>lost technology on day 1 because no games

how come console ui doesnt have SOVL anymore

>>720045182
It's either full of ads (Xbox) or sterile and lifeless (Switch)

>>720045182
Like anything that involves UI in tech it's all made for retards to not bother learning shit. No joke, A few months ago I went to a website building and marketing crash course and the guy during the presentation basically without writing a whole thesis here about it said that the reason all UIs are nowdays soulless garbage is because of accessability because normalfags are mongoloid drooling retards.

>>720045481
Dunno but PS5 but the piss 4 had pretty alright themes.
As for why we don't get them anymore, I'm really not sure.
I wish it wasn't so annoying to install themes on the Steam Deck.
The fact you have to get a whole plugin for it and it's reverted every system update basically means nobody makes or uses that shit.
Which is a shame because I'd love some theme options.

You sure it's not because these companies would rather put in as little time, money and effort as possible?

>>720045848
Each game on PS5 is basically it's own theme, you get a picture of the game that takes up the whole screen sometimes with music. It changes when you highlight the next game in your row.

For that there are templates to speed up work, but you have to consider that if you want a new website to be high in the search engine positioning you have to follow whatever jewgle standard imposes
>That colorfull javascript inserted box has cool interactive hyperlinks? Too bad not our standard, less shekels for you
> See that fun animated video you inserted there? Too bad, not our standard, fuck you
It's actually alot of work to get your site look fun without being criminalized by the calarts mafia.

I used to browse the internet on my wii in 2007

>>720046240
I don't have a PS5 but apparently they put out a 30th anniversary theme or something?

>>720046506
>mirrors no longer work if they break

>>720046851
yeah you can change it so the menu bleeps and bloops will sound like their corresponding console from ps1 to ps4, pretty cool.

>>720047318
Mm, so it's not like my Kingdom Hearts theme that plays Dearly Beloved.

>>720046851
>>720047318
The sounds are nice but the "themes" are just a static PNG overlay on the top of the screen that looks really tacky

>>720045685
People don't explore UI anymore. Look how little normies know about Excel. If it isn't on the default ribbon at the top, they don't know it exists.

>>720045481
>sterile and lifeless (Switch)
I really don't know why Nintendo suddenly decided to not invest time in building a dedicated UI for Switch/Switch 2. The previous ones really gave you that sense of cheerfulness and you were about to getting some fun, especially the Wii U one

>>720041975 (OP)
I use my ps3 to browse /v/ when thunderstorms are hitting my area and I don't want my pc damaged by power flashes.

>>720046240
That's not a theme and it was already implemented in PS3s and PSPs

twitch stopped working on the hidden ps5 browser. best anime dubs runs like shit. YouTube still works i guess

>>720047639
Me personally I wonder if the official themes for the 3DS heavily underperformed versus their expectations causing them to drop it entirely.

>>720047639
Yeah, I miss all the music too

>>720047950
But the ads told me you need ray tracing (tm) to do mirrors?

>>720043571
PS3 had more games than Steam in 2010

>>720048071
you do, but old games just used to have mirrors be a camera that renders the room you're in backwards. ie older devs were smarter and the future is retarded.

>>720049912
Did they keep in Samus' face reflections at least?

>>720046851
They also removed the old ps1-ps4 startup animations because it's better than whatever nu sony made for the 5.

Last December was so cozy, boot up to the ps2 intro on my fucking soundbar sent me into a cozy zone.

>>720047639
Yeah or at least custom theme
You must pirate your switch to change the souless hub

>>720041975 (OP)
>playstation
>post lost technology
So uhhhh videogames then?

>>720045182
because consoles are just ad canvases now. execs saw facebook and google make gazillions off it so now we are stuck with minimalistic metro shit (aka ad space UI design)

>>720049912
wtf

>>720049912
we're truly in the darkest age of gaming

>>720041975 (OP)
>Tfw got to watch in real time the death of user expression.
>from making your own themes on PS3 and loads of amazing UC content games like LBP,Modnation Racers.
>PS4 had its "out of the box themes" they had to be made and approved by corporate and be bought or but you still had a large variety of choice and could use your favorite franchises and games.
>PS5 just has nothing its all ads or a jarring picture and music anytime you switch to a game there's no cozy theme tying the whole console together its a gross corporate mishmash designed to push as much ads and info in your face as possible.

I'm starting to think they did it not for money or legal but simply to demoralize people to take away there individuality more then they already have its all these billionaire sorts are obsessed with nowadays.

>>720045671
what the fuck this game actually seems cool as fuck

>>720046851
they removed them. can't enjoy your entertainment product TOO much

>>720045685
Interesting for them to make up that cope, when old and soulful UIs used to also be intuitive and functional. Now retarded UI designers are too stupid to put a menu with all the options in their stupid webpage, and instead make you through 7 unintuitive screen changes to find the thing you are looking for.

>>720048071
You don't because my Hercules Graphics Adapter runs every good game, paypig.

We should all figure out the Steam forum that you would ask for Valve to let people customize the client with different colors.

Server browsers.

>>720054576
do server browsers really overwhelm the average gamer?

People who went to college to make video games created the worst generation of video games in history. Curious.

>>720052090
They actually added them back a few months ago

>>720052439
There is something strange about the white flat UIs, that are everywhere now.
It is like a prideful message, that tells you, that UI design is something of the more primitive past.
It says that we don't need that anymore. As if we have ascended into the higher realm of realism graphics that speak for themselves and no longer need and outdated UI that humans can read well. We have become something better, we don't need this anymore it tells you.

I think the modern UI is not made for humans, it's made for a robot. It is reduced to data. It is intentionally user-unfriendly.

>>720055114
some guy once said: If you admire a person don't study his writings but the writings that influenced him

>>720055114
People who went to (game design) college make the worst games.

People who took engineering classes, understand hardware, etc. made the best games.

Why do you think modern architecture is ugly? Same thing

What do you mean by "lost"??? It's sitting right in my bedroom

>>720054694
Nah people just don't like the servers currently declaring matchmaking to be stealing players from them.

>>720054694
its spooky to them

>>720054694
can't retentionMAXX by making sure people don't win too much if they have a choice where to play and if you don't retain them they might not buy microtransactions or worse yet be on a server without paid skins!

>>720045685
>Like anything that involves UI in tech it's all made for retards to not bother learning shit
What the fuck am I reading? Are you browsing on cmd?

>>720045481
I bought a cheap xbone so I could play Rare Replay and I was disgusted by all the literal ads in the UI. I swear there was an entire screen devoted to selling you Microsoft Office.

>>720045182
True. Even SteamOS maximizes UI design principles over soul.

>>720056952
I will never understand how people could see the fucking main menu of windows or Xbox full of ads and think "this is ok"

>>720057039
Don't consoles still display ads when you pay the premium subscription too? lmao

>>720055405
they learned from the most admired company in gaming

>>720057243
It's unavoidable, that's the point. How anyone could buy a console is beyond me

>>720045182
i think the ps3 xmb ui was designed by an actual artist, baiyon
In the years after Sony started to care less and less about actual their artistic integrity and expression in PS consoles
ps3 is probably the last console which really emanated their original identity

>>720049174
TRUE I pirated pc games though
