00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.600
The PS5 is here and a new generation of gaming has officially

00:00:03.600 --> 00:00:06.600
begun Sony's new console adults feel like a generational

00:00:06.600 --> 00:00:09.400
leap in a lot of ways with an amazingly Innovative controller

00:00:09.400 --> 00:00:12.600
and a lightning fast SSD that lets you get to your games faster

00:00:12.600 --> 00:00:15.700
than ever but should you buy the PS5 on day one or should

00:00:15.700 --> 00:00:17.400
you wait, here's our full review.

00:00:17.400 --> 00:00:21.300
So as you can see the PS5 is really really big one of the

00:00:21.300 --> 00:00:25.300
biggest consoles ever stands about 15 inches tall and about

00:00:25.300 --> 00:00:27.500
10 inches wide standing vertically here.

00:00:27.500 --> 00:00:30.700
That's a big deal because you might actually have to readjust

00:00:30.700 --> 00:00:32.500
Your Entertainment area for it.

00:00:32.500 --> 00:00:34.500
We have it sitting up on a small table here.

00:00:34.500 --> 00:00:37.000
It might not easily fit into a lot of entertainment

00:00:37.000 --> 00:00:39.000
center as I was able to fit into mine,

00:00:39.000 --> 00:00:43.300
but just barely now as far as the Aesthetics of the PS5 itself

00:00:43.300 --> 00:00:46.700
is definitely been the subject of much internet to be from a distance.

00:00:46.700 --> 00:00:48.500
I do really like how the PS5 look at.

00:00:48.500 --> 00:00:52.200
The two tone design is very future estate has a lot of sleek

00:00:52.200 --> 00:00:55.200
edges and rounded Corners look unlike any other console.

00:00:55.200 --> 00:00:59.000
There are some minor quirks the standard PS5 looks a bit.

00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:03.400
Metrical from a distance because you get that bulky 4K Blu-ray

00:01:03.400 --> 00:01:06.100
player. The PS5 digital Edition is a bit sleeker because

00:01:06.100 --> 00:01:10.700
it doesn't have the disk drive also worth noting that the PS5

00:01:10.700 --> 00:01:13.300
is Quassy Center is very acceptable fingerprints.

00:01:13.300 --> 00:01:16.100
So you will want to keep that in mind now turn supports

00:01:16.100 --> 00:01:19.300
you get all the basics you got USBC right up front which is very

00:01:19.300 --> 00:01:23.900
handy as well as USB a port an additional two USB ports in the

00:01:23.900 --> 00:01:27.200
back as well as standards like your ethernet Jack and your power

00:01:27.200 --> 00:01:30.400
connection don't have an optical Port this time around with

00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:31.400
his worth keeping in mind.

00:01:31.400 --> 00:01:34.300
If you do have an older high-end headset that use obstacle,

00:01:34.300 --> 00:01:36.900
but many companies are already coming up with the doctors and

00:01:36.900 --> 00:01:40.100
Splitters to work around that so the PS5 has an all-new

00:01:40.100 --> 00:01:43.200
interface which at first glance looks familiar looks fairly

00:01:43.200 --> 00:01:45.400
similar to what we saw on the PS4,

00:01:45.400 --> 00:01:48.500
but everything is streamline everything snap your every cleaner

00:01:48.500 --> 00:01:51.700
that actually has some really neat features that really feel

00:01:51.700 --> 00:01:54.500
next gen. One of the coolest things about the system software

00:01:54.500 --> 00:01:58.000
is the activities feature so you can be playing a game like

00:01:58.000 --> 00:01:59.200
Spider-Man Miles Morales.

00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:02.700
PlayStation button and immediately see a list of activities

00:02:02.700 --> 00:02:05.400
that you can jump right into without actually have to find them

00:02:05.400 --> 00:02:08.100
in game. So if you want to jump right to a side mission,

00:02:08.100 --> 00:02:11.800
see how far you are in your current storyline mission see where

00:02:11.800 --> 00:02:13.100
the trophies are things like that.

00:02:13.100 --> 00:02:16.500
It's very handy and you can even use this feature without

00:02:16.500 --> 00:02:20.400
booting up the game so I can highlight Astros play room on the

00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:23.100
PlayStation interface to take a specific activity and actually

00:02:23.100 --> 00:02:26.600
jumped right that level without going through any Indian menus

00:02:26.600 --> 00:02:27.900
on top of that.

00:02:27.900 --> 00:02:30.500
It's very easy to access all of your previously purchased

00:02:30.500 --> 00:02:32.700
PS4 games there right there in your game Library.

00:02:32.700 --> 00:02:36.200
So a very handy interface very Sleek very attractive and have

00:02:36.200 --> 00:02:39.500
some really cool features speaking of innovative next gen features.

00:02:39.500 --> 00:02:42.200
One of the most exciting things about the PlayStation

00:02:42.200 --> 00:02:46.200
5 is the new Jewel scents controller controller uses haptic

00:02:46.200 --> 00:02:49.100
feedback adapter triggers and built-in speaker microphone

00:02:49.100 --> 00:02:52.700
to do things that simply had an impossible in previous games

00:02:52.700 --> 00:02:55.900
you get a really advanced level of feedback that simulates

00:02:55.900 --> 00:02:58.800
things such as the feel of sand when you're walking through

00:02:58.800 --> 00:03:02.300
a sandstorm you actually Feel that resistance will feel the individual

00:03:02.300 --> 00:03:05.700
pallets of sand kind of rumbling around inside the controller

00:03:05.700 --> 00:03:08.500
or if you're gliding on ice and ice skating level.

00:03:08.500 --> 00:03:12.800
You kind of feel that smooth-skating sensation at the triggers

00:03:12.800 --> 00:03:14.000
are really exciting.

00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:16.700
They can actually adjust the resistance on the fly.

00:03:16.700 --> 00:03:20.200
So if you're controlling say a spring-loaded character

00:03:20.200 --> 00:03:23.200
and Astros playroom the resistance will somebody get really

00:03:23.200 --> 00:03:25.300
high and you'll feel like you're actually pushing down on the

00:03:25.300 --> 00:03:27.800
spring and releasing it to send your character flying.

00:03:27.800 --> 00:03:31.600
There's also a built-in speaker like there was on the Dualshock

00:03:31.600 --> 00:03:34.900
4, but it's much more advanced now don't work together with

00:03:34.900 --> 00:03:38.500
the haptics and the triggers that create this really immersive

00:03:38.500 --> 00:03:42.100
feeling. I'm really eager to see how developers use the Dual

00:03:42.100 --> 00:03:45.900
sends in the future now I do wish the jewels in stroller

00:03:45.900 --> 00:03:49.200
was a little bit more compact like the Dualshock 4 but has a ton of

00:03:49.200 --> 00:03:51.500
exciting technology package inside and I'm really excited

00:03:51.500 --> 00:03:55.400
to see what developers do with it in the future PS5 packs and

00:03:55.400 --> 00:03:59.700
eat core and he's into processor and 10.2 teraflops.

00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:02.900
Gothic power which deliver some really really impressive

00:04:02.900 --> 00:04:06.700
visual so far because of all those Powers guess I was able to

00:04:06.700 --> 00:04:11.100
provide Ray tracing be able to run games at 4K at really high

00:04:11.100 --> 00:04:14.100
frame-rate. It's definitely capable of AKA which we may see in the

00:04:14.100 --> 00:04:16.100
future. But from what we played so far,

00:04:16.100 --> 00:04:18.800
there's definitely a big step up and visuals and especially

00:04:18.800 --> 00:04:22.900
in performance Spider-Man Miles Morales first sample has a performance

00:04:22.900 --> 00:04:27.000
mode where the game runs at 60 frames per second at upscaled 4K,

00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:30.600
which is something that the previous Spider-Man games could

00:04:30.600 --> 00:04:31.800
into on the PS4.

00:04:31.800 --> 00:04:35.300
So you will definitely notice that jump in terms of Fidelity in

00:04:35.300 --> 00:04:37.300
terms of visual faxing definitely frame rate,

00:04:37.300 --> 00:04:42.000
but the real game-changer is the 825 GB SSD packed into this

00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:46.500
console this solid state drive, which the PS4 did not have provides

00:04:46.500 --> 00:04:50.000
some of the fastest loading times we've ever seen in console

00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:53.400
gaming things such as fast traveling and Spider-Man no happen

00:04:53.400 --> 00:04:58.100
instantaneously. You can load games in mere seconds and when

00:04:58.100 --> 00:05:01.200
we've tested backwards compatible Horny, if you know his dramatic

00:05:01.200 --> 00:05:04.900
reductions in loading times were talking about things games

00:05:04.900 --> 00:05:08.500
booting up twice as fast shaving it was much as 30 seconds

00:05:08.500 --> 00:05:10.700
off of loading a big encounter.

00:05:10.700 --> 00:05:14.100
So it's one of the big features watch on both next gen consoles

00:05:14.100 --> 00:05:18.100
just through sheer power of the SSD in the ability to blow these

00:05:18.100 --> 00:05:21.400
games in seconds and spend less time waiting around and more

00:05:21.400 --> 00:05:22.900
time diving into playing.

00:05:22.900 --> 00:05:26.100
So the PS5 launch lineup does have some compelling games.

00:05:26.100 --> 00:05:28.700
Of course, the big headliner is Spider-Man Miles Morales.

00:05:28.700 --> 00:05:32.200
It's a new entry in the Marvel Spider-Man series looks great.

00:05:32.200 --> 00:05:33.100
Please be on PS5.

00:05:33.100 --> 00:05:38.000
You can also get it on PS4 other titles include Sackboy a big

00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:42.400
adventure and the long-awaited Demon Souls remake which all look

00:05:42.400 --> 00:05:43.800
fantastic and where it was.

00:05:43.800 --> 00:05:45.800
Definitely her to spend more time with them on PS5.

00:05:45.800 --> 00:05:49.600
However, it is worth noting that a lot of the PlayStation

00:05:49.600 --> 00:05:54.000
5S launch lineup is available on the PS4 so big third party

00:05:54.000 --> 00:05:57.100
games like Assassin's Creed Valhalla and her five you'll still

00:05:57.100 --> 00:05:59.600
be able to play on PS4 against Spider-Man.

00:05:59.900 --> 00:06:03.600
Sackboy even a lot of those first party titles are going to be

00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:04.700
on the PS4 at 4.

00:06:04.700 --> 00:06:08.500
So there isn't necessarily a huge urgency to upgrade the PS5

00:06:08.500 --> 00:06:11.200
just for those new games now it is worth keeping in mind.

00:06:11.200 --> 00:06:14.300
If you are Fanta soda titles you to have games like God of War

00:06:14.300 --> 00:06:18.100
Ragnarok and Horizon forbidden West look forward to and it was

00:06:18.100 --> 00:06:19.300
Ratchet & Clank ripped apart.

00:06:19.300 --> 00:06:22.700
So there is a lot in the pipeline as far as the initial launch

00:06:22.700 --> 00:06:26.300
lineup. You'll probably be okay if you weighed it is also worth

00:06:26.300 --> 00:06:30.000
noting. However that can u p s v works with virtually every

00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:33.200
PS4 games. If you have a large collection of PS4 titles,

00:06:33.200 --> 00:06:35.600
you will be able to bring them all over you can download

00:06:35.600 --> 00:06:36.500
your PSI tiles.

00:06:36.500 --> 00:06:40.300
Usually you could put in your PS4 disc with with a handful of

00:06:40.300 --> 00:06:43.800
exceptions. So it is worth keeping in mind that you can bring

00:06:43.800 --> 00:06:46.100
over your collection and as we discussed in a lot of cases

00:06:46.100 --> 00:06:48.000
the games will run and play better.

00:06:48.000 --> 00:06:51.900
It will load much faster if a game has PS4 Pro enhancements,

00:06:51.900 --> 00:06:55.900
you will be able to enjoy those on PS5 whether it's a 4K mode

00:06:55.900 --> 00:06:57.100
or higher frame rate mode.

00:06:57.100 --> 00:06:59.700
The PS5 is a true Leap Forward 4.

00:06:59.900 --> 00:07:03.700
Play gaming offering gorgeous 4K performance nearly instant

00:07:03.700 --> 00:07:06.000
load times. And one of the most Innovative controller

00:07:06.000 --> 00:07:08.600
is we've ever use on a console better yet. It

00:07:08.600 --> 00:07:11.300
works with almost all of your PS4 games and a lot of cases

00:07:11.300 --> 00:07:13.400
will make them load and play a lot better.

00:07:13.400 --> 00:07:16.600
That being said there are some reasons to wait before you buy

00:07:16.600 --> 00:07:18.800
a PS5. If you could even find one right now,

00:07:18.800 --> 00:07:23.300
of course the PS5 current game lineup has some great titles

00:07:23.300 --> 00:07:26.100
like Spider-Man Miles Morales, but many of these games are still

00:07:26.100 --> 00:07:30.400
available on PS4 so you can probably afford to wait in terms of

00:07:30.400 --> 00:07:32.900
games. You really need Sony's new console to play.

00:07:32.900 --> 00:07:36.400
There's also the fact that so many tonsil is absolutely

00:07:36.400 --> 00:07:38.300
massive and that might be an issue for folks. I

00:07:38.300 --> 00:07:39.400
don't have a lot of space.

00:07:39.400 --> 00:07:44.000
So we are incredibly impressed with the PS5 so far very sight to

00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:44.700
see how it evolves.

00:07:44.700 --> 00:07:48.400
But right now it's showing a lot of Promise between things

00:07:48.400 --> 00:07:49.700
like the SST you to do well sense.

00:07:49.700 --> 00:07:52.700
It really feels like next gen gaming is here and we can't wait

00:07:52.700 --> 00:07:55.200
to see how developers continue to tap into this machine.

00:07:55.200 --> 00:07:59.200
So once again, this is been the PS5 and for Tom's guide in Toronto.
