Adam.V writes "The Xbox Series X is a terrific console, but there are some PS5 features that I really miss whenever I boot up Microsoft’s diminutive tower of power. Some are minor, I’ll admit, and would ultimately be nice to have. Others, though, feel almost essential – and would only serve to improve the Xbox Series X experience as a whole."
3 of those features would be extremely easy to incorporate. As for the other 2, MS would just have to come up with a new controller. And having seen the success of the Dualsense I would have to imagine MS will be looking at making their own version of it at some point.
"3. Mute the TV when using a headset"
Troubling times when one of the most requested features, is the ability to not have to press 1 button on your TV remote.
"5. Home menu music"
As a gamer, i do not spend enough time on the home screen to warrant playing music, that is what youtube and spotify are for.
1, and 4 i will agree with
I went into this thinking Id disagree with all of them, and came out agreeing with all of them.
1,3 - Adaptive and Haptic feedback I see as the same. Both would be greatly welcomed, but require a hardware update. Maybe in the elite 3 controller? I know id pay for it.
2 - Universal settings are nice. Doesnt really impact me much, since i almost always use default settings aside from a difficulty change to easy, which usually comes up anyway.
4 - Muted volume with headphones is a choice. It certainly makes sense for most situations, but what if your playing an online mp game with others in the room as well. Then it makes more sense to have just a pair of headphones but centralized music. Still a good idea for most cases, and honestly, universal settings may fix this too.
5 - Home menu music, definitely a plus. I miss my themes from ps4, the one thing i liked about the ps4 os.
Ill add one as well, activity cards. I enjoy them quite a bit. The concept of individual challenges in an instant is nice.
None of these features I care about, I can change my settings in each game it only take minutes stop being lazy.
If they want to introduce a new controller with these features awesome but I have no care for those features.
Quick resume for Series X tops all of those (accept the new PS5 controller). I can switch from Watchdog Legions, to Assassins Creed Valhalla, to Gears 5, etc in seconds, and be right where I left off. So far up to 5 games, I have done this with! Hands down my favorite Series X feature.
