PS5: First Gameplay, Tests and Review Abroad

If there’s one thing that particularly bothered PS4 Pro users, it was the incredible roar generated by its internal fan. In games like God of War or The Last of Us Part 2 , the console seems to be about to take off, annoying the user experience because of the noise generated. Well, it seems that with PS5 it will not happen again.

The first tests of PlayStation 5

PS5 First Test

Many media in Japan have been able to access the highly anticipated new Sony console, PlayStation 5, and thanks to several videos published today we can finally know some features of PS5 that until now we were unaware. Something that many were waiting to see was the interface, but unfortunately we will have to keep waiting until we see it in action, since nothing related has been shown.

The only thing we know about it is that the start of the console will be accompanied by a new background melody and the animation of particles that the brand had already advanced in previous presentations.

First games in action

The games have not been lacking, but do not expect the bombs that will accompany the console at its launch. The games they have been able to test are Astro’s Playroom , Godfall and Balan Wonderworld , but none showed a special focus on SSD load times, so it was not possible to see much more than a first look at the visual aspect of the game.

Unfortunately, the demo did not allow the screen capture functions or access to the system menu, so it was not possible to see much beyond what the images show.

A multi-colored DualSense

In this first contact, the guests have also been able to see the new DualSense up close , the console control that will debut adapted haptic vibration, progressive triggers and the presence of the microphone and the USB-C port. Although something that has attracted special attention is the possibility of illuminating the remote in different colors with the help of the integrated lighting.

The PlayStation 5 fan

Something that some media have been responsible for highlighting is how apparently silent the console was. Apparently it is something that has attracted the attention of many of those who have been able to try it, so it would be excellent news for those who were bitter about the excessive noise that the current console produces.

The console is big

Yes, this is something we already know very well, but it is interesting to see how Sony has shown the unit to the press. As we can see in the images, the console was placed in a secondary cabinet closer to the player, and away from the television. Is Sony trying to avoid the size comparison between TV and console? Were you looking to be able to appreciate details by having him close? Be that as it may, the scene showed that it was impossible to place the console in the same cabinet as the television, so this shows one of the problems that the console will have in many homes.

We continue with many unknowns

PS5 screw

Unfortunately, this first look has not served to clarify many of the doubts that continue to exist around the console. And it is that we still do not know the user interface, a secret that Sony continues to keep hidden and that sooner or later it should show considering that we are a month away from the launch of the console.

PS5 interchangeable shell

We also do not know how the internal memory of the console can be expanded, something that can officially be done but for now is a completely mysterious operation. Even so, an image published by 4gamer has revealed a mysterious latch on one of the sides of the console that could be used to remove the side casing and thus access the disk. And who knows, whether to also change the outer casing as previously rumored.
