Davkaus Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Game are well known for taking more pre-orders than they have stock. I wouldn't count on getting one from them even if I had confirmation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dubbs Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 I know this might be a stupid question but I was wondering about the audio from the PS5. They mention this Pulse headset is used for spacial audio, so does that mean anyone using just the TV speakers or a theatre kit won't get the full audio experience?

jacketspuds Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 Managed to pre-order one yesterday from GAME, but it was more through luck than judgement. I was just having a look around the website for something else and it must've been just at the time they opened up more pre-orders. Jammy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They mention this Pulse headset is used for spacial audio, so does that mean anyone using just the TV speakers or a theatre kit won't get the full audio experience? The PS5 supports something called HRTF (Head-Related Transfer Function) and it basically tries to shape the audio in a way that best fits certain ear types. Every person has a HRTF range that is unique to them, it's as unique as a finger print. What PS5 will do is have a series of preset HRTF profiles and the player can find the one that best fits them and sounds best for them. This does mean that PS5 games may sound better for some people on a good pair of headphones, not necessarily the Pulse headphones, but a good set of headphones with the right HRTF setting will be an incredible experience. That said I don't think any of this stuff will impact those using TV speakers, or a home theatre setup. PS5 is a system that will be used in a multitude of setups and it will work well in all of them. I wouldn't be too concerned about using a PS5 via TV speakers/home theatre, I am sure it will sound fantastic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubbs Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 Just think it's a bad decision not to have Dolby Atmos support. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sony went with their own custom Tempest 3D Audio solution because they wanted something that works with all stereo headphones, speakers, soundbars and sound systems. They also wanted a solution that supported hundreds of 3D audio sources within a scene for greater accuracy and immersion. Dolby Atmos only works well on Atmos certified devices and only supports 32 audio sources within a scene. It is both more restrictive and less accurate so Sony chose to go in another direction. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough. I didn't know that. Looking forward to hearing how this system is utilised. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 I played my PS4 last night with the original one ear piece 'headseat' that came with it. It's crazy how much better it is than the one I brought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogso Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Sony have finally officially confirmed that the PS5 is backwards compatible with all but 10 PS4 discs - some will get a bit of a 'boost', although they do warn that some features and unexpected errors may occur for some games. Good news for those of us who never get rid of purchased games. Those 10 non-compatible games are; DWVR Afro Samurai 2: Revenge of Kuma Volume One TT Isle of Man – Ride on the Edge 2 Just Deal With It! Shadow Complex Remastered Robinson: The Journey We Sing Hitman Go: Definitive Edition Shadwen Joe’s Diner Most of which I've never heard of. PS4 peripherals will also work with the PS5 for PS4 games, but not for PS5 games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had launch consoles for ps3/4 as well. weird. Totally opposite for me. I've had launch consoles for PS1/PS2/PS3/PS4 (still all working too) and I think this is easily the most excited I've been about one. Admittedly, the Demon Souls remake is a HUGE factor but just in general I'm really, really hyped. To be honest, it's kinda nice to have something to look forward to after such a sodbag of a year with COVID etc. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
