Gaming PlayStation 5

Don't know how precise these measurements but probably a rough guide as to size...

Of all of those, the PS5 catches your eyes the most. I just hope it's quiet
 
The Xbox one X and Series X are by far the nicest by design.
Simple and compact.
The series X I guess is chunky to an extent, but it's a simple box, nothing extravagant
 
Thought the actual console looked great, the launch games look as terrible as ever its nearly always the same every console launch.

From what i've seen there is no hurry or reason to preorder either console you won't be missing much, i will probs go down the nvidia 3 series cards first then get a PS5 at a later date.

Wait for those glorious single player exclusives to appear before jumping in to the PS5 as multiplayer on console is rubbish imo.
 
I think the PS5 looks fine, especially if you're in a dedicated gaming room or something, but that thing sat in a living room isn't a great look
 
@Kush

This was the last word from Sony




Top 100 at launch. Many more over time.

Now you might be right, nearly every game might be playable at launch. But Sony havent said that.

But I think you're dreaming if you think your old games will suddenly play better

Not to mention that you won't be able to play PS3 games on it, purely because the new machine hasn't got the power to match Teh Cell, of course.

How so? I'm really not sure how you can even reach that conclusion. More populated servers and less cheaters says pretty much all there is to say. I'd choose MP on console over PC any day of the week, tbh.

Because beyond the few cheaters that isn't as big as people make out, games run way better on PC, and they're populated just fine

Yeah I thought that when I read they designed it purposely to be sat in a living room. If that was the case then make it a sleek, minimalist, black design not a fecking space dildo with a blue light
 
This is simply not true. You are misleading people



Eurogamer - today June 12th
The thing saying that only the top 100 PS4 games will be playable at launch is the thing that is misleading.

UPDATE: A quick update on backward compatibility – With all of the amazing games in PS4’s catalog, we’ve devoted significant efforts to enable our fans to play their favorites on PS5. We believe that the overwhelming majority of the 4,000+ PS4 titles will be playable on PS5.

We’re expecting backward compatible titles will run at a boosted frequency on PS5 so that they can benefit from higher or more stable frame rates and potentially higher resolutions. We’re currently evaluating games on a title-by-title basis to spot any issues that need adjustment from the original software developers.

In his presentation, Mark Cerny provided a snapshot into the Top 100 most-played PS4 titles, demonstrating how well our backward compatibility efforts are going. We have already tested hundreds of titles and are preparing to test thousands more as we move toward launch. We will provide updates on backward compatibility, along with much more PS5 news, in the months ahead. Stay tuned!

They've tested hundreds but Cerny was using the 100 most played as an example of how well they were doing.

Most people don't actually know what hacks look like in game. It's fashionable to say every PC game is plagued by them (it's a great excuse when you lose!) just as much as over inflated the cost of a gaming PC.

SoT is hilarious for kids accusing other xbox players of "hacking" I even get it when playing console only servers :lol:

Yeah, as much as I love Doc on twitch, every time he dies he questions who killed him and how!
Honestly, I agree on the inflated costs. I only switched to the PC a few years ago after buying the X. Best thing I did was get a PC. You don't realise the power and options you have until you get one, But I think thats were a lot of people don't understand, like me, I didn't even know FPS was a thing until I looked into the PC.

As for cost, it's nowhere near as much as people make out

I think to say "few cheaters" is quite an understatement. Anything even remotely competitive will undoubtedly suffer from cheaters on PC. More than on console, being my point.

I'm not saying that PC server populations aren't fine. The OP said that console MP was rubbish and I pointed out that console server population is healthier than PC, generally - quite a lot healthier, in fact - so I couldn't see how he had reached the conclusion that the console MP experience is worse than the PC one.

Yeah true, I don't know why Eurogamer (of all companies) are saying "only" the top 100.

Sony have said repeatedly that the majority of the 4000 PS4 games will play on PS5, but they haven't said when.

To be fair that's the worst angle for it but it doesnt look that much better from above

I'd prefer that in my living room, to be honest.


I'm sure it'll look a lot better in black at least.

destiny on pc by all accounts has been destroyed at the competitive level on pvp by cheaters, wall hacks, unlimited supers, instant deaths, instant revives.
 
Imagine preferring the Xbox design. How can you like just a literal box. PS5 is deffo not for everyone but it’s just miles better than the Xbox design.
 
I actually think the Xbox looks nice... If it were a desktop tower.

I like simplistic looks and there's nothing simplistic about the ps5 look, but at least it's.. different?

And wait for people’s mothers using it as a stool to stand on, it’s also perfect to just put let’s say a game case on top of it fecking with the fan.

Because it's a very neutral design.
As basic as it comes, but it's neat and tidy

The PS5 on the other hand, unless you're living on a spaceship, that won't quite fit the decor or a living room, unless you're @One Night Only
 
I like the just a box-ness design of the Xbox. It looks like a futuristic AI centre from an Alien type film or something, rather than something that would have been on totallyrad3dblendertutorials.com in 2006.

Clearly I think differently but to me, a £500- £600 piece of tech should stand out! The Xbox is so unimaginative which I get, kind of fits in more but that shouldn't always be the purpose.

I also prefer Xbox simplistic design by far. The PS5 Internet Router is just fecking ugly to me. It seems like they tried too hard for something much different and the result is not pretty for me.

Minimalist > Try harding always for me.

Fair enough, doesn't make it any less maddening to me. Innovative unique design > Minimalist design.

I think there needs to be a balance, i.e. the PS4. Interesting design, with consideration given to potential cohesiveness.

Not everyone wants to make a gaming console the star feature of their room.

The skill level on console is just rubbish, competitive gaming on console isn't for me mouse and raw aim is just better.

Cheating is an issue on pc sure, but the majority of the time people are just better then you but its easy to call cheats we are all guilty of it.
 
I’ve never gave a shit as to how a console looks before tbh. Literally has no bearing in what it’s meant for gaming and entertainment, the only time I look at it is to turn it on or put a disk in ha. I’ve never thought how it would look in a room or if it goes with other things in that room that would put me off buying it. Maybe just me though. :lol:

Skill level on console is arguably higher than PC. As you say, mouse and raw aim is better, but that's maybe easier to learn? Learning with a controller may be much harder so a harder art to perfect.

Skill on console isn't rubbish at all.

And for you they'll have one in black no doubt. Which I'm sure we'll fit in fine with most setups...
Where have you pre-ordered from?
@Bojan11 what was that link you shared the other day again?

If it's costing a fortune, I am putting it in the centre of the room on a pedestal with spotlights shining down onto it.
 
I would really like to see the living rooms of people saying it will not fit in theirs :lol:
