Wasn't that just skipping actually joining someones lobby and matchmaking (he was just picking a character it looks like)? A SSD isn't changing networking speeds, it'll just get you to them faster.

First Look at the PlayStation 5's UI

Yeah, I wasn't wild about that. Hoping they have the same options as PS4 where you can also just do a quick press or hold for screenshots/video without opening that menu.
This is also the name for the option with the game logo on the bottom bar
Suspend your games, plural.
oh ok seems it can quick resume then,
onto the next thing to get "concerned" about, lol
I play a lot of Fifa and Forza single player and have a nephew and a daughter who frequently interrupt me to play kiddie couch co op games.
I'd have to somehow convince them to wait for a few mins to finish the race or match. Now i wont have to on the Series X.
My big bugbear with the PS4 at the moment is that there is no way to switch been audio profiles, rather, you have to change the settings each and every time as if you are setting up how you always want it to behave.
I have a wireless headset using optical out and USB dongle, and I also use surround speakers via HDMI home theatre. Sometimes I'm playing on the speakers and then I'll want to go to the headset because I need to be quiet in the house, or vice versa. Want to switch to the headset? I have to select optical out, select a format between PCM, Dolby etc. every time. Switching back to HDMI? It warns me every time that my home theatre can support 7.1 but do I still want 5.1 (yes, I do, I only have those speakers) and again makes me choose a format as if the format is something that could change daily. It's as if you couldn't pair Bluetooth devices to your phone and had to find them every time.
Just let me set up audio output profiles and have them selectable in a quick PS menu overlay during gameplay and I promise not to complain about anything else.

It's fine, but still doesn't really deal well with info glut and prioritization. The cards in the control center in particular already demonstrate an excessive amount of sifting to find activities, eg when he wanted to join his friends game of Destruction AllStars and had to sift past at least 6-8 other cards to get there. It seems like they could either make the cards smaller in their default, unexpanded state to fit more on screen or they could take a more Netflix-like approach and split the cards into at least 2-3 rows based on their purpose. At the very least, split current game activities into one row and anything else (parties, MP, other games) into another row.
I think there might be something similar to quick resume(timestamp is 2 minutes in).
Note that when he hovers over the game icon(between the bell and home icon at the bottom of the screen) it doesn't say game or resume or sack boy a big adventure, it says switcher.
Switcher might be ps5's version of quick resume, but this is just speculation.
This "Switcher" thing, and the fact that he launches Destruction All-Stars without a prompt saying that he is leaving Sackboy, I'm very optimistic for a Quick Resume equivalent (at least for 2 games).
The fact that people are taking that screenshot and word choice as gospel is puzzling.
I can see most devs supporting those features .
Anything that allows them to gather more data and help control player habits \guide them in certain ways will get used .
Looks like the same on PS5 given suspending multiple games. Well, FIFA and GT7 lol.
The fact that it is behind a paywall and that it is called the Official Game Help makes me thing that Sony will create this guide themselves---perhaps in collaboration with developers---and not rely on developers creating the videos. That would be great and ensures that every single game is fully supported, and would be a great added value for Playstation players. I mean if websites like IGN see value in creating extensive walkthroughs for clicks, I'm sure Sony can toss of that PS+ money for this too.
it should have been at least like those in-game picture mode. but hopefully you can set it to automatically take pictures. i really like how instant it is on the switch since they don't really do video capture.
Perfect. This is much better than any UI they've ever done. It's simple and effective, which is all I want. The home screen looks like it will really let themes shine. The activities both have some truly great potential and will probably be ignored by some third party. Features such as in-game help, remaining time for activities and sharing your screen picture in picture with friends are really exciting. Some truly next gen stuff.
The absolute best part of the UI however... is when you select the PS store or hover over a game icon it loads instantly. PS4 was dreadful with loading UI elements, good riddance.

That's because you can have 2 apps open, a game and a media app on PS4. Maybe media apps will be just open like the store.
The context sensitive Guide system w/videos etc. is actually a PS+ (paid) feature that I think is not unreasonable. It is extra content and 'non essential' and something that can grow dynamically over time for each game.
Unlike the online paywalls for all consoles where the platform holder is not really providing much (and simultaneously giving arbitrary free passes for F2P games even though they on average utilize online functionality even more...).

Timestamp in this video shows it was recorded on 28 sept. They may be waiting for their launch single player games like demons and spidey to go gold before showing other features as there is no point to quick resume in multiplayer only games where you need to login to servers.
I just need to know if PS4 themes will work (I doubt it) because I can't imagine not hearing that Reset Era theme everytime I use my PlayStation 😭
This will continue even when people have the console in their homes hooked up to the tv.
Bruh they could have spent like 2 seconds talking about this and we wouldn't need to do detective work.
Yea, if it didn't have an equivalent to Quick Resume, then the system would have indeed warned you that Sackboy/whatever application you're running, would be closed when launching the new one, much like it does now on PS4.
The fact that people are taking the lack of it being explicitly stated that it is not included is also puzzling. 🤷🏽♂️
