Yes please. this is what i want to see from all games. We've been speculating about this.
DMCVSE already setting the standard for Activity Cards also! A Continue or save file cards are all I would need. Everything else would be a bonus for me

The problem with the way this one works is Capcom has added in some extra screens that are your typical kinda "Save Game Loaded" and "Checking for Add-On Content" things. It's still really fast, but those tiny pauses for those unnecessary dialogues slows it down a lot.
It's still early days, though, and I'm sure developers will gradually get better at doing this. The Sony examples so far are excellent!
That's impressive. I know most games these days aren't really split by levels the way Astro Bot is, but even if games just had this for say most recent save and multiplayer that'd be a huge improvement.
Tempted to buy this, since I skipped on PS4.

Didn't one of the review videos say there were automatic Cards for your past Trophy-earned moments? That'd be a lot of cards. I thought it was even for BC. Gotta rewind to check.
it does. i haven't seen it in action either, but there's an Insomniac employee on Twitter who said he created the Activities cards for Miles Morales and really loves the feature
Yeah, a poster who has a PS5 said you can jump to side missions through activity cards in like 2 seconds if the game is already running.
Yeah, at its best, QR and Cards overlap a lot in the features it serve, but they still have very distinct advantages over each other.
Especially with Japanese games that historically don't do a good job when it comes to auto-save.

I love this feature, yeah it doesn't have all the advantages of QR but it also has advantages QR doesn't have and for me personally the cards are more useful since I don't switch between multiple games.
I want to see this in action, sounds pretty good.
So it bypasses the splash screen, that's good to know.
Yup! Especially if they allow us to save state and pin it as an activity card, that would be the perfect ideal.
If storage is an issue, maybe Sony can just add an opt-in/out checkbox to reserve additional space for save states?

This is going to be SO huge for sports games... booting directly into ultimate team? Freaking awesome. I'll be able to skip the entire fifa/madden front end
Well don't forget, this is literally a launch title even though it feels like we've been talking about the new consoles forever. As the gen progresses, we're going to be seeing some crazy things especially with the PS5's oodles compression.
I believe they already announced there will be activity cards for different game modes so you can load immediately into matchmaking vs the main menu
not that it fully negates it, also these companies do not have to do the same thing and differences can be good, but this almost seems like Sony's way of handling it. Like it's not the same but also has its positives over the other way, which again has its own advantages!
All I know is for the first time in forever next gen is going to be fucking amazing across all 3 consoles and that excites me so freaking much!
