There is barely anything major about the PS5 so far except that it launched and it has a unique controller.
Its been like half a year with barely any new awesome games, barely any significant updates like a better app resume/switch feature.....
The PS4 came with a big punch. This one just arrived and said "hi".
The frst 3 playstation generations were awesomely better.
The AAA games were being poured in.
How do you get this perception? Between boosted BC and new titles, a new playstation never had such a strong launch-day and release window library, at least in what refers to exclusives (they multiplatform 3rd parties..).
Just on launch-day you had Astro Playroom for free to show-off DualSense, Demon's Souls being by far the best-looking 9th generation game to date, Miles Morales showing off some raytracing and absence of loading times, Sackboy for an excellent coop platforming and some weird indie experiences like Bugsnax. And Godfall which might still get a Destiny treatment and become and actually enjoyable game for coop PvE. Of course not to mention the Plus Collection with boosted gems like 4K60 Days Gone.
Now compare that to the PS4 which had Killzone ShadowFall, Knack and Resogun, plus some weird experiences like Flower.. Or the PS3 that came out with Genji (of the famous giant enemy crab meme) and Resistance.
This month we'll get Returnal, in May we get Deathloop, In June there's the new Ratchet&Clank and FFVII Intergrade, Kena coming in August, and for the last quarter we're getting Horizon2 and Final Fantasy XVI.
While not everyone must like every one of these games, in terms of 1st-year exclusive game releases the PS5 is killing it. There's a new AA / AAA exclusive coming out practically every month.
Which makes it all the more weird how Sony is keeping rather quiet about it.
Only uses ~13Mbps of bandwidth as well so they could push it higher.
13Mbps for 1080p60 is a lot if it's using H265. That's almost as much as Netflix uses for 4K30 HDR (15Mbps), so it's actually using about twice the data per pixel in each frame.
I don't find the auto HDR intrusive at all, am I the only one? I can hardly notice it, if I'm honest.
Same here. I don't know what "crushed blacks" even means... but I'm using a C9 OLED which might be better prepared for a higher range of zones with low luminance.
