The new Sony set-top box is characterized by high performance and large dimensions. This was told by Japanese journalists and bloggers who were the first to gain access to the PS5, reports The Verge.
The publication noted that in early October, Sony invited several bloggers and media representatives to get acquainted with the device of the console and evaluate the power of the device. Most of the reviews are devoted to the appearance of the console and the games that run on it. In particular, the 4Gamer edition said that the PlayStation 5 can work both vertically and horizontally. The journalists reported that during the operation of the device they could not hear the noise of the console and notice the increased heat transfer.
The 4Gamer review also drew attention to a hidden latch hidden under the grille of the console. According to journalists, it is designed to open the device and connect an additional drive. In a material published on the website of the Dengeki Online publication, it is said that the PS5 is large in size. For clarity, the device was compared to a large TV.
The AV Watch edition has paid increased attention to the review of the new DualSense game controller. From the material it became known that the function of confirming the action on the gamepad was reassigned from the O button to the X. Journalists believe that in this regard, gamers will have to get used to the accessory again. The 4Gamer publication also showed how the DualSense color indication works.
Despite detailed material from Japanese bloggers, The Verge noted that the reviews did not show the PS5 user interface. According to their forecast, Sony will declassify images of the console's interface before the device goes on sale on November 12.
