yeah man, i'm one of the lucky ones who got a ps5 just in time for the release. here are a few words after i tested it a bit over the weekend.
I don't think you have to say much about the look of the ps5. The design is a matter of taste and will not satisfy everyone. But the console is already huge and will not fit in every compartment of a cupboard. Here you should measure before the purchase.
Since there were no next gen games available for release that interested me, i had to make do with the tech demo and the PS+ titles. The audio- haptic feedback of the controller is a great feature that will play a big role in future games. For example, you can feel the different surfaces on which you are walking with the character.
The resistances of the shoulder keys adapt to the game, which will certainly play a major role in shooters later on also the rumble features of the controller provide more immersion.
I personally don't like the motion control (tilt controller as command input) this already annoyed me on the ps3.
The controller lies very well in the hand but i dislike the pressure point of the 4 main keys. They feel as if they have been used millions of times.
The console is much quieter than its predecessors and i haven't noticed any disturbing noises. I also could not detect any heat development, this will only become apparent when the right performance is required.
Contrary to earlier messages the sound format Dolby Atmos is supported, at least with Blurays (here you have to switch to "Bitstream Dolby" in the settings. But Dolby Vision is not used at all.
About the performance itself, I can't say anything, I'm not an expert and I don't want to presume a comparison to the XBox Series X.
In my opinion, the exclusive games will decide which console sells so much better. In my opinion, the PS5 still has the advantage (Horizons 2 for example). However, the purchase of Bethesta by Microsoft could become a gamechanger, that will certainly take a few more
years.
