If you can't speak about the product in a positive light without having to compare it to the other product it doesn't paint the picture I should take this review for being fair.
Its also, imo, a dumb way to review a product that will change overtime. Its not like a blender where you can compare 4 models and go over pros and cons and that won't change.
I never said it wasn't inevitable or that people weren't going to do it. But there are plenty of people who review products without the viewpoint of having to compare it to the competition many times.
I have no idea if the reviewer is a console warrior. I said it simply comes off like one.

That can't be real, can it? The PS4 is able to resume a game that's suspended.

I wonder how useful Quick Resume really is when your games library is mostly non-digital. You'd still need to switch the game disc first before you can launch a game. That will kill the usefulness of a Quick Resume function. Besides that, you'ld still be able to start playing the game a few seconds after launching it.

Gotta agree, horrible review. The guy writes like he’s on gamefaqs, what the hell is this.

Why do Sony fans do this? As soon as they realize PS might not have a feature it becomes unnecessary and useless. Instead of pushing Sony to do better PS fans have a TERRIBLE habit of making excuses for them.
Behavior like that is how you get an expansion like Mile Morales sold as a standalone game.

Sounds solid.
Looking forward to real life impressions with the Dual Sense controller at friends places who preordered a PS5.

Tbh I had never thought of that issue with having to insert the discs. I don't think that post was a troll/bait to Xbox users, it seems like a genuine concern of how the Quick Resume function will actually work in practice.

leads to fear. Fear leads to xbox.

Sounds good, but I'd rather wait for reviews from posters on here when they have the system in hand.
Based on that makes it more impressive? Man you are easily satisfied.

You Can't Store PS5 Games On An External Drive
Unlike Xbox Series X/S, you can't even temporarily store PS5 games on an external drive, although you can set one as the default for PS4 games.

Wholeheartedly agree. Reading it had moments of, "I get it, calm down, chill", and I'm no fanboy of either side, lol.
The no noise thing really is the biggest take away for me from this. That's pretty wild. I hope it stays that way!

A major point of the PS5 is the use of the fast I/O. Having games played of a slow HDD would make no sense.You Can't Store PS5 Games On An External Drive

Edit: Just saw its about storing and not about playing them of the HDD. Thats definitely weird.

Ohhhh it was my most wanted feature for next gen
My plan was Ps5 for multis (because I come from my PS4 library) and Sony exclusives, and XseX for Microsoft exclusives. Thinking on switching that plan now

I think that looks like the Walmart kiosks that I've seen images about recently on Twitter. Some pics of it being unboxed. Also, the hangar tags to the left look like Walmart ones. My local Walmart doesn't have a game section big enough for one of these and has never had running demo kiosks.

Because people can still enjoy from the games and dont see it as 100% necessary feature?
And explain why isnt it correct to say that quick resume for multiple games is 100% useless if gamer uses discs?
1 game in quick resume is enough for many, so more than 1 would be a bonus but doesnt add much in regular basis.
And it all spoils to this:
is the real reason why xbox "Quick resume" is needed because SSD is too slow to load games from zero super fast?
The question is: do PS5 games take ~same time to load from zero than xbox games from quick resume?
YES = then PS5 users get similar loading times for their digital games, than xbox gamers with quick resume = its a tie
NO = then PS5 users get longer loading times for their digital gamers, than xbox gamers with quick resume = xbox gamers "win"
if it is even faster on PS5 from zero to game = ps5 gamers "win"
If it is still under a minute on either system = all gamers win

PS5 Overheating Message Pops Up When Console Gets Too Hot
It looks like Sony has made it so that the PS5 will warn users if the unit is getting too hot to run with a PS5 overheating warning.

Big brain time here running a unit of what`s essentially a PC in a closed case......

Hmmm, that's kind of crazy. I mean, for now we don't have a list of supported NVME drives, and the system has that option disabled for now anyway, AND, you can't swap PS5 games on and off the internal drive/external drive for storage. Storage is pretty limited. I hope they solve both of these things soon.

I've been to many Best Buy stores and many Walmart stores.. That really really looks like Walmart. Below is what Best Buy shelf Tags look like.

I'm not saying Quick Resume is unnecessary or useless. I'm just saying it's not as convenient when you often buy games on disc. Even though every game runs completely from HD, the game disc is required to launch the game. Quick Resume will be a much better experience when you're digital only.

IP will be the only thing that translates.
Not power. Not the SSD. Not what your favourite CEO said. Not the form factor. Not VRS, Raytracing, or Backwards comparability. The only thing that the wider gaming public is going to see is next gen games. And they will gravitate towards whatever platform they deem to be making the best next gen argument via games
I understand what you mean and my comment was a little flippant because what you mentioned is legitimate.
it just seems like everytime we learn of a feature that Sony might not have, it all of a sudden becomes a useless feature that wasn't needed anyway. I think that type of behavior is bad for all gamers and try to call it out when I see it, but your post didn't deserve such a petty response.

I think the embargo on the Console itself lifts in 20 minutes
There's no real technical reason it can't be done, except for wanting to prioritise implementing other features first or considering it to be a waste of storage space given how quickly games can load anyway and that they have the ability to load you into a specific part of the game directly from the menus. In other words is it worth saving 5 seconds at the cost of 10s of GBs of storage being lost. Probably not.

I don’t think you understand the point of quick resume if you think that having some quick load spots is the same thing.
this is a big L for the PS5 in terms of OS features.
