PS5's UI: The Five Biggest Gamechangers

IGN writes - "Sony's PS5 UI reveal offered plenty of hints about how the interface is a next-gen evolution. Here are our biggest takeaways."

SullysCigar2056d ago

Oh look. IGN saw PS5 UI video on Youtube get over 10 million views in 2 days and suddenly wants in on the action...lol

That UI is gorgeous though and I'm loving it's new capabilities.

Yeah, how insane of a gaming centric news sight to report of news especially news of the new video game systems releasing in a few weeks..../s

SullysCigar2056d ago

Not the point I was making. What a waste of snark lol

S2Killinit2056d ago (Edited 2056d ago )

Most important in my opinion is the “help” video feature. I believe this will open the field to allow more challenging puzzles in video games. Ex. The reason we dont have more Zelda style games is because Zelda can afford to have challenging puzzles due to its name. Players are willing to spend the time to figure out Zelda puzzles because it is Zelda! And if they cant figure out a puzzle, they will then look it up on the internet. Conversely, New franchizes would be taking a huge gamble if players get stuck on puzzles because people may not be willing to tolerate getting stuck on a no name game’s puzzle.

This new feature will mean that the devs will have the freedom to experiment with more complex puzzles or riddles in games. It opens up all sorts of possibilities.

Sunny123452056d ago

I agree with the help portion, but using zelda as an example? That game didn't hold hand for sure, but there are much more complex and intricate games out there. Its a good thing for trophy hunters, and finding collectibles. Pip is a huge advantage.

S2Killinit2056d ago (Edited 2056d ago )

i mentioned Zelda because it uses puzzles that you wont necessarily solve and so I know that once in a while I have to look online to find walkthrough videos. At times that gives away other parts of the game because you just happen to see it. So, I think the video help feature will be liberating for devs that want to push puzzle boundaries in games.

It wasnt a diss of Zelda or Nintendo and I didnt mean that its the most difficult, just a good example because of my personal experience.

1Victor2056d ago

@Sunny agree could had gone with something like metal gear 3 frog hunt.

shabz6662056d ago

I’m super curious about the personalized time to complete a game. That’s a really cool feature.

Edito2055d ago

I hope we can turn on and off some features because for e.g. I like the surprise factor and playing knowing that yeah the game will end in 1h lol it's not good for me hehehe

Father__Merrin2056d ago

The UI is incredible best in class beats any other ui and beats any pc store... Il wait till next year for ps5 unable to aquire but il be happy with a series S I've pad for it now so il get my use out of it

ClayRules20122056d ago

Love your attitude! I hope you enjoy your gaming experiences on the Series S buddy!

Sunny123452056d ago

All the haters gona hate xbox s. But with gamepass, its incredible value for money for casuals. I rather invest in a budget pc though, and keep ps5 for its perks.

NeoGamer2322056d ago (Edited 2056d ago )

The XB already has features to jump to the web to get help in completing achievements.

PS5 has made this slicker and easier to access for sure, but it is not like you can't do 70% of this on XB.

Rhythmattic2056d ago (Edited 2056d ago )

Iphone has this too... Just jump into safari for a walkthrough....
Sorry... Couldn't help myself... SO.. I guess its the one button push that makes it different, and not leaving to a seperate web app.........

shinrock2056d ago

Had straight access to TrueAchivments.com from the xbl guide for a few years now. just a couple of button presses.

Gunstar752056d ago

Some.of this stuff was on xbox one and you'll hated on it

LoveSpuds2055d ago

PS4 also has links to look up YouTube vids etc for trophies etc, nobody is saying it's a new concept. Its simply how elegantly it has been implemented that has people excited, and rightly so, this UI is streets ahead of what's come before.

I think the only potential issue relates to whether 3rd party devs will make full use of it too, I really hope so because it really is cool.

This site is riddled with third party analytics and advertising. It would take all day to turn it all off. Fxck IGN.

The Wood2056d ago

Is there no reject all option

morganfell2056d ago

There is. It is called the Brave browser: https://brave.com/

The Wood2055d ago

I use ublock on most browsers. I was more asking if there wasn't a reject all option when trying to object at options on ign

Cheers though, I'll check out that browser

samudrabet2056d ago

I like games from Sony, but for PS5 it is very constrained by the price.

ClayRules20122056d ago

🤦🏼‍♂️

No different than the Series X, price wise. And with the PS5, you know you’ll actually be getting “Exclusive” high quality games from best in the world studios for the consoles life span basically. Microsoft’s track record can’t say the same. Who knows what they’ll do this gen. I’m just saying.

SullysCigar2056d ago

I'm pretty sure it's a spam account @Clay, just mark it as spam and it'll get closed.

RedDevils2055d ago

If you want the PS5/XSX you sure to have save up in time for it. Even 10 buck a week from the last 2 years lol
