Video just got posted showing the PS5 UI. Looks really nice and minimalistic in the traditional Playstation way. Really love how the SSDs in these new consoles allows the UI to move around so fast and it’s a cool feature to actually be showing the game always running in the background when in the game dash view (not sure what to call it lol). PiP is also a nice feature that I miss from the early Xbox One days. Sadly doesn’t look like there’s any type of game swapping feature like quick resume. We probably won’t see more until launch but I like it overall.
Overall this looks like a good UI. I would have liked to see more things loading. The loading was fast but it doesn’t seem like it supports a quick resume-like feature so that’s a little disappointing.
Looks fine-- I’m not really partial to Sony’s UI design overall, though their startup sequences are always so slick looking. I just fired up my PS3 the other day, that orchestra sound at startup, pure class.
You see sony like 99% of your customers have these things called smartphones, which is better then having 2 windows on a console.
As for everything else they showed im not that impressed, the cards just seem like unnecessary fluff and they didn’t show how quick it was to switch between games and how many games can be suspended on the SSD.
In order to use a smartphone you have to drop the gamepad. You can’t use both at the same time. The point o PiP is to let something playing in the background while you play the game. This is a useful feature that Xbox should bring back.
At the same time, I don’t know why they would exclude such a big feature as Quick Resume from their walkthrough here. Maybe it is not ready and will come after launch, or they have something different.
i like the design language, looks clean. The content on the other hand? The first tile is an publisher ad and the ‘challenges’ look like my scrum board at work
Its fine - its quite fussy for my taste - a lot going on - and I’m not sure how much of it I’d use. But they are clearly looking to try and catch up on community and social features.
