That's the main reason. You can't find horizon 3 digitally anywhere, and it's still a top game with working servers. Hence why I'm keen to purchase 4.
Gaming PS5 vs Xbox Series S|X
- Thread starter afrocentricity
- Start date
Rocket league @120 FPS will come (it had better come).
No denying that MS are the kings of b/c and enabling last gen games to run at 120fps is a feather in their cap.
I don't have a monitor/tele capable of playing at 120fps but it's nice to have the option
Saw cod on a mates monitor though and it was nice.
Sounds like 120fps might not come or will take some time. A rocket league dev said earlier this week that it's a simple patch on Xbox but a full on port on PS5.
Are we going to sail at some point? I haven't played in ages so will be rusty, if it makes you feel any better
Also, you keep talking about Control as a GOTY contender, I assume you have completed it? You talk about Quantum Break too, but what about the real game in all of these Alan Wake? Do we not find Control decent, but a sidestep and the Wake DLC very much unimaginative both in terms of story and gameplay?
Speaking of Control, since you couldn't really tell the ray tracing in Spiderman MM (and I don't blame people for that, again as I said, it will show more in dedicated levels), if you ever get the chance you should play it on PC with high raytracing settings. Just like MM or Demon's Souls and the fps thing, it's about time console gamers saw the light.
If you can organise a crew and tell me what the feck I'm doing, I'm happy to play.
I haven't played Control. In fact Alan Wake is the one game from them I have played and completed. The reason I say it was a GOTY contender is because I saw it win lots of GOTY (including IGN, gamesradar, game informer, ps magazine etc.). The point I am trying to make is the limitations of 2nd party and why MS needed to perhaps be more courageous or patient to extract value out of a multi game partnership.
Yea, hopefully both systems get that patch at some point.I don't have a monitor/tele capable of playing at 120fps but it's nice to have the option

I'd love for some new content in Rocket League. I want to see Rocket League battle royale
Also would be fun to see some racing maps
The current racing maps made by fans tend to recreate other maps (this being a Mario Kart Wii map), but an actual rocket league racing map would be very different requiring a lot more aerials and tight turns.
Also competitive 4v4 etc.
I have to say 120 hz TVs are not very expensive.
https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-best-4k-tvs-for-hdr-gaming-7009
This 4k 120 HZ HDR 55" Samsung Q80T is only £899. My 1080p 40" normal tv cost me £600 8 years ago. (Just heck that it is 120hz before buying as it doesn't say it is on Amazon)
I'm not suggesting anyone here buy one but looks like they'll be the norm going forwards

Even a 48” is still too big for where I want to put it. I have bought a second desk to make an “L” shaped work and play environment - make it easier to sneak a few games in while working. I’ll have to hold out until Eve fulfill more pre-order or jump at an earlier 32” monitor like supersonic or ASUS.
Amazon Prime has saved me a shitton of money in shipping to Ireland. I’ve bought so much for my little area.

Bringing this to the right thread.
It'll be no surprise when I say that if I was to break it down, for me Xbox shades it in almost all areas
However most important thing is I'm loving both and I'm playing much more just as a result of the QOL improvements which were a huge leap for me coming from base PS4/Xbox and not having a gaming PC.
Loving life.
And as I said yesterday, with Nintendo Switch absolutely killing it on the Sales front, all 3 companies are heading in different directions but all doing well.
It would have been fair to be concerned about both Xbox and even Nintendo's future after Xbone and Wii U launch. Gamings got even bigger this year and all 3 are ready to capitalize in big (but different) ways.
Wait for the Asus. The rest will follow after that.
@esmufc07 I don’t have a preference. Just play wherever. Both are very good boxes for the prices you pay especially compared to last time. But at the moment there’s not much to show them off besides loading times because publishers still want that PS4 money, so we going to be stuck with cross gen games for a while. So I hope both sort their stock issues out and get to a sales number, where publishers feel they can release games only on them.
Some of the games on Xbox like Gears and Forza look amazing, but I finished Gears 5 on a 2080 and the game looked stunning, so it wouldn’t wow me like it did to @Alock1. There’s a few minor issues with both consoles UI. I preferred the 360 dash to the Xbox and not sure about the PS5 dash when compared to PS4. I just don’t like that you have to go searching for upgrades on PS. Is there a faster way to access your friends list?
There’s a community option when you press the PS button which gives you access. If you press the options button when you’re on the menu list you can change a few of the options available to you. i prefer it just because it’s so much faster and snappier.
Xbox is definitely the better machine at this stage.
120 fps on Enhanced Xbox One titles.
Variable refresh rate.
Store Series S|X games on a hard drive.
No constant crashes.
Just more horsepower on CPU and GPU
Expandable storage
Edit - and no coil whine
Just a shame it doesnt have any games

The PS5 is the better next gen machine by some margin.
The Xbox is the better built machine by some margin.
Both are decent enough for now, it'll be when the next gen games truly start coming that we can really see the best of them.

Great post and I’m playing next gen games on it right now
Whatcha playin?
Shocking post. Next gen = “ooo the controller does a vibrate” to ps boyz.
AC and WZ with next gen textures and framerate
What would you know? You've still got 400gb left on the SDD. Casual gamer.
You got no interest in Gears mate?
Looks and plays amazing, and the multiplayer is class.
I know Gears isn't for everyone but if you haven't played it for a while it's well worth a shot
Both are suffering from crashes. Probably more reports on PS because there’s more people who own one. I haven’t had any problems, but I don’t use discs. So maybe it’s related to that.
Expandable storage on Xbox is a plus me. I don’t have to get the calculator out and choose what I can or can’t install.
If I was on a PS5 that would only be 200GB left
Yeah I’m gonna download it once I’ve finished AC. Although I might be on to Cyberpunk then.
Nah, downloaded games crash too. The Spiderman remaster is almost as bad as MM for it.
Having an M2 slot on the Xbox is a brilliant addition.
Not true, it uninstalls your games remember?
Those are next gen versions of current gen games.
trueYou wouldn’t even make it on PS because your Amazon driver would have nicked it.
Haven't had any crashes on the Spiderman Remaster. Don't think I've had any crashes except one or maybe 2 on the first day on PS5 to be fair. A few on Xbox but all COD and I'm pretty sure that game is the problem as it was the only game to crash on my One S too.
It's just that mine is loud as feck that's the problem but that's a my console problem.
So next gen games
That’s true I’d have 650GB left as it’d be empty
Was last of us remastered a next gen game for Sony? I don't count it as truly next gen. Truly next gen is TLOU2.
Do you have the same problem as those videos I posted?
How much have you played it? It might be a runtime thing, also she keeps leaving the bloody machine on standby which I think has a lot to do with it (and the power options).
Ours is only slightly louder than the Xbox. But as you've seen, it's in the open. Have you moved yours yet?
This is mine
Was there from day 1. Can get louder or quieter depending on what's open but it's there as soon as I turn the console on (from Off not Rest Mode) and sticks.
l
Yeah seems like the same problem as those videos.
https://www.gamespot.com/articles/s...-problem-and-fix-is-quite-silly/1100-6484720/
Not as bad as the person in the above link.
I tried it for an hour and it was exactly the same.
Played quite a bit of Spiderman. Done all the towers and backpacks.
There's a lot of rumour that rest mode, external HDDs and network transfers played a part so I've avoided all and not really had crash problems. Maybe coincidence.
Well no, from first party developers; Naughty Dog also released Uncharted 4 and the Lost Legacy, Guerilla Games released Kilzone Shadow Falla and HZD, Santa Monica Studio releases GOW and Sucker Punch productions released an Infamous Game, and Ghost of Tsushima.So we have to wait 7 years for a next gen game now?
That's not including first party published; Spider-Man PS4, Ratchet and Clank PS4, Bloodbourne, Iron-Man VR, The Order 1886
That's also not including Driveclub which I won't include as Sony shut that studio down.
PS4 has arguably been the best ever console for first party games. Maybe Vs the Wii?
But anyway,
The footage I’ve seen most multi plat games like Ass Creed are running better on PS5 and the new PS games put it about 10 years ahead of the Xbox already.
Xbox have done well in upgrading older games but up against what Sony are offering? nowhere near for me.
Maybe, but it's entirely possible. MM crashed quite regularly and the remaster has crashed twice on her today. I think it's highly likely to be teething issues related to the power options/standby.
As for your noise, that is very likely a lot to do with location. Not just the air flow, but also echoing around that wood and vibrating on the shelf will all amplify the noise. Have you tried it outside and upright to see if it's the same?
I was only joking.
PS4 was killer for exclusives for sure. It's that backwards compat combined with PS+ that is really compelling draw for those who missed them by being on Xbox.
But the Series X was stood upright in the same location, and the One S and PS4 were both played in the same compartment that the PS5 is in now (towards the end I had both in there together which obviously wasn't ideal)
This PS5 is louder than both those old consoles playing things like Warzone which push them hard, even when the PS5 is in rest mode.
The Series X in the same position is genuinely inaudible it's incredible.
Think I've just been unlucky with the specific console I got to be honest. Will see about getting a repair/replacement in a few months when things settle down.
