The PS5 has some fantastic features and impressive tech that make it a force to be reckoned with among next generation consoles
The PlayStation 5 is days away from launching in the UK, and gamers have been chomping at the bit to finally get to grips with Sony’s next gen machine.
The PS5 release - and indeed this generational transition as a whole - is a bit of a watershed moment for gaming, with Sony releasing two versions of the console at the same time; one with a traditional disc drive and a digital-only machine without a drive. Microsoft are doing the same, marking this as a time when both companies are putting their foot firmly on the pedal as we cruise towards a potential digital only future, dominated by downloads and subscription services.
We’ve put the full-fat, disc-drive enabled PlayStation 5 through its paces, and it’s fair to say that Sony’s latest platform is going to be setting new standards in gaming this generation.
For those who love the nitty gritty of numbers, under the hood of PlayStation 5 is a x86-64-AMD Ryzen Zen 8 Core CPU, and a GPU of up to 2.23 GHz with Ray Tracing Acceleration and an AMD Radeon RDNA 2-based graphics engine. In terms of memory, there’s 16GB GDDR6.
On paper, there’s an 825GB SSD for internal storage, but once everything that’s pre-loaded / built in is taken into account, there’s actually only 667GB of space free for things like game downloads, save files and apps. With a number of recent and upcoming releases pushing the 100GB mark, people might find the machine will fill up rather quickly, especially if you’re making use of the backwards compatibility feature to revisit or carry on with a few PS4 games.
The console supports external hard drives via USB, and in fact it actively suggests that you download any previous gen titles to external storage and play them directly off there in order to conserve space on the machine itself.
If you’re after a slightly more graceful solution than plugging a little box into a big box, prising off the white panel on the top of the console lets you access an internal NVMe SSD slot that will accommodate SSD stick shaped units for increased storage. However, according to Sony, this feature will not be available at launch, and instead will be part of a system update at some point in the future.
But that’s enough about all the cogs and sprockets. How does the machine look?
Design
From the moment it emerges from the box, the first thing that strikes is how much of a chunky beast the PlayStation 5 actually is, like a gym bunny who’s overdone it on the protein powder. 390mm wide and with a depth and height of 260mm and 104mm respectively, you’ll need to set aside a fair amount of space for it. It’s slightly lighter than you might expect it to be though, clocking in at 4.5kg.
Despite the size, it is undoubtedly a very elegant looking piece of gear. A shiny black monolith sandwiched between two curved white collars, it’s like Eve from Pixar’s Wall-E got run over by a steam roller. The whole thing marries a futuristic space age vibe with an organic feel, and is probably a nicer treat for the eyes than the sharp, functional oblongs of its Xbox rivals.
The smooth obsidian filling of this sandwich looks featureless from across the room, but has a regular USB port and a USB C one, as well as unobtrusive physical power and eject buttons.
As with previous PlayStations, the PS5 can be used horizontally or vertically, with a small plastic disc stand that attaches to the end with a small bolt if you want your console to stand upright. The disc also clips onto the back of the console when used horizontally, which provides a more stable base against the curved bottom collar, with the added benefit of not only creating a slight wedge of ventilation space underneath the PS5 but also making it look like it's floating slightly.
Controller

The new machine brings with it a fresh new direction for PlayStation controllers. Doing away with the now classic Dual Shock style that’s been used for over 20 years, the PS5 uses the DualSense pad. With a far more ergonomic feel that any of its predecessors, the controller has longer prongs that sit very comfortably in the hands. The underside is textured with minuscule X,O, Square and Triangle symbols, adding a superior grip that comes in handy during extended play sessions.
The triggers have been overhauled, and are now adaptive, allowing you to apply a greater range of pressures to achieve different in game effects. There’s also a microphone built in to the unit which will likely be put to some interesting uses by developers in the future. At present, the one implementation we’ve encountered is blowing on it to move the robotic main character in Astro’s Playroom, the tech demo platformer that comes pre-loaded onto the console.
There’s been innovations made inside the controller as well, namely with the addition of Haptic Feedback. Essentially, this is an upgraded rumble function, and boy do we mean ‘upgraded’. Vibrations are now far more nuanced and defined, spreading throughout different parts of the pad in an uncanny way. It’s hard to describe without experiencing it for yourself, but when it comes to immersion, it’s the tactile equivalent of going from headphones to surround sound. Without a doubt, the DualSense is one of the biggest selling points of the new system.
Performance
At present, the only fully fledged PS5 titles we’ve played are the Astro’s Playroom and Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales. You’ll be able to check out our individual reviews of these games very soon, but generally speaking, the PlayStation 5 delivers a marked improvement over the PS4.
Everything is much sharper and more detailed, with fantastic vibrancy and visual depth. Miles Morales’ version of New York is a more bustling, realistic and alive environment than that of the original Spider-Man on PS4. Meanwhile, Astro’s Playroom shows off the machine’s capacity to deliver incredibly fluid animation.
PS4 Backwards compatibility
Sony have long been touting the backwards compatibility aspect of the PS5, which is an understandable move given how disappointed many were with the underbaked implementation of it on the PS4. In practice, the standard PS5 actually does a bang up job of bridging generations, and is especially straightforward when it comes to making the leap from the previous machine.
A large proportion - if not the majority - of PS4 games will be playable on the PS5. If you’ve got a PS4 disc, you can simply insert it into the PS5 and after a short install, you’ll be up and running. Be warned, we found this to be a very noisy process that seems to send the machine’s fans into overdrive, something made even more noticeable given how silently the PS5 runs the rest of the time.
Digital PS4 games that you already own will appear in the Library section of the PS5, and can be downloaded from there, or the PS Store. Save files can be transferred via wifi, ethernet cable, USB stick or via the cloud if you’ve a PS Plus subscription.
The promised performance boosts to PS4 games are quite noticeable, if not entirely all encompassing. Using a disc version of Resident Evil 2 Remake, the environments and lighting took a decent turn for the better, while Leon’s character model didn’t see much improvement, at times almost appearing like he was appearing on green screen due to the slight disparity between him and the background.
A digital version of Marvel’s Avengers showed some improvements as well, managing to push the needle up a bit when it came to lighting, visual effects and character textures.
The big game changer is loading times. On PS4, booting up RE2 took 36 seconds compared to 20 seconds on the PS5, while loading a save game took 28 seconds on the older machines versus 16 seconds for its younger sibling.
The painfully long load times on Avengers were drastically improved as well. On PS4, booting the game to its main menu took 46 seconds, loading the campaign mode took 53 seconds and then loading a mission took about 51 seconds. On PS5 we had a 27 second boot up, 36 second load to the campaign and 38 second wait for a mission.
In general, loading seems to be about 40% quicker, which is certainly something to celebrate.
Interface
The Home screen of the PS5 is a lot less cluttered than the PS4, with UI icons made smaller and moved closer to the top of the screen. Hovering over a game’s icon will dedicate the screen to some nice artwork from it, and there’s a reduction in the amount of claustrophobic boxes of news feeds, update streams and other content that inundates the corresponding page on the PS4.
Pushing the PlayStation button in the middle of the DualSense brings up a sleek bar of shortcuts at the bottom of the screen, giving quick access to the download queue, settings, and the Game Base, which is a streamlined party and message management system. There’s some limited customisation to be had with these shortcuts, with the ability to remove or add specific icons.
Verdict
The PlayStation 5 is an outstanding console, with a beautiful outward appearance and the capacity to deliver beautiful things on your TV as well. Games so far have a better overall look, and the snappy loading times are an incredibly tantalising and welcome feature.
The DualSense controller is perhaps one of its more formidable innovations. Its implementation of haptic feedback is nothing short of a revelation, taking the sense of immersion to the next level. Coupled with the impressive exclusives on the system, it all makes the PS5 a remarkable proposition for next gen gaming.
The PlayStation 5 will be released in the UK on November 19. The Standard Edition is priced at £449.99 and the Digital Edition is priced at £349.99. Buy now from Amazon, Currys or GAME.

thedailymirror--2020-11-06--Jose Mourinho left fuming with Arsenal coach decision

Jose Mourinho is `` not comfortable '' that Gareth Bale 's time on the pitch with Wales during the upcoming international break will be partly managed by an Arsenal coach .
With Ryan Giggs not taking charge of Wales ' three games , coach Albert Stuivenberg , who is also on Mikel Arteta 's staff , will help assist Robert Page .
Bale is in the squad as he makes his way back from a knee injury , a recovery which has been carefully managed by Tottenham since he rejoined on loan in September .
Mourinho has suggested there could @ @ @ @ @ @ @ hopes the work Spurs have done with Bale over the last few weeks is not destroyed .
`` It 's not Giggs responsible for these matches and I 'm sorry about it , '' Mourinho said .
`` Because for the previous fixtures he called me , we spoke about Ben Davies - not Gareth because Gareth was not there - and we shared opinions on the situation , which is probably not going to happen this time .

The Spurs manager is unhappy that Gareth Bale will be working with Arsenal coach coach Albert Stuivenberg during his time on international duty with Wales
Jose Mourinho is "not comfortable" that Gareth Bale's time on the pitch with Wales during the upcoming international break will be partly managed by an Arsenal coach.
With Ryan Giggs not taking charge of Wales' three games, coach Albert Stuivenberg, who is also on Mikel Arteta's staff, will help assist Robert Page.
Bale is in the squad as he makes his way back from a knee injury, a recovery which has been carefully managed by Tottenham since he rejoined on loan in September.
Mourinho has suggested there could be a possible conflict of interest and hopes the work Spurs have done with Bale over the last few weeks is not destroyed.
"It's not Giggs responsible for these matches and I'm sorry about it," Mourinho said.

"Because for the previous fixtures he called me, we spoke about Ben Davies - not Gareth because Gareth was not there - and we shared opinions on the situation, which is probably not going to happen this time.
"And the fact that one of the coaches is an Arsenal coach does not make me very comfortable. Honestly, it doesn't make me very comfortable. National team matches should have coaches that work exclusively for them, not coaches who work for other clubs.

"He's working so much and we're all working so carefully with him that we don't want to destroy the work everybody is doing for the last couple of months."

thedailymirror--2020-11-06--Donald Trump, live from the White House: "It's not fair! I want the presidency!"

We go now live to the White House , where the 45th president of the United States is on his 126th hour of insomnia , thanks to a powerful cocktail of dexamethasone and Sunny Delight .
The Resolution desk is empty , save for scattered crayons , ketchup , and the remnants of a mega bucket .
The curtains have been drawn in the hope of calming Mr Grumpypants down enough for a little nap .
On the Oval Office sofa , the Oompah Loompah-In-Chief is jumping up and down like Tom Cruise with a beard to sell .
`` @ @ @ @ @ @ @ win !
You ca n't make me not win !
I hate Fox News , they were my friend and now they 're so mean and are friends with Joe Biden !
And now Georgia .
I thought Georgia was my girlfriend but now she likes Joe !
Mommy , I want to bomb Georgia ! ''
`` OK first off , I 'm not your Mommy .
And second , you ca n't bomb your own country , '' says Ivanka .
`` We can sue Georgia , would that make you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ official pipes up from outside the door , which has been barricaded with furniture to stop the toddler getting out .
`` Uh , Mr President , suing is not going well so far .
Judges keep asking us for evidence . ''
Donny throws himself on the floor , screaming at the ceiling .
`` We have the evidence !
I have told everyone !
They are not letting us watch ! ''
`` Uh , sir , no , there are literally Republican observers in every count .
What 's happening @ @ @ @ @ @ @ watch the television . ''
A bust of Winston Churchill shatters against the barricade .
From the other sofa where she sits reading Vague with icy calm , one of the immigrants who made it in before the wall was n't built drawls : `` Donny is silly boy . ''
`` I am NOT silly !
I am the president !
I have been populist and that means people all like me and I have won again ! ''
She sighs and turns a page .
`` You declare victory in rigged @ @ @ @ @ @ @ time .
Is stupid . ''
`` Do n't call me stupid !
I had a great plan for this and it 's all going WRONG ! ''
`` Your plan was to tell your voters to vote on the day , while Joe told his friends to vote by mail .
Zen you get your friends in Michigan , Pennsylvania , and Wisconsin to delay the counting of Joe 's votes until later so you could say they were fake .
All zat haz happened is whole world see you losing every @ @ @ @ @ @ @ loser than if lost already . ''
`` I am not a loser .
If you call me a loser I will poo in your shoes again .
MY shoes .
I bought them ! ''
Melania stands , smooths down her skirt , and fixes the squalling baby with a withering glare .
`` Shoes in pre-nup .
More shoes in alimony .
Divorce on desk . ''
With that , she turns and glides out of the Oval Office , and into a meeting with her new image consultant to discuss @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Care , Do U ?
Behind her , Trumpelstiltskin dances a jig , biting his lower lip , chuffing his elbows like an arthritic coal train , jerking each knee as though a proctologist has just performed an intimate examination on a cold , dry day .
`` Loupooptins , Loupooptins , you got Loupooptins !
I did n't like you anyway .
IMMIGRANT !
Well , if I ca n't watch TV I will go on it instead and say how all the things people can see are n't happening . ''
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ Obama .
`` Donald , you need to concede .
For the good of the nation .
For the sanity of the free world .
So John King on CNN can get some sleep . ''
`` NEVER !
Joe 's such a LOSER ! ''
The phone crashes into its cradle .
`` Hey , you !
You !
Whatever your name is .
Have I fired you yet ?
No ?
Then listen , I want them to stop counting Joe 's friends .
It 's making me look like I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I 'm going to tweet it . ''
A terrified White House staffer who 'd been hiding behind the curtains says : `` Uh , sir , if we stop counting now , Mr Biden would win . ''
`` He would n't win because it 's rigged .
If he wins when it 's rigged , that means I 've won . ''
`` And does n't that also mean you ca n't win , even if you do ?
If we only count Joe 's friends until you say that he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ count all your friends until you say that 's enough , then that 's not really winning , is it ? ''
The phone rings again .
`` You 're fired , '' says Trumpkin to the relieved staffer .
`` Who is this ? ''
`` It is I , Putin .
You need concede you big baby .
You make me look bad .
I not raise you to behave like loser . ''
`` But I 'm not losing !
Not really !
Not if I get people banging on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ around , and intimidating election officials . ''
`` You look like loser , you sound like loser , so you loser .
You make me look like democrat though , so there 's that .
I give Deutsche Bank your new number , they want talk to you about that $ 900million .
Also I think that pee tape on Reddit soon .
Bye bye . ''
Outside the Oval Office , there are sounds of furniture splintering as the New York state attorney general tries to get in to ask about @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to seize his assets .
Through the window , a Manhattan grand jury is looking into allegations of bank , tax and insurance fraud .
Federal prosecutors are on the roof , preparing to abseil down the facade with charges relating to illegal use of campaign funds to pay off Stormy Daniels .

And on the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sharpening their chisels and preparing to storm the Residence to remove an illegal squatter who has overstayed his never-particularly-warm welcome .
`` I do n't understand ! ''
wails the baby .
`` I had the biggest crowd at my inauguration ever , period !
I beat a very unpopular candidate in 2016 who got more votes than me !
I did everything people wanted , except build the wall , or keep them safe .
I made everyone nice and angry !
It was an accident .
It was someone else 's @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 900million .
