PS4 or PS5 version?

Which version is the best? The PS5 version seems buggy. It does unwanted control things. Like before I couldn't turn for 2 seconds, no response to my right stick input. And seems to do other weird things, like switching weapons or punch, without giving it this particular input.

On the other hand, haven't had any spawn failures on Control. Not that it matters much as shield regen still isn't back. It gets so tiring running and healing half the game 😒

  • @CCbathwater Easily the ps5 version for me. It looks so much better and you gain 20 fps withoutframe drops over the old one. I assume the spawn bug is a lobby thing as everyone has it when it happens.

    @hayhor Yeah, okay. Haven't had those crazy control issues again. Literally have no idea what it was about. Didn't have red icons or lag, and still the controls didn't respond properly that one game.

    Still haven't had spawn failure though.

    Despite the so called 'next gen upgrade' promised graphically there isn't much of a difference between the PS4 & PS5 versions to call it that tbh.I think it comes down to which controller you prefer to play Apex with the PS4 or the PS5 one,I generally find the PS5 both a little heavy & clunky but can at times be a little over-sensitive &I  have completely different control settings on the PS4 & PS5.That being said I prefer playing Apex on the PS5 though but my 2 nephews prefer the PS4 version as the controller is lighter to play with.

    Regarding the old melee hit whilst shooting thing with the PS5 controller it happens to me quite often annoyingly & I think it's always been bug in the game. PS5 controllers despite the hefty price tag just don't have a long shelf life when used frequently & just feel shoddily made.It took about 4 months before a brand new official PS5 controller I bought developed terrible stick drift & was completely unusable.I went through 10 PS4 controllers where either the triggers buttons broke or joysticks developed stick drift &so  I just can't believe how poorly made both PS4 & PS5 controllers are.I still have in possession the original PS1 & PS2 with controllers which are as robust as anything & still work perfectly.
