The core question of whether the new PS5 is better or worse than the launch model can be answered by saying that they're mostly much the same, certainly in terms of the end user experience.
COGconnected's picks for the Top 5 Video Games Arriving in June 2025, ranked by hype and quality expectations.
Sandfall focused on quality over quantity, and didn't want to stuff the game just to make it larger and larger.
So the opposing viewpoint that Ubisoft has these days? Good. I'm sick of extra long, filler games, not because shorter is better, but rather because I want an exciting game all the way through, and I'd rather have less content, if that content is of higher quality (more unique scenarios or freedom to complete an objective in my own way), than repeatedly performing copy & paste boring quests throughout a massive game map. That to me is not interesting.

Length to price is a stupid metric. You can play a 8 hour masterpiece and it can stay with you for years.
Or you could play a overinflated generic game for 80 hours that repeats it's gameplay loop ad nauseum while collecting 100s of items around a map with no purpose
Each game sells for full RRP what would you prefer.
Maybe it's just me but the older I get I just want games to respect my time. If a game is justifiably long great if a game bloats itself for no reason I hate it
The highly anticipated Elden Ring spinoff has just been released, but the reception is mixed at best. FromSoftware faces some serious feedback from the fans, with many blaming the lack of some core co-op features from Elden Ring: Nightreign.
I haven't played it, but there should have been a dual co-op option at launch, and if the game is not strictly balanced from going solo to 3 people, then that is a major flaw.
As far as the screw is concerned... the original was made to be tightened with a coin, not so much a screwdriver. They did the same thing with the PS2 hdd adapter and even the stands for the PS4 slim/pro.
It sucks that some people were or still are genuinely worried about getting the new model because of Austin Evan's video.
These factual videos are also getting a fraction of the views because they lack clickbait titles, and there's less articles providing the correct information.
He really should update the title but given that he admitted he used clickbait for views and he dislikes PS anyway ( https://mobile.twitter.com/... ), I doubt he'll pass on the ad revenue.
I’m sure they are very similar . They may have slight advantages over each other but nothing to make a fuss about or enough to get the newer model . The models that make the biggest differences will either be a slim or pro model .
This is nothing more then the backstage of the console war. It started before the launch of the ps5 and its still going. Fake news after fake news. But lies don't go far. You tubers and social media is being used like a weapon to create lies.
