DF: PlayStation 5 User Interface Tour: Examining The New Menu System
- Thread starter TheRealTalker
- Start date
Audio Format Priority, there is an option for DTS or Dolby, if you leave in on Linear PCM does that not just make it automatic? Seems odd to have to switch back and forth.
Also a multi-account user, I'm glad to see they seem to pull games from all accounts into the library. I would always forget where I bought particular games of PS4 and would have to go digging through various accounts, logging in and out, it was a pain.
I've seen it mentioned before and John said it it too that the menu is in HDR. Does this mean the system is always sending out an HDR signal, kind of how Apple TV was doing it? I'm hoping it'll switch back to SDR for SDR games because my tv has very different settings for each mode.
Enjoyed his video and he took his time to explain different stuff. I like the UI design and some of the new features, even though he didn't really show them. :)
It's definitely to early to judge, but it seems like this is missing lots of features the PS4 had, which is unfortunate. I already hated this about PS4 and Xbox One back in the day.
People wanted a new UI/OS for that next gen moment and that's the downside. Stuff like folders and me now knowing how to develop is the reason I am team #keepTheOS and just enhance it. I haven't seen a video with the cool community feature of the PS4 either.

Yep, just to be able to copy them to the cold storage. Saves massively on bandwidth and depending on your connection and what drive you use to save the game on, is significantly faster than downloading the game again.

really hope not! I figure this time they would add updates to the UI faster since this is based on the ps4 OS with improvements.
Maybe this is why they also kept silent for so long about their UI, it's missing key features that were available on Ps4 and they didn't want backlash so soon.
Is this the first time that a web browser has been confirmed for the PS5? Its the first time that i've seen it being shown/confirmed at least (shown in one of the settings menu). Good news for me, i use the PS4 web browser quite a bit, especially for Youtube.
Honest question, what was the issue with this? Besides curiousity reasons (wanting to see what the PS5 UI etc. looked like). Or do you just mean that its something that could be acknowledged in the regards that it was fair enough that people wanted to see this information earlier? If so, i see your point and i agree that its fair enough to want to see this earlier, even if its just for being curious about how the PS5 will be.
When were they silent for 6 months? They revealed new info almost every month.
That's news to me. What's with Sony and their lack of support for this feature?
Hopefully it comes out soon for both the PS5 and the X900H
I think the ui is really slick. It can be improved, but feels fresh but familiar, also the game section seems similar to switch as already mentioned, not bad as long they allow further updates like folders (i find it difficult to integrate elegantly with the current icon distribution)
I'm curious about this myself and have asked Dark1x for analysis. Perhaps the PS5 does this behind the scenes without presenting a user option?
Also, RE7 natively supersamples for 1080p displays.
How come you don't use the YouTube app?
I hope you can change that too. I can't even watch Netflix on my Xbox or PS4 because of that HDR container. First thing I disabled on my Apple TV 4K.
Yeah, this is shit, and will make me disable HDR completely unless playing a game that uses it. If this is true it's a terrible decision.
Look up recency bias.
Now that we have news everyone is all gravy. Sure I am happy like you all I mean we now have constant news but its because its November. We are 1 week away from launch. People joked Sony would do this and they did lol.
But yea after their Feb Cerny talk we bare got jack. It was an unbearable period of time for all of us that wanted some semblance of the console. We weren't even asking for game drops, just anything. I mean MS had revealed the SX by last December.
(Were the Wired post and gdc thing that different?) It seem seemed like forever until we got some details on June. But it would take until late October to get further info as well so we have been waiting for a lot of things up until now.
I guess it doesn't matter now (again recency bias) but compared to PS4, we were held like a bunch of wet noodles for such a long time.
the amount of water carrying for Sony omissions on this forum is frankly embarrassing. Corporations are not your friend for the 3452nd time.
If you are paying 499 bucks, expect better for features that are actually listed on the box. Hopefully my PS5 plays well with my Sony DN1080 receiver which has major problems with hdmi switching; dont want to have it compounded with PS5 hdmi weirdness on top

You don't need to disable your account on PS4 to use it on PS5 : https://stevivor.com/features/in-depth/ps5-console-sharing-offline-play-new-primary-ps4-system/
It seems the PS5 is recognized as another system
One thing that I noticed was when he started up Miles Morales, it loaded instantly because he already had it up and running, similar to the way you can return to the home screen on PS4 and leave a game running in the background.
But I didn't see any kind of indication that the game was running like that? Nothing that pointed it out and would allow you to close the game like you could with PS4? Or does it just always keep your last game in memory until you play something else?

People are going to enjoy this thing a lot.
The QoL improvements are great. Yes, I'm aware of things that will be improved. Appreciate the greatness though.

Yeah, screw that. I have no idea why he (and DF?) seem to think this is a good idea. Accuracy should come above everything.
Mark Cerny talk was in March. They revealed the controller in April. Revealed the box in June. Another showcase in September. Revealed the UI in October. There was the teardown and box art and others minor reveals in between. Where's the 6 months of silence you're talking about?
We need a PSA on this. I had to idea and randomly read this here.
I asked him to confirm it on Twitter. Once we get something more concrete, from someone who has a PS5, I don't mind starting a thread.
The only reason for changing this is so that people don't have their TVs flash between SDR and HDR so often but Sony should have an option in the settings.
Weird, I played through and finished RE7 for the first time a few months ago and it wasn't natively downsampling then. Screenshots with system SS set to on look notably sharper in comparison and the fan kicks in, System SS set to off and fan is near silent. This was v1.06, maybe they've patched it since I played.
FFS Sony!! How hard is to keep in basic functionality like folders. How long will we have to wait to get back folders? Years??
Yeah, no indicator. You can close games just like on PS4 with a press of the Options button and then "Close application", I saw that in another video. Also interesting to note: PS5 games don't have changelogs anymore in the UI.
Don't like that it seems to be the exact same file format and managing with a ps5 skin and a few new cool features like activity's that hopefully get used ?
the lack of any cold storage option and VRR just seem a ridiculous Thing to leave out I assume it's easily patched ?
giant bomb video mentioned how the "copying" is still a thing too when moving things around and patching although a lot quicker- does this also mean the needing way more space to download something than is actually needed is still a thing?

Agreed. And after a few years (maybe 3 or 4) it wound up mainly being just stability updates. It'd be nice to see continuous improvements instead.
It seems that game has 2 ways of downsampling... at 1080p it downsamples from 2240x1260, and I guess if you force downsampling it will downsample from the 1800p checkboard. The game does natively downsample though, this game just happens to downsample different depending if you force downsample or not. I've never seen any other game do this, so its interesting.
from VG tech " The PS4 Pro when outputting at 2160p renders at a resolution of 3200x1800 using what appears to be a form of checkerboard rendering. When outputting at 1080p the PS4 Pro version downsamples from a native resolution of 2240x1260 to 1920x1080. The PS4 Pro when outputting at 2160p has noticeably worse depth of field than the PS4 Pro outputting at 1080p."
One thing I wish for is a better organization of the library. It seems they still put game demos and Alpha/Beta versions in there. I would like a filter for that stuff like full games, demos, betas. John mentioned at 2:47 that games that have been played from disk, but are not currently installed, show up in the library as well. Hopefully you can delete them, otherwise you will end up with a huge library of non-existent games when you sell physical games after playing.
I'm also wondering if PS4's "Hide Item" option is still available on PS5, where you could click Options on a game in the library and hide that.
I also wish they would put stuff like PS+, media gallery and Remote Playing somewhere else instead of in the Games tab. Maybe a separate Apps tab in addition to Games and Media?

It's largely fine, inoffensive UI. Not a fan of hwo some new elements like activity cards are displayed, it looks cluttered and way too confusing. Party management is still a mess too.
Did we ever find out if PS5 has something akin to Quick Resume, in that it can be used for multiple titles?
