It’s being delivered tomorrow! After hm’ing and haw’ing about it last week I realized I’ve spent hardly any money as of late and the pandemic isn’t going anywhere, so I might as well treat myself.
I will share some thoughts tomorrow/Tuesday!
For anyone who was curious about some random HFJets fans’ review of the PS5:
I’ve had the console for a week now and admittedly have stuck to only a few games. Played through Astro’s Playroom, essentially a demo for the new DualSense controller/homage to previous generations of PlayStation. Very fun and really gives a sense of what can be accomplished with the controller. The rumble in the DualSense is so strong yet precise. Without feeling it in your hands it’s tough to articulate, but here’s a couple of scenarios. 1) Walking through grass creates a tickling sensation on the hands 2) walking on metal/glass makes a more precise TING with each step 3) triggers have really nice resistance, and would differ in tension for things like shooting a gun, accelerating a car, or using a rocket.
Games and fast-travels are crazy quick. I played through Spider-Man: Miles Morales over the weekend and was astounded how quickly it could populate an area on the other side of NYC. I’m talking 6 seconds, maybe? Gone are the days of waiting on a loading screen cycling through useless “tips” or checking emails on your phone.
There will be some getting used to regarding the UI - takes far too many buttons to put the console into rest mode - but there’s also some big improvements. Both the PlayStation store and trophies menus take no time at all to open, which is a major upgrade from last gen.
Feel free to ask any questions if you’re interested!
Free delivery over 35 bucks too .
I can't believe how fast that was, i just ordered yesterday.
