Now the wait has finally come to an end: today, November 12, represents the day one of PlayStation 5 in most parts of the world and delivers us by right in the new videogame generation, already inaugurated by Microsoft and Xbox Series X a couple of days ago. Now that even the general public can get their hands on the console of Sony, on the web are starting to appear more and more news regarding features or details that have escaped the many previews and reviews of the specialized press. One of the most curious and interesting concerns a particular PlayStation 5 feature, which will automatically skip the logos of software houses and publishers after seeing them when starting any game for the first time.
The confirmation comes from the Twitter profile of Lance Mcdonald, a well-known face among fans of the Soulslike genre and famous 'modder' of the first two chapters of Dark Souls for PC, who today finally got his hands on the Sony home console, obviously accompanied by a copy of Demon's Souls brand new. On his profile he has published an avalanche of tweets to tell about his first experiences, but the most interesting of all remains the one in which, with great amazement, he confirms that the BluePoint Games and Japan Studio logos are no longer displayed once the game is closed and reopened. For the moment we can confirm that this 'skip' only happens on first-parties, such as the aforementioned remake of FromSoftware's Soulslike, and we're not sure if this can happen on third-party titles as well.
Thanks to the power of the new PlayStation 5 custom SSD system, software uploads will be instantaneous and once any game is started we will be catapulted directly to the main menu, skipping all those screens that, in addition to giving due recognition to all the studios that worked on the work, very often also hid small uploads of the game screens or saves. Finally, we remind you that the arrival of Sony's next-gen console, now available in North America, Japan and Australia, in Europe and for the rest of the world is set in exactly one week, the next November 19.
A feature I haven't seen mentioned on PS5. When you first play a game, youll see opening logos like "PlayStation Studios" and such like with any game. However you only see these once. After that, quit and restart the game and they never appear again (Even if you delete your save)
