Introduction to PS5 - The Future of Gaming Amazon Prime Video Review

 

I decided to do something a little different for my review here. Instead of discussing movies or TV series -- I decided to discuss the next generation video game console -- the PS5 as depicted on Amazon Prime video. If you are curious about the PS5 -- you may want to check out my review to find out additional information about this system or maybe just to satisfy your curiosity.

 

Format of PS5 -- The Future of Gaming -- An Amazon Prime Video Review

 

When I started watching this free video on Amazon Prime Video, I was perplexed as to what was going on. Without so much as an introduction or narrative, various PS4 video games began playing. I thought maybe I had clicked on the wrong prime video since there was no mention of the PS5 in the first few frames.

 

However, my patience paid off. After watching cinematic gameplays from several PS4 games, there were segway transition imageries before a picture of the PS5 controller appears.  At that point, I settled down and determined I had indeed clicked on the correct prime video.

 

 

Sequence of Video Games Shown on the PS5 -- The Future of Gaming Video

 

In hindsight, I think it was a good idea as a marketing tool for Sony to begin the PS5 video with sort of a run-down or recap of some of the current PS4 video games.  It’s possible that people who have the PS4 do not have some of the games that were shown -- including myself.  In that vein, showing the PS4 video games was a way to advertise games that are already available for the PS4.

 

Transitions Between Content in the PS5 - The Future of Gaming Video

 

Sony sets a relaxing mood, in my opinion, by displaying slow motion images between each of the segments.  For example, prior to transitioning to video games that will be available for the PS5, you will see creative images of the PlayStation symbols -- all different from each other as each segment is introduced.

 

 

PS5 Games as Introduced on the PS5 - The Future of Gaming Video

 

Personally, I am a fan of role-playing or RPG video games even though I play other type games as well. You may like RPGs also. Consequently,  I was interested in the variety of role-playing games that will  be available for play on the brand new, state of the art, futuristic  PS5 video game console.

 

In accordance with my expectations -- Sony did not disappoint. Some of the role playing games that were shown included Project Athia, Kena: Bridge of Spirits, and Horizon Forbidden West.There were other games shown; however, these RPGs stood out for me.

 

As a disclaimer --  Some of the video games displayed will not be available for purchase until 2021 or 2022.  Still, it was interesting to watch gameplays for current and upcoming video games for the PS5.

 

Drum Roll...Finally...The Appearance - Visual of the PS5 Video Game Console System

 

You will have to wait for it, but eventually, after watching the colorful and exciting video gameplays, it appears.  When I say "it"-- I’m referring to the next generation PlayStation -- The PS5. Instead of someone describing the features of the PS5 -- the video showed the Playstation 5 from various different angles while at the same time displaying some of the new capabilities that will be available.

 

By the way, I’m in the process of writing an ebook on one of the new features of the PS5. This feature has not gotten much press but my ebook should give it more visibility from an audio standpoint.  The feature is 3D audio which will be available for the PS5. Suffice it to say, I was glad to see that 3D audio was listed as one of the attributes of the new PS5 during the PS5 - The Future of Gaming Amazon prime video.

 

 

Assessment of PS5 - The Future of Gaming Video

 

Needless to say, I was impressed by this Amazon prime video, but there was a negative. Specifically, I think the PS5 video could have been just a tad shorter if the developers, publishers etc. were somehow pictured briefly at the top of their particular game screens -  instead of having whole scenes devoted to them. Most  of them just introduced  themselves and all said similar statements such as  “I can’t wait for you to experience  (name of video game here).”

 

However, this was a minor annoyance and overall I appreciated the creativity and imagination that went into this video. Even more importantly, I believe that Sony delivered a top notch video depicting the fascinating technical capabilities of the PS5 as well as its equally impressive add-ons or peripheral equipment. 

 

To Sony, I would like to say a meaningful -- “Well done.”

 

Note:This Amazon prime video did not mention a release date for the PS5.  Months later after this video, we now know that the release date for the PS5 will be November 12, 2020 in the U.S.

 

Rating of PS5 The Future of Gaming

 

Based on a rating of 1 star to 5 stars with 5 stars being the highest, I rate Amazon Prime Video --  PS5 The Future of Gaming -- 5 stars.
