Playstation 5 [PS5] [Release November 12 2020]
- Thread starter BRiT
- Start date
I still haven’t bothered to check if menu/map screens that max PS4 Pro fans do so because of high power draw. While the PS5 should be quiet(er) all the time, I wonder how it will handle those screens, new binary or old.
I'm not sure why people are pre-ordering any of these consoles. Feels like we still getting drips of important info on things like BC, haven't see the consoles perform, noise tests, etc...
The amount of info you will have 2 or 3 weeks after they launch will be much more complete than now.

They saw games, this is enough for them. They know PS4 games will run on PS5. They know the next ND games, God of War, Horizon game will be on PS5. We miss the OS on Sony side but with the SSD and new CPU I think it will be faster and I hope an improvement of PS Store too.
Sony said after the first PS4 PRo*, this time they said they pay attention to the problem** and last PS4 Pro revision solve it too.
* I have one of this model and this is horrible.
** The PS5 is so huge with so many vent on the back, I don't think it will be a problem
Skeptical view says its not, as its simply where Sony can claim "its not up to us, its up to the individual publishers".
Edit:
Nothing special. So no way to use PS4 physical games on PS5 DE.

And after those 2-3 weeks when they found out that PS5 is what they want?
Wait 1-4 months until they are easily available? That doesnt sound fun either
If they would be easily available then sure, but the whole reason of pre-orders is literally to get the console at or near the launch, because they are so hard to find.
I had to hunt ps4 for 2-3 weeks when I wanted to buy one on launch day but didnt find any, by hunt I meant check +20 online stores for 12h/day until Amazon france had few units available.
It took at least 3 months until I saw them on regular stores commonly.
BC = 99% of ps4 games work = ok
Games shown so far look good = ok
Price is good = ok
Only things I would like to know if it does sound like a vacuum cleaner like my ps4s did
But even if they are quiet, I get loud one anyway with my luck
I think the next batch is the 22th September.
HBRU
Regular
Holy words
Lol. I am pretty sure it’s an upgrade similar to the COD BLOPS 4 one. You insert PS4 Disc and get access to PS5. But Disc still required
Interesting. Okay will try again around then
Correct. Nothing special. So no way to use PS4 physical games on PS5 DE.
