Personalized, latest and breaking news
After more than a year of news, social media hype and online fanaticism, Sony’s latest mainline home game console, the PlayStation 5, appeared, which is expected to improve performance and have some exquisite new technologies built-in.
This is our review of Sony PlayStation 5.
The PlayStation 5 hit a fist inside the hood, with a theoretical performance of 10.23 teraflops. Its core is AMD designed APU (Accelerated Processing Unit) with 8 Zen 2 cores and 16 threads running at a peak frequency of 3.5 GHz, while the GPU is a custom RDNA2 implementation with 36 CUs running at the peak frequency . 2.23 GHz.
The console has 16 GB of GDDR6 SDRAM (Graphics Double Data Rate 6 Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory), with a total bandwidth of 448 GB/s. The main storage is an internal solid-state drive (solid-state drive), which is soldered on the motherboard and has a capacity of 825 GB.
APU is cooled by liquid metal, and its heat transfer efficiency is higher than most thermal paste compounds. However, the specific liquid metal used here is unknown.
The console supports up to 8K output resolution, and supports 4K / 120 FPS (frames per second) output via HDMI 2.1.
Unlike the PlayStation 4 (packed in a thick cardboard box), the PS5 is packaged in sleeves, and the actual box contains the game console and its accessories. The sleeve packaging has all the usual details: the design of the console, storage space, warnings to the user, etc. However, it is a bit fragile, with only a few tapes to close it.
Inside the box is the console itself, and there is a separate box for storing accessories, such as power cords, high-speed HDMI 2.1 cables, and cords for charging the DualSense controller, all of which are well covered in protective packaging. It also has a console stand, so users can keep it in a vertical or horizontal orientation.
The console is very similar to the previous PlayStation console, with a fundamental change in design. Unlike the PS4, the aesthetics of the PS4 looks like a mixture of business and gamers, while the PS5 has a strictly gamer-oriented appearance, with its dual-tone design and extraordinary size.
The console has LEDs to display the status of the device (such as PS4), but unlike PS4, it looks more subtle and highlights the appearance of the console while performing actual functions.
There are two USB ports on the front of the console, one type A and one type C, as well as power and eject buttons (the digital version does not have an eject button, but it is the same as the disc version we received). There is a Blu-ray drive on the right side of the console (or bottom, if you place it horizontally).
On the rear (also one of the largest exhaust arrays on the console), there is a standard I/O array, including two high-speed USB Type-A ports, an HDMI output and a LAN suitable for those who like Ethernet The slot is via Wi-Fi. The device is powered by an internal power source, which is connected to an 8-bit digital power connector. There is also a Kensington lock on the top.
At least on paper, the controller looks like PS4’s DualShock 4 with the same buttons and layout, except for the redesigned touchpad, but please don’t let it fool you. There are also many new technologies in it.
Compared with PS4, the process of setting up PS5 feels somewhat simplified. After connecting the power and HDMI ports to a compatible socket, the console will ask you to connect the controller with a power cord. From there, just select the language, network connection, rest mode power settings, download any software updates for the console and controller, log in to PSN (optional), and transfer data from PS4 to PS5 (okay). Elective).
After setting, you can directly enter the UI.
The PS5's UI looks like it is designed to pop out of the screen because it does just that. Unlike the PS4 UI that looks bland and slow, the PS5 UI is more lively in appearance and performance.
One of the biggest changes in the PS5 UI is the "card" and "activity" features. These features allow users to track news from game developers, view screenshots and video screenshots, and even track their progress in the game and get targeted They could not complete the drill.
PS5 OS also integrates the PlayStation Store into the main UI, instead of using it as a dedicated application, so just type it on the main screen and tap "X" to easily enter it. It has also been redesigned on PS5 to look cleaner and more flexible.
No matter what resolution your monitor can output, the UI will run in native 4K.
We do have a complaint about the PS5's operating system, that is, it makes the choice between the visual quality mode and performance mode of the game much more difficult than originally necessary.
In terms of games, PlayStation 5 is definitely a monster. We received a copy of Demon's Souls to review the game console. The game console has almost no problems when rendered in pure natural 4K, with light quality, particle effects and texture resolution, which is simply impossible to achieve on PS4. It feels more attractive, more enjoyable, and makes us want more.
Although the resolution of the game and its frame rate will vary from game to game, "Demon Soul" provides in-game movie and performance quality settings: the movie runs at 30 FPS 4K speed, and the performance mode is at Run at 1080P or 60 FPS. Display on a full HD monitor or display dynamic 4K on a 4K monitor.
According to Sony, the console also supports the performance and/or image quality enhancements of certain PS4 games, but we are unable to test them.
PS4 and Xbox One are hindered by many factors: weak CPU. However, for many users, the hard drive is a source of grief, and even using SSD to switch hard drives may not provide much help. However, the PS5 comes with SSD, and it is very popular.
It has a theoretical basic performance of 5.5 GB/s and comes with hardware to ensure that bandwidth is not wasted; it leaves the previous generation of game consoles in the dust. Loading the game for the first time or reloading the game level on PS4 may take more than a minute, depending on the game, but it only took a few seconds to launch our copy of Demon Souls, and reloading it may only take It took 5 to 6 seconds. After any death.
Sony also promises to revolutionize game design through SSDs, but this can only be seen when game developers build engines around console designs to take advantage of the absurd speeds provided by their SSDs.
DualShock 4 has the usual rumble from previous controllers that provide a sense of responsiveness, but DualSense belongs to its own league.
It uses a new tactile realization method to achieve higher engagement and precision, as well as an actuator used to trigger the button, which allows an impressive use of resistance and strong total force feedback, allowing the controller to simulate The object the character walks on and provides resistance in motion, such as pulling a bowstring.
The console has a demo game that allows users to experience all the things DualSense can do: Astro's Playroom. To say the least, the experience of playing games is unreal: walking on ice is like walking on an ice rink, swimming in water is like swimming in a pool, and motion sensors make sofa activities much more physical.
The best part about Astro's Playroom is that although it is a demo of DualSense, it is actually a very interesting game that uses puzzles and platforms intelligently to provide a wholesome experience, unlike high-quality AAA games.
PS5 is impressive hardware and software, yes, but there are drawbacks to everything-especially in this case.
On the one hand, the console is absolutely huge. PS4 is not a very stylish packaging, but at least it feels like an improvement to the huge PS3, and the physical size of the PS5 has returned to the PS3 era.
The weight of the CD version is 4.5 kg, which is incredible. Obviously, you will not drag a LAN party casually. The disassembly reveals the reason for this. It is a huge radiator and a larger fan to cool the high-frequency APU in the center of the console, but it is still difficult to digest.
There are also supply issues, although it does not entirely depend on Sony. People all over the world consume electronic products faster than foundries launch chips. Therefore, supply shortages are expected to last for several months. This is not an attempt by the scalpers to increase the selling price of each PS5 to twice the market price. .
The console also supports expandable storage via an M.2 drive, but Sony has not yet enabled it, so users can only use 667 GB of available storage space. The console currently does not support native 1440p rendering.
The price tag of 50,000 rupees for the physical version combined with the higher game price feels a bit high for the entry point. If Sony implements regionally sensitive pricing in India, then Sony may do better because its average salary is lower compared to the US or the EU.
Although the console has no shortage of games, no matter whether it is a native PS5 game or a PS4 backward compatibility library, the ultimate killer application is currently lacking, and games such as "God of War", "Horizon" and "Gran Turismo" have a long way to go. For a while, but this is not an easy task for those who buy exclusive game consoles.
Even in the early days, the performance of PlayStation 5 was excellent. It is a fast, lively and unlimited monster. As developers adjust the tool to make better use of its features, it may get better, and despite some shortcomings, if you can buy some existing stocks, we can safely recommend that you buy one.
