Anything I can do to decrease pop-in with textures and LOD would also be a nice benefit, but at this point I don't know if it's possible without installing to the internal SSD. Warzone for example suffers from a lot of that early in the match, but on the PS5's SSD all of it is eliminated.
      I'd be willing to spend more money on a quality drive, that's not the issue. I just want to see the differences (if there are any) between USB connected drives. If an external SSD isn't going to give me much advantage over a mechanical drive I'd rather buy something with 8TB so I don't have to redownload 100+ GB games whenever I get the random urge to play.

I bought a WD Black D10 external for my PS4 but after a while I ended up using it as a backup for my old PC. Glad I did because I would have lost everything when it's main drive failed. When using it on my PS4 the transfer speeds were terribly slow, it's USB 3.0 7200rpm rated at up to 250MB/s but it was doing less than half of that speed, on top of that it vibrated the fuck out of my desk. Backing up from my PC which didn't have USB 3.0 took ages, transfer speeds were like 5MB/s for 4TB of storage, it took days to complete.
      So now I'm wary of any drive marketed for gaming, the noise and vibration were the worst part. Even when the drive wasn't being accessed it would randomly start, so now it just sits on my desk unplugged until I actually need to transfer files.

      Anyways, there would be no point in buying a 4k144hz monitor as they don't support HDMI 2.1 yet. It is better to wait for the end of 2020/begining of 2021 for the upcoming monitors. There are lots of other reasons why 1440p should be a native output resolution:
      1. 4k even at 60hz is still too much for consoles (and most PCs if set to Ultra) so it will be limited graphics settings wise.
      2. Framerate>resolution as long as the resolution is not just 1080p
      3. 4k is only really noticeable on +30" screens
      4. There are people who already have 1440@144hz which are even better suited for gaming than TVs (input lag i.e)
      Some people consider they did not add it because Sony sells 4k TVs

      @@sageskeleton1400 haven't found anything yet. If I don't learn about it before I get the one I pre-ordered, I'll try to remember and update this once I test it out. Unless I end up selling my PS5 without opening it. I really wanted the digital model, but was only able to secure the disc-based model so I haven't fully made up my mind if I'm keeping it yet.

    Doesn't look like there is any lag or struggle during navigation. Looks pretty smooth. I hope over time it stays that way. It was sluggish on the PS4 even during the presentation when it launched. I switched mine out to a SSD and it helped but only a bit.

    I'm disappointed that you didn't mention that it doesn't support 1440p output. That's probably relevant for a good part of your audience.

    • @strangevision99

      At the moment there is no support for themes. Since the new UI always has art/music from a game you have selected, they might not ever implement themes.

Maybe they'll consider it in the future, especially since some themes served as good pre order bonuses for games as welll

    Does a PS4 game take up as much space on the PS5 as on the PS4? Why I'm asking is because the file system works differently between PS4 and PS5. It's said that PS5 games doesn't use textures and models saved in several copies as on the PS4. So a game that would take up let's say 50GB on the PS4 could technically maybe just take up 40GB on the PS5.

    It's really interesting how similar both the game library and game/app management menus are for the PS5 and Xbox. I'm glad to see that they are choosing to make the menus have more ease of use and functionality over trying to make them look different from one another.

    • @VictorHuff
      @VictorHuff Před 3 lety

      Now that I think about it, the Switch has a similar game menu as well. I guess a downward scrolling list of squares that can be filtered is the best we can come up with at the moment for comprehensiveness and simplicity.

    I heard there is no 1440p support yet. I really hope this is added so I have the option of playing 120fps games when they are available over hdmi 2.0. I guess I will have the option of 1080p 120hz and 4k 60hz until that is added. (I know you can't select 120hz output manually but it would be a nice to have the capability at 1440p over hdmi 2.0)

      @UrBuddyEvan you formulated that very poorly. And no, I don't agree. I'll say, it's unlikely. But it's not impossible, if the community builds up enough pressure and seeing as Microsoft does it.
      I don't even want them to tell the devs to optimize for 1440p monitors. I just want to be able to have a 1440p menu, the option for 120Hz without having to manually drop to 1080p or support HDMI 2.1 on my whole expensive and relatively new HDMI Pipeline, and the ability to have the console properly downsample 4k output. I don't think that's a large ask.
      But Sony is stubborn like that, so we'll see. But if a larger shit storm starts I'm totally in as that's the best chance we've got.
