any news about the loudness of the ps5, compared to standard model ps4s?

If it's too loud, you're too old!

apparently the entire reason the ps5 is so big is to make it quieter!

the user experience is bad
― ciderpress, Thursday, 15 October 2020 17:06 (three years ago) link
On the plus side, that stuff seems like the easiest to fix and refine. And at the same time, a lot of that is shit I just don't care about. Screenshots? Chatting? Not for me.
My kids were claiming I play games a lot, which ... I really don't. Maybe once or twice a week? Still, I told them if anything I need to play games *more* to stay on track, so that I can get through most of my backlog in time to buy a PS5 in two+ years.
― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 15 October 2020 17:15 (three years ago) link
there's no rush. i bought a ps4 in 2019 and will probably likewise buy a ps5 in 2025

sure is. it's true that they could fix it later, but it seems rare that it actually happens. i'll never understand how even basic things like the screenshot interface get screwed up. here's a screenshot of the PS5 screenshot:
https://i.imgur.com/iDZfBiE.png
it's hard to tell, but in the demo they just snapped a picture. but notice that the interface takes up the bottom 1/4 of the screen, and it's black instead of transparent so it covers up a 1/4 of the screenshot you're trying to capture! you have to guess at what's behind there when you frame your shot. why didn't they just make it transparent?
it's not a big deal at all, and maybe they'll fix that before launch day, but...they probably won't?

all these are functions I wouldn't ever use. in our house the ps4 has become our main TV device that also happens to play games. So what I really want is better interfaces for TV watching, chromecast compatibility, better audio out options, some way to watch ITV(!)... on the gaming side, just be nice to have one setting that remembers I play inverted Y, otherwise yeah just bring me a quieter fan, a good Gran Turismo and a whole load of cheap 2d metroidvanias, bring Lau some overblown post-apocalyptic epic with yet more zombies, and we're basically happy.

More annoyed about the recently announced changes to the web store.No more ability to buy PS3/Vita/PSP titles (have to use the console), and they're REMOVING wishlists altogether.
― Nhex, Friday, 16 October 2020 15:40 (three years ago) link
Yeah what’s up with that anyway?
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Friday, 16 October 2020 19:53 (three years ago) link
Note that PS1 titles are still seemingly ok, and maybe will get a PS5 emulator. (Most PS2 titles on the store were PSN ports to PS3 so I'm guessing they're mostly gone with a few exceptions that were ported to PS4.)
Guess it's too much trouble to emulate. I know PS3 had a notoriously weird architecture (which was eventually cracked by many ingenious hobbyists and PS2 I'm guessing is also difficult to emulate.
The wishlist stuff is probably just to curtail wait-for-sale buying? I can't see it as anything but anti-consumer. Speaking of which, I always hated that 100-item limit.

good news for those hoping the ps5 will be more quiet?
https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2020/10/ps5-will-use-downloadable-updates-to-control-game-by-game-fan-speed/
...in the interview, 4Gamer notes that the system's 120mm diameter, 45mm thick fan, which directs air to both sides of the dual-sided motherboard, "is quite large and thick for an electric fan mounted on a game machine." That allows for slower turning compared to a larger fan, leading to a "high degree of quietness... under normal usage conditions."In the teardown video, Otori said the PS5's increased size led to "a dramatic improvement in terms of processing power and quietness" over the PS4. Initial hands-on reports from Japanese press confirmed that general impression, which should be good news for PlayStation owners used to loud system fans that spin like jet engines under heavy load.

new web store is up and I hate it alreadyno filters, no wishlist, all icons and no text so you can't tell if it's a game or bundle or DLC or what - if you search for DLC you can end up with rows of the same icon and not be able to tell what each one is!

yeah theres a bunch of journo vids up today showing off ps4 back compatibility which looks good, pretty much everything runs perfectly at 60fps on ps5 as you'd hope, its just up to the devs to release patches that unlock the framerate from 30 if they hadn't already done that

sounds like the new system ui sucks ass is only real caveat of ps5 compared to last gen
― ciderpress, Friday, 6 November 2020 20:10 (three years ago) link
I think there are some clumsy bits but some of the new features looked good? The ability to do certain in-game things in PS5 games without loading the game and then twiddling through menus seems cool.

you can set default settings for some common stuff like subtitles, difficulty level, etc in the OS and it'll transfer to the game options automatically when you start a new game

Maybe I hallucinated it but I swear one of the write-ups mentioned that if a game has a mission select type of thing, or a way to launch into something like a mini game, they can provide it on one of the cards outside of the game itself.
