 All right, I know you're looking at a blank screen right now That's because we're gonna be looking at the PlayStation 5 user experience aka our first true. Look at the PlayStation 5 You I there's been a lot of talks. I'll see about next gen coming up PlayStation 5 releasing on November 12th with the Xbox series X and S releasing on November 10th And we've seen pretty much everything there is to see From the Xbox here. We got a little crash report about premiere. Anyways What I want to talk about is obviously this UI experience. We're gonna react to it It's 11 minutes of 35 seconds long before we get into the UI experience. We're gonna play the video We're gonna listen to what they have to say we'll pause that a certain parts and talk about it I want to remind you that we are actually giving away a PlayStation 5 also Or why I really should say and or at Xbox series X or S and or a Nintendo switch All you have to do is go down into the description There is a link to enter your castle comment on the video like this video Subscribe to the channel and hit that bell icon in addition to all of that We're giving away two copies of Pikmin 3 deluxe for those that are curious. All right Let's just get right into this because there's a lot to talk about Peggy's 16. All right, here we go Hi, everyone, I'm Hideaki Nishino and I hit up PlayStation's platform planning and a management team which includes product and UX design Today we are finally going to give you a look at the PlayStation 5 user experience We will see some of the features that enable games to work together with the hardware and network to deliver a truly next-generation experience Our vision for a PS5 user experience is simple We believe that your playtime is bodyable and should be meaningful PlayStation team members from all around the world work to deliver a PS5 experience that is completely So one thing I wanted to note here is this is what what happens you boot up your PlayStation 5 from sleep mode and all that stuff I wish they would have showed but it was like to create a profile and set up the PlayStation network They didn't go that in depth there They spent most of this video talking about features that happen while you already have a game booted up But anyways, let's go on Standard on you the player connecting you with a great play and a passionate community of gamers With a look and feel that's designed for 4k TVs The PS5 user experience was both from the ground up to take advantage of the console capabilities Complementing the transformative games coming with this new generation. I Should note that this video tour is from a pre-production environment on the PS5 console So there may be a few small wrinkles or minor changes once the console launches in November and Now let's check it out courtesy of our own sit shuman Thanks, Nishino-san. Welcome to your new PlayStation 5 console experience this time. We started up from rest mode We've already created an account and signed into PlayStation Network. So let's log in in this case So this is our first look at the UI This is obviously from rest mode and then with a game already loaded up because the console was in rest mode And I find it really slick like this this is you're gonna see throughout this showcase that Everything about this is completely different from what happened on prior PlayStation systems And I like how they kind of took that center UI approach that they've had in the past That was kind of like a DVD menu they move that to the bottom of the screen And then obviously they're gonna go over all these new features with these things they call cards But honestly This is all happening while the game is still there in the background Which to me is just extremely extremely impressive There's not really much about what Sony did that I would actually improve upon They even have a couple features that Nintendo started, but they're doing it even better This is Maybe the best UI of next gen now obviously we'll do a full UI exploration of PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X once I have them here in my house And we can go over some of the stuff there because obviously we have quick resume and other features that are available on PlayStation I'm sorry on Xbox Series X that aren't available seemingly here on PlayStation 5 But they have some also some unique features of PlayStation 5 Some of them that started on PlayStation 4 but are just better now. So let's let's watch the rest of this UI Case I've resumed right where I left off in Sackboy a big adventure and here we're looking at PlayStation 5's Control Center from here. It's one click and we're right back into the game But let's take a moment and look around The control center is always one tap of the PlayStation button away It provides immediate access to almost everything you need from the system without leaving the game This includes things like seeing who is online checking the status of a download Managing your controller power and more and notably there's there's a similar menu like this on Xbox 2 Just not quite with as much to do colorful characters are called Cards and they let you interact with games and the system in a variety of ways First as we've just resumed the control center is showing a special card That allows me to get up to date on recent stories posted by so this is similar to what you could do back in The day we you and then also on switch with the new section except it's quickly accessible any game you're playing quickly accessible That's I like that. Let's check out one of the most powerful new features of the ps5 console They're actually just to the right in this row and we call them activities Activities are part of the plan to remove barriers to game. So activities are basically Sony's new Achievement like system or telling you what you need to do or what needs to still be accomplished in certain games and certain levels and certain aspects To 100% that aspect now I don't know how in depth this is gonna end up being with third-party games Obviously Sony's exclusive games are really gonna be taken advantage of this This is a huge leap over what they did on PlayStation 4 And he's gonna go over some of the features that exist in these cards that let you essentially Do some crazy stuff. Let's just look I'm gonna let him speak about these cards in depth here, and then we'll react after Let's get an example of one way they're used in Sackboy a big adventure With a tap of the PlayStation button, I'm back to playing the game Sackboy a big adventure is packed with things to discover and each level represents one type of activity I can play many of which I can go back to later to discover more I Tap the PlayStation button to bring up the control center again I could see a number of available activities both active and suggested by the system Let's take this first one a big adventure as an example. I could see that haven't quite completed this level yet I'm at 33 percent. Let's open it up and see more Here I can see more information including key objectives I haven't met and I'm seeing a very important piece of information here It says about 10 minutes left. This is PlayStation 5's personalized playtime estimate giving me an idea How long it will take me to complete this activity? Some activities even let you jump directly to that place in the game But there's more to see here for another example. Let's open that activity back up It looks like I missed an objective to find the monk robes costume piece looks like I need a little help Some in-game activities like this one offer official game help Game help was included as a benefit for active PlayStation plus members in some ps5 games In this case I can open up that objective to get some hints without resorting to a web search or digging through long videos or articles that might contain spoilers This particular hint is a video and I could play it here in the card And I can expand it to get a bigger view without leaving the game Sometimes it's really useful to be able to see the hint on screen while you play Some cards can be put in a picture-in-picture mode or as shown here a side-by-side view So outside of the convenient way that you can see these hints What's interesting is that Nintendo actually had this idea back on Wii U If you guys remember if you died enough in New Super Mario Brothers U There would be like an option to basically let the game like a Luigi version like play through the game For you and then you could take over at any point This is kind of like a similar thing to that except instead of playing the game That what they're doing is they're eliminating the need for walkthroughs. This is very very interesting because walkthroughs are still widely popular they're one of the most search for things on the internet and a feature set like this is Incredibly impressive and how seamlessly it integrates into the game. You're gonna see later You can do a picture-in-picture review obviously you can go side-by-side here to watch the hint as you're playing I really love what Sony has done here with this UI design whoever Designed this feature set for hints. This is the ideal hint system now Obviously, we need to know how much work extra work this adds to developers or whoever's making the game And how in-depth this is gonna be in every game because I'm guessing that Or something like sack boy This is a lot easier to accomplish than for something like say a new uncharted game or a new last-for-us game or even spider-man But we'll have to wait and see how developers take advantage of this or don't take advantage of this We we need to see how widespread this use case is but at least for this game really impressive Super cool and if you pin a card you can access it via the control center at any time Now let's go find those rascally monk robes Thanks game help The team at PlayStation wanted to make it really easy to chat with your friends on the PlayStation 5 console So let's check out how a Nintendo here. Look at this in-game voice chat across games This is standard feature for every system But this is really cool. Now my friend could have done this on the PlayStation app for mobile devices from a ps4 Or in this case from a ps5 the dual-sense controller features an integrated microphone to so I could start talking right away But I always have the ability to hit the mute button on the controller cross platform chat PlayStation 4 PlayStation 5 and an app on a phone Nintendo take notes. I am take on an expanded role with ps5 and they now provide persistent spaces to connect So they experiment experimented with this back on PlayStation 4 But it's even better now watch watch how they do screen sharing with friends. That's right. It's not just voice chat watch this Looks like they're playing uncharted the lost legacy We can chat while we play and I can watch his progress as well This is another card that could be put in picture-in-picture mode So you can watch your friends play as you can access at any time via the control center too But let's just I love this. This creates a whole new interactive interactivity that I've never seen on a system So far we've seen how activities are gonna be great for live streams Easier and faster to hop back into ps5 games and how you can get in-game help and chat with your friends So that leaves online multiplayer gaming. Let's check it out. Here we go My friends are online. So it's time to say goodbye to sack boy for now and spin up a match of destruction All trophies one of my friends in the party has already started a match and we can join them from this card in control center Destruction all we go destruction all stars now quickly starts thanks to ps5's ultra high-speed SSD And zoom be quick low times across the board. Okay. I think we've got enough people on our party. So let's jump in We're keeping the focus on ps5's user experience today. So let's zip ahead so we can see more I like how they showed it like that. We're in we don't have time to play a full match today But I do think we have time to take a quick photo to do that I'll just tap the create button on the DualSense controller PS5 is always capturing recent gameplay, but when you compose a shot even using in-game photo mode You can capture a high-quality screenshot here. This optimizes capturing the moment letting you review and choose to share later on I'm not sure if I like this versus what the switch does where you just automatically takes it up to But but this button does more because you can record gameplay. Okay, so far We've shown off which I think is a great activities how to chat with your friends get into groups together to play Capturing gameplay all of that while in game But what if I want to play a different game? Welcome like the home PlayStation 5 home screen This is where you'll land when you start up from a power-off state and where you'll go when you want to choose A new game to play or download the layout of the space is designed to present games and game content Beautifully on a 4k display with simple and super fast access to what you need It's really in case you're wondering Media-related apps will have their own space like this one, but today we're focused on gaming each game has its own hub completely Integrated so all you need to do is scroll down to see activities. You can jump right into video clips stories about the game DLC and more Backward-compatible ps4 titles will benefit from some of these features too Let's move one spot to the left and check out explore which brings together all your games We saw a view of this from the control center earlier and another view will also be in the new PlayStation app for mobile devices Explore keeps you in the loop with official stories from PlayStation and from all the games you're following including trending media from the community We'll be testing and learning about this feature in the u.s I don't know how many people everyone will have this but it's it's neat that it gives you a good idea of the direction and This is PlayStation store for ps5. It's completely integrated into the system. It's not a standalone app anymore Browsing for new games to play will be easier. Thanks to the speed of ps5 and a more personalized store experience and Here you'll be able to browse the latest games and deals You'll find ps5 games and many backward compatible ps4 games, too I'm sad to say but we are almost out of time So let's pull up control center one more time with a tap of the PlayStation button on our way out Why don't we quickly share that photo we took in destruction all stars? We can find recently cap as you see they don't really have a quick resume feature to switch or team multiple games from here We can do not to the low-time or any bad Terrible You know the quick resume features really need on xbox. It's like the one thing they have It's directly to one of my party. I kind of wish so Parties are bigger than just maybe they're in the future. So I'll select one of my favorite parties here This is a quick message here. This is cool the doles messaging by the way Nintendo Get on the messaging in-game come on Can't even do it through the app. You no longer have to don't know why Nintendo is so restricted Like all this this whole UI just showing how much Nintendo has failed us Hasn't yet played the activity where I captured this media and the games developer thinks that activity might contain spoilers They'll receive a warning before they view it. Well, that's our demo There are many more exciting features We couldn't get to today But we're super excited to share more of the PlayStation 5 and PlayStation app user experience with you in the coming weeks Headed to launch and of course This was just a first look at what fans can expect on day one The team at PlayStation is committed to evolving this experience with our community in the months ahead So again really really cool. Look at the at the UI I have to say like throughout it It is probably the most impressive of what's going to end up being not next-gen but current-gen platforms So you have this you have xbox series X and s and then you have the switch It makes the switches UI look extremely primitive To be fair sort of the xbox series X is UI Microsoft's tend to know to make the UI a little bit more bloated whereas play stations always been super clean but also not necessarily like Visually Enticing I guess like I said they've always gone with that DVD menu style Well, they definitely have updated all of that to current 2020 standards and I'm loving the new feature sets I think it's absolutely amazing I think they're doing some unique things that I wish xbox would do and clearly Nintendo There's no such thing as themes or anything but then again the way their UI is set up You don't necessarily need themes Whereas Nintendo kind of has a lot of dead space that would make sense for themes So I don't know that was a great look at the PlayStation 5 UI I'm glad Sony finally shorted off. It was kind of that last piece of the puzzle We needed to see from Sony just to know what we can expect now Obviously, we need to wait for independent third-party Hands-on impressions in all of that jazz which I assume are going to be coming soon given that YouTubers out in Japan already have the system I'm assuming that it's already arriving or arriving shortly for hands-on time with the Western media So I expect to hear more about it soon, but there you go That was a look at the PlayStation 5 UI or at least part of the UI the home menu in game menus new features All that jazz love that game hints of stuff. This is great. Be sure to enter those giveaways I can't wait to go hands-on with PlayStation 5 myself later this year. Alright folks I'll catch all of you guys in the next video
