Sony has yet to show the official UI for the PlayStation 5, but a leaked video has shown PS5 starting from a cold boot and it is impressively fast.

Not bad, I like the sparks flying around towards the end of the sequence.

It's from an OLD dev kit. Totally unoptimized

What are you basing this off? Not being confrontational just genuinely curious

I don't know if it's real, but I'm more interested about how fast it turns on from sleep mode, I RARELY turn my ps4 completely off, so going from cold while nice to know it's not something terribly important to me, 95% of the time I boot it up from sleep mode.

It's going to be an interesting next couple of days, super curious about a lot of things, specially the new UI.

- Dualsense PS button not blinking during startup sequence
- Dualsense touchpad lights already up before the boot
- DualSense seems to made by 3D printer
- Black wireless controller to hide it's fake

FAKE

@smashman either that or it's FAKE. The black controller? Really? The controller lights are already on before the boot up begins. This smells like TOTAL BS

That’s right dev kits don’t get updates.

It took 23 seconds!

How´s that "Impressively Fast Load Time"?

You have to consider the fact that the warning might be required. I'm really interested in whether or not Sony's quick resume can fully rival MS, if not exceed it. Either way I'm so ready for Nov 12th and De....
struction Derby.

Thats a joke Definitely can't wait for Demon's Souls. I will platinum it again.

I will be honest. If it turns out the the retail console takes 23 seconds to boot up to homescreen, I'll be a little bit disappointed. It should not take that long.

My PS3 with a garbage tier SSD is comfortably faster. 20 seconds from the PS button on the controller to controlling the XMB.

Yeah, I wasn't impressed either... Still keeping pre order but overall I think fast load times are being given too much hype

For all the talk of the performance of the SSD, 24 seconds isn't that great TBH.

2 seconds slower than the series x cold boot which is interesting.

I wouldn't be so worried, I am sure there will be software updates to speed up boot time, I would be more worried about the 662Gb of usable space, that is not a lot w/o a second matching drive option.

Are people really not noticing a black controller in the video? Looks fake but who really knows.

Sony really needs to come out and share all the information regarding ps5 or else someone will leak valuable information like it happened to Microsoft with series s and price reveal.

I noticed it. But if its a devkit it would be different. But honestly, it looked like a skin to me.

Edit: on second viewing on a bigger screen it did not look like a skin to me.

Maybe black controllers are dev controllers so they can keep track of them. Kinda like that crazy paint job MS gave to Durango.

Teflon021931d ago

Naw lol. Maybe it's the video but it seems 3D printed. And the startup could be similar. But I'm pretty sure with the controller being in before the button was pressed that as tleast the controller was fake or they would have showed UI operation

It's not really fast, but I think that's to be expected because this doesn't show any sense of validity or perhaps the leaker was running a dev kit.

crazyCoconuts1931d ago

I don't know if it's legit, but it's not that fast. Assuming XSX cold boot is truly a cold boot, it's around the same speed if not faster? And Xbox has traditionally used a significantly heavier OS architecture, so along with the faster drive I expected significantly faster for PS5

Yup, I would expect something under 10 seconds.

'And Xbox has traditionally used a significantly heavier OS architecture' You mean bloated OS?

Blender

I guess sony moreso have implemented Hardware BC, due to architecture changes , with hardware, They tried software emulation with the PS3 , but their expertise is more the hardware and add an OS,modifying FreeBSD which is Open Source.
MS with the years of OS experience, (whether good or bad) are running VM's I believe ....
This is something apple has always been good at.. Every CPU change has had a smooth transition (arguably , but I say incredible technically) considering a complete architutre change.. 6800 > G4 > G5> Intel... OS9 > OSX....
This is something MS def have the advantage in on sony... Code.
The approach by Apple was an API , the code called Rosetta, This is years before MS ran PPC instructions on Intel x86, Rosetta was removed from OSX 10.7 thus streamlining the OS, but of course outdating older machines...
But using VM's I imagine wouldn't Bloat the OS Footprint, Just a bit more of a hit to CPU and Ram....Maybe..
Just my thoughts on info I have read... No more than that.

Hello fellow inFamous stan,

I don't expect the cold boot to be much faster than this. I'm not saying that as a mark against PlayStation. For me where the SSD is going to matter is in boot from sleep mode, game switching, and then obviously the in-game advancements like we've seen in Ratchet and Clank and Demon's Souls.
