The PS5 will be released and all will be right in the world. As long as the new Sony console has a few updated features that is! Let’s bust out the wishlist.
Back Compati
An already confirmed component, backwards compatibility will bring V nice things to the PS5. Talkin’ all the games from the previous PlayStation systems. Just soooo many gems to play for the first time or revisit. Couple things though, all the games have to be playable and it better be free.
A dude from Game Tower in Northridge, CA tells me that the PS5’s backwards compatibility will be at a cost. Nothing would be worse than having to eat an expense for old games. After all, why make it free when it could be 5 bucks a month? Seems like it could be real.
Better UI
Xbox One’s homescreen/interface situation is miles ahead of the PlayStation’s in speed and clarity. PS5 has to improve in those areas for sure. If anything, just reduce the navigation lag to zero or next to zero. Please make the dashboard cleaner. Also, don’t spam the player with random info as soon as the system boots up e.g. sales, PS Now offers, etc. Make the whole thing as simple as possible. Thanks!
No Patch Copying
How the PS4 handles game patches currently is the dummest s–t ever. Kotaku even weighs in on the whole process. Takes 30 minutes to download the update, then 3 hours for the “copying” portion to complete. Wouldn’t be a able to tell you what copying is doing to the PS4. Honestly, don’t know, don’t care. Obviously, something substantial. Cuz it really takes forever and a day. If the PS5 does anything like this, players will riot.
The PS5 should release sometime between October and December 2020. Info about the system will likely come out before that time. Hopefully checking off the wishlist above! In the meantime, let’s be plebs and speculate about the whole thing. Maybe have a glass of G Fuel.
Getting hyped on “Death Stranding” again! Here’s an edit:
