The PlayStation 5 Review

Join us as we step into the next generation of consoles with the Game Informer PlayStation 5 review!

The new generation is upon us, and Sony has come out swinging with an incredibly powerful new console to stake its claim on the gaming landscape. The PlayStation 5 offers up blazing speed and some remarkable audio and visual technology. The new console also brings the most exciting innovation in controllers in many years with the excellent DualSense. While not everything is perfect, our weeks with the PlayStation 5 have revealed a worthwhile successor to the legacy of the brand, and an experience that has the potential to change the game for both developers and players.

There's only one thing I need to know: When will PS5 consoles become abundant that I won't have to worry about long load times (on the store websites) or E-Bay scalpers?

[dadsbelt]

I can’t wait to get my hands on this! I’ve been looking forward to this console ever since they announced “haptic feedback”

[TheSpectre]

Let’s be honest. Yes the ps5 looks very different. But it’s got something about that makes it look high tech asf

I am interested to see when they do incorporate the new dlss technology that AMD and Sony are working together on. Can't wait for this console and demon souls!

[Datalinks_]

I hope they make a smaller one in two years time.

[HaiDanDan]

Looking at these reviews as if I didn’t already preorder it and am beyond excited for it!

[Huddison]

It seems to be everything a *Next Gen* console should be!

[Damon_Dynamic]

What a bullshit review, they gave Xbox a B+ but its more powerful, has more storage space and overall performed better. But they wanna shit on it cause of the Series S low specs and performance. Whatever though im over all this fanboy console war shit. They just gonna keep on doing Xbox wrong, but im getting a Series X cause its the superior console

BT Headsets add significant latency when playing. It's not a good experience so it's not Sony not getting with the times, it's them acknowledging that BT headsets just are not ready. BT5.2 is supposed to have a new audio codec that should reduce latency, but there aren't really any devices that use that yet.

Review aside, why do YouTubers or channels like this insist upon having loud ass hip hop music in the background? It’s really annoying, I’m just trying to hear what you’re saying.
