Sony PlayStation 5 review: A gorgeous portal to next-generation gaming
The PlayStation 5
isn't simply the latest iteration of Japanese company Sony's highly successful
series of gaming consoles, but a genuine leap in
terms of possibilities in gaming. There
are several changes, inside and out, that set up PS5 for a markedly different gaming experience
from its predecessors. Let's dive into the details.
The PlayStation 5
comes in two variants: with Ultra-HD Blu-Ray Disc, and the Digital Edition --
which is also Rs 10,000 cheaper. Our review unit came with the disc drive.
PS5 Controller
The most highlighted (and
rightly so!) aspect of the PS5 is the DualSense Wireless Controller. With its
haptic feedback and trigger resistance, DualSense is more than just an
accessory to the PS5, and in fact becomes an integral part of the immersive and
realistic gaming experience that lets you 'feel' the game.
The
haptic feedback's effects are most palpable in Astro’s Playroom, in which you
can feel everything from the gliding sensation while skating on ice to the
overpowering gush of wind, and the trigger resistance that comes with it. The
game even manages to make use of the DualSense's touchpad and motion controls
for certain activities. On the other hand, the trigger resistance made sure
that I tired my hands out rather quickly due to overexertion and while that
does add to the realism, it may not be suited for marathon gamers.
Even
in terms of design, there are a few changes in DualSense. While the basic
layout remains the same as the DualShock 4, DualSense is bulkier and more
ergonomically designed. Besides, the space between the R1 and R2 buttons is
done away with. In other significant changes, the controller now comes with a
built-in microphone and charges via USB-C. In terms of compatibility, the
DualShock 4 does work on the PS5, but only with PS4 games.
