I don't get why this was necessary.

Am I understanding correctly that this will be the boot sequence to Sony 1st party titles? I mean with the super fast SSD, ideally when you press X to launch a game, it theoretically will jump into the game within 10 secs without all the loading shit.

I would this this fits best to their TV and/or Movie stuff.

Surely we're getting this announced today ahead of it appearing at the front of a reveal tomorrow

You can skip it if you want, just like how can fast forward through the Marvel intro in movies.

It could just be the first time you insert/install a first party title. It's a simple elegant touch it's really not that serious.

I'm actually not a big fan :( .

It feels exactly like the new Marvel intro, which always felt like a commercial to me. I get that it sort of is, but the old comic flip logo always felt more elegant and feel like you were about to get pulled into one of hundreds of stories, while the new one just felt a generic trailer with horns. even the SFX of page flipping made it feel unique. (I barely even read comics despite all the feelings about it too haha)

So yeah the fact that it feels like a film studio intro is exactly why I think this was a bit of a missed
opportunity. What their games do is allow me to control worlds and move through them, explore, etc., so a logo that touched on those themes would be hit home for me as a lifelong PlayStation fan.

It's not poorly done or anything but it just doesn't feel special to me personally. That said I'm of course gonna be there day 1 for most of their titles, hehe.

Not a huge fan, looks busy and too flashy.

Not going to bother me much, though.

Would have been fair to say "Chill" if they'd quoted a long list of the 40 or so posts that said 'marvel copy blah blah' or 'xbox copy blah blah', but just showing the timeline is a good contribution to the thread.

Would not be shocked to see people come in and post the same shit without reading it or even the OP even now lol.

Damn. Love the receipts.

Well, I take it back. Looks like Sony took the lead orginally in this.

I'm not usually one to point stuff like this out, but I just checked the animation again but on YouTube - nearly 400k views already? People be thirsty.

Seems pretty long for a console with instant load times. I thought start up logos would be obsolete this gen or at least very short.

The whole Marvel inspiration, it's mentioned in the article.

But to suggest Sony is copying Xbox is hilarious, wild, and false.

I legit thought it was about their movie studio collab with PlayStation. Until I read the article.

Classy and cinematic. I love how they've just gone with the PlayStation symbol without the wording. Shows how distinct and popular the brand is. I also love how they're using the original Uncharted 4 footage that didn't end up in the game. :)

Kinda, It's just a publisher logo. So be on (the back in Sony's case) boxart and at the very start of their games.

I think they'll put it on the front moving forward. They used to do this in the PS1, PS2 and PS3 days with the SCE Diamond, but started dropping it this gen. They probably want to go back to it to have a consistent visual branding for all first-party-adjacent titles, and putting your brand on the back of the box means casual shoppers won't see it.
