Man, the Activity cards are such a great idea. Really wish they were around when I got super into Sniper Elite 4 this year and started replaying levels to pick up secrets and bonuses. would have been handy to have a nice frictionless progression/task list right in front of me with hints if I needed it.
(Also, Sackboy does it but I hope other devs using the hint system actually do progressive hints. (e.g. Hint one: "the thingy isn't at ground level", Hint two: "check the rooftops", Hint three: "look buddy, it's on THIS roof and here's a walkthrough video")
(Also also: pleasantly surprised we're not getting a bunch of HINTS BEHIND THE PS+ PAYWALL? SONY GOING ALL PAY TO WIN!!! discourse)

I would imagine Google will bring consoles up to the current Google TV UI, which is pretty much the same when it comes to picking videos but looks a little nicer while the player itself is vastly improved from a UX experience in that it surfaces just the channel icon, the CC icon, and - thank god - the resolution icon above the playback bar, with everything else hidden behind the "more" icon to the left of the three important ones. Much more minimalist, much easier to work with.
One of the things I hate the most: The missing "resolution button". Yeah, make it easier to work with. Hope Google can finally make a good app for consoles.
It's similar to ps4 allocation apparently so whatever that amount is
I'm hoping you can put save files as one (or many) of the activity cards, and you can just select them and play right away.
Actually, correction, the lineup goes "Channel, CC, More" but now you click more and it's directly on the resolution button. Which is weird because last week I swear it was the way I described, lol. Oh, Google.
John Linneman from DF said that neither XB1X or XBSX has a 4K-rendered UI overlay (Typefaces and images are rendered at 1080p). Surprised me too.
(to be fair, the PS4 Pro's 4K UI often dropped down to 1080p depending on what application was active)
Just give me the same features I have on my PC. And make it easier to use. Win Win.
No, I didn't notice. Is it the shadows? I haven't seen ray-tracing in person yet, so I can't tell what's screen space reflection & what's ray-tracing.
Yeah, they updated some stuff lately. Looks like they added new shit to the desktop YT page, too. Now I see some shit like "Apple, Podcasts, etc." icons on top of the page. Hate it.
When you live in a country with constant power outages leaving the console on rest mode all the time is possible xD. In your case if not something that you'll need or miss much but to me the idea of being on a difficult level and changing to another game or turning off the console without losing any progress sounds pretty neat.
Sigh... just when I thought we were done... now the hype and wait cycle stars ll over again.

For example, If PS4 could have quick resume as work in Xbox Series X|S, I would be playing RE3 (I know the game has automatic saves but they only trigger in certain monents), changing to Tony Hawk, later to Persona 5 (where saves are limited during dungeon explorations) and finally returning to RE3.
If the PS5 have a quick resume system and if you consider the feature to go certain places of the game directly, both features would be quite amazing experience. It would be even better If you can have a have matching tools in the background for multiplayer games and they be working while you play other games, and when a match can be initiated "stop" the game (thanks to quick resume) and go fast to the match, returning later to the other game until another match can be initiated.
I only use Youtube on my PC, which is connected to my TV :P
There's accurate (and wildly goofy looking because of how rounded the surfac is) reflections in the bubbles, is what I assume is being referenced here.
At this point I have so many annoying pieces of YouTube adblocked on desktop I never know how bad things are unless I load up an incognito window for whatever reason.
I just hope the sheer endless amount of ads goes down once election season is over, every time I use the Apple TV or just my regular TV's app it's like "oh god" because it's almost every single video click I make
and so the cycle of hype begins anew
(as we all knew would happen, as soon as they showed the UI people were already clamoring for the next thing lol)
they've got a good potential roadmap ahead of them. 1 State of Play like this each week before launch would be great.
please tell them it's adorable. the style is really solidly executed.

Main disadvantage for screen space reflection is it can only reflect what's on screen.
*edit* you can clearly see this here:
I use uBlock Origin on Youtube and I still see that weird thing on top of the page now. It's part of the YT UI as it looks like. Hate it.
Looking at this again, I could see PS5 games completely eschewing designing in-game menus and instead just having a whole bunch of metadata driven activity cards.
There are other benefits too
eg. if photo mode is baked into the OS/UI of the system then each developer doesn't need to waste hours of dev time re-implementing their own version of it.
I can see certain game devs using the activity cards to troll players with "incorrect" hints, making a metagame within the activity cards (going through activity cards in certain order unlocks a hidden set of activities etc.)
There is *so much scope* for interesting interactions here and potentially slimming down game sizes and making game dev easier / less work.
The more I think about it the more ideas I have.

The bubbles have ray traced reflection. Watch it at 0.25 speed and you can see the reflections. Especially Sack Boy reflection on the last three.
Overall, every bubble have RT reflection. It is more obvious 5 seconds later on the bubbles above.
Man Cyberpunk isn't looking too hot to me I thought I would be excited for it by now but it's just not showing well
It never looked hot to me. All went downhill for me after I realized it's first-person-only. Then seeing the gameplay and it's.... okay-ish. Combat looks awful. Don't like it. Looks boring. Will never buy/play it.
Imagine you're playing Bloodborne and are stuck with that one boss, you pull the card to look for help and tips, and all you get is a black screen with the words "GIT GUD" on it 🤣
Oh shit it does have raytracing
Yeah I'm not buying anytime soon.
It's going to go up very quick as they'll let in new numbers since shutting off the view count to make sure they're real. For example, it's already at 953k.
1st Hint: GIT GUD
2nd Hint: No really either GIT GUD or quit
3rd Hint: I've just deleted your save file...
Right!? I was trying to force myself to like it because it's the next BIG game plus i loved the Witcher 3
Nice. Sony will ship the PS5 accessories earlier. Like they did for the PS4. I had the DualShock 4 controller weeks before the PS4 launch. Pretty cool. Soon I can finally hold the DualSense controller ^_^
