What is your favorite PS UI and what features or structures do you wish the PS5 UI had? What do you like about the PS5 UI?
I love that the PS Store is now integrated within the UI rather than a separate application. Think this is one of the biggest improvements from the PS3 and PS4. Was an absolute pain trying to buy games and having to wait for the app to load. I think they need to make it easier to find games within the PS Store though. You should be able to search by developer and publisher or within franchises.
I really wish it had a true quick resume feature and I can't believe we don't have proper folder management, which to me should have been the first thing they worked on. Another thing I was thinking about looking back on the PS1 and PS2 is that they should give you options for quick boot up directly to the game that is loaded on the disc drive or the last game played. Back in the day, if you had a game loaded on PS1 or PS2 you skipped any system menus and went directly into the game, that should still be an option now.
The more time you can spend JUST playing the game the better, completely eliminate load times and limit menu interaction, that would be my design philosophy, which is why I think having a folder management system (that's well thought out) is so important. The ability for me to quickly find games that I own that I want to play currently or games that I have next in my backlog is really useful, and right now it's a pain to manage this. The folder system doesn't remove games from the primary library (nor can you hide them), you can't sort or organize games within folders, it's just based on the order in which you added games to the folder.
I know that quick resume is a bit broken on XSX/S but I really thought this generation would easily deliver on this, so I'm a bit disappointed that we still have fairly considerable load times (relative to pre-disc generations). I'm hoping the next-gen with PCIE6 blows this away.
