Everytime I watch a PS5 and Xbox Series X video I get so hyped for the next gen consoles even though I haven't secured a pre-order but hopefully next week if I'm lucky will be able to get them.
The most under appreciated part of ps5 is how notifications are back on the upper right corner of the screen. I cant tell you how often the ps4 notifications got in the way of my game hud or text on the left side. Never had that problem on ps3 when it was in the upper right corner Never had
Original voice-over would be a better phrasing. Not sure what would they choose for a game like VII Remake, coz that is entirely bilingual even down to face animations. But yeah, I assume they'd go for the obvious weeb choice.
So happy the background changes and the music plays like the PS3 and PSP, that was such a cool feature and the whole X-Bar UI for those consoles felt so premium and refined, the PS4 felt like a step backwards IMO. Glad to see a return to form with the PS5. Feels super premium, can't wait to get some hands on with it on thursday!
PS4 also does this it just requires an extra step unlike on PSP and PS3. PS Vita didn't do that at all. I liked the Vita's touch UI it just wasn't as lively despite being called Live UI.
I personally never like the music playing in the background it’s kinda annoying when your just chillin n playing music on Spotify. I hope there’s an option to turn it off bc I don’t wanna constantly hear theme music it gets annoying. It’s cool but rly gets irritating eventually
@@HellxAngelz Pretty sure using Spotify automatically mutes game soundtracks only in many games on PS4 hence why OS updates also update Spotify on PS4. Not sure if the PS Music Spotify cross over will continue into next gen but I imagine it was successful last gen for Spotify. So the trend and that kind of system-level integration may continue on PS5, only time will tell.
@@HellxAngelz I meant to say that not just game music but ALL system music and ONLY MUSIC is also muted when running Spotify so your streamed audio is clear and uninterrupted (so long as you also disable system sound which is separate from system music and is not automatically muted when playing Spotify tracks, the setting is in the same submenu in PS4's settings).
@@HellxAngelz Actually when PlayStation had implemented Qriocity music streaming (Sony's own canceled music streaming service which was replaced with PS Music through Spotify) on PS Vita that system would also automatically mute system level music and only music as well as game music in most games automatically without changing any system or game settings permanently just like on PS4. Of course a Spotify app on PS Vita never appeared, but those automatic features also extended to the PS Vita's own built-in music player application. I haven't seen how the PS4's music player app effects system and game audio, but I'd find it hard to believe it is treated much differently.
@RE fan Sure you did buddy. Is it always the case wherever you're from that peeps tend to give up their invested ecosystem simply cuz of initial inconveniences like simple minded buffoons? Cerny has made clear features not present during the launch will be updated in. Ps5 apparently sold the amount it took ps4 3 months to achieve. Quit trying to take out the shine with your spit.
As someone who does have all my devices in French but always prefer having the original audio for voiceovers (which most of the time is English), the system-level audio language feature is much appreciated. It's like they made it specially for me.
Digital Foundry is one of the most important youtube channels to me as this channel has taught me more about computer graphics like Anti-Aliasing, TAA, SubSurface Scattering etc.
I’m really disappointed that we cannot store ps5 games on external hd. That’s going to be a major concern. I use an external 4TB to store all my PS4 games.
@RE fan I hope we don't have to wait all that time for an update? That would be devastating, having to delete and re install games all the time. It could even push people towards Xbox?
In the PS blog post, Sony said they are looking to bring that feature in a feature update. In my opinion, storing PS5 games on an external drive and having to move them to internal every time you wanna play the games is a short-term clunky solution that defeats the major selling point of next-gen which is instantly jumping into games. Eventually, you are going to want the M.2 SSD expansion.
@@mac_czy9654 Keep in mind the PS4 originally did not have support for themes. It came in a later update. There's nothing to suggest right now that themes won't come later on the PS5.

Also I need to buy an external drive for PS4 games. I would like to take advantage of faster load times, will you guys do a video like you did for Series X testing PS4 loading times across a variety of drives?
@@arbiter- honestly you can just get a $50 1TB drive and it works fine. Maybe a few seconds loading difference but I never really noticed any issues. Even if you run them off of an external SSD, loading times are cut in half at most

Warzone for example suffers from a lot of that early in the match, but on the PS5's SSD all of it is eliminated. I'd be willing to spend more money on a quality drive, that's not the issue. I just want to see the differences (if there are any) between USB connected drives.

@@reddonut1518 You're probably right but a lot has changed since then. I'll just wait for the time being, someone is bound to test a variety of drives and put the results online. I bought a WD Black D10 external for my PS4 but after a while I ended up using it as a backup for my old PC. Glad I did because I would have lost everything when it's main drive failed. When using it on my PS4 the transfer speeds were terribly slow, it's USB 3.0 7200rpm rated at up to 250MB/s but it was doing less than half of that speed, on top of that it vibrated the fuck out of my desk. Backing up from my PC which didn't have USB 3.0 took ages, transfer speeds were like 5MB/s for 4TB of storage, it took days to complete. So now I'm wary of any drive marketed for gaming, the noise and vibration were the worst part. Even when the drive wasn't being accessed it would randomly start, so now it just sits on my desk unplugged until I actually need to transfer files.
15 years ago if you would’ve told me I’d be watching all my news on TH-cam and other stuff more than cable tv, I would’ve been ignoring you the whole time while saying that’s crazy......
@@davidvillamarin7164 it obviously supports 4k but monitors are better prepared for gaming and there are people on PC who are thinking of buying a ps5 for some of the games. A lot of these people already have 1440p monitors and thus the importance of 1440p support, just like all Xbox consoles do.
Thank you again for the great information and I really enjoy going through the A / V settings (super gamer av nerd here) There is magic when playing a console or game in the best possible fidelity visually and mastered audio tracks laying the ground work for the sound that players will remember. Devs are awesome and the gaming community I think would agree that we need them. Keep up the great Guys and thanks John L. for this one.
i hope they bring 1440p resolution support on post-launch update. if Xbox can do it, there no excuse for that. the main reason I want 1440p support is because 4K 144hz monitor still expensive.
Anyways, there would be no point in buying a 4k144hz monitor as they don't support HDMI 2.1 yet. It is better to wait for the end of 2020/begining of 2021 for the upcoming monitors. There are lots of other reasons why 1440p should be a native output resolution: 1. 4k even at 60hz is still too much for consoles (and most PCs if set to Ultra) so it will be limited graphics settings wise. 2. Framerate>resolution as long as the resolution is not just 1080p 3. 4k is only really noticeable on +30" screens 4. There are people who already have 1440@144hz which are even better suited for gaming than TVs (input lag i.e) Some people consider they did not add it because Sony sells 4k TVs
Seems they have found a design that they like at least for now they have been tweaking it for a couple of month now , more for big tv than monitor for sure.
There isn't a menu which tells which HDMI 2.1 features are currently available on the console, and which ones are supported by the connected display... something similar to what the Xbox Series X has, which is something useful to let people know what display features they can expect from their current setup.
The Xbox UI seems more practical and convenient, while the PS UI seems more elegant and interactive. I do wish Microsoft would add some music to the Xbox UI because it’s a little too quiet.
Are we still able to activate primary accounts like on the PS4? So if I have a game on my account and I activate my account as the primary account on my son's ps5 then switch to his account can I play the games that I own on his ps5 like we can already do on ps4?
Will you do a comparison between external SSD VS HDD for ps4 games on ps5 like you did with the xbox series x? Or do you think its unnecessary and the results will be similar?
I liked this deep dive look at the PS5 interface, the best and most soothing one I've seen so far.. Thank you John = ) And yeah why not do the same for Xbox Series, would be fairplay I think.
I’m actually loving the ps5 UI more than xbox. Also the dual-sense haptic feedback is making me want to play more on ps5 now since the controller is something you will be holding for hours, months and years on end.
@@amnril I just feel like they could be doing a lot more as far as access is concerned. I like the simplicity styled look but it's still clunky with navigation having to cycle through everything etc
Good to finally see a complete use scenario, thanks! Q: Is there is no HDR calibration tool like Xbox has had for quite some time is that correct? It's a fairly simple thing to do and I'm not sure why Sony never included it. Fingers crossed!
I would recommend turning the USB mode for the controller on. It completely eliminates audio glitches when listening to game audio through headphones connected to the controller.
I need to know, how does system activation work? Do I need to deactivate my PS4 in order to activate a PS5? I really hope to put my PS5 in the living room and have it activated so my whole family can play on it. But I also hope the family can play in the other room on the PS4 when I want to play the PS5. All games are purchased on my account, so I really hope I can keep the PS4 activated for the family for when I'm playing on the PS5.

So now I'm wary of any drive marketed for gaming, the noise and vibration were the worst part. Even when the drive wasn't being accessed it would randomly start, so now it just sits on my desk unplugged until I actually need to transfer files.
The Homescreen looks so clean and nice!
mm I love French fries.. 🍟
@@joi0001 I do too 🍟
I’m hoping to get the digital edition within the next couple months :) the hype is real
15 years ago if you would’ve told me I’d be watching all my news on TH-cam and other stuff more than cable tv, I would’ve been ignoring you the whole time while saying that’s crazy......
As an Xbox guy, I really love the artistic flair Sony has in their UI. And having a mic and speaker built into the controller is a really nice touch.
You'll think that until you play a multiplayer game and you have to mute every single kid that is being screamed at for not doing their homework
Everyone having a mic in the controller will be a fucking nightmare.
Screaming kids: hold my beer
A new video for LICHDOM BATTLEMAGE? Hell yeah, I am hyped!!
That spider man game just loaded within 1 sec bruhhh. Now that's fast
Welcome to John Linneman ASMR..... light some candles and take a load off.
I’ve never been more interested in menus in my life 😂
Does it support 1440p cuz it’s the one thing you didn’t go over
It better SUPPORT 4k, getting a tv for next gen consoles.
@@davidvillamarin7164 it obviously supports 4k, lol.
It doesn’t currently support 1440p
@@davidvillamarin7164 it obviously supports 4k but monitors are better prepared for gaming and there are people on PC who are thinking of buying a ps5 for some of the games. A lot of these people already have 1440p monitors and thus the importance of 1440p support, just like all Xbox consoles do.
Thank you again for the great information and I really enjoy going through the A / V settings (super gamer av nerd here) There is magic when playing a console or game in the best possible fidelity visually and mastered audio tracks laying the ground work for the sound that players will remember. Devs are awesome and the gaming community I think would agree that we need them. Keep up the great Guys and thanks John L. for this one.
I really dig those quality of life improvements. I'll be setting my subtitles "on" by default. Love me some subtitles
Thanks for the content! The community appreciates it
Thanks for sharing this. It’s so nice they’re bringing the old Xbox 360 feature to set vertical camera control default! I missed that this gen.
i dont like how the game icons are so small in the menu
They are hard to see for me too!
Same, I cant imagine there wouldnt be a customize title size option tho
I like it cause of my big ass tv
DF is happy. They can test new consoles. Again and again. Nice job.
Gotta love Sony and their finesse with this kind of stuff 😍
Thanks for a great video as always Digital foundry 💕💕💕
i hope they bring 1440p resolution support on post-launch update. if Xbox can do it, there no excuse for that.
the main reason I want 1440p support is because 4K 144hz monitor still expensive.
I think 2.1 TVs are cheaper than 2.1 monitors
Anyways, there would be no point in buying a 4k144hz monitor as they don't support HDMI 2.1 yet. It is better to wait for the end of 2020/begining of 2021 for the upcoming monitors. There are lots of other reasons why 1440p should be a native output resolution:
1. 4k even at 60hz is still too much for consoles (and most PCs if set to Ultra) so it will be limited graphics settings wise.
2. Framerate>resolution as long as the resolution is not just 1080p
3. 4k is only really noticeable on +30" screens
4. There are people who already have 1440@144hz which are even better suited for gaming than TVs (input lag i.e)
Some people consider they did not add it because Sony sells 4k TVs
I watched this on my 4K TV, holy shit the UI looks crisp!!
Hope Microsoft isn't so undecided about it's interface this generation, the Xbox One had about 6 redesigns
Seems they have found a design that they like at least for now they have been tweaking it for a couple of month now , more for big tv than monitor for sure.
@Kuro Afrakan same
It’s still very confusing,too
I liked this also. Made it always feel fresh and new. I don't want the same interface for 7 years lol
Why are you not talking about the lack of 1440p support?
I was looking for this vid literally an hour ago! Now I can watch before bed! Thanks DF.
There isn't a menu which tells which HDMI 2.1 features are currently available on the console, and which ones are supported by the connected display... something similar to what the Xbox Series X has, which is something useful to let people know what display features they can expect from their current setup.
Good to see Lichdom: Battlemage surviving in to the next generation.
It makes my day whenever I get a notification that DF have uploaded a new video.
3:20 YS VIII lacrimosa of dana, amazing game, everyone should try it
it's an okay game to me
its amazing
I'd love to buy it for a Vita, but it's so damn expensive >.< Maybe one day...
Yes, please do the series X as well! Very excited for both consoles.
Man 3D audio settings are actually a key feature of the PS5, u should've showed it :((
Show what?
It’s literally just a button to turn on and options that you would prefer that’s bout it
The PlayStation support youtube channel uploaded a “recommended settings” video and they go over it briefly there
3d audio works only with special sony headphones. So who cares.
@@thegoose8663 that's not true
Oh man the Playstation menu always has a relaxing vibe.
At first I hated the small icons on the home screen for games, but the cover art and theme music of the game playing in the bg changed my mind.
The Xbox UI seems more practical and convenient, while the PS UI seems more elegant and interactive. I do wish Microsoft would add some music to the Xbox UI because it’s a little too quiet.
i love the little touch of the highlight box bending in the direction you're scrolling in the settings menu. NICE!
Are we still able to activate primary accounts like on the PS4? So if I have a game on my account and I activate my account as the primary account on my son's ps5 then switch to his account can I play the games that I own on his ps5 like we can already do on ps4?
Yea i need to know this too :( .. we have so many games shared over 2 accounts
Yes it’s just called offline play or something
I need to know this because I’m giving my PS4 to my girlfriend and want to still be able to have my games on both systems
You can still gameshare
Yes, it works
Kinda annoyed with no 1440p support
@Tech Hybrid does not make a difference to you but people who play with 1440p monitors are stuck with 1080p which doesn’t scale very well on them.
@Chris _ they could have patched them on PS4 like Xbox but didn’t so I’m not expecting it
@Chris _ doesn’t explain lack of 1440p or even they haven’t considered free sync not just vrr
The library reminds me of the Switch.
I sold mine for weed

Xbox player here but i love the Playstation UI, so simple and beautiful. Have fun everyone
The only setting I was hoping to see was one of the only settings you didn't show. The game sharing settings
True
I eould like to hav seen this too, vid was great tho
Same!
Thank you for telling us all this it has been very helpful for me. 👍🏼😁
Damn it, they took folders away! My OCD is gonna go mad!
Should've also mentioned that the ps5 doesn't support native 1440p. Hope they roll out an update to add and 1440p.
Freesync is vrr
@@HasimFN yeah. But I mean, force of habit I still say freesync.
@@HasimFN it's just nice because VRR is universal.
@@Nonx47 broo vrr is adaptive sync
@@HasimFN more like universal adaptive vsync tho
12:57 Oh, God! Thank you so much!!!! 🥰
Will you do a comparison between external SSD VS HDD for ps4 games on ps5 like you did with the xbox series x? Or do you think its unnecessary and the results will be similar?
This had the feel of the old PS Underground tips and tricks videos. Very nice.
I wish you could have show the accessibility option, I want to see if zoom function still there. Please
Same. I love the zoom function on PS4.
It is still there.
@@geraldroof1481 One of GameSpot PS5 review video show there is no Zoom function in accessibility menu.
I liked this deep dive look at the PS5 interface, the best and most soothing one I've seen so far.. Thank you John = )
And yeah why not do the same for Xbox Series, would be fairplay I think.
That’s on Alex, he’s the Xbox guy, but the UI is literally just the Xbox Series Xs UI, so not much of a point there
No point.The current xbox ui is going to be the same as the xsx.
4:44 PS4 used to be like that and then PS5 was announced and we were given a bunch of mystery updates described as "bug fixed and improvements"
This content is a godsend for me as I’m waiting for my PS5 to be delivered
I’m actually loving the ps5 UI more than xbox. Also the dual-sense haptic feedback is making me want to play more on ps5 now since the controller is something you will be holding for hours, months and years on end.
Not sure how you can like it more.
It's basic, boring and things just aren't layed out well in my opinion since the PS3.
Yes it’s a nice evolution of the PS4’s which was a tangible improvement over the PS3’s.
Sadly wait much slower loading times than xbox series x. It pisses me off a whole lot.
@@amnril I just feel like they could be doing a lot more as far as access is concerned. I like the simplicity styled look but it's still clunky with navigation having to cycle through everything etc
@@leiflala Salty Xbot found.
I wonder how many people will actually stop playing call of duty because of it's ridiculous size
Most of the cod hardcore probs wont care or notice
@Liquid Sunshine They should let people fully uninstall the Campaign. Most just play multiplayer
I already have
Good to finally see a complete use scenario, thanks!
Q: Is there is no HDR calibration tool like Xbox has had for quite some time is that correct? It's a fairly simple thing to do and I'm not sure why Sony never included it. Fingers crossed!
Man this looks cool as hell!
I wish they would include test patterns like the xbox :(
@man0z Allow you to calibrate your tv settings.
Does it show the download speed when downloading games? Because that's the thing I've been missing on the PS4.
You don't need to see download speed lol
When I'm downloading the game's then I see that it's download 8MB per sec lol
Apparently someone noted it's went vary from 1 to 10 minutes on PS5, compared with 10 to 50 minutes on PS4.
@@Graxu132 if he wants to see download speed then that's him who tf are you to tell him what he does it doesn't need you absolute m o r o n
Nope. Saw this on a Giant Bomb UI video.
@@Graxu132 Now that is pretty sad to be honest.
I can’t wait to have the PS5 in hand 🖐. Thank John and Digital Foundry like all waise.
I would recommend turning the USB mode for the controller on. It completely eliminates audio glitches when listening to game audio through headphones connected to the controller.
Thank you for going in such detail!! Loved it.
I need to know, how does system activation work? Do I need to deactivate my PS4 in order to activate a PS5? I really hope to put my PS5 in the living room and have it activated so my whole family can play on it. But I also hope the family can play in the other room on the PS4 when I want to play the PS5. All games are purchased on my account, so I really hope I can keep the PS4 activated for the family for when I'm playing on the PS5.
I need to know this too. Let me know if u find any info
Let me know if you find anything saying you can do this cause I wanna do the same thing
I seen somewhere that you can use both systems with the same account at the same time. Don't remember where though.
From what I took from this you can have a primary ps5 and a primary ps4 and they will both work
@@sageskeleton1400 haven't found anything yet. If I don't learn about it before I get the one I pre-ordered, I'll try to remember and update this once I test it out. Unless I end up selling my PS5 without opening it. I really wanted the digital model, but was only able to secure the disc-based model so I haven't fully made up my mind if I'm keeping it yet.
My "Your Collection" is going to be so freaking huge with nearly all the PS+ games ever + my disc collection + some games I bought digitally. Hopefully you can remove content from the collection like demo's.
Soothing is right, this is my third time trying to watch it because I keep falling asleep.
