I recently started playing Playstation 5 consistently again, and I may have been wrong about it all along. Thank you for watching, leave a like would you kindly? #ps5 #playstation5 #playstation
New game console generations don’t have the same massive improvements now that we have reached our current limits. Improvements now are very small, and some even superficial. We’ll never see another transition in improvements like we did from the PS2 to the PS3. To do this, we would have to have 15-20 year gaps between console generations. Gaming isn’t as much in its infancy like it was years ago. We’ve pretty much done everything and are just borrowing on old ideas. It’s to the point now where graphically the changes are so small they don’t matter and we are more interested in frame rate performance. It’s all about FPS now, going back that didn’t matter, we wanted visual improvements because there was still a lot of room for improvement. The golden age of gaming is over. It will never be what it once was.
This exactly. We’ve reached a point of diminishing returns in gaming. The jump from PS2 to PS3 was insane at the time. The only thing that would be comparable at this point would be Ready Player One levels of VR in my opinion.
They need to start putting sports titles out for 3 years cuz everybody plays on the internet. Anyway, just updated and stop milking every year sport games
I think there will be a big leap forward, having 60 fps full path tracing etc. But if they force 8k on us first the performance will again suffer. I like 60 fps because I can’t stand judder, running in quality mode is terrible for me.
@@murray821 Game developers know the majority of game buyer are casual gamers not hard core gamers . They know these games have to play on sub $1000 platforms , not just the minority with $2000+ PC.
My bro has a ps5 and the console is incredible. Lately I have been nostalgiac about old PlayStation exclusive games. Like god of war, uncharted, ratchet and Clank. Jak and Daxter. Gran Turismo and much more. I really do miss the PS3 era. Great times.
games never age (badly to some), but you just named all old games, for old consoles. I understand the quality is better, but where are the new games??? 😢😢
Dayum I feel yah. Even my buddy still has ps4 while I have ps5 we played Cold war zombies together here n there it was fun. I miss the gold era of gaming though. Where every game that got released for 360 or PS3 they were completely optimized and very well developed then now a day's 😂. I still play game but these new Game's won't top out OG game's
I have a combined income of £91k with less than 1k a month in bills and food . my friend has a ps5 is on univeral credit struggling to pay electric (brokeness has nothing to do with my situation)@@jamesfranko1568
One of the my most enjoyable games of the past was Bully on PS2. Very underrated. Still play it with the kids today and they luv it. Keep up the great contact. 👌👍
My PS5 hasn't been running for a year.. My Xbox series X is nearly pristine in its box (RIP).. My Switch is running so much I wonder how its still alive.
@@Alien_isolationist 🤦💩 🥴Sucks you had to sell your collection I still have my collection and Ah Ps5 in my possession 🤣🤣🤣🥳 What Ah Time To Be Alive Free Da men Long live All the men Who Can't possessed these Wonderful creations💯🥷🖤🚀
Best part of the PS5 for me was the controller. I just love the features and think it's one of their best controllers so far. Still play my PS3 more haha.
@mrlopez7173 Currently working on two projects right now (360 & PS2)! Hoping to have the 360 one out by this time next week, than the PS2 by the end of the month. I really want to improve my style and content while giving myself more time. My last video took like 60 hours to complete. So it's a process but I'm determined to see it through!
Dude your channel is going to be big one day! You crack me up and who doesn’t love the nostalgia that comes back when I watch you videos. Keep up the good work!
Just stumbled across your channel (probably b/c the FBI man in my phone overheard me thinking about wanting to get a PS5 pro 😂) great video brother. I’m with you though, you’re 100% correct on COD. I’m 36 and while I’m not that old in the grand scheme of things…(shit, maybe I am. 🤔) I just don’t have it anymore. My son is 13 and murders me. This is coming from a guy who has a few 100+ kill games and spent 1,000’s of hours from the OG COD 4 Modern Warfare all the way up to..COD Modern Warfare 😂. Going to sound old here but “back in my day” there was no such thing as SBMM & Lag Compensation not until more recently and it completely turned me off.
Great channel. Just happened upon it and subbed. Always great to see another Canadian making gaming content! I haven't purchased a PS5 yet. The exclusive games are just not there in the way I need them to be. In fact, there isn't a game yet that has been released that I want to play, but can't get on the PS4. Also, I just feel I haven't gotten enough out of my PS4 yet. I still play my PS2 and PS3. The PS3 is likely my favourite console of all time, with the PS2 a runner up.
155 ps4 games have the free 4k/60fps patch for the Ps5, is worth it. Playing my ps4 disc of (Mass Effect Legendary Edition) at 4k/60fps with fast ssd load times over my Ps4 at 1080p/30fps with slow load screen times is a big difference .
Hopefully if you have PS Plus, you have been adding those monthly 'free' PS5 games they offer. I wasn't able to get a PS5 during its first 2 years ( I was not going to pay a scalper, and had plenty of games in the PS4 back log). When I finally was able to purchase a PS5, I had a whole library of games waiting for it. Sure they weren't the latest titles and some were released on other platforms, most were still new to me.
@@lazarushernandez5827 The Ps5 plays all 3,454 Ps4 game titles ever made. Even if the Ps4 disc game does not have the free 4k/60fps patch it still will be better. The Ps5 will load games faster ,Fast Travel and respawn times and never drop out of the games locked 30fps. All those Ps4 games end up in a used bargain bin at a pawnshop sooner or later.
My PS3 is running GT5 4 hour endurance Nurburgring. I like to find rare used cars and mod them to compete with the Amuse S2000 GT turbo and R8 LM race car. I glance at the races while I do other stuff like cleaning or reading.
I love my PS5. It feels premium, and I mean using it. The UI is fast, fluid, high definition and easy to get around. I have a Series S and I never understand anyone who says the UI there is better. It looks crap, cluttered, the “customisation” really is basic as hell. It feels pieced together by tape, in terms of performance as well. You can often end up in weird circles of UI traversal and completely lose where you are. Features like resuming multiple games works.. until it randomly doesn’t. PS5 just feels like a solid reliable device to use in a way the Series console just doesn’t to me. Then the controller. The Series controller is terrible. Every button clicks, the sticks clack away… it’s honestly so distracting and feels cheap and plasticky where the dual sense is solid, premium, quiet, feels great to use. That’s before even discussing rumble/haptics. A gimmick…? I guess, but in many games it just adds something that you immediately notice is lacking on the Series controller. Then I upgraded my internal SSD to 2TB for about £120, very simple to install compared to the proprietary nonsense they did with the Series consoles. Yeah, it’s no contest to me.
Got the premium a few months ago and I've never played so much games in my life, it's a golden age of gaming. I'm playing the f out of my PS5. It's awesome.
3:56 this comment right here buddy…man I could not relate more…approaching 30 and having the PS5 from launch back in 2020 and I hate to say it but I feel underwhelmed overall by the console. Maybe that’s just me getting older but idk what anything is worth anymore. Gaming trends going into 2024 make me pause at this passion I’ve had of mine for forever…

My problem with PlayStation plus is I have a subscription but end up wasting it because I don’t play the games, even some on my wishlist are on there, and I don’t even install them. I know it’s on me, but I do suffer from choice paralysis, and the hunt for more games is more exciting than actually owning and playing them. They end up on the pile of, “must play it some day”
The console has been out for 4 years, but I feel like it's only been readily available for the last year and a half. I still don't own one, because my Series X takes care of my gaming itch. I want a PS5, don't get it twisted, but it's not a pressing want for me.
These all consoles my favorite and i like PS1 since 1998 when first i played it. and i was little that time. but as the years past i didn't played much games from these because of struggle in life. but i written my favorite games list now what i have missed in the passed but now its good time to finish them all this time. PS5. 2020 i was 35 PS4. 2013 i was 28 PS3. 2006 i was 21 PS2. 2000 i was 15 PS1. 1994 i was 9 “I have a great curiosity to see new things, but not to own them. It’s very peaceful this way, and one of the nice things about getting older.” - Lee Radziwill
Man have you ever played any of the Resistance games? 3 is on premium, and its mostly seperate from the other games. Really good story and a forgotten gem imo
Resistance 3 was awesome. The best shooter on the PS3. I love how the game let you carry all your guns at the same time. Just like DOOM and all the classic boomer shooters. It's so lame when shooters only let you carry two or three guns at the same time.
I still use my ps4 pro , my ps5 has hardly had any use . For the past 2 years I have been buying ps4 games in sales so have not even started my ps5 games. The price increase in games is the main reason why I have not really looked at this gen games. Plus my backlog is so big now I do not need to spend £70 on another game, I have to start playing these things I have been collecting.
@sk84lyfe1211 I use the ps4 for the less demanding and retro stuff to save wear and use on the ps5. It's still a good machine to have set up. I put a ssd in it a few years ago and use it on a 4k gaming monitor with the 4k gamer Pro, it look close to what the ps5 does with ps4 games.
@@CORNERSTONECITY777 Coment on man! since u have enough spare money to get an ssd for ur ps4 you don't need to worry about your ps5 wear and tear these things are really built to last I've put at least 10k hours of play time on my ps4 and at least 4k hours on ps5 btw both bought from lunch day and they both still run flawlessly
I've been a psy guy from the ps2 days. My library has over 500 games. Recently I've seen all my mates see their xboxs and act like day 1 playstation fans. Its fricking hilarious. Ps. The ps5 is my favourite console ever
I have premium too and I make my yearly money outlay back every month just with the freebies that's not to mention all the ps3 psp, remasters and the games in rotation.
This is how I felt when I got premium a couple months ago. PS5 games are amazing and even some ps4 games look incredible on the ps5. Just like you I now find myself downloading like a madman and plowing through so many amazing games on the ps5 . I love this machine.
I love my ps5, it is my main console, I have a series s and I love that also, but I always used my Xbox as my Multi-player console and my ps as my single player console, like you I have no time for Multi-player anymore, I've always enjoyed single player more anyways. You have to look at these subscriptions in the way as if you'd spend that much on the games that you buy that you can play on the subscription and yes you do, I only do extra and I have gamepass and say you buy 2 games at launch for $70 which comes out to $140 and they come out on your subscriptions also, you've already saved your money with the countless other games you can play with the subscription
Going to the arcade back in the day used to cost $50-$100/week and you got maybe 5 mins of play per dollar… so maybe 4-8 hours of game time total… and you don’t get to own the game in the end, but you get those lame prizes like stale gum and a used hammer
I had a PS4 Pro. It was still going strong and I had no plans on upgrading until one day it just bricked on me. In the car 10 minutes later on the way to Walmart lol. Now that I have a PS5 I'm a little ashamed I waited as long as I did. I also have a gaming PC laptop which is pretty nice and can handle just about every game but I always go back to my PS5
There have been a lot of talk lately about the lack of games on the PS5, but personally, a slow-down in releases is very welcome. There are still titles from the previous generations I want to spend more time with, and even the previous generation before that!
@@Cricis11700 To catch up on stuff we want to play. How many people have "backlogs" of games? Sounds like a slowdown is very welcome for most of us. Your wallet will thank you too.
@@ogre706 that's a smart way of looking at it, I don't really have a budget when it comes to video games so I can buy whatever whenever, I'm mostly into old-school PS2 games and original Xbox I cant get into these new games they're garbage to me man.
I'm thankful for the slowdown. As a parent your time goes directly to your kids. I have many backlog games I want to play, so my patience for the next big Sony first party is high. They can take as long as they need. I have a lot to catch up on lol and a lot I want to replay as well.
Been with Xbox since day one. My son has an Xbox and this past Christmas I decided what the heck let me get him a PS five. I was playing it it was cool at first because of the Spider-Man was such an amazing game and I realize they don’t have the Game Pass library like Microsoft that PlayStation just sits there right now and doesn’t get played. I’m not impressed with PlayStation plus or anything they have to offer other than the Spider-Man game
The PS5 has more than I think the fan base gives it credit for, but I think the impatience for new, shiny content is hitting us now in pitch fever. Sony went all in on major (or “AAA”) title development and we’re stuck waiting on what these games even are! In other words, we’re left wanting just a peek at all the games they’re cooking and Sony is telling us NAH. So it could be another year where we don’t get any new first party content apart from Concord, which we also don’t know much about. Really weird gen… That said, good video :) you made me want to play Returnal again, a gem of a game and my favourite so far for the system.
Because they have product to sell you now, including Ragnorak, Horizon II & Spiderman 2. They also want to sell FF7 Rebirth & Rise of the Ronin. Once those drop, we likely will get the release dates of Silent Hill & Stellar Blade, both revealed for 2024. Once we get March out the way we will be fed more. People with an Xbox play Halo, Starfield, cartoons, & don't know what they're talking about.
While waiting you can replay the 155 ps4 games that have the free ps5 patch. Ever play a Ps4 disc of Mass Effect 1,2 and 3 or witcher 3 at 4k/60fps? It's like a total new game .
Let's assume that the PS6 won't be released until 2027 or 2028 and a person has a disc model PS5. If this person consistently pays for PS Plus premium starting right now (Jan 2023) in the US for its cheapest offer, which is technically $160 per year, by the time 2027 arrives they would have paid at least $480 for this service, or by the time 2028 arrives they would have paid $640 for the service. It is doubtful that any person with PS Plus premium will have the time and even the patience to play and beat even 25% of the games offered on the service, so does it make sense to be subscribed to such an overpriced subscription? Nah. It's usually just better to use the possible $480 or $640 that would've been spent on PS Plus premium to buy and own some prefer-to-play titles instead. Aim for games that are physical disc copies that are in good condition but also fairly and inexpensively priced from reliable websites or local stores. That's really the best way to go if you have a disc version console.
The 155 ps4 games have the free 4k/60fps patch for the Ps5, is worth it. Playing my ps4 disc of (Mass Effect Legendary Edition) at 4k/60fps with fast ssd load times over my Ps4 at 1080p/30fps with slow load screen times is a big difference .
As a casual gamer I think games still has a lot it can do to get better. Is it possible is entirely up to father time and the big brains who are going to make that leap. I am talking about things like NPC characters having more life in their dialogues and movements, everything is still robotic but it is way better than what was done 10-15 years ago. This leap along with more realistic motion captures is when that major difference is felt. I don't subscribe to the notion that there is a diminishing rate of return as of yet given there is still some big strides that can be done to make gaming more cool.
Like hell. $700 is a 3060 tops. I don't count build your own. A Ps5 would be $250 if Sony shipped them in parts and told the buyer to put it together themselves.
Bro are you paid by Sony? You're in every single console video. You're eat up. And what?? 700 dollars is a 3060 TOPS? A 4070 is 599 on best buy right now. What an idiot.@@Crashed131963
My Series X is my go to console; however, I've started playing PS3 games again and my PS4. My PS5 is sitting mint in a cupboard, but I will probably play Ratchet & Clank soon. Simply, there are a too many great games to play across new and retro consoles that could take up 100 human lifetimes. So, play what you want and enjoy being a gamer.
I'll say that I stupidly got an xbox one and skipped the ps4. Only because at the time no ps4's were about. I got the ps5 and now I'm playing all the ps4 games 😂
Same bro had a PS4 for a few months and went back to Xbox bc all my friends did brought a PS5 and I’ve got so many games to play haven’t touched my series X in about 5 months
There's a reason it sold 50 million consoles in 3 years. PS5 will hands down be the best selling console of all time by 2030. PS4 has games still coming 11 years in so life cycle isn't near half. It's a great console I think way better then a PS4 Pro. Wait to see the library in the next couple years.
@@Earthling247 with more games comes more sales, not less. If Sony sold 50 million in 3 years, don't you think they'll sell 50 million in 3 more? You're going to feel awfully embarrassed here when Sony let's us know they hit 60 million this summer.
The jump from PS4 to 5 is the smallest generational leap weve seen weve hit diminishing returns hard! Graphics need to take a back seat we need improvements to AI and physics now to go along with visuals i know i wont be interested in a PS6 if its heres the exact same games looking SLIGHTLY better
Is there any chance you are related to Jordan Peterson ??? The voice man lol. I can’t get over how much it sounds just like him haha. I’m a fan by the way lol all compliments
Sonys first party studios are cooking, and have takin forever to release games because of the live service path they were on that was recently back peddled, I think Sony just had to rethink their strategy and we’re seeing a shift in across the gaming industry when it comes to production costs, same with the movie businesses, they are having to think smarter about how they make games and it’s an ever changing industry that’s not easy to navigate when we have so many business’s vying for our attention.
I'm still waiting for the PS5 PRO to come out. I bought the original PS4 about a month before the PS4 Pro was announced. Boy was I pissed off. Made me hate my PS4. LOL. So I learned my lesson. Never again will I buy a first edition console.
I don’t know if to pay for PS Plus/Extra or just buy a used game and resell it for the same price when I finish it. This way I would never pay for games on ps5
If the (presumably) halfway point of this generation's console cycle is anything to go by....this is officially the "lost generation" of video game consoles. Perhaps in part caused by the pandemic and the bizarre lack of supply in the first year or so, there is NOTHING of note about this (or indeed the Xbox counterpoint). My PS5 is just this multimedia thing in my house that I use on occasion. I don't have any fondness or love for it. I feel like if this thing had backwards compatibility I'd just be playing PS3 games on it constantly.
Been with Playstation from Playstation 1 - PS5 only playstation i am skipping, its simply dont have any games I want to play on it and I have gaming PC, why even bother? PS5 is not even close to PS4 - a lot of games, a lot of new franchises but in PS5 - full safeplay and its BOOOOOOORING, plus they are releasing everything on PC. So Jim Rayan killed playstation magic for me - fan with 20+ years with the brand, that quite the achievement if you ask me.
maybe I am too old, but I dont remember such a big jump from PS2 to PS3. From the PS3 I mostly remember that nobody bought it because it was too expensive. I remember when the first Playstation came out and how mind blowing was in comparison to all other 16 bit consoles, and I remember the first PS2 games and the big change in graphics then. The problem these days is that we discuss about games more for their graphics than for their gameplay. An example: when FF7 came out, that was the very first Final Fantasy that arrived in Europe, what I remember the most was how different if felt to play it and the music, not how many polygons were used for Cloud or how many CG movies were in it. Same story when the first MGS came out, it was all about "I have never played anything like this" or the first Resident Evil, it was about "shit this is so scary". These days is more about "oh it runs 60 fps at 4K, wao" and it doesnt matter if the game is yet another open world game or another first person shooter. Games have become easier than ever and require so many hours to be completed, often repeating the same chores for 100 hours or more. The amount of cut-scenese, unnecessary tutorials and dialogues is ridiculous at times. Gaming has lost part of its charm. Same goes for the physical media, the manuals, it was all part of the charm of buying a new game.
Eh, the issue is that, as you have mentioned, the technological leaps that are obvious are just not there anymore. People have accepted that. Because of that the conversation has shifted from the customer expecting experiences theyve never had to accepting that graphics are "good enough" but that those same graphics should be given with better frame rates, smoother gameplay, and latency that is essentially non existent. Even graphics cards are shifting from raw power to AI based upscaling because of costs. The tutorial thing...we can mostly agree on that. Imagine a game just throwing you into it like ICO? Very few besides elden ring dare to tread there. Admittedly, gameplay has become more complex over time with dozens of button combos that need to be figured out (E.g. holding R and pressing any face button has and of 4 actions or holding L & R than pressing any of the face buttons is another set of actions, etc) in games like Nioh 2, FF stranger of paradise, et al so sometimes there has to be some tutorial just to grease the gears. I wouldnt say all games have become easier than ever. Not by a long shot. Sure, if you buy whatever ubisoft is sharting out, you should know what youre getting (prince of persia completely excluded from this statement) and not be surprised if you arent new to the space and the various studios/devs. We are in a completely different era and there is a lot of good coming with the bad in my estimation.
@@Alienisolati0nistlets take your statement as 100% accurate, Graphics are 100 times better than on PS4. Still the topic here is gameplay and innovation. Never we have seen in Sony history the amount of masterpieces per year that the PS1 has given to players. The Squaresoft of 1998, 1999 was on top of its game, every FF was a leap forward both technically and artistically, even if it was released on the same hardware. The Square Enix of today simply does no longer have those human resources, even though they release some very good games, but not as good as in those days. Of course this is my personal view and it is okay if you disagree completely.
@@starpier and here we are with FF7, realistic and detailed under the Midgar plate, better then our 13 year old minds ever had imagined. We aren't even at the half life point for PS5 & I believe it will have a library, eventually, that will boost sales past PS2 numbers by 2029
@@Alienisolati0nist maybe, if the PS5 lifecycle will be 10 years or more. But you are only talking about graphics. Graphics alone do not make a great game. Gameplay, music, concept art, polish all these key elements have nothing to do with graphics. FF7 is a great example because, even in 97, it wasnt exactly the most beautiful looking game on the market. The remake improved the graphics massively but completely messed up everything else, including the story. For my money, that game was a major let down.
This was the first cycle that was unnecessary. The average ps5 owner don’t even own a tv that takes advantage of its feature. VRR, 120hz. Which is the 2 biggest visual upgrade over the ps4 pro. It wasn’t worth $500 especially for the first 3 years. I still have my pro and a ps5…….. I have the premium plan……….i currently am playing….you guessed it……BORDERLANDS 2!
This current gen was rushed I really wish it would of waited a year or two. This is the first time I really do not want a new console, maybe only from Nintendo since they are always behind. I feel like a Series X and PS pro system should hold us off for more than the 7 year next gen.
There are basically no exclusives for the new consoles, heck even Nintendo Switch does not have that many exclusive games and it has been around for soon a decade... I remember the good old 90s, when consoles were the optimal and supreme way for playing games on...
Just got Tomb Raider trilogy on my PS4 Pro in Feb 24. It has no load time and I have no need for PS5. This might be the first console generation I skip.
You are absolutely correct. That’s about the only authentic game for PS5. Every other game is PS4 remake/remastered. I feel like I waisted my money. And to be halfway through a cycle with barely any PS5 games is insane. Yet they’re releasing a PS5 pro
@@MeggaMann_theBlueLion A controller wtf its controls, but but the tension and haptic rumble. So!! this is the worse gen for consoles if the controller rumbling is the highlight
@@rovingmauler7410 Any worthwhile ps3 games was ported to the ps4 years ago so in a way the Ps5 plays good ps3 games as well. Example Mass Effect was ported to ps4 and the ps4 disc of the game has the free 4k/60fps upgrade patch for ps5.
I was definitely team Xbox and team Nintendo my whole life...I never owned a Playstation but I had a friend that owned a PS2 back in the day. While I enjoyed the games we played when I went over to his house, I still absolutely HATED the way that the controller felt, especially the dual analog sticks. It kind of turned me off to the prospect of getting a Playstation for myself. But Sony made several major improvements to the controller starting with the PS4, namely by adding depressions into the analog sticks so they would feel more natural to grip. When I finally did get a PS5, what really blew me away was not only how much better the controller felt in the hands, but also how much more immersive the PS5 controller makes the gaming experience with the haptic feedback. I also loved that it came with a fun demo game to show you all these features too. The entire experience of unboxing and booting up the PS5 was more memorable than my Xbox Series X for sure. It was more akin to the feeling of wonder I had when I got a Wii back in the day.
Brother if you haven’t played mafia definitive edition u have to it’s a hidden gem released in 2020 I think it’s part of ps premium. Incredible story game great gameplay
Enjoy the ps5 for what it is, there are still offline single player masterpieces that u can own to play and look and preform amazing. The future maybe online only subscription never own pay walls that are crap.
PS4 Pro w/SSD owner. Im Holding out for PS5 PRO. Maybe I will take a long break from gaming IDK? No rush. PS5 lacks exclusive games. Previous generations we're better. PS4 can still play almost all PS5 titles. There's only 6 games I'm missing out on right now; (Feb 2024). Obviously that will eventually change. Im sick of remasters of old games being pushed as new games to make $. Nothing really groundbreaking anymore to get excited about. Graphics are 👍 on PS4 Pro. Loading is ok with SSD upgraded too.
It's insane how many people STILL play online on PS3. So why Sony hasn't figured out PS3 emulation by now on PS5 is also insanity. Clearly there is enough demand for it.
