Playstation The Official Playstation 5 Thread

thanks lol. having my fiance get it and then shipping it to me internationally is not ideal but I'd rather wait a few days than not have it at all around the launch.

congrats on the fiance, too!

So yakuza Like a Dragon is another game that if you buy the ps4 disc, the ps5 upgrade will be free once you install it in the ps5. Spider-Man 2018 can't relate even more.

Though, it looks like, most ps4 saves aren't transferable which I imagined to be the case or elseSony would have mentioned already that save files are transferable. Well Yakuza Like a Dragon already confirmed that its save files aren't transferable to ps5 from ps4.

Yakuza Like a Dragon PS5 Launch Date Confirmed for March 2021

yeah, this policy doesn't even make any sense. Why let users upgrade for free to the PS5 version, only to make them start all over with their progress since their save files won't transfer over. That just doesn't make any sense.

Regardless, as I said in the Xbox thread, this is just one of several big outstanding questions that Sony needs to address ASAP. Are they going to come out and say the PS5 upgraded versions of Ghost, Horizon, and TLOU2 will require us either to pay for the "remastered" version (like Spider-Man) or else that our progress won't carry over? What about other 3rd party titles like Cyberpunk or AC Valhalla?

If there are indeed going to be more "barriers" to games and saves transferring seamlessly from the PS4 to PS5, and more so than what Xbox is doing, that would definitely give me pause and cause me to possibly rethink my decision to go with PS5.

I don't really want to be in that position, but I won't be happy if my saves and progress on all my PS4 games won't transfer over to the PS5 and I'd have to start all over.

So, Sony definitely has to clear this up.

So xbox only has 802 GB useable out of the 1 TB hard drive so yeah get ready for ps5 to only have around 625 useable GB.

This feels like if Sony deepfaked their previous Spidey films to replace Tobey and Andrew with Tom, but left everything else as it was, it's just bizarre, and their reasoning makes no sense.

I heard a rumor that PS5 hands on start tomorrow

 

[XtremelyBaneful]

Sony owns one of the record labels Travis Scott is on, sooo...

I heard a rumor that PS5 hands on start tomorrow

I think some Japanese gamers are doing that this weekend or latest Monday

wow. I didn't respond to this because I didn't think it would be true. But it turns out I just didn't want to believe it (if this is even real)

 

[Silvermoth]

Looking cool, I was hoping for something a bit more radical but looking good so far

 

[psylockolussus]

It ain't real?

 

[XtremelyBaneful]

It ain't real?

No way to tell man. I want it to be fake though.

 

[psylockolussus]

Accordingto this

Report: Unverified 'Leaked' Video Shows PS5 Boot Up

It might be fake.

If its real, I don't like it. Maybe its just the theme that we could easily change in the settings section, but the buttons and the layout look too demoish for my taste. I don't like the UI of the Series X as well.

 

[psylockolussus]

Some good news

Japanese Streamers Praise PS5 Cooling System After Hands-on Previews

Ps5's fan is quiet and X is now the default confirm button for all ps5 games withthe O button as the default back button. The X and O switcheroo sometimes confuses me when I'm playing games. I have more games that uses X as the confirm button andthe O as the back button. It must be a region thing so I'm glad the ps5 games won't have this issue.

 

[Superhero 101]

Thank god about the fan my ps4 fan is ridiculously loud

there have been videos of ps5 from Japanese gamers showing off the ps4. Looks pretty neat no ui vids though

 

[Silvermoth]

This is good as I also agree the ps4 is a bit noisy. Can’t wait to have a go of it

 

[psylockolussus]

Yeah weirdly my ps4 slim made some noise yesterday and there was no disc in it. As much as I prefer a smaller console in physical size, I would take a gigantic looking console if it means the console have a better cooling system and its more durable. Hopefully one day, they'll figure out how to make a super slim console and it doesn't make any noise especially when running big games.

I don't use my air conditioner to save electricity. I wonder if the ps4 doesnt make any noise if the room is super cold?

 

[TheWallCrawler]

I played Spiderman on my brother's ps4 slim and it sounded like a vacuum cleaner. So that's good news definitely

 

[X Knight]

good to hear about the quieter fan. My Pro definitely sounded like a jet-engine.....lol. The 664gb of usable space is also to be expected, given the 800gb of usable space for the Series X. Still wish the PS5 had a 1tb drive like the Series X. But it is what it is.

Also, seeing the PS5 in real-life shots and videos makes me appreciate the design more. Yes, it is big and tall, but at least it has an interesting design. Seeing the Series X in real pics and videos makes me like the design of that console less. It's just coming across as a big, boring block with a lot of wasted design space on the front middle part. The Series X looks especially bad on its side, whereas the PS5 still looks cool on its side.

Hopefully, Sony will give us the official teardown and look at the UI soon. as well as officially address BC, PS5 upgrades, and the issues of saves for certain games not carrying over.

 

[psylockolussus]

Ps5 does look better especially the controller in the recent Japanese react vlogs.

Really? I always thought it was more of a issue on the pro has it seems like most the people that complain about sound are on the pro and i have never had issues with fan sound on my slim or regular ps4 i had before that. I traded in regular for slim when with the trade in value and such i only had to pay like 100 to get slim and 1 of my controllers was going bad to.

This looks Sick!!

 

[psylockolussus]

It looks out of this world! Get those early ps5 sales Sony!

 

[X Knight]

I have no interest in this game. But, this shows off next gen graphics. And once again, it is gameplay that is shown running on a PS5.
