They should call it the Jim Ryan OS.The PS5 UI feels super sterile and corporate to me. I honestly don't know why, I mean I prefer the steam interface, and that literally is built as a storefront that also happens to launch games. The only thing I like about it the PS5 UI is the snappiness, which is probably a function of the SSD integration more than anything else.
Goes to show how different the priorities can be between players. The absolute last thing I want to see is a bunch of information about what people other than me are up to.
The PS5 UI is missing a ton of features and functionality, but the feeling of privacy and the cleanliness of the aesthetic is what I'd call its strongest feature. No bull shit - just your games and what you want to do.
The XMB was the best. All it needed was better sort options for the library (no alphabetical, really?)Honestly the PS3 UI feels like it had the most attention to detail put into it
Like me. My friends aren't playing video games so, yes, PS5 is a solitary exeperience for me.But I don't do multiplayer and trophies are a distraction I don't want.
When I push the PS button it takes like 2 second to open the control menu...
This. As much as I have no problem with the overall UI, everything about control menu is completly undercooked and slow.I find it quite nice.
The only thing that I miss is faster way to put the console into rest mode.
chill
No, not everything. Just few things.This. As much as I have no problem with the overall UI, everything about control menu is completly undercooked and slow.
exactly.It's a terrible UI all around.
It's like everything I want to do with it takes more steps than it should. Viewing trophies for the current game I'm playing is an awful experience. I have to go on my profile, then trophies, then select the game. Why? Viewing the trophies list for the current game should be immediately available from the home menu. The card-based list of trophies is also horrible and provides less information at one glance than a good old fashioned vertical list would.
Putting the console in Rest Mode is the most likely thing I'm about to do at any time I'm using the console, and for this I have to press the Home button, wait around 2 seconds for the menu to appear (why is there a delay at all?), navigate all the way to power options, then choose Rest Mode, then accept. Like holy shit this should be as simple as holding the home button for 3 seconds and DONE.
I really hope they gather user feedback and try to address it in future updates. For how much time they spent hyping up the fact that they were optimizing it down to microsecond delays, they sure haven't taken any time to focus on actual usability or have any actual gamers play test it for any decent amount of time. Those issues would have popped right up!
I don't know why they'd remove such a useful function. Like that's something MS should have adopted, not get dropped by SonyCan't even see patch notes or history of patches lmao
what the fuck are they doing
This still boggles my mind
4 months in and I still hold the PlayStation button down and then wonder where the fuck the power off option is.
After 13(+) years of that being the way to turn off a PlayStation (or Xbox) it's really difficult to get used to just the short press and then navigating to the icons at the bottom.
This! I don't get it at all! It always boggled my mind when I go into it.The game hub confuses the hell out of me. Why does it show old parties before all my friends?
The vanilla Xbox One UI in 2013 was a mess. How far we have come š
Sony always removes features for their UI in their new hardware and then bring it back afew years down the line. It's how they like to "add new features" to their UI.
