Ah yeah, I was expecting a little condensending comment from Danimal. Par for the course.
All good Dan.
I'm enjoying both consoles. If I had to pick one however that feels next gen, it's the PS5. It doesn't hurt that there are some great exclusives at launch. Astrobots really impressed me as I just finished it this morning. Kids will have blast with it.
The Xbox is built solidly and the game resume is an excellent feature. I love the controller. It's slightly smaller than the previous gen and I prefer it that way. Game Pass sells itself. I know I just have to be patient with regards to the game lineup. They've invested in so many new studios that it's bound to have an effect.
Just booted up the PS5 for the first time tonight.
I wasn’t expecting such a next gen “wow” experience, but that’s exactly what’s happening. Initial thoughts:
-Amazing controller. So comfortable and the haptic feedback will be great in all sorts of games for subtle things like bow tension, driving surfaces, etc.
-Very elegant UI and home screen. The sounds, the visual flourishes, the layout and clarity are all very next gen. I truly wasn’t expecting such an upgrade. I love how in your profile it shows the hours played of every game played under your PSN profile. Was neat to see past PS4 playtimes for the first time and like this feature moving forward.
-Preloading a game like Astrobot to showcase the system was a brilliant idea. It lets you enjoy the system within minutes of startup. Perfect for the digital age, when you may not have a disc on day 1. Mind you, Spider-Man loaded very fast after I purchased it. Everything is just super easy and fast.
After reading all of the positive reviews of Sackboy, Demon Souls, Morales and the assortment of sports games etc, I think this may actually be one of the best launch lineups I’ve encountered.
Can’t recommend it enough- Sony may have fumbled a lot of their pre-release strategy, but I think they’ve delivered a really great console.
