game (i.e. Patch)?
Oh man, "thats the game!" Digimon Rumble Arena for the ps1 DBZ Sparking Neo, Crash Twinsanity and Escape fron Monkey Island for the ps2 Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance for the 3DS. Weird picks I know, but those were the games that made me "I should get that console".
Unfortunately, the digital vs. physical argument has sailed. Some games have as little as 1 GB on the disc. If in some future date the servers aren’t there to give you the rest of the game when you go to install it off the disc, are you any better off? The number of situations where having a disc is a benefit continue to dwindle.
I think Starfield from Bethesda will be a system seller for Series X. I'm a huge Bethesda Game Studios fan and I was a PS4 player last-gen, but Starfield being exclusive made me pick up a Series X instead. I'm sure that I'm not the only person who will do this.
I don't understand why Sony would discontinue the all digital PS5 just because the disc model is selling better. As Adam has already said, Sony want all digital only so they would continue to push the all digital model, it's not like no one is buying it. Pretty sure God of War 2018 is coming over to PC to attract PC gamers to Playstation for when Ragnarök comes out only on Playstation
@@AdamKoralik I appreciate your personal responses. Just because the digital model isn't selling as well as the disc model that doesn't automatically mean it is selling badly.
It’s really funny to think about how this console generation has shown us that abundance is really an illusion. Tried getting a os5 for months. Found a series x on Best Buy out of the blue and bought it. I’ve been happy with that decision but in the back of my mind im checking fit this big wifi router from tie to time.
whole heartedly prefer the uniqueness of the PS5. I love that they went wild with the design. I love that the operating system is not the ps4 system. I hope they continue to make them unique cause as cool as the series X is....it is the same....like the same feeling as the one X or S. Controller is almost the exact same as last time. A little better grant it but not unique like the ps5 Controller. I also agree that Controller is one of the best ever. That haptic feedback in the triggers is awesome! Great video
Great video as always. I m 90% a pc gamer, but have ps4 and played GOW. But still will buy it on pc in January because pc always felt like home for me. I understand that feeling of having a specific game for specific console, but in long term, it feels restrictive. Thats why i don't prefer apple ecosystem, but like google's or microsoft ecosystem, especially xbox. Cross-save, crossbuy, features like that makes me like xbox more. I m happy a game is not stuck to 1 piece of hardware because of accessibility and preservation.
It’s funny, I have a PS5 and I don’t have any PS5 games at all. I’ve had one for a year now and I’ve only played PS4 games on it. It makes a great PS4 though.
notification says ps5 one - 1 years later. i was like what? ps: it would be cool that if you own a ps5 digital, you have to pay a little less for the games. pps: i love that the xbox is almost fully backwards compatible with the og games. so no need for a retrotink or framemeister! thats the reason why i will buy an xbox next year if/when prices drop or buy a used one so i can play jsrf or munch etc. man sorry for my bad grammer
I'm one of the few that doesn't care for the new features in the controller. I would most likely disable anything I could if the game was playable that way. I either run rumble on the light side or usually just have it fully disabled on my x. Out of those games, demon souls is the only one that had any interest to me. But I already played and beat it. I like it but not enough to play it again. If it would have been bloodborne, yeah I probably would have. I'm hoping for some really good new IPs on both consoles. Continuing old games is ok but the gold loses it's polish after so long. My hype for the new halo or god of war is at 0 honestly. I never had a problem with a game not or no longer be exclusive to a console. Always seen it as ridiculous with game companies shooting themselves in the foot locking a title to one piece of hardware. Plenty of gamers that have a good pc still game on their playstation or xbox more. I have a friend like that and if he likes a multiplat title enough, he buys it on all of them.
I would argue Xbox did set some trends over the generations that aren't gamepass. MS was the one to set the bar for online gaming. They also were the ones that pushed consoles into the multimedia box territory. You could argue Sony did that as well with their 'It only does everything' marketing campaign for the PS3 but I feel like MS again set the bar for that concept going forward.
@@AdamKoralik I disagree. The online on dreamcast with Fantasy Star and stuff was experimental at best. Microsoft set the standard. As for giving sony the multimedia thing they didn't even have Netflix on PS3 for quite a while. But I see where you're coming from.
@@thatssomegoodpie They started Sega Net with the Saturn in the mid 90s, expanded on it with the Dreamcast. Just because you didn't use it doesn't mean it didn't create the model.
@@AdamKoralik It's one of those cases where yes they 'technically' were the first ones to create the model yet they didn't do it in any impactful way. It's like giving Panasonic credit for developing the pointer tech that's inside the wiimote with their CDI Peacekeeper gun. How many people do you know that actually used the Sega Net service or the Online on Dreamcast? You can probably count those people on one hand as well as the games that actually used it in any meaningful way. Not to mention the Dreamcast used parts of MS's tech to make it even possible. Xbox set the standard for online and made Xbox live a juggernaut of a service with tons of features that Sony and Nintendo are now copying with PS Network and Nintendo Online. Around the time Halo and Halo 2 launched is when online gaming truly became a mainstream thing even though yes you can credit the original DOOM, Quake and other precursors for it as well. I would argue MS has been innovating and pushing the industry forward from the very beginning in terms of services and how we approach gaming from an online context. It just hasn't been as noticable. Sega crawled so MS could walk and eventually run. That's how I see it.
I don’t have a ps5 yet, but I think the reason why I like the switch, is because it feels more traditional to older consoles than the 8th and 9th gen. A lot of carts I have, have the full game on the cartridge or only require tiny updates. Yes there are those that still require massive updates, but it just feels like the old way and like the simple times. These things to me are more computers and it’s a turn off for me
Not a daring prediction of course but pretty sure these will be our last optical drive consoles. Haven't been able to get a PS5 yet but between it being a best version of a PS4 (as well just being a PS5) and having a Sony made UHD player in it I will be taking care of the one I get as best I can for the rest of my days and when/if they go more affordable even may get a 2nd one.
Hey do you think SONY is making the right choice charging $70 for new games considering Microsoft has gamepass and SONY is slowly releasing their exclusives on pc
I don't think Sony copies Nintendo or Microsoft. They had PSNow before GamePass. Sony had PS Plus many years before Microsoft's Games with Gold, existed. People also though Microsoft came up with Smart Delivery. Better known as Cross-Buy. When I powered up my PS4, for the first time, I had 29 free games waiting for me in the library, because I bought the PS3 or Vita versions. And PS Move.. Surely that is copying Kinnect.. Wrong. It's using Eye Toy technology, which also predates the Wii. Sony Move is simply the Eye Toy, with detectable, tactile wands. Microsoft ripped off the EyeToy, and Nintendo ripped off, both the Eye Toy, along with Philips CD-i AirMouse tech, which uses a sensor bar. Philips sued Nintendo and won.
@@AdamKoralik In a way, but no, not exactly. Sony surely didn't copy Nintendo. Sony had the technology long before Nintendo released the Wii. Check out the old PS2 EyeToy tech videos. Richard Marks clearly shows how it's PS2 camera is clearly tracking a stick with a glowing pink ball. He called it a "Wand". It did 1:1 tracking, years before the Wii was released. Sony ditched the Wand and released it with basic hand/motion tracking instead. They soon realized it was a problem when people used it with poor lighting. The glowing wand was brought back, along with built-in gyro controls. They do have buttons, but no directional input. They are more or less just glowing beacons for the camera to judge 3D space. I.E. EyeToy technology. If anything, the add-on Navigator controllers are more like the Wii Remote (with Dpad + buttons). The Move controllers are also far more accurate than the original Wii Remotes, able to judge motion and rotation in all six axis. Nintendo would later try to make theirs on par by adding the Wii Remote Plus add one, and fully replacement controllers.
I will always love the last console gift story!
Me too, so touching
Yeah, I can tell it means a lot to him.
same here so touching
i hope these consoles become more common, it's still hard to find one.
Yeah me too. I’m not paying more than $500 on a console unless it’s super rare and collectible. If I want a powerful gaming machine that’s more than $500, I might as well get a gaming PC and it’d be as powerful or WAY more powerful than a PS5.
Sony are reducing PS5 production, it’ll only get worse.
Your relationship with your mom and how it influenced your Love of video games and what you did to commemorate your mom makes me respect you even more along with more of your subscribers!!! 😇😎👍

Just like how some people have already commented, I love the story of how this console was purchased 💙
I really want to see Sony go all in on backwards compatibility. They have a PS1 emulator that plays 99% of the ps1 library that has been used in the pd2 slim model 2, all ps3, psp, and psvita. We know they could do PS2. While PS3 would be more difficult they could most definitely do it but it might be more like the Xbox approach where they have to modify the emulator on a game by game basis which might prevent the full library.
I agree, ps1 and ps2 are definitely possible
PS3 should be easy for them. My computer is weaker than the PS5 and I'm playing plenty of PS3 games at locked framerates and higher resolutions than the PS3. If a bunch of randoms on the internet can do it then the muti-billion dollar company with full knowledge of the system can.
@@Cruxis_Angel dude absolutely!

Here so early the video is "PS5 One - 1 Year Later - Predictions and Concerns - Adam Koralik"
Ha, wow, fixed that. Good catch.
I tried the controller with a few games, didn't made me amazed, but probably it is because I'm too much of a mechanic player to care about immersion in games. I just care more about the gameplay mechanics, than story or immersion.
1 year later and I still don't have one, hopefully this year I highly doubt it, but hears hoping.
The PS5 still needs more exclusives, a handful in a year is not enough. Great console overall though.
Not as likely with PlayStation PC starting up
Yeah, I think it was the last Spawncast I heard, they're like I barely play PS5 and when I do it's for PS4 games... and with 4 games in front of Adam (all being launch games as well) lol I can see how that's true xD. Beating myself up cuz on launch day I saw PS5 (disc edition) on Amazon for like half an hour just debating on if I should get it (my credit was maxed esp than so a half a grand purchase really wasn't possible...). I didn't know it was backwards compat with PS4 either or I'd have gotten my brother to get it lol. oh man
Very cool how it's been a year and I've yet to see one in person. Just as elusive as the turtles are.
I always look forward to your birthday videos for different systems. Love the PS5.
I brought a Sega Saturn instead. Honestly reckon i got more hours of fun out of it than i wouldve, had i brought a PS5
25:50
I'm pretty sure Microsoft set the gaming trends with achievement system to the point where PlayStation 3-5 and PC steam and Epic copied the entire system.
Okay, yeah, I'll give you that one for sure.
I think your right Adam I think swinging with Spider-Man feels different than shooting with Ratchet.
23:35 I wouldn't ignore those things because it was Japanese devs themselves that first started saying those things. Examples are how even devs in Japan got forced to turn in all documentation for games in English instead of Japanese. Another thing would be Sony saying it would censor certain games from now on and this is after those same type of games had been released on Sony hardware for years. Now yes, Sony has a history of censoring stuff all the way back to the PS1, there is an interview with Kojima in which he says how annoyed he was when Sony people told him to censor some parts of Policenauts on the PS1. Sony also censored games like Xenosaga 1 and Drakengard on the PS2 but this was always done when a game was released outside of Japan. What Japanese devs are saying is that after the move to California even games in Japan got censored. Just google PlayStation god rays censoring and laugh at all the memes, there was a big backlash when DMC5 got censored in America and Sony had to update the game and take away the God rays, funny thing the PC port and the Xbox One version was uncensored on release. Made me remember the days of the SNES when MK was censored but then Sega released the uncensored version on the Genesis. To tell the truth I am extremely biased on this subject because I cannot stand puritans since I grew up in an insane religious family.
I've had one since April and love it - I have a massive PS4 backlog that I parked when I knew I was getting a PS5. The only PS5 games I have are Demon's Souls, Returnal, Doom Eternal and Dirt 5. I know it's not your thing, but aside from the controller, Returnal is the reason to own a PS5. It's such a mega game and a serious troll move at Nintendo since it's essentially Metroid. And God of War at 60fps is how it was intended and gives it such a boost. Kratos is nowhere near as cumbersome to control as on PS4. I have a Switch and a Series S and the Series S doesn't even get switched on and tbh if it wasn't for my XBLA library I don't know what the point of owning it is.
Great words, especially the last few minutes in the video. I own the PS5 and the Xbox Series X, both with disc drive, because I still want to have the choice. And I love both of this systems. I love the PS5 controller, the coming PSVR2, the exclusive games... And I love the Xbox ecosystem and the Gamepass.
One one side I like to have physical versions of games for to collect, share, resell or just have it to be a physical gift under the Christmas tree,
On the other side I understand "digital only" is very more practical and makes sense for me. Not different from music, movies and series. Step by step you can play all the retro games on cheap China consoles also, without needing a mountain of cartridges and discs in your room.
Love the story about consoles and your mom. I think everyone that loves this hobby started like that, my case in particular, my parents separated when I was a kid, so mom took charge of me, she bought me all the consoles from NES to PS2, so I can relate a lot.
Now as for the PS5, I bought it a few months ago, more driven for the fear of not finding one later, but after finishing demon’s souls I haven’t played anything else on it 😕 it’s very disappointing that it doesn’t have exclusive games that I’m interested, I think, if Sony doesn’t get a good exclusive or fighting game soon, I won’t turn the PS5 on until 2023 when Wolverine or Spider-Man 2 launches. All my 3rd party games I’ll be playing on Xbox because they run better there.
That little photograph in the background :-)
I know a lot of people that don't care about physical releases, that are very happy with the Series S as a cheap way to play new releases using game pass, even if they don't look as good as on Series X.
I know the switch is old already but Metroid dread was the system seller that finally made me buy one. In my opinion Nintendo and Sony both have system sellers but Microsoft really doesn’t. I love my PS5 I think it’s an amazing next gen console.
Kinda late but wanted to thank you for these videos.
I love the console history videos and I always go back to them every few years.
I glad they resolved the CMOS battery bomb issue, but I'm still pissed at Sony, IT WAS DESIGNED CHOICE, They're people decide to implement this damaging bug. I will never forget that, Sony
Holy crap, nice dehumidifier Adam!
I still feel like exclusivity is important and shouldn't go anywhere. There would literally be no point for any other consoles to exist at that point.
Exactly. If you just give every game a PC version, then there’s literally no reason to buy consoles ever again. Some people may be cool with that, and that’s fine, but like Adam said, it’s what makes consoles special, the games they only make for that one machine.
Consoles aren't going to go anywhere even if Playstation releases their exclusives on the PC platform. Consoles are always going to be viable because their ease of use and accessibility compared to a gaming PC. And this is coming from someone who jumped from consoles to PC's back in 2015.
You almost made me cry at the last part
Sorry about that.
@@AdamKoralik no, thanks for making these great reflections
I thought the way you described the triggers was strange. Like, it's 100% different between games between different actions. You'll get more resistance on your finger in certain games and other ones like anything where you shoot a gun, they'll add a sort of click feeling, like you're pulling a trigger. It's immersive on a level where I can hardly believe it. Ratchet and Clank use it amazingly, where you pull the trigger to perform an action and if you pull past the "click" it'll activate a secondary ability. It's not on every game and I really wish it was more widely supported, but when it's there its so nice.
The PS5 shortage reminds me of the PS2 shortage, except I remember seeing PS2s on store shelves in many places.
Its really unfortunate, I was really interested in the PS5 until i heard about the CMOS Battery issue. It looks like a great console, but i just can't get over it being useless when PSN goes down. Its the same reason i've given up on the PS4 and I liked that library quite a bit. I just don't want to sink Money into a console that will lock me out of physical games. That kinda defeats the purpose of the console for me. I think that i'm gonna go PC soon as the line has been too blurred between console and PC. The PS5 & PS4 kinda defeat the charm of a console with the CMOS battery issue and the Xbox brand has been basically internet reliant since the XBONE.
Might become one of those people who stick with Nintendo and go PC from now on.
Too bad really, i've been a console guy because of physical forever.
They’ve fixed that for ps5 and ps4
@@sly2792004 it kinda seems like a bandaid fix. Like, if the problem exists out of the box, then the problem is inherent to the console itself.
Its a weird situation all together.
@@Xavious061 it was a software problem, fixed via software. the code was set ups that if it couldn't connect to servers to see what time it really was to not run games. to stop hackers. windows 11 won't work on most pcs due to needing tpm, which most pcs dont have that and. bunch of games require you connect to internet too. these companies are always going be more worried about their profits then us. but its fixed. the software is no longer programed to stop games from being played.
@@Xavious061 like the other guy said, its been patched out of the system, it doesn't matter what happens to psn down the line, physical and digital games will still work. xbox has a much bigger issue with the one and series x where it doesn't seem patchable!
Following what you said about MLB the show... Psychonauts 2 (published by Xbox Game Studios) is also on ps4, which is bizarre as well!!
Adam you have been one of my fav. youtuber for a long time now and I am a Shenmue fan thanks to you! When I saw your name in Shenmue III I thought "This guy DESERVES to be here!" . Keep on going with your quality content man!
Adam is here talking about the 1 year birthday of the ps5 and here I am getting back into my GameCube in a big way. Great video keep them coming.
That's funny. I just started metroid prime.
The way the ps5 looks reminds me a lot of the launch 360 model, the fat white one, i think it might be collectable cause it is such a weird console, and you can bet the next revision will not look like that at all lol
I am still pissed off that both consoles don't have toslink digital out.
Am still on PS2. 🙂
Adam the Dual Sense triggers feel different on certain games because they're adaptive triggers. With the DualSense like you said is all about immersion down to the trigger feel.
Great video Adam! I love both business models and have had the consoles since Nov/Dec of last year. If Sony goes the same way as Microsoft it will be a strategic blunder. And I say that as primarily an Xbox guy. Differentiation is important.
I think Sony and Microsoft overlooked ISP data caps. I have fiber but they cap my download and I wouldn't be able to load large games on it.
I'm glad Playstation exclusives are coming out on PC. I just played through God Of War with a PS5 controller, ultra graphics settings, and running at native 4K over 100fps on my 82inch QLED 120Hz TV with variable refresh rate. It was simply incredible! Much respect for the team over at Santa Monica Studio. I had a PS4 but I can't play games at 30fps anymore. (For the past few years I've been spoiled by much superior hardware). The strange times in the console space over the past several years made me switch over to PC. The way I see it, the consoles are now more PC-like than ever, so I might as well choose my own hardware.
I do understand the exclusives, they are the system sellers. In my Sega Saturn days, I always wanted Gran Turismo or any Final Fantasy that came out to the Playstation. Nowadays...I don't need any. Final Fantasy titles always ended up on the PC and I finally own Forza Horizon 4...on PC...Damn I even own and already finished Horizon Zero Dawn, a game that I never expected to have...ever...and let me tell you...that game is amazing...Some people even say that Gran Turismo 7 may appear on PC as well.. There aren't that big racing games on Steam, so this would be great news for me. I think that Sony saw how it can profit from the PC gaming market and how much gamers wanted their exclusives. For me this is great but for PS fans I can see how mad they are.
I really like the PS5 hardware and like you said controller so far but I'm still playing a lot more switch because of exclusives. I highly recommend picking up Returnal at some point. Even if you never beat it its really fun to play and takes advantage of the controller and graphically capabilities of the system.
Great video. Ps thanks for making me cry at ps5 one year review.
what is legitimately mind blowing to me is how the PS5 is still practically outselling the PS4 in the same timeframe despite the chip shortages, and xbox and Nintendo being in a much better situation this time around and this is with God of War and Spiderman 2 actually coming out yet. I hope the chip shortages don't delay PSVR 2 until 2023 but it will come when things are ready I guess. I still can't believe PS4 is over 8 years old now as well!
It's been over a year, and yet PS5 design didn't grow on my at all. I still think Xbox Series X is the superior console, specially in design. Sad that MS is not willing to invest heavily in kickass exclusives. Sony is going to kick its ass this gen as well just because of it
Perfect timing.
1 year, 15+ million consoles, 0 in my house.
I feel like this is the last generation of traditional video game culture.
I kinda went into this gen thinking that was gonna be the case. So far, that seems to be true.
Such a solid video Adam keep it up!!!! i still need to get the new Ratchet and Clank that game looks really good and I have heard almost nothing but good things about it also I had a hell of a blast with miles morales when I finally got around to playing it and replaying spiderman 2018s remaster has also been a solid expierence, you should really try Scarlet Nexus it is such a good game it has a really compelling story and the gameplay is so good it never gets old for me you can download it on gamepass I did just that and played through Yuitos story bc of that I am at somepoint thinking of picking up a copy for my PS5 bc of how much I have enjoyed it on the Xbox Series X
I favor PC. But the fact that the xbox app has been providing a great deal of games for nearly free makes me favorable to them
Can you make a video covering all 3rd party Dreamcast controllers?
wut
Got a Series S due to X shortage. Gotta say, it's not a bad lil' console. It's doing everything I need right now.
at this point physical games are a rental property as well. if a game needs a day one patch to function properly "yah you own the game" but a gipped version of the game that to me sounds like a coaster... IDk i embraced digital era a long time ago all my games on the switch are digital and i plan on getting the disk based version of the ps5 but will prob only get digital for the most part.
I have both and I mostly play on xbox but the dualsense is the best ps controller ever I do prefer offset joysticks though but if they had that it would be perfect imo.
I like this Video I don't Have one yet but will get one soon.
I was finally able to get a PS5 in May through GameFly right before Ratchet and Clank which is what I wanted it for. I 100% the game and really haven’t touched it since which is a shame. I want a new Killzone, Medievil, Jet Moto, Wipeout and Sly Cooper but they don’t seem interested in those series. But hey the PS5 looks awesome with the black Darkplates.
2026:
Some kid: I’m 6
Me: Cool
Some other kid: I was born in 2020
Me:😐
Adam is your console one of the last CFI-1000 launch models or the newer CFI-1100 model?
It's the good one.
There is something about holding the game that I think I never will get used to not holding it
DualSense is the MVP.
I recommend playing Control on PS5 because damn it feels great with it.
Plus, the system ships with such a great showcase of the system (Astro)
As far as most people who want it it's effectively not even out yet :-(
Do you have a TV that supports HDMI 2.1 to take advantage of the 120hz mode and the vrr. You should 120hz is awesome. The LG CX from last year is getting cheap and supports those things. The LG OLED’s from this year support too. You definitely need one if you don’t have it.
Adam: "do I look like I farm? NO"
Also Adam: *18:57*
Good thing you got your PS5 from Best Buy when you did. Just imagine you were delayed just a little bit later and you had to put up with all the *total (-itarian) tech* b.s
PS5 is a beast, Never bet against Sony when all their home consoles sold 100 million with the exception of the PS3 which nearly did 90 Million anyway!
And the PS3 is a misunderstood beast.
@@alexisaguirrevazquez7900 yep!
Thanks Adam - fantastic analysis as usual from you. :)
I'm still rooting for Sony. Grew up with Nintendo in the 80s and then skipped a gen (tho I was one of the weird American kids with an Amiga 500) - then I inherited a PS1 in college and that was that until now. I was hooked. No interest in the Xbox I have a good PC now. Nintendo and Sony it is.
If I don't get fired on Jan 4th next year I'll probably splurge for a PS5 and get Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart. One of my favorite series of all time next to Yakuza. Take care and much respect man :>
Eh because of the lack of supply I just upgraded my pc n got a series s. Don’t write off the series s, so far I’m really liking it.
I don't think games that are system sellers will ever go away as long as Nintendo is still going strong
The sad thing about physical copies nowadays is that they are incomplete and you still need to download patches and updates without which the game would be crippled. While I do appreciate physical copies as material AND independently transferrable keys to games, all that still hurts preservation and is less safe in case of any kind of accidents on the accont of the platform holder, the game licensor, or one's ISP if you find yourself in a need to reinstall the games from scratch, or your hard drive dies, down the road.
That said, PS5 looks awesome! For someone who missed the 7th gen and deliberately skipped the 8th one, this one finally means business. I would say, it's not the best PS4 out there, it's THE PS4, as actual PS4s are, well, less then ideal in terms of performance.
At the end of the day, barring much higher involvement in the preservation of games on the part of the IP holders, publishers etc., the only real preservation possible will always entail "pirated" digital copies of the most complete version of a game. You can surface original disks or just play backups of them while you keep the optical drives operational for years on end, but at some point what will remain as a practical solution is only the most up to date pirated version of the game stored on a hard drive on a PC, an ODE storage solution, or installed on the original console with custom firmware. I don't think that's so bad, honestly. As long as you do what you can, within your means, to support the games you like while they're commercially relevant, I don't think anyone can ask more from you.
Adam do you believe that PS5 is is Sony's Sega Genesis in Japan? Genesis as you stated in generation videos HUGE hit in North America disappointment in Japan. Would like to get your opinion. The C-BOMB issue was it any surprise that the digital did not work on all three Sony consoles. That along what you have been telling us is a red flag. Great topics in your videos.
That's....actually an interesting take. I'd have to think about that.
Can you install and play a physical game on PS5 without it being connected to the internet? Or do you need it to be online to download the rest of the game (i.e. Patch)?
Depends on the game, generally yes. Though odds are you'll be missing patches.
@@AdamKoralik Ok cool.
Oh man, "thats the game!"
Digimon Rumble Arena for the ps1
DBZ Sparking Neo, Crash Twinsanity and Escape fron Monkey Island for the ps2
Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance for the 3DS.
Weird picks I know, but those were the games that made me "I should get that console".
Unfortunately, the digital vs. physical argument has sailed. Some games have as little as 1 GB on the disc. If in some future date the servers aren’t there to give you the rest of the game when you go to install it off the disc, are you any better off? The number of situations where having a disc is a benefit continue to dwindle.
I think Starfield from Bethesda will be a system seller for Series X. I'm a huge Bethesda Game Studios fan and I was a PS4 player last-gen, but Starfield being exclusive made me pick up a Series X instead. I'm sure that I'm not the only person who will do this.
I don't understand why Sony would discontinue the all digital PS5 just because the disc model is selling better. As Adam has already said, Sony want all digital only so they would continue to push the all digital model, it's not like no one is buying it.
Pretty sure God of War 2018 is coming over to PC to attract PC gamers to Playstation for when Ragnarök comes out only on Playstation
Simple economics, if you're selling an unsuccessful product, you stop selling it.
@@AdamKoralik I appreciate your personal responses.
Just because the digital model isn't selling as well as the disc model that doesn't automatically mean it is selling badly.
Like and subscribe guys. This guy deserves it. These videos are so thorough.
It’s really funny to think about how this console generation has shown us that abundance is really an illusion. Tried getting a os5 for months. Found a series x on Best Buy out of the blue and bought it. I’ve been happy with that decision but in the back of my mind im checking fit this big wifi router from tie to time.
Spider man 2 looks could be interesting when it comes out
whole heartedly prefer the uniqueness of the PS5. I love that they went wild with the design. I love that the operating system is not the ps4 system. I hope they continue to make them unique cause as cool as the series X is....it is the same....like the same feeling as the one X or S. Controller is almost the exact same as last time. A little better grant it but not unique like the ps5 Controller. I also agree that Controller is one of the best ever. That haptic feedback in the triggers is awesome! Great video
Great video as always. I m 90% a pc gamer, but have ps4 and played GOW. But still will buy it on pc in January because pc always felt like home for me.
I understand that feeling of having a specific game for specific console, but in long term, it feels restrictive.
Thats why i don't prefer apple ecosystem, but like google's or microsoft ecosystem, especially xbox. Cross-save, crossbuy, features like that makes me like xbox more. I m happy a game is not stuck to 1 piece of hardware because of accessibility and preservation.
It’s funny, I have a PS5 and I don’t have any PS5 games at all. I’ve had one for a year now and I’ve only played PS4 games on it. It makes a great PS4 though.
notification says ps5 one - 1 years later. i was like what?
ps: it would be cool that if you own a ps5 digital, you have to pay a little less for the games.
pps: i love that the xbox is almost fully backwards compatible with the og games. so no need for a retrotink or framemeister! thats the reason why i will buy an xbox next year if/when prices drop or buy a used one so i can play jsrf or munch etc.
man sorry for my bad grammer
Traditions 💚
One year later.....and people still can't buy one
My ps5 is currently delayed from Walmart...
What console do you like better?
Hard to say to be honest.
@@AdamKoralik really? What one do you think has better future and more future proof for third party games
I wanna buy a ps5 but here in Mexico is really expensive. And since most games are available in ps4 I'll wait for exclusives and/or discount
It’s been a year and still can’t get one ha
I'm one of the few that doesn't care for the new features in the controller. I would most likely disable anything I could if the game was playable that way. I either run rumble on the light side or usually just have it fully disabled on my x. Out of those games, demon souls is the only one that had any interest to me. But I already played and beat it. I like it but not enough to play it again. If it would have been bloodborne, yeah I probably would have.
I'm hoping for some really good new IPs on both consoles. Continuing old games is ok but the gold loses it's polish after so long. My hype for the new halo or god of war is at 0 honestly. I never had a problem with a game not or no longer be exclusive to a console. Always seen it as ridiculous with game companies shooting themselves in the foot locking a title to one piece of hardware. Plenty of gamers that have a good pc still game on their playstation or xbox more. I have a friend like that and if he likes a multiplat title enough, he buys it on all of them.
Loved the story about your mom! As far as the old way of doing things going away. Bye Bye!
I would argue Xbox did set some trends over the generations that aren't gamepass. MS was the one to set the bar for online gaming. They also were the ones that pushed consoles into the multimedia box territory. You could argue Sony did that as well with their 'It only does everything' marketing campaign for the PS3 but I feel like MS again set the bar for that concept going forward.
Eh, I'd give multi-media to Sony and online potential to Sega.
@@AdamKoralik I disagree. The online on dreamcast with Fantasy Star and stuff was experimental at best. Microsoft set the standard. As for giving sony the multimedia thing they didn't even have Netflix on PS3 for quite a while. But I see where you're coming from.
@@thatssomegoodpie They started Sega Net with the Saturn in the mid 90s, expanded on it with the Dreamcast. Just because you didn't use it doesn't mean it didn't create the model.
@@AdamKoralik It's one of those cases where yes they 'technically' were the first ones to create the model yet they didn't do it in any impactful way. It's like giving Panasonic credit for developing the pointer tech that's inside the wiimote with their CDI Peacekeeper gun. How many people do you know that actually used the Sega Net service or the Online on Dreamcast? You can probably count those people on one hand as well as the games that actually used it in any meaningful way. Not to mention the Dreamcast used parts of MS's tech to make it even possible. Xbox set the standard for online and made Xbox live a juggernaut of a service with tons of features that Sony and Nintendo are now copying with PS Network and Nintendo Online. Around the time Halo and Halo 2 launched is when online gaming truly became a mainstream thing even though yes you can credit the original DOOM, Quake and other precursors for it as well. I would argue MS has been innovating and pushing the industry forward from the very beginning in terms of services and how we approach gaming from an online context. It just hasn't been as noticable. Sega crawled so MS could walk and eventually run. That's how I see it.
I don’t have a ps5 yet, but I think the reason why I like the switch, is because it feels more traditional to older consoles than the 8th and 9th gen. A lot of carts I have, have the full game on the cartridge or only require tiny updates. Yes there are those that still require massive updates, but it just feels like the old way and like the simple times. These things to me are more computers and it’s a turn off for me
Not a daring prediction of course but pretty sure these will be our last optical drive consoles. Haven't been able to get a PS5 yet but between it being a best version of a PS4 (as well just being a PS5) and having a Sony made UHD player in it I will be taking care of the one I get as best I can for the rest of my days and when/if they go more affordable even may get a 2nd one.
Hey do you think SONY is making the right choice charging $70 for new games considering Microsoft has gamepass and SONY is slowly releasing their exclusives on pc
That's what I mean by they're caught between traditional model and the future.
I love game consoles, but once its all digital its PC for me, I fell like consoles manufacturers are shooting them selfs in the foot but hey Idk.
I don't think Sony copies Nintendo or Microsoft. They had PSNow before GamePass. Sony had PS Plus many years before Microsoft's Games with Gold, existed. People also though Microsoft came up with Smart Delivery. Better known as Cross-Buy. When I powered up my PS4, for the first time, I had 29 free games waiting for me in the library, because I bought the PS3 or Vita versions.
And PS Move.. Surely that is copying Kinnect.. Wrong. It's using Eye Toy technology, which also predates the Wii. Sony Move is simply the Eye Toy, with detectable, tactile wands. Microsoft ripped off the EyeToy, and Nintendo ripped off, both the Eye Toy, along with Philips CD-i AirMouse tech, which uses a sensor bar. Philips sued Nintendo and won.
PlayStation Move wasn't a Wiimote huh?
@@AdamKoralik In a way, but no, not exactly.
Sony surely didn't copy Nintendo. Sony had the technology long before Nintendo released the Wii. Check out the old PS2 EyeToy tech videos. Richard Marks clearly shows how it's PS2 camera is clearly tracking a stick with a glowing pink ball. He called it a "Wand". It did 1:1 tracking, years before the Wii was released. Sony ditched the Wand and released it with basic hand/motion tracking instead. They soon realized it was a problem when people used it with poor lighting. The glowing wand was brought back, along with built-in gyro controls. They do have buttons, but no directional input. They are more or less just glowing beacons for the camera to judge 3D space. I.E. EyeToy technology. If anything, the add-on Navigator controllers are more like the Wii Remote (with Dpad + buttons). The Move controllers are also far more accurate than the original Wii Remotes, able to judge motion and rotation in all six axis. Nintendo would later try to make theirs on par by adding the Wii Remote Plus add one, and fully replacement controllers.
Still can not find one at retail wot a joke
I love the ps5 controller and I agree with you about the exclusive games
