PlayStation 5 In-Depth 2 Year Longterm Review: How Is Sony Doing?
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 มิ.ย. 2024
- PS5 has reached its second year on the market! Time flies when no one can buy them (until now). Anyway, let's take a look at the past year and how Sony has done with this console since our 1 year review. With big PS5 games finally dropping, new system features going out, the new PS Plus, there's a lot to go over. And believe you me, we peel the label off of all those topics. And tell you what, I want you to help. No really, some of these are really stuck on there. Can you grab that end for me?

The two things I really miss are themes, and the activity from friends when you logged in. I get that the game you're hovered over 'becomes the theme', but its not the same. I also know they've replaced the activity feature with the discover tab that shows updates in games you play, but they just feel like giant ads to me. I miss being able to see when my friends earn trophies, or see what new games they're playing. I don't understand why they changed these things.
Yeah, I feel like this generation of PS lacks the customizability of personalizing your console for yourself and having that sense of connection with the community.
The PS5 does play games well but there's just something beautiful about seeing communities attached to the games you're playing and the activities players share that can be seen easily on the console
@Infernagon Exactly. It's three steps forward but two steps back at the same time.
I fully agree, I liked the connectivity through games played and trophies being visible, now its just a subtle tab showing what there playing or online.
💯 I'd legit know on a dime what someone was playing and how much they been playing (based on the trophy they popped) definitely need. That back
Another thing too that the PS4 just didn't have because it was on PS3 is the ability to store media on the system like movies, pictures, and music. Hated that Sony took that out on PS4 and we still can't do that on PS5.
The PS5’s been out for two years now, and I haven’t even seen one in person, let alone touched one or played on one. Sigh.
This is gonna be a long generation
You haven't tried enough if you ask me
There are ones on display at retailers, good luck on getting one though:)
There's plenty available on amazon, argos , game unless your American then probably amazon US, best Buy, gamestop ect
Just wait for the pro it’ll be out by 2024
Load times, graphics options and the dual sense controller are worth it to me. Plus more AAA games in the first two years than we saw in the first two on PS4.
The fact I can pop in tomb raider or ghosts of tsushima in my ps5 and it’s patched to look and perform better is just so nice👌
Why are you counting AAA PS4 games as PS5 games?
@@billygunn6185 because they have a ps5 version
The first year of the ps4 was DRY.
@@derekisludicrous9203 it’s still a ps4 title tho just upscaled a little bit does not make it a ps5 title
Haven't had a playstation since the ps2 Era, was lucky to land a ps5 and having the time of my life catching up on all the classics and all the newer games released. For me its a 10 out of 10.
Same thing for me, since the ps2. A lot of things has changed then and Im enjoying it
@@tavorabrown3622 Glad to hear it!
Thats cool haha
ROCK ON!
Same
I finally grabbed one about 3 months ago and I’m absolutely loving it. Had most of my PS4 games on an external drive and brought them right over seamlessly.
I just got my PS5 a month ago, and I love it. I've been rocking the PS3 since 2009, and I totally skipped the PS4 era, so it's a huge step up in the graphical department. I've been playing catch up with a bunch of PS4 games that I missed out on, so I'm taking full advantage of using the PS Plus subscription. I know folks have been complaining about that, but it's allowing me to play a bunch of games I missed out on without having to actually buy them. I just wish the classics catalog had more games in it; the PS Store on PS3 had way more games on its list. And wish that you could bring over your games that you purchased on the PS3 PS Store over to PS5. Either way, looking forward to what the future holds!
Don't forget Ghost Of Tsushima, one of the best from the PS4 era.
I’m in the same position you were… if only ps3 and debating a ps5 right now. Did you have a lot of trouble finding one?
@@lemming9984 yup, it's in my queue!
@@csharp3884 not really, I had to download one of those alerts apps to let me know when its in stock at a store though. I was able to get one from PlayStation Direct within a few weeks of being ready to buy one. I hear they've been in stock but mostly on online stores. I'm keeping my PS3 just to play some of my old PS1 games and Marvel vs Capcom 2 😅
I got rid of my PS4 and kept the Ps3.
The PS5 cannot do PS3 and the subscription service is no substitute.
If you, like me want to play your PS3 games you need your ps3.
Always amazed by how detailed your videos are.
For me, dual sense is true next gen and I hope to get more experiences and more creativity from the controller going forward. I wish TH-cam would get a dedicated picture in picture mode. Right now it's a great feature that is very janky. Also, I've only used it a handful of times, but the game help videos really do come in handy when you get stuck and imo is quicker than looking it up on TH-cam.
I prefer the ps4 controller. Not a fan of adaptive triggers had to turn that off day one. Finger fatigue is a real deal
I don't particularly like it's core features.
I'd much prefer a quiet and efficient controller.
There’s work arounds to have it work by having a friend message you a link to a TH-cam video and then from there you can have it playing as you play games but they definitely need to have a dedicated button for it
@@nedson6503 It is quiet and efficient. I don't know what you mean
I love the dualsense, I have big hands so it’s awesome. I agree that the adaptive triggers are great and have a lot of potential. Like for instance in GT7 (don’t have a wheel yet) I love feeling how hard I’m really braking so I’m not locking up or staying on too long.
I miss the freedom that we once had with the PS3, you could create your own themes and didnt have to get stuck in a subscription loop just to play online. Also you have to pay up just to play old classic games. That is why i didnt buy a PS5 but switched to a gaming pc, and i have no regrets. You can customize everything, from playing with mouse and keyboard, maximizing the graphics and installing mods. You dont have to pay for a stupid subscription just to play old games or online. Sure you dont start games that quickly as with a PS5 but the options are limitless. And you save so much money over time.
ps5 hater
Finally got my PS5 the other day and I'm having a blast
Loved the music behind the video. Then saw at the end it was your own tracks? Bravo man!
I love the details been explained about everything on this channel. The best PlayStation TH-camr ever!
Do we need some Naruto or Boruto games? I think we need them fast all my gamer friends!
Once again, your descriptions on these videos are awesome! 🤣
Thanks for all the amazing content!
the dualsense is probably the best controller I've ever used. I have a black controller from the first batch too which I bought for my pc before I had a ps5. I used it for mw2019 with jump as R3 so both analogue sticks have been used thoroughly, and it shows no signs of stick drift. I've since modded it with back buttons and hairtriggers and it's still showing no issues. I've only used 3 different series x controllers but they all had stick drift
Thank you! Thinking about getting one for my bday this April and your review helped a lot!
Great video as always really appreciate the time and effort. This video reminded me of the game category section that I've yet to utilize but feel could be beneficial. Thanks
whew I got worried when Mystic didn't upload yesterday. Nice review! I have no qualms about anything. I love the ps5.
This was such a well written and straighforward analysis. Loved it
Great review Ryan , love your channel massive inspiration to my TH-cam journey 👍👍
It's sad that it's been 2 years and you can still count on your hand the amount of games that are current-gen only.
The giant majority of games are still cross-generation which is incredibly frustrating.
It's good (as a ps4 player)
Literally my same thoughts bro
Especially given that they're easier to buy now than they were 2 years ago, they really need to move on from PS4 and Xbox one.
Agreed
PS4 has already reached the bottleneck
It's really impressive that currently 100,000 PS5s sell out every 17.5 hours in the US two years after its release.
11:00 I found this put the hard way. For MW2, I was looking up guides for the mission "Alone" for a veteran run of the game. I saved halfway through the mission, exited the game and when I returned, selected the "Resume Game" Activity card for the mission. Tjis resulted in the Mission being started from the beginning and my difficulty being set to "recruit" (which I found out after completing the mission) and caused me to have to replay the mission again.
Fantastic review, great detail I ordered mine yesterday…. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Great round up Ryan !
Just got my ps5 and it still feels new even after 2 years
I feel like 2022 has been better than 2021 game-wise, but 2023 is where we will get a lot of games designed for the ps5 like Forspoken, final fantasy 16, stellar blade and Spider-Man 2.
But this year has been incredible regardless!
That's still only Five Games. The Ps2 when it launched had a Ton of Games coming out for it.
@@hurricane7727 do keep in mind that a lot of those games were “default” third party exclusives because there wasn’t any competition for the ps2. Sony back then created less games than today and depended heavily on default 3rd party games.
@@karelanker0 Explain why the Ps5 still doesn't have that Many games Coming out besides those 5 because I was On The Gaming scene in the Ps2 Era which had Lots of Different Games on it.
@@hurricane7727 again, like I just said: back then PlayStation got a lot of default exclusives made by 3rd party because of the lack of competition. If you take away all the 3rd party games that were exclusive to the ps2, you are left with not a whole lot of games lol. During the ps4 and 5 gen Sony had to create games themselves instead of getting games from 3rd party.
@@hurricane7727 also along with the facts stated from @Karel...games just dont grow on trees. development takes years. games are 10x bigger and more elaborate than ps2 era games. if you havent noticed. playstation exclusives are the most intricate games on the market which takes time and years to craft. you'd see a big drop in quality if playstation was to just dump tons of games out at one time. also money is involved. why drop all of your exclusives that close to each other? you're losing money then.
Looking forward to your year 3 video soon!
Great observation about adding a feature to filter 3D Audio only for games that support it.
As someone who bought the PS5 at the beginning of this year, I've been enjoying it. While I've mostly used it to catch up on PS4 titles I never played before, I still appreciate the perks of playing a lot of these titles at 60FPS and experiencing more new stuff, period. I still have some PS Studios titles I need to dive into, but the real benefit is just the third-party titles I've been yearning for as a Switch owner since near launch.
I had a switch since launch too and it’s awesome but being able to play 3rd party titles and indies with the PS5’s horsepower, better frame rate, graphics and load times is incredible.
The PS5 is the greatest PS4 to ever exist.
Not kidding, compared to previous generations where I would abandon the last one...I'm still, mostly, playing PS4 games. This is the first time I feel like the jump in technology just isn't big enough to really "feel" the difference. Except for the faster load times, I really notice that when switching between a PS5 and a PS4 game. I can't believe I used to have to wait for things to load...
Well bc the install base for PS4 is still huge, we won't see PS5 only games until next year if even that, that's why it feels like you're playing PS4 games bc they're cross-gen versions.
Lmao 😶
despite the fact that I'm salty as fuck still not being able to get a ps5, I do absolutely love the dramatic shift in performance/quality i got from upgrading to a 3080
Yup, still waiting for "next-gen". Hoping FF16 gives me that feeling.
@@ghost.of.aleksz.salad. "and other lies propagated by inbred losers"
August was my year. This week I picked up GoW, a Ragnarok dual sense, and a Ragnarok two wolves 2 TB external memory. 2 years later , I'm happy & waiting for Calisto Protocol.
I'm genuinely having a great time with the PS5 since I was lucky enough to get it day 1. All the added features are welcomed and appreciated and the games are just meat and potatoes of the whole experience. The one and only thing that I will add that is the one thing I wish would've been there from day 1 are the themes and folders. I am highly addicted to customizing and arranging my console the way I want it. I did it with with the last PS gens and it was one of the top features that always sold me into the PS ecosystem. If they bring that into it next year, to me personally, the PS5 will be complete
So if you have a ton of games you can no longer rearrange them, that sucks.
@@rogan1679 pretty much lol
Wow 2 years flew by
Definitely
For me, the biggest upgrade from the PS4 to the PS5 so far has been the new controller. Astro's Playroom really showcased the new features well
A through review, just bought mine this is quiet informative. Thank you!
I’m surprised you haven’t change your ps5 console cover I changed mines to the midnight black and it look beautiful
What I really want is custom backgrounds tied to game tiles. For example, if u have a cool screenshot from GoWR that screenshot will flash when u hover over the game card instead of the stock image. In general I think there should be more customization for the system and UI by now. Especially seeing how some of the things people are requesting were available on previous hardware.
I’ve seen some incredible screenshots taken from people, your idea would be amazing to have
Love the console but not a fan of how anti consumer Sonys been this generation. I wanna see more
-varied exclusives like the PS1-3 era
-DS4/more 3rd party controller support for PS5 titles(dualsense is too big for me and it’s been hell finding an alternative)
-pip mode for all streaming apps
-folders
-Stronger focus on backwards compatibility/legacy ip
Open up the PS2 emulator and let us use our PS2 discs for unapproved games while we wait for an approved list to grow bigger. I want to be able to experiment with haunting ground, budokai 3, or silent hill games in the console. Their current implementation makes it worthless due to licensing hell. I shouldn’t be having a better experience with PS1,2, and PSP games on my series X over Sonys own hardware
Their not anti consumer, you answered your own complaint, licensing hell.
Dealing with lawyers who have to go through all the contracts and see what can and can’t be done is probably a nightmare. Trust me if they could they would!
How is any of the things you listed anti consumer? I agree with most of them but those complaints are anti consumer.
@@saphireg8094 but that's why lawyers get paid the big bucks: to read through all that bs.
the variety in exclusives has been great. Are we on the same system?
I agree that’s why I went with the Series X the Xbox One at launch was not very consumer friendly and Microsoft has learned from their mistakes. I really like how you can use your Xbox one controllers on the Series X and vice Versa that was really a game breaker to me and I have friends with the PS5 but I only really really care about Spider-Man and God of War but just got Ragnorok for the PS4 and having a blast!
Great video. Keep up the excellent job.
Can't believe it has been two years already! Thanks for sharing what has occurred over the two year period.
They could massivly improve backwards compatibility by adding new features like FPS boost like Microsoft has done for the new Xbox consoles. Plus, I miss communities, it was so easy to find people for multiplayer games, now you cant do that that easy anymore.
I miss the communities so much. That was such a great feature that I'm still shocked and confused as to why they removed it. I forgot about hoping they would bring it back till now. Now I'm sad, thanks for reminding me lol.
Haha they could improve backwards compatibility, or they could actually add it first…
They could add PS5 patches to more titles. Many games will look better on an old Xbox One X over a PS5.
Sony doesn't want you playing with friends online. They want you to isolate yourself and play their action adventure exclusives.
Great video! One thing I miss is the folders feature that was in the PS4 it was just so much easier to have all my downloaded games in one area instead of searching for them I really hope they bring them back. Another is themes as I am sure everyone else has been saying I just really miss how a theme can change the system entirely from the sound, system music and the icons on the interface. I will say PS5 has had a better start then the PS4 and 3 IMO and they are doing very well. I think they just need to work on PS plus and also working on the streaming service and also PS plus on PC because the UI there is just horrendous and honestly no one likes having to stream a game.
As someone that just picked on their PS5 - I found this video extremely informative. All your videos have been extremely helpful in my decision!
I love learning this kind of stuff, I eat it up 😊❤
Thank you, Ryan sir
I'd like themes/custom themes to come back. And when they eventually bring it to the ps5, I hope they give us the ability to transfer the themes we already bought from the ps4 to the ps5. I'm probably in the minority here but, I actually have no issue with the cloud streaming. I find it quite helpful in the fact I don't have to download a game, take up space and then therefore I need to delete games to free up space. I have fiber internet so, I don't ever have an issue with latency, lag or image quality. The streaming is so good that there were times where I forgot I was streaming a game. Having to just jump into a game without having to first download them and wait seems pretty nice to me. I hope they add external hard drive support in the future.
Quite literally got my ps5 a few days ago. Appreciate a video like this to make me feel reassured on my purchase!
oh nice i just got mine last friday
Amazing machine had mine pre ordered 👍
hope we get a user interface update. my biggest complaint is the home page kinda feels empty i guess
I would love for them to add a TH-cam Music app that can play music in the background while you play. Like how the Spotify app works
Just got my PS5 this past week. I see I didn't miss much by getting it two years later. Definitely getting the horizon game and MW2.
Honestly I just walked into a GameStop and asked for one. The guy behind the counter grabbed one from the back. I expected him to just laugh at me.
hey mystic! where’d you get that playstation skateboard on your wall?
You should be able to choose what color rgb light you want to use as well
Had mine for about 3 months now. The backwards compatibility of PS4 games the fast loading times and a few PS5 games I've been playing ( ratchet and clank, sifu and soulstice ) has been worth the purchase.
I wandered thru a Walmart and saw 2 PS5's on a shelf this past weekend. First time I've seen one in the wild. Picked myself up one as I vowed never to pay scalpers.
Thank you Mystic. Nice review; explained simply. 👍🙃👍🙂👍
I just got my PS5 on the 2nd of this month and it’s a great console just need more games ! It’s quiet and very smooth and the dual sense is a great controller as well. Just need to keep being supported.
Controller big ass hell. I can’t deal with them increasing the size for no reason
For me, the Dualsense and the improoved audio made really a huge difference in how I experience new games on PS5. But sadly that's kind of about it..
Small to no load times are indeed great. But I already had a third-party game for PS5 (Steelrising) wich seems not to be the highest demanding or pretiest, and it does have visible load times. It feels like if you were playing a PS4 game on PS5. I even checked and there is no PS4 version wich could have maybe explained this..?
Backwards compatibility is nice indeed, but at least one of my games in the store ist listed as "incompatible with PS5".. So I will probably still play all my ps4 games on my actual PS4 pro, also because of the limited (or expensive to buy) storage on PS5.
Like the majority, I also miss some of the homescreen features like folders or some sort of themes. I also have no streaming-service account, which renders the "Media" view useless and kind of annoying as you get right into when you accidentaly press R1. I also miss the feature from PS4 to very easily display the whole trophy-list, from the current game, inside the quick menu. Maybe this can be added as side-view/PiP?
As my final impression: PS5 is great and all. It's in my opinion a very beautiful designed console and the Dualsense really sets the immersion on a new level. But for now, I still play more on my PS4 (and PS3) then my PS5.
Buying an external HDD to hook up to your PS5 for your PS4 games isn't expensive
I have a question about the new PS5 edge controller that is coming in Jan.. does the controller allow the user to replace the sticks? The reason I ask is that with the current controller it's the stick that have given me the most problem... They break down really quickly and even if sony replaces the controller it's a pain.. if I could just buy a replacement stick and plug that into the controller it would make dealing with controller stick drift and failure a lot easier... I recognize that the controller stick get the most harsh use and action and am happy replacing the sticks cause I can be hard on them, but replacing the whole controller ever time I get a worn out stick seems a huge waste to me... both in time and dealing with the recycling of the old controller that works find except for a stick...
I just grabbed mine this past weekend to go along with my series x now and I’m loving it
I love my PS5! I do wish we could back up PS5 game saves in a usb but that’s a small complaint. Being able to share my screen with my friend and pinning his while we play co op is the best feature!
Backuping PS5 saves as easily as PS4 saves would really be a great improvement.
@@Kerthal when i instsinctively went to the "upload/download save" button but didnt realise it was replaced with "sync save" was a memorable experiance because i was downloading as my subnautica save corrupted
ended up overwriting my good ssave with the bad one
it is still possible to manually manage upload and download of specific saves but its not in the options menu anymore but in settings of all places
Can’t believe it’s been 2 years
2 years and counting.
Fantastic video as always!
great video ryan!
I was very excited but it’s just that there are not a ton of next gen games. I’m still glad I got it because this was the first time ever played a game with 60fps. I’ll take 1080p all day and get 60fps so I hope game developers will give some flexibility if they can.
I agree but look at it as an investment. We are future proofed for when those ps5 exclusives drop. Same for my series x.
I've had my PS5 since launch and it's been absolutely worth it. Other than some issues with my dualsenses all has been good. Currently enjoying Ragnarok, I hope anyone that is looking to get a PS5 gets one before the year is out.
i'm worried about storage; on ps4, they could use generic SSDs, but they were decent in storage and affordable. most of the SSD's for ps5 are specialized for the system, which sure, i bet helps things run extremely smooth, but the cheapest i've seen 'em go is $160 for a 400 GB drive...and even external SSDs only work as storage for PS5 games but i've heard ps4 is playable using it.
@@DonutTPOTer for ps4 games even HDD is enough, you can also transfer games between drives if one is not suiitable for playing on them, depending on your internet speed might be faster
@@DonutTPOTer not sure what your currency is but you can get a 1TB SSD for the PS5 on sale for $130CAD atm (just under $100USD). That's a really reasonable price for 1TB imo
@@deadrizen Oh shit, they were WAY more expensive back in winter!
@@poligrant5152 My extra PS5 storage consists of on the SSD side a $110 1TB Samsung 980 pro and an external 5TB HD for my PS4 games like you I find the HDD is enough for the PS4 games
1:06
I personally don’t include ports but the PS5’s library is looking phenomenal regardless.
During summer 2022 is when I finally got my Playstation5 and right now the games I’m playing are next generation versions of current games like King of fighters 15, WWE 2k22, etc but to me what sells next Gen is Street Fighter and Final Fantasy and SF5 being a PS4 console exclusive and FF16 being a ps5 console exclusive is why I have both consoles. And judging by how Street Fighter 6 and Final Fantasy 16 are looking based on the trailers, it’s gonna be a new renaissance era for both franchises
I love my PS5, but they're not necessarily a must have right now. PS4 is still a great system & we probably won't have any PS5 must have exclusives until end of 2023 beginning of 2024.
I really liked that they moved the Resume Game Button right into the hub. Yes it doesn't behave exactly the same for every game but it is never a bad idea to use it. Worst case it is the same as just a regular boot of the game so you never loose.
Clicking through the activity cards for that feature was inconvenient.
Lose.
Good taste in music mate ❤
Great video, thanks!
I'm happy with the PS5. There are some really great first party titles. Just finished Ragnarok the other day.
I'm not really a fan of the activity card system, for the same reasons you mentioned. I'm still waiting for Sony to add more sorting options for viewing trophies, though I'm not too hopeful since we haven't had that since the PS3. Not sure why you can sort all kinds of stuff, but not trophies. My most requested UI feature as a trophy hunter.
Would very much prefer not to have activity cards, resume activity button, and the discover tab cluttering up the UI, and they could really stand to present the Plus catalogue in a less disorganized way, but otherwise a big fan of the UI and loving the console as a whole. The games I'm playing look and feel better than anything I've ever played, and Dualsense and the Plus revamp are just as exciting as the new hardware!
Great video review 👍 👏
Great video bro
💯 great video especially about the mandate on the activity cards this is something that Sony needs to address to add more mystique to the ps5 an it’s software
only reason I bought a ps5 was for Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart, hope sony makes more of those.
Got mine 6 months ago and love it. The backwards compatibility to PS4 is a must though. Without that, it would have been a different experience. Love the fast load times and the kinda resume function, as well as the help and trophy functions.
Had major issues with the controller though and am still not completely comfortable with it. The really need to give us options regarding size. I don't have small hands but it's just too heavy. What use are accessibility options in software when your hardware is anything but accessible?
May be eat more??controller is not at all heavy!!!
Right. Mountain system and mountain controller for no reason
Great video as always Ryan ^_^
Stock has been getting better lately so that's at least good news finally got the Ragnarok PS5 bundle.
Took a while to get ps5 but it’s been great since. Got it just in time for Februarys bombs to drop. It’s been a great year for gaming imo. From indies to AAA. I’ve enjoyed many. Can’t wait to see what Sony and everyone else has planned for 2023.
The main thing I want to see happen is the classic games coming to the system without needing streaming. If they won’t remake the earlier god of wars (I’m only for remakes for games that were released before 2010) at least let me play it without seconds of delay in character movement. I got premium for the remainder of the year cus it was $8 but there’s no chance I keep it if streaming is the only option.
Awesome Intro! 🖤
Amazing video!
One of the best reviews I have seen, and I have seen quite a few. I do think that Sony is getting lazy pleasing their customers because they have been so successful i.e. not showing up to E3 & not bothering to counter XBox's wildly successful gamepass.
I have had ps5 for a year and it's been a bit disappointing , not too many games or console exclusives , yes the PS4 games run grat in ps4 pro mode , yes the cross gen games look better but I don't feel there is that many games or console exclusives that showcase the ps5 and I bought plenty of games through the year now I am playing god of war Ragnarok..
The biggest disappointment to me is no support for previous gens like PS3 or PS2 , I bought series s recently and it's mind-blowing how good 360 enhanced games look on the little machine I wish Sony implement propper backwards compatibility like Xbox did
I have a ps5. Do u think the series s is worth it? I have a 4K display with hdmi 2.1 and I know the series s doesn’t have 4K and so I kind of stayed away from the console
@@jaysway8972 i would say it's definitely worth it , I bought mine 2-3 months ago and I bought 3 years of Gamepass ultimate using Xbox gold keys paid £80 for 3 years .
Storage is limited only 320gb available but I added 2tb external storage and it's fine.
I also game on a 4k tv and graphics wise it's very good , 360 games run in enhanced mode ether at 1080p 60 or 1440p 60fps , series S/X games most run at 1080p/1440p 60fps but they look amazing , it has nothing to do with original Xbox one where the games run at 1080p but low graphics and look terrible . On the series s if a game run at 1080p 60fps its like running the game on pc at 1080p at max settings with 0 harsh edges 0 popping , high fidelity textures and they looks awesome.
I was expecting the series s to look bad but it surprised me a lot it's definitely worth it .
@@ccdani2 The Series S is on sale rn and I'm tempted to buy one but man that 350GB storage is just nothing with the size of modern AAA games. And buying the proprietary SSD expansion costs as much as just getting a Series X instead :(
@@deadrizen you can just use a normal external HDD that's what I do and transfer games , you can run Xbox one , 360 , and og Xbox games form an external hard drive the series s/X games have to be moved to the internal SSD
@@jaysway8972 get a series x.
Great work Ryan keep it up
13:33 What do you mean by "has the older springs for the triggers"?
Thanks for the 2 year recap! I'll consider buying one more seriously when a PS5 Slim or Pro model releases. Currently most of the console exclusives haven't caught my eye, besides the Demon's Souls remake. Also the liquid metal issues are concerning. I am looking forward to FFXVI, FFVII Rebirth, Stellar Blade, and maybe more. Since PC GPUs still cost an arm & a leg, I think Sony is building a stronger case to buy a PS5 compared to when it launched 2 years ago.
The whole liquid metal issue was a misunderstanding. Its only a potential problem if you've tampered with the internals of the device
I was an early adopter for PS5, it's the first console I actually bought on launch day, but I've just been kinda disappointed so far. There have been some great games but I certainly wouldn't describe anything that's released so far as generation defining. Realistically, how are games that are cross-gen with PS4 even supposed to be generation defining at all, they aren't even exclusive to this generation of consoles. My favorite games this year weren't from first party Sony studios (haven't beat GoW R yet so that could change). I'm hoping stuff like FF16 and Spider-Man 2 can really wow me next year, but I have to admit I am expecting Insomniac to announce that Spider-Man 2 will release for PS4, meaning "true next gen" may still be a ways away.
The lack of communication is really annoying as well, you state that Sony is taking the Nintendo route of announcing stuff when they are ready but I don't agree with this. Nintendo still shows up to trade shows like Gamescom and TGS, and they have multiple Directs/Mini-Directs/Indie Showcases a year. They also have a first party studio game almost every month. We've had I think 3 State of Plays this year from Sony, no Showcases, and they don't show up to any trade shows or really communicate what they have in the works at all. I know what Insomniac has cooking, but what else is there actually to look forward to from Sony? TLoU Factions? It's just been a pretty frustrating experience because I really want to be more enthralled in this console than I am currently. But so far it's just proven that being an early adopter is really only exciting for a very short amount of time.
I thought I was the only one thinking this...for me it was the indies this year that I'm interested in or 3rd party games. I've played the quarry, sifu, and I'm interested in the devil in me, the Callisto Protocol, TMNT cowabunga collection, TMNT shredders revenge, and cuphead/dlc. Next yr though I'll be interest in an first party game from playstation only and that's Spiderman 2
Awesome Review!!!! 🔥
So the day before Ragnarok was released I was gonna preorder a copy for my OG PS4. I went to my local GameStop asked for a copy and I made a comment like, “It’s gonna run like a jet engine on my PS4.” And the girl working the register was like we have the PS5 god of war bundle. I thought about it for a few minutes and I was like “Dammit you got me.” So long story short, I am now a PS5 owner.
Great story😂

Having been fortunate enough to own a PS5 since day 1 I am pretty happy with it. But the UI hasn’t improved at all in 2 years and PS+ Premium isn’t really doing it for me. The main reason I signed up to that tier was to play PS1 games. They hardly ever put any on the system. Also quick resume on the Xbox is so useful when switching between games. I feel like the software element is lagging behind the Xbox Series systems. The controller is a beaut though, can’t argue with that.
Get a jailbroken ps3 if you want to play old games
The dualsense controller is really good and makes a big difference in my opinion.
My biggest issue at the moment however is not having the option to buy some games i've downloaded from the game pass when they're on sale.
Gamepass?, i think you're confusing services you mean PS+ and yes some games Sony doesn’t let you buy for some weird reason.
They need to let us include what games we have installed. Not just what's in our Collection/LIbrary when it comes to game lists
I used the Activity Cards for the Modern Warfare 2 campaign and it defaulted my difficulty to Regular when I was playing on Veteran. I beat 2 levels before I realized
I just wish Sony had more weird, unique games like Gravity Rush, Shadow of the Colossus or Bloodborne. Maybe more genres like horror, puzzle, party games... or maybe finally a first person perspective game (I know VR is coming but the launch lineup looks sad to be honest). Less blockbuster but more weird shit (especially from Japan), I hope you know what I mean.
I haven't seen it's worth yet. I bought the PS5 to improve load times as well as graphics and new games. But the difference is extremely minor (load times). And when most of the games I play don't even take advantage of the Dualsense's abilities or have the new improved graphics per say (PS4 titles) then the worth to me is less. And the way Astro Bot plays with all the features but the other titles don't seems like a bait and switch maneuver. And don't get me started on PSVR!!! But whenever they decide to step the game up I'm ready...I guess.
Loved Astros playroom, sadly it's still the best game that showcases the dualsense features
Same haven't experienced anything from 4-5
I've seen too many games where trophies glitch out if you use Activity Cards so I will just never use them.
I don't have a PS5 but I liked watching this video. Looking forward to the year 3 review when I probably still won't have a PS5.
A brilliant video about the PS5. Blimey 2 years already. I luckily got mine this year with the horizon bundle. I know PS5 is an amazing console & with the graphics too but I still say the PS3 is always the best console out of all of them.
I still use mine to play divx movies
