The next generation of consoles is here, the PS5 is Sony's next-generation console. <\/span><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
First impressions of the PS5 while unboxing and moving the box is the sheer weight of the PS5, it's a heavy console (Blu-Ray version) weighing in at 4.5kg (9.9 lbs) and the digital version comes in at 3.9kg (8.6lb). The contents of the PS5 box is minimal with a console, a power lead, controller and HDMI included. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
As I unboxed the console, two things were very striking, the console design and the controller design. The console is an impressive unit and is huge but the sleek design. It's the main unit is a black glossy plastic that has vents at the back for cooling and air circulation, this is offset by two white plates that have the Playstation symbols embossed on the inside. The final piece is a stand that allows for the PS5 to be used in standing or on its side. The design isn't uniform as the unit goes from a thin base to widening top when standing up with the white plates diverging at the top. The design is reminiscent of a building design as opposed to a console, it looks like a building that has been made into a console. The console isn't one for being hidden in a TV stand, I think it's been purposely designed to stand with the use of the white plates to make it stand out. AV equipment is generally black so this will contrast whatever AV equipment you have. Another thing to note is that you may find it to be a tight fit in your TV stand as it's big and wide. Despite the sheer size, the two-tone colour design, I'm growing to like this big impressive piece of tech. I'm still coming to terms on how massive it is. I assume Sony went for the statement piece of art in your living room\/bedroom should be a PS5. Hidden in the front of the main console unit is a 3 USB-A, USB-C port, ethernet port, WIFI, eject (BLU-Ray) version and power button. The power button and eject button aren't the same sizes so no more turning the console off by mistake.
<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The next piece of kit you will want to get your hands on is the new PS5 dualsense controller. It has the same two-tone effect going on, the controller is slightly longer and slightly heavier than the PS4 controllers. It has a translucent d-pad and buttons, built-in mic, speaker, touchpad with RGB lighting, motion feedback, create button, options button, two dual shock controllers, longer L2 and R2 triggers with extra haptic feedback. A huge emphasis has been placed on the controller as being the next part of innovation for the PS5. The additional haptic feedback in the triggers that allow for touch-sensitive use of the controller means that this will allow for gamers and developers to use it. I will delve into the additional haptic feedback as part of reviews of the games. The charging port is a USB-C.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
How does the new tech fair up in the gameplay experience? Once I started the console, the sheer speed and quickness of every element of the console are impressive. The game boot times are drastically reduced and once the games started the loads are dramatically reduced. The console from boot to login is about 20 seconds and then seamless when logged in. To load Spider-Man: Miles Morales approx 15 seconds and very little noticeable load times. The console is a pure joy to play, the quickness and general responsiveness is what makes the PS5 a winner. The controller and extra haptic feedback make the whole experience more immersive and just consume you in the game. Sony has delivered on the next generation aspects of speed, design and the next era of gaming consoles. The next-generation games will take some more time to be developed and released but the speed and architectural improvements make this console a worthy purchase. The SSD, the 4K gaming and overall improvements are visible within seconds of turning the console on. Sound is clear and even more vibrant, all in all, the console is very impressive. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The new PS5 dualsense controller and Astro's Playroom go hand in hand, Astro's Playroom is an extended demo for the new dualsense PS5 controller. It highlights the haptics, adaptive triggers, the built-in microphone and what we can expect from developers in the future when building games for the PS5. Astro's Playroom is an impressive game in its own right too.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The dualsense comes in two-tone colour, it's slightly bigger and longer than the PS4 controller thought fits in your hand better and provides a better feel in the hand. The button layout is identical on both controllers apart from the addition of a mute button below the PS button on the PS5 controller.The next generation aspects of the controller are new haptic feedback and adaptive triggers. These elements are showcased in the wonderfully colourful and free game Astro's Playroom developed by ASOBI Team which is a 3D puzzle\/platformer which takes a trip down nostalgia lane. The key theme of Astro's Playroom is the evolution of the Playstation which underpins all the level design, puzzles and collectables.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The entire game is to showcase the unique PS5 dualsense controller. Almost immediately, the haptic feedback and sense of what the controller has to offer is evident. The haptic feedback kicks in as you wade through water, sand, mud, grass and jungles. Each terrain gives the player a different sensation and it's surprisingly immersive. You can feel the resistance and differing levels of friction in each section of every level. The next big feature being touted is the adaptive triggers, the adaptive triggers are pressure sensitive. The varying degree of force you use on the triggers will mean the character in-game will expend the equivalent force. The adaptive triggers provide similar feedback when a character is pushing or pulling an item in the game, the triggers provide resistance back too. Again, this may seem like a minor thing but the feel and sensation are immersive and adds another layer to the gaming experience. In elements of Astro's Playroom, you do feel as if you are pulling items off the floor. The in-game tutorial describes what each control does and how to use it, it is usually followed by a gaming section where you get to explore these new controls.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The dualsense features a touchpad with RGB LEDs around it, the touchpad feels more responsive and the lights add another feature to the impressive array of features. The controller is charged via USB-C port and has a bigger built-in battery for the extra features of the dualsense. I was charging the controller every 2 days or so but you don't need to buy extra batteries which is a plus. The controller has a big built-in mic and a speaker as well, the dualsense has a 3.5mm port for mics too.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
If you take Astro's Playroom as a stand-alone game without it being a vehicle to show off the dualsense controller. It's a fun, innovative and creative platform that has moments where it's tough and challenging. The level design is superb and the multi-faceted gameplay, changing form and the ability to become different creatures is cool. It has a big brash and bright colours too. The sound from the game is superb, it also shows that PS5 has an upgrade in audio quality. Astro's Playroom is quite the platformer, it's varied and engaging which I wasn't expecting but I was more than pleasantly surprised. If you are a fan of platformers and puzzle games, you will enjoy this.<\/span><\/p>\n[gallery ids=\"205613,205617,205616,205615,205614\"]<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It will be interesting to see how developers will use the controller in future games but the future looks promising. The dualsense is a real innovation and next-gen.<\/span><\/p>\nBest of all Astro's Playroom comes preinstalled with the PS5 for free.<\/span><\/p>\nPS5 review unit supplied by Sony.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\n\n
