Sorry, after 7 years, you can’t offer me something that is (far) uglier than what we currently have. I’ll not accept it. It also screams last gen, not next one. Yea, you can call me superficial but I just don’t like ugly stuff.

 

[Orky]

I agree. But let’s wait until Sony actually shows some stuff. The leaks can be fake. So let’s wait

 

[SAMZ]

As long as the UI has a button on it to start my games then I'm happy. I'm not a fan of playing UI's, I'm a fan of playing games though.

Let's wait for something official though. Don't trust the internet.

 

[Concern]

Idc about the ui tbh. Im disappointed with the storage and size of the thing. I may just sell someone my preorder and wait on a pro or slim with 2tb.

Not like im missing out on anything at launch besides Demon Souls. Everything else is coming to the Ps4. Even then I wouldn't be surprised if Demon Souls is too and they're just withholding that to get Ps5s sold.

 

[Musky_Cheese]

Who has a TV or monitor that fucking dirty. The shit UI matches the cleanliness of the screen.

Perhaps that is a PS5 setting? Poor and dirty mode?

 

[Bartski]

so you're buying the console for the UI?

 

[longdi]

Imo as a next gen console gamer, you should look at Series X + GPU as your first choice. UI or not.

 

[lastmessiah]

Even if that isn’t real, the UI will still be bad. Sony is terrible at this.

 

[Self]

Fake concern threads. Here we go again...

 

[Iced Arcade]

Honestly it isn't much different than the PS4 UI. And that's ghetto af and people didn't mind it.

 

[diffusionx]

It would match the design of the actual console.

 

[RoboFu]

Wtf did they purposely take a pic through a milk carton?

 

[TGO]

Those images show nothing

 

[Edgelord79]

I doubt this is the actual UI. If it is, why does it take close to 400 GB?!

 

[Spaceman292]

If THAT is enough to turn your off a PS5 then you probably didn't want one very badly anyway.

 

[M1chl]

Remember Vita? That was some Vietnamese console level shit UI and device itself was amazin'.

 

[Kuranghi]

You're SO right, I just saw this image of the Xbox Series X UI and I'm having serious doubts, I'm going to base my entire purchasing decision on this image:

Wait, hang on, thats a actual proper representation of what it looks like, here is the image I'm actually basing my purchase on:

Looks shit.

 

[Ar¢tos]

I play games, I don't play UIs. So I don't care.
Can't you do a tiny effort to produce better quality concern trolling?

 

[ManaByte]

I doubt this is the actual UI. If it is, why does it take close to 400 GB?!

It doesn't take up 400GB. The PS5 SSD is 825GB unformatted.

 

[Sander Cohen]

Even if that isn’t real, the UI will still be bad. Sony is terrible at this.

PS4 is looking fine by me. Much better than this.

 

[Aguero9320]

Sony’s XMB thing has always been shit, everyone knows it, even the fanboys. Won’t change this generation either.

I suspect that’s why they aren’t showing it officially - same shit tweaked a bit, on a different console.

 

[Dogman]

Those are very blurry pictures of the settings screens. Imagine if I decided what phone I was gonna buy based on what the settings menu looked like

Stop it

 

[mejin]

Not even sunday yet

 

[Warnen]

I wouldn't worry, themes will prob save it if you don't like the default look. Sony has always done a dam good job with the themes.

 

[TGO]

What's with the mouse pointer

 

[Radical Dreamer]

XMB on PS3 was peak of the UI. Loved it.

 

[Dogman]

What's with the mouse pointer

Probably because its all a devkit of some sort (explaining the black controller)

 

[Sander Cohen]

If THAT is enough to turn your off a PS5 then you probably didn't want one very badly anyway.

No, not badly but I’m a sucker for nice UI, generally speaking, in all tech products. How can this ugliness pass in 2020 is beyond me (let’s hope and pray it’s fake...but doubt it).

 

[mitch1971]

OP, have a wank. Release some tension.

 

[MHubert]

What... makes it ugly, exactly?

 

[MaddMatt]

What’s wrong with you people?

 

[CRAIG667]

I honestly don't care, once you're in game the UI is of little concern.

 

[MrS]

Who buys a console for the UI? Some of you guys worry about the wrong things.

 

[EverydayBeast]

Good consoles can survive with bad UI’s ask Nintendo or Microsoft

 

[Batiman]

It looks like someone rubbed jizz on their dusty Tv in that second pic

 

[Ar¢tos]

If game reviewers don't have to play games anymore, I guess it's OK for gamers to buy consoles just to look at the UI...
I guess, I don't know, everything is confusing in this Age of Entitlement.

 

[Hezekiah]

Even if that isn’t real, the UI will still be bad. Sony is terrible at this.

And you're a terrible fanboy with no credibility.

And who buys a console based on how the UI looks?

 

[lastmessiah]

Who buys a console for the UI? Some of you guys worry about the wrong things.

many people buy them as their primary multimedia device. UI is one of the most important factors, seems odd to downplay it.

 

[wolffy71]

If you are gonna base anything on that sketchy vid, you're nuts.

 

[wipeout364]

I could get behind Sony’s UI if it was responsive and fast but it’s so minimalist yet still runs terrible.

I mean I am not saying Xbox UI runs well but it full of stuff on the screen and actually has a ton of cool features way beyond Sony’s. Almost all Sony products I have bought have crappy UI it’s like their signature move.

The vita and psp seemed to work pretty well if I remember correctly, but it’s probably just nostalgia it’s been so long since I fired one of them up.

 

[Spaceman292]

No, not badly but I’m a sucker for nice UI, generally speaking, in all tech products. How can this ugliness pass in 2020 is beyond me (let’s hope and pray it’s fake...but doubt it).

Well it's a blurry sideways screenshot taken by some random nobody so it seems totally legit.

Anyway, aren't you more interested in the games rather than the visual look of the settings menu?

 

[MrS]

many people buy them as their primary multimedia device. UI is one of the most important factors, seems odd to downplay it.

Save yourself $400 and buy an Amazon fire stick if you want a multimedia device. I don't even buy this shit as we live in the era of smart tvs where every app you need is built in to your tv. PS5 is video game console 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th before it's anything else.

 

[danielJackson]

As long as it's not messy as xboxs, it is fine

 

[SaturnSaturn]

Looks like a small throwback to PS3 XMBC, i really like it.

 

[TranscendentDee]

No offense but being on this forum I realize how some gamers can be so petty and dramatic... Well not just this forum but in general.

 

[Yoboman]

Wow sony didn't even bother to translate it to English

 

[Sander Cohen]

No offense but being on this forum I realize how some gamers can be so petty and dramatic... Well not just this forum but in general.

There is small SSD size, there are 70$/80€ games, there are cross-save feature problems. All legitimate concerns.

My weak spot is UI, that’s it.

 

[Darklor01]

What's with the mouse pointer

Why does it look so much like a PS3 UI to me?

 

[Balducci30]

Uh, I had no idea people even cared about UI’s

 

[Aguero9320]

The vita and psp seemed to work pretty well if I remember correctly, but it’s probably just nostalgia it’s been so long since I fired one of them up.

I may be misremembering, but wasn’t the Vita those fucking bubbles? That was truly horrendous. I still have one, might charge it up to reminisce lol. Always hated Sony’s UI work... No one really gets this right IMO - current gen rank for me is Switch, Xbox, PS4 in that order.
