It's more than likely a combination of the two, but my point still stands. People automatically assuming that any UI feature not demonstrated in a 10 minute reveal video in which they promised to show more later doesn't exist is patently ridiculous.
Edit: Also, I guarantee that if Sony had shown some type of quick resume in their video, the exact same people complaining about its absence now would be complaining that Sony chose to waste time in a 10 minute reveal video talking about a feature MS had already announced.
This is exactly it. It's different marketing strategies. You don't continue being a market leader by being reactionary to everything your competitor is doing. It's better to focus on your own product's unique features that haven't been talked about by other competitors lol. People just don't understand that.
Also man the UI reveal just has me so much more hyped for Sackboy. Launch purchase for me 100%.
I hadn't even thought about things like side-missions and quest logs. Seeing progress and even maybe having the ability to warp to a place in the map straight from the home screen is freaking mind-blowing. No wonder DF is saying it's a game changer.
They did and that's new on PS.
Looks like the pre-order logo.I wonder what these icons means. Play time? Quick Resume? 🤔
I really dig the UI aswell. Some really smart choices with these cards and I like how much space there is for a nice looking wallpaper in the home menu.
Or you know... Some just have different opinions about a 100% subjective matter.
The PS store should be the big One.
One of the best features of the Xbox UI and it's finally here. I like that :)And finally we have individual trophy progression tracking!
Yup All your logs are now exposed. That's the game changer. Im betting there are multiple save states for the activities so you jump in and out wherever you want And now the games now can become less about just long play throughs when you dont have time. It's total respect of your time and gives you diff things to go and accomplish.
That's the idea. If devs properly implement it... yeah, it really is a game changer.
It doesn't do that in the video, when he goes into the PS5 UI while playing Destruction Allstars it only shows that game's icon even though he never fully closed Sackboy.
I certainly like how MS makes an obvious case for people who are not aware of these things. It's welcoming for sure. But of course these buzzwords are not to be considered features but more of a mandatory.
I just want to show a pic in this tweet. Not intended to promote him or anything lol
Whats surprising is that there is no symbol beneath the game tiles on home screen to show the game is already running. On PS4 a small rotating semi circle appears but its not in the PS5 home screen.I'm not sure what the Switcher is going to be.
Like, it only shows your current-game.
The UI demo is a generational leap in features, performance and capabilities. There are so many elements to be excited for. What was shown is a great foundation for future upgrades as well. The PiP may integrate with the PS Camera in the future and allow video chat, for example.
Overall, the UI exceeded my expectations. I was expecting the UI to remain clean, but better performing. Check. The activities, PiP, friends features like joining games from parties are all incredible additions to user experience.

Oddly, I really like that they made the icons on the home screen much smaller. The PS4's chunky UI feels like it has a lot of wasted space being taken up by unnecessarily gigantic tiles.
This was so good. The activities, picture-and-picture help and share gaming. It looks clean, fast, responsive.
It's fantastic.
It's fantastic.
I realized in the UI video, Sid's friend was playing The Lost Legacy.
Was that indirectly the first official snippet of BC game being played on PS5?

Yep, first footage of PS4 BC, it is ''bad'' to see 30FPS alongside 60FPS tho :P
I've actually tried playing the video 0.25 to catch all the gameplay during the sped-up part.
It's basically an alternative school of thought between the two. Some UIs try to maximize screen space usability, others try to prioritize negative space. This new one seems to be more the latter than the former.
I'm not a huge fan of having tons of unoccupied space on screen, but this does seem like it'll make it easier for custom themes to work?
What? This isn't the thread for such discussion, so I leave it at smart Delivery isn't a buzzword. There's backend stuff going on and let's stop trying to say Sony never uses words (how I call it) to market stuff.
I think having multiple save states in one game for different activities would be a fast way to get your storage full. Whether PS has something like quick resume or not remains to be seen. But I think their activities work differently and don't save any states. They are basically shortcuts to level 4 of Crash bandicoot. Which is smart in a different way. It certainly won't take up any space, because it's not a save state.
you dont know the size of the game states though, also if they are utilizing the cloud for the saves its a quick download Or its a simple shortcut of certain game attributes which would be just a list of info. We will see more soon but if you look at the video again you can see where you can press square on Destruction all stars and it says resume.
Naughty Dog didn't even announce enhancements of their PS4 games yet, if any... 🙄
*SIGH*
Anyways, here's Guns N' Roses' Paradise City.
Still thinking about application of the cards stuff in long form traditional single player games.
I guess it can be a tracker about percent completion of sidequests such as showing how many of a certain item you need. Clicking into the card will be similar to selecting the quest from a menu and marking it as your current primary objective.
Maybe you can pin a certain quest on your questboard and a card is created for it.
Of course reloading saves should also be there in the cards. One for the most recent autosave and one (or more) for manual saves. Something like that.

Good to have you back lol. Just in time for the launch hype train!
With games cold booting in less than 8 seconds i don't give a damn about quick resume but for the people who care i hope sony don't let you down. These new UI features are absolutely amazing hopefully devs fully utilise them, I wasn't expecting much but came away completely blown away this truly is a new generation
The size of the save state would be the size of the RAM pool. Having multiple save states for one game is a bad idea and shortcuts are smarter here. That doesn't mean quick resume doesn't have it's benefit and it doesn't mean PS5 won't have something like quick resume. We just don't know yet. All I am saying is that multiple save states for one game, depending on the activities would be a major waste of space.
I never called Smart Delivery a buzzword? I think you may have misunderstood the tone of my post.
Yes, it shows the current-game who run. I am not sure to understand your question.I'm not sure what the Switcher is going to be.

We know Sackboy is in the background.
When designing interfaces it's best practice to have a lot of negative space. You need that space that can help scale and maybe stack elements according to the different resolutions especially since this was designed for 4K. How do you fit all that same information into a screen with 1080p or even 720p? That's almost 4x less the amount of pixels and space to work with to convey the same information and functionality.
Looks pretty good and just like the PS4, Sony will probably start adding more features to it once it gets mass appeal feedback.
Guess that takes care of today's drop - which means more shadow State of the Play drops in the upcoming weeks for Godfall, Demon's Souls, Destruction All-Stars, more info on Create button, the UI customize icon, BC with the PS+ Collection games

DF Direct: PlayStation 5 User Interface Reaction - Is This A Next-Gen Game-Changer?
John and Rich got an early preview of the latest Sony State of Play, which reveals the brand new user interface and its many new features. So what are these ...
youtu.be
Seem like it. My apologies then.
I see myself using the hell out of the cards. Like just think about it. You are playing GOW2, you have 4 side quests available to do, I don't have to boot up the game, load my last save, and pick a side quest... I can just pick the sidequest from the game control center and it takes me right to where my last save was with the side quest marker loaded already.
Now think about Racing games, fighting games...etc.This is basically what the cards system is about. Why boot up a game and go through menus when the shortcuts to where you want to go can be integrated into the system and the SSD means you get right to where you want to be as fast as possible.
Don'tgetme wrong, I don't think quick resume is silly...I think its a feature that is obviously in the PS5. And that people are silly to think its not. Especially after seeing the cards thing. What they have shown is the equivalent of a quick resume on steroids. If they can have you jumping in and out of different parts/modes of different games, then obviously a quick resume is a given and child play in comparison.
I believe this happens when you're playing a disc version of the game, basically it's giving you the option to also purchase the game digitally.I wonder if Sid is playing games's demo because you can see there is a price in order to access to the full game. And the trophies you got can be transferred in the full game?
Not really, it does not need to use ram If you have certain things to remember. You could literally think of resume here as looking at that activity and just saving the players position(coordinates)in the game and since the console can load fast you can load all the attributes of the player in that moment in time. It does not need to be a ram dump.
I don't really like the whole "Activity" thing, if I want to see which trophies I'm missing, I'll go to see in the trophy tab.
Globally, I'm not a big fan of this new UI, and they haven't shown the PS Store that is the worst part of the PS4 User Experience right now...

Speaking of side quest, I imagine we now don't have to worry about missables anymore. Since we can pop open the control panel and see what side quests are available at that point in time. They might also be able to make it area specific. If there's a hidden one then we can start searching for it or just look at the built in guide. My OCD dreams come true lol.
It's kinda funny that on the UI thread some people find it busy while others too empty. It's also interesting that the narrative has magically shifted to "PS5 doesn't have Quick resume". At least we are now done with the "PS5 has no UI" narrative...
Yeah, UI scaling having to account for TVs like mine makes sense. Because fuck buying a 4K TV.
