PS5 ‘CHUNKY WITH BRAINS & BEAUTY’ – REVIEW
“It’s sleek, it’s sexy, it’s… big. Really big. The PlayStation 5 is so dauntingly large, it makes the original model PlayStation 3 – notoriously and unflatteringly nicknamed the “Fat PS3″ – look positively miniscule,” writes Matt Kamen for Wired.
His review of the PS5 continues: “Sadly, backwards compatibility is limited only to PlayStation 4 titles. PS5 definitely loses some points here, compared to Xbox’s near-universal compatibility with older games.
“PlayStation 5 isn’t just a bigger, better box – it really feels new and futuristic.
“Concerns over storage capacity, and disappointment over the limited scope of backwards compatibility are really the only downsides for PS5 at this point, though its sheer size may also prove a stumbling block for some – we expect many will be biding their time for a ‘PS5 Pro’ down the line, offering the same benefits in a smaller box.
“So, is the PS5 revolutionary? Not just yet – but the seeds of revolution are planted here, and, if developers make tend them well, the future should be very impressive indeed.”
