The critics have spoken, PS5 is the only true gen 9 console.

"In his review, GameSpot's Mat Paget revealed that he completed all of stealth challenges in Insomniac's Spider-Man: Miles Morales through Activities cards in the PS5 Control Center -- no need to navigate through the game's menus or even traverse its open world to the mission marker. This is made possible, he said, by the PS5's consistently fast load times for all games." - This for me is something fantastic and great QoL. Hope a lot of devs use it.

"This may be the most crucial difference between PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S at the dawn of this new generation. We cannot simply ignore the fact that Microsoft has made a conscious choice to move away from vast leaps between consoles, and toward the kind of consistency the Game Pass ecosystem demands. But we also can't ignore that Microsoft's choice inherently reduces opportunities to exploit the excitement of the new -- which is what hardware reviewers look for when arriving at their conclusions." - They seem to think this thinking held Xbox back (similar to our Goochs thinking).

Not to forget several reviewers basically claimed that Dual Sense makes it feel a next-gen much more than RT, SSD and the TFlops. Including Digital Foundry if I'm not wrong.

And Yoshi agrees with them.

Not that hard to transcend the Series X, when it's only around 17% more powerful than you are. For comparison's sake the PS4 was 40% more powerful than the launch model XB1, for $100 less.

I honestly can’t tell if this is a joke thread or not. But props to Sony for bringing something new.

Considering there won't be a big difference between XSX and PS5 when it comes to performance on multiplats, adaptive triggers and haptic feedback are going to definitely put the ball in Sony's court this coming gen. Something tells me MS might come out with a new controller in 1-2 years.

Whoops. Double post.

oh i get it you guys drink on sunday night, now all other posts make sense

we need to coordinate this better next time

I don't think there is a drinking problem on VGChartz based on that thread lol

Can't back up your saves via USB on PS5. Giant Bomb UI walkthrough shows it's missing a lot of basic features PS4 has. BC is confusing. The system can't even lay on its side without attachments and a screw that everyone will lose. PS5 seems rushed esp in UI.

The drunk people obviously were too drunk to hit the right button. The drinking problem of VGC users is very evident from that thread.

You create a problem with challenges and trophy hunting, but solve it in the next-gen with cards.

And if the Dual Sense is next-gen, no one come complaining when the Switch is considered next-gen too. Haptic feedback for the win!
