“Minute differences” is a bit absurd. It may have been a bit too long since you’ve booted up your PS4.

I stopped after the PS3wii360 but I have to say, the PS4 was legit garbage that took FOREVER to load and played like poo (hence why I stopped) but I gotta admit the base PS5 and Xbox whatever are FANTASTIC machines. The AMD video chips and SSDs make a heck of a difference.

PS3wii360

That's pronounced "pthwee sixty"

That’s really the key. The PS4 and even Pro were fighting for their lives by the end of the generation. Anyone who claims the upgrade to a PS5 was “minute” is lying to themselves about their ~~jet engine~~ PS4

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 week ago

Could not agree more. I left consoles for only computer and stopped caring about exclusives, and even my bitch ass recognizes the PS5 as amazing. The PS4 was horrible though. You’re totally right.

Seriously why does a PS4 sound like a jet engine even when no game is loaded?

[–] _sideffect@lemmy.world -1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

We gained ssd drives sure, I agree that's a great improvement.

But 4k30 still feels like a minute upgrade as it's not native 4k.

Forget about the stated 8k on the PS5 box, lol.

What else did we gain... Less battery life for the controller (but the haptics are great).

More thumbstick drift.

Maybe, 8 exclusives? 12?

Not worth it to me.

Yes besides all of the brand new hardware that improved load times dramatically and can reliably play games at 60fps without blowing out your eardrums due to fan noise, the best new controller to hit the market since the first rumble pak, and all the new games to play on it, it didn't improve much… lol

You better settle in bucko because I have some bad news, it only gets more incremental from here.

Lmao, you're a Sony fan boy aren't you?

[–] EncryptKeeper@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Nah, just a guy who has actually used both consoles and understands the state of Compute today.

[–] _sideffect@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Alright, you do you. I'm not happy with Sony's approach, so I won't be buying any of their new products.

(Unless they make a Vita 2 that is actually priced well for the specs)
