Console wars: PS5 vs Xbox Series X

(1/9) > >>

neXus:
Finally,
Console wars are back on. Let's be 15/16 year old fan boys again.


Xbox has to really show some games off and both have to reveal the price but what is your take now Sony has finally revealed a bit more?


For me..


- I think Microsoft will come out cheaper based on the chatter
- Microsoft have really made a big effort to try and jump ahead with everything anyone would want. This gen they have half the sales of Playstation and got beat by the switch too!
- Microsoft's online and backward compatibility options look a lot stronger with older games even getting things like HDR through machine learning
- Sony has clearly put some work in reducing latency throughput with their SSD as well as the SSD but both consoles have and I think prefer Xbox as it seems there were clear engineering decisions and not driven by anything else.

Clock'd 0Ne:
HDR retrospectively added will be trashy I reckon. Its already used poorly in a lot of cases where its not been factored in from the start.

PS5 is still backwards compatible with PS4, I'm not sure what else you could want?

The consistent issue with Xbox is that it's really just another PC and everything will therefore be available to PC, the only reason Microsoft hold ground is because Xbox Live Game Pass & Gold are such stunning offerings, and PS4 hardware has been janky sh*te.

For the casual console player that owns a PC and Xbox One X already, PS5 seems like a no-brainer given the volume of exclusives. If you've watched the full PS5 tech demo for devs you'll see they've got a good chance of smashing it out of the park this time vs MS too. I I'm not sure what the situation is with the drive, is it for 4k films too? I expect I will need to buy the version with 4k BD drive included for backwards compatible games in any case.

Current known PS5 exclusives, there's four there I've highlighted that I'd be interested in right away:


* Deathloop
* Kena: Bridge of the Spirits
* Astro's Playroom
* Demon's Souls Remake
* Destruction All Stars
* Godfall
* Goodbye Volcano High
* Gran Turismo 7
* Horizon: Forbidden West
* Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales
* Project Athia (Working Title)
* Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart
* Returnal
* Sackboy: A Big Adventure

Stray looks interesting too, I wonder if that will make the exclusives list.

I've literally just upgraded to a One X.  None of the PS4 exclusive games were of any interest to me, and I never got on with the pad design.
Had a PS3, and only got it for Gran Turismo, but Prologue was the better game.  When the full game came out it was a step backwards.  Forza wiped the floor with it.
All the mates I play with have Xbox, so it was a no brainer for me.

I'll not be picking up a PS5.  Or a Series X really as I don't want to upgrade my TV to get the best out of it.

Forza bores me, I'm not sure what it is about it but it just doesn't feel right. Horizon 3 was fun but 4 was garbage, Motorsport 7 was meh. :dunno:

I've gone back to playing GT1 and 2 on the Playstation Classic, they seem better than the modern Gran Turismo's for me.
Project Cars and Assetto Corsa are good for proper proper simulations.
