◆ Size comparison with other game consoles
Set up to actually play. Xbox Series X was also placed on the desk where the editorial department's game machine was placed. It looks like this when lined up, and PlayStation 5 is about twice as big.
Comparing the widths, PlayStation 5 is slightly thinner.
I also put it side by side with the previous generation PlayStation 4 ( CUH-1000 ). PlayStation 5 is about 1.5 times taller, but PlayStation 4 is slightly wider horizontally.
The width is clearly higher for PlayStation 5.

The following movie is a picture of the state of PlayStation 5 when starting up. Compared to the Xbox Series X, which emphasizes quietness, the fan noise is still louder. However, it is not loud enough to interfere with the game.

Select 'Continue' to update the system software.

At the stage of displaying the home of PlayStation 5 and PlayStation Store, it is already moving faster than PlayStation 4. In particular, the PlayStation Store, which displays game package images and detailed information, is often slow and unsatisfactory on PlayStation 4, but on PlayStation 5, it works lightly and images and information are displayed instantly. stress-free. In the movie below, you can see Home, the PlayStation Store, and check the streaming service apps that you can watch on PlayStation 5.
In addition, when I shot the temperature of PlayStation 5 about 20 minutes after startup with FLIR ONE , the surface temperature was about 30 degrees. The room temperature is 25 degrees, the humidity is about 22%, and it's about 'warm enough'. Rather, the Xbox Series X placed next to it has a higher temperature for some reason even though it is powered off.
◆ I tried playing the pre-installed 'ASTRO's PLAYROOM'
PlayStation 5 has a game called 'ASTRO's PLAYROOM' preinstalled, and you can check the features of PlayStation 5 even if you have not purchased the launch title game. So, I actually played it.
At ASTRO's PLAYROOM, you can experience various functions of 'DualSense Wireless Controller' which is the controller of PlayStation 5.
vibration
Adaptive trigger
touch pad
motion sensor
microphone. The touchpad and motion sensor were also installed in the PlayStation 4's DualShock 4, but the vibration that is completely different from the vibration so far, the adaptive trigger that gives a feeling to the L2 / R2 trigger, and the microphone that can input voice by default is a new feature.
The main character is ASTRO-kun, who is familiar with the PSVR game '
At first glance it seems like an ordinary action ... ...
Hold down the □ button to grab the cable that appears in the dark, then push the directional key back and pull it out...
A vibration called gugugugu is transmitted to the hand. It's not just trembling, it's a realistic vibration that reproduces the feel of pulling a rope.
And I arrived at 'CPU Plaza'
Cooling fans around ... ...
There is a huge gate reminiscent of the inside of PlayStation 5, such as GPU.
I tried entering the storage SSD.
You can see what kind of game it actually is in the following movie.
Where you get on the spaceship and close it with a zipper ......
Lightly swipe your finger on the touchpad. Then, the vibration is transmitted to the hand and the feeling that the zipper is caught in the hand.
The spaceship booster is ignited by pressing the L2 and R2 triggers.
Up until now, the trigger hadn't caught at all and I was able to push it in smoothly, but in this scene, the trigger suddenly became heavy and I was surprised to find that I had to apply a lot of force to pull it out.
When you push it in, the boosters on both sides of the spacecraft ignite.
The gurgling booster vibrations are felt through the trigger rather than the grip of the controller.
Also, in the scene where the gun is shot continuously as shown below, the trigger vibrates with Popopopo ... according to the timing of firing the bullet.
When avoiding obstacles on a spaceship ......
By changing the tilt of the controller, you can control the direction of the spacecraft properly.
Below is how you actually ride the spaceship and defeat the boss on the SSD stage. Each stage has a motif of the PlayStation series so far, and after defeating the boss, you will hear a familiar startup sound.
If you press the PS button during the game to display the home, the stage progress and achievements will be displayed. Achievements can also be used as gameplay goals, and people who care about achievements may want to see them while playing, so I felt that it was very convenient to have easy access to achievement information. .
Also, if the game is compatible, it is possible to redo another stage or see hints based on the progress. However, hints cannot be seen unless you register for PlayStation Plus.
When I was playing the game for about 40 minutes like this, I was worried about the heat of PlayStation 5. The temperature on the side was slightly higher, but ...
The area around the vents on the back exceeded 50 degrees, and I felt a lot of heat when I held my hand over it.
◆ I tried to see how PlayStation 4 software can be played on PlayStation 5
As of October 2020, the PlayStation official announced that `
When I put the disc in the drive, the installation started and I was able to play.
Below is where I actually played Bloodborne with 4K HDR. I am able to play without problems. An editorial staff member who has already played Bloodborne commented that ``Bloodborne originally had a fairly long load, but it is obviously faster.''

◆Summary
When I actually touched the PlayStation 5, the first thing I felt was the overwhelming loading speed. As soon as I pressed the button, the game started up quickly, and the game loaded quickly. Of course, by playing with 4K image quality, small letters and patterns are easier to read, and the effects are very beautiful.
Also, what impressed me most when playing ASTRO's PLAYROOM was how the vibration of the controller made the production very rich. Various vibrations were transmitted to the hands according to the game scene, and I felt that the playing experience was deeper. It is unknown how far the new controller's functions, such as adaptive triggers and microphone input, will be compatible with PlayStation 5 software, but it can be said that the feeling of immersion in the game has clearly increased.
In addition, PlayStation 4 games are easier to play with improved loading. It's a nice point that you can start and play from home with the same feeling as a PlayStation 5 game, and by transferring data from PlayStation 4, save data so far will not be wasted.
However, in order to bring out the PlayStation 5's 4K HDR/maximum 120fps or 8K resolution graphics performance, you need not only HDMI 2.1 or higher standards, but also compatible monitors and TVs, so be careful.
