I like the picture in picture.
I hope I’ll be able to watch podcasts with it.

PIP hides part of your game screen which can be problem in itself, which for me make both solutions equally bad with slight inclination for MS solution. For me achievements notifications are distracting enough. Anyway it's not nextgen feature.
But you have to pay for it, though.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.

I like ps4 ui more.
This looks messy, but im sure I get used to it and then it feels logical.
I dont want too many social features to mess up the experience, maybe they can be optional

I've been tough on Sony due to their lopsided marketing strategy and lack of detailed information. It made things appear unfinished or not ready to show which has been alarming to me so close to the intended release. With that being said the tear-down the other day along with finally showing the UI has gone a long way in selling the PS5 to me. It's great to see Sony innovating on the UI side of things with screen sharing along with other new features. Good job!

Sackboy was in suspend mode in the background.

Revolutionary.
Wait for the usual suspects to start dissing these new features then celebrate them later when MS finally catch up. Lol

Who doesn't have PS plus.....do people not have friends to play with?

Overall I like it better than the PS4 UI. I wish they would have spent more time on the actual home menu and settings instead of control center.

yeah which was one game, when they switched over to the other game it launched from start
i dont see quick resume happening on PS5 since they surely would have shown or talked about it in someway.... at the same time Sony has been so weird with holding back info i dont know what to think

It doesn't need to be an overlay. You can snap it to the sides as well

I would have liked to see them jump back out of Destruction All Stars and back into Sackboy - to see if the PS5 is like the current gen resume, or like how the Series X can suspend multiple games at once.

Xbox had PIP and killed it (to provide incremental GPU horsepower) as it wasn't really used much. Not sure why everyone thinks a feature from 2013 that was killed off is a game changer.
Google Xbox Snap
One other question, activities are tied to points chosen by the developer (ie level starts etc). Doesn't that only work in games like Sackboy etc, platformers? FPS, RPG, AA games will all have different game states for individuals based on what they had been doing.
I'm not sure I see how that will be relevant to the vast majority of games as it doesn't reference what the user has done.

I don't have PS plus as I don't play multiplayer online games. That said, doesn't bother me that there are features included in plus to make it attractive to people...people bitching about hints being paywalled are just looking to bitch about something.

Oh yeah sorry I see what you mean. I thought you meant sleep/rest. It was my assumption in that instance Sackboy gets closed and D:AS starts

Its definitely in unless they sneakily edited the video to hide the close application message

No mention of suspend/resume of multiple games is a bit worrying. Maybe they simply don't have it.
Otherwise this is looking nice.

I'd assume one game can be suspended. The fact that they didn't switch back to sackboy is surprising though.
Couldn't resist mocking this up
Why? What features does MS need to copy?

I think it's a little cleaner. I really like cards and especially activities, and the social stuff is amazing. I can be playing game in a party chat with friends, watching my goofy drunk best friend in a card off to the side as they struggle with Demon'sj Souls. Being able to drop in and out of multiplayer matches in another game instantly, then when done hopping right back to your game.
Whew. This really does feel next gen.

A cluttered mess....
All I want from this UI is to be able to turn off ALL the social media/news/stories/friend features and have a clean game-library ui.

Doubt it. Apparently Xbox Series uses at least 100GB for Quck Resume feature.

Slow the video way down. It goes to a character select screen and then a lobby with a countdown timer. The devs obviously didn't have time to put together a build to skip those parts. The actual loading is super quick.

Watch it at 0.25% speed. You can see that he is navigating the menu, selecting a character,...
Then there is a matchmaking countdown followed by a drop into the game that is almost instant.

Yeah also saw that .. someone slow it down again to count the load time
Pretty sure they just pressed X to skip through the startup stuff.

The UI is very simplistic and nice, it seems easy to get to where you want to get, and notifications and UI processes seem to be more streamlined (like joining parties and watching friends share their screens). The thing that I liked the most was here responsive it was, it had virtually no lag.

I found it strange too, but they skip matchmaking, character selection, and a countdown timer for team building. It's hard to tell what part of that is stage loading, as it exits into a pre-staging area anyway. Pause at 7:33 to see the countdown timer. Before that is team build, before that is character selection, and before that is matchmaking. If they really wanted to hide load times, they just wouldn't have shown the game. Not sure they have any other multiplayer 1st party titles to show, and DAS hasn't even had anything new shown of it outside of the reveal trailer.Yeah also saw that .. someone slow it down again to count the load time
EDIT: Beaten like a chubby sprinter. That's what I get for watching the Thai dub of Cradle 2 The Grave.

I could really do without the newer features they’ve added in, like the news and game stuff - I wonder if there will be a way to get rid of them? Otherwise looks fine - glad we’ve seen it so people can chill about it,

That was almost entirely char select and other game related time, not loading.

you can't be serious ? he said in the video that today's video is about user experience so he will fast forward to show upload picture mode.
he was choosing a character, like 2s of loading and fast forward so he can show upload picture mode

Love the smoothness and speed of it.
Don't like the cards feature and never felt like the picture-in-picture thing was very useful on the XB1 when it launched. I don't know how useful it will be. But I do like a lot of the features here and it'll be interesting to see how they're embraced and executed by first and third party developers. Like most things cutting edge, the acceptance rate of the masses will make a difference. The paywall on cheats is a little "huh" for me but it is what it is. We'll see how that evolves too.

lol, "revolutionary". Yeah, sure.
BTW the one playing the catch up game is Sony, and by far.
