Hello everyone it's SpawnPoiint and welcome back to another video so it's been 9 months
since the playstation 5 launched and it's been an awesome console with some incredible games already
released but there are some areas that still need improving and even after nine months some
features are still completely missing so whether or not you're one of the lucky ones who's managed
to get one or you're still trying to secure one see if you agree with my points in today's video
or if i've missed any make sure you drop those in the comments so first up and probably one of
the most requested and missed features on the ps5 and that's the lack of support for 1440p
at the moment the ps5 only supports 1080p or 4k so if you're using a 1440p monitor which generally
speaking a lot of people will be you'll have to select the 1080p option and upscale from there
it will look fine but if the ps5 could support 1440p well it will be that sweet spot for most
there's a feature that will come and hopefully one that we'll see very soon okay so this next one was
a missing feature until only a couple of days ago however it's still not technically available to
the public and it could be some time before it is so we know that playstation 5 comes with a
one terabyte drive with less than 700 gigabytes of usable space so you can use an external ssd
to store your playstation 4 and your playstation 5 games on although you cannot play your playstation
5 games from that external drive we also know there's an internal expansion bay that sony
within the last couple of days have confirmed we'll be making available for beta testers
now the availability and prices of these internal ssds that meet those minimum requirements will
be the biggest restrictions along with when this will actually be available to the public
so it's great to see that sony nearly nine months later are looking to enable this internal bay but
it would have been awesome if they announced it with their own drive now the option to add at
least one to two terabytes for those playstation 5 games is pretty important now and something i
would personally benefit from plus as more ps5 games are launching and generally speaking those
games are getting larger you don't want to have to keep deleting games to make room for new ones
i'm looking at you call of duty so at the moment there's no way to really customize the playstation
5's home screen or the dashboard the background does change based on the game that you hover over
but that's pretty much it it's definitely not custom to you so it would be nice to be able
to either add your own photo or wallpaper or even the option to install themes based on the games or
things you like now this was a feature that was on the playstation 4 so we regularly see new themes
added from playstation based on maybe events or games that were being released and generally
speaking we all like to customize our phones laptops and consoles to feel more personal to us
so the playstation 4 had these and it's a real shame that we don't see it on the ps5 and that's
folders so as we add more and more games to the library there's no real way of organizing it other
than by date and size it would be great to be able to use folders for games that you're currently
playing or multiplayer games or even different family members so the playstation 4 did this
pretty well and it's definitely a feature that i would like to see back as i personally used it
for my children's and my own games now this next feature on the playstation 5 is missing but not
everybody will benefit from it and that's vrr or variable refresh rate so generally speaking games
on consoles are locked to a frame rate let's say 60 frames per second but with the option to allow
a variable refresh rate it means we'll definitely see less screen tearing stuttering or even latency
issues pc gamers will be aware of this feature as will the xbox zeros x and the s owners as both of
those consoles do support that now you would need a tv that has hdmi 2.1 to see this benefit but
from my experience on the xbox zeros x it works really really well now the playstation 5 will get
vrr it's just a matter of time possibly they'll wait until there's more games available that will
support the higher frame rate okay so this next one which for me is a big one so if you currently
pay for playstation plus you'll obviously get access to the free monthly games usually two or
three games each month and if you subscribe to ps now where you get access to the full library
of games which are they're okay so the playstation 5 does need a service that is comparable to game
pass something that gives us the option to play all the new playstation exclusives on day one
now i know most will say they'd rather pay for the game outright and purchase it and own it
rather than renting it which is essentially what you do on game pass but for me it allows me to
play games i would not normally buy and i would happily pay game pass prices for a sony equivalent
now we know that the ps5 supports sony's tempest 3d audio but the ps5 is missing something for
both video and audio and that's dolby atmos and dolby vision so if you've got a tv that supports
either of these you'll know how good they look and sound so if and when sony answers to the ps5 it
will make a huge difference not just for gaming but for movers as well hopefully it's something
that we'll see added in the future as personally i think it will make a great addition so next up
is picture in picture now some tvs already support this as well as apple tv but it would be awesome
if the ps5 did too imagine being able to play a game full screen and have a small window that
you could move around with a different app you could have a walkthrough video up on youtube or
live stream from a sport that you're watching now i know there are some workarounds with the explore
tab have been able to show youtube at the same time but i believe this is limited to the us at
the moment but being able to see native apps while your gaming would be an awesome feature so the ps5
was designed with these removable plates which i've already replaced with some black ones from
dbrand now the only real downside is that you lose that playstation logo the cutout on the side as
the obviously are not official i think it's only a matter of time before sony offered their own
versions but i think it would be great to see a themed exclusive or limited edition ones just like
we saw on the playstation 4. now we've already seen two colors of the controllers we've had the
cosmic red and we've had the midnight black so i wouldn't be surprised if we hopefully see plates
later this year and if sony did release a themed plate what sort of gaming theme would you go for
so i definitely want to see a social feed or the old playstation 4 community tab added onto
the playstation 5. somewhere that shows you what your friends are playing what trophies
they've recently got or any updates that they post i know most people probably didn't use or
even see the community tab on the playstation 4. but it was a feed that worked like twitter and
instagram it had a timeline that you could see what your friends were up to it made everything
feel that little bit more social and engaging so hopefully this is something that we could see
added to the ps5 in the future i think it will be a really really nice addition so the playstation
5 needs a browser seeing as most people use their console as their central media hub for gaming and
streaming it makes sense to have a browser too now we know that the playstation 4 had this feature
and there is actually a setting on the playstation 5 that suggests it should have a browser already
there are workarounds for getting the browser to work on the playstation 5 such as sending
a url via a message or a party chat but we need a native browser app to be able to search google or
visit normal websites it's a feature that i think most people would like to see added whether or not
you're using it via your tv or not so the ps5 has a game switcher which allows you to switch
between the different games you're playing but it's not quite as good as xbox as quick resume
so we need to be able to switch between games and resume from the exact point that we left it
the ps5 is rapid at loading games up but if we jump straight back into the level or the pull
screen where we last left it that would be awesome now the xbox handles this perfectly so if you load
up a game and then you instantly swap between this game and a previous game it will load up to the
exact point where you last that now this is useful because it means you don't have to go to the load
screen you don't have to load your game save you don't have to press start you just go straight
into that game whereas on the playstation 5 well it's more kind of like a most recently played tab
so you can just flick between the different games available so the ps5 supports a huge
library of ps4 games via backwards compatibility pretty much any game that you have on the ps4
will work there's only a very small list of games listed on the sony's website that don't
but i really want to see ps3 ps2 and even ps1 games supported i mean sure we're talking about a
playstation 5 here from 2020 and most people don't want to play a 10 or 20 year old game but even on
the playstation 4 i still downloaded old ps2 games like bully it would be awesome if we could see the
entire previous backwards compatibility catalog on the playstation 5. there are so many more games i
would love to replay but i don't have the ps2 to play it are there any games on the playstation 1
2 or 3 that you would still like to play on the ps5 today regardless of the graphics
if anyone uses a third-party bluetooth headset with the playstation 5 you'll know that it
requires that little dongle to be plugged into the console the playstation 5 needs to be able to
support the option to have these headsets natively connect without that dongle it's not a big one but
it would definitely eliminate a usb port being used up or sticking out the front of your console
there's obviously a technical reason behind that i don't know what that answer is maybe one of you
can tell me but it would definitely be useful if every headset that was produced whether it was a
third party or not could be used without a usb dongle and this one which isn't really an issue
in my setup it doesn't personally affect me but it could definitely do with being smaller obviously
this would require a redesign but i think for most the playstation 5 is probably too big for a
console especially something that's just going to sit under your tv or on your desk hopefully we'll
see a slim version in the future and obviously that will cater for this and it'll bring that
size down okay so here's a bonus one something i think we could all agree on we need more stock
seriously it's been nine months and there's still a massive stock issue for this console so i asked
this question over on instagram a few days ago and these were the responses that i received now
most confirmed what i was already thinking but there were a few new ones here that i'd
not thought about being in stock was definitely one of the most popular choices so these were all
of the points that i think the ps5 could do with improving on are there any here that you agree or
disagree with or are there any that i've missed that you really think i should have added so it
doesn't need to be software either it could be a hardware feature that we see in the next version
of the playstation 5 pro well you've made it to the end of the video so thank you for watching if
you drop a ps5 with a blue heart in the comments i will give you a thumbs up for making it to the end
