“PlayStation 5” released on November 12
The last PlayStation 5 related article right before launch is “AV-Related Features.”
We have already sent the actual machine report, but due to the fact that not all services were provided before launch, the PlayStation Network (PSN) related store function, the “PlayStation Plus” payment service function and the audio As for “media” summarizing visual functions, video posting was not allowed.
However, now that it is for sale, it is now possible to publish these parts as well.
So here, I’ll reveal 15 secrets, focusing on the PS5’s AV-related features, which haven’t been introduced much yet.
Secret n. 2: “Apple TV” is here
As a new element of PS5 has appeared an application that uses Apple’s video distribution. In addition to viewing video works purchased and rented through Apple, you can also use the subscription service “Apple TV +”.
Introducing the Apple TV app. App delivery to TV companies started this year, and in the same way, you can now watch movies taken from the iTunes Store on PS5.
Set up linking accounts from iPhone, etc.
Secret No. 3: When operating with the multimedia remote control …
A “multimedia remote control” is available as a peripheral device for PS5. This type of remote has been around since the PS2 era, but was only “used for a while” when playing discs. In fact, it wasn’t much better than a genuine controller.
“Multimedia Remote Control” released at the same time as PS5. Actually, this time, a little secret about the user interface …
However, the PS5 multimedia remote has a little secret.
In fact, when you operate it with the media remote, the PS5 side automatically displays “media.” Conversely, if you use Dual Sense, which is the controller, the “game” side will be displayed.
The point is that the “context of the content you want to operate” is determined by the device you control, and the game and media are used correctly.
Similarly, when the video disc is inserted into the main body, it is determined that “it is the middle side that you want to operate” and the screen changes to “middle”.
Secret No. 4: You can watch the recommended content in “TV and video”
There is an item called “TV and video”, and you can view a list of “Recommended for you” content provided by each service from here. Of course, if you select content here, you will go directly to that content if you have viewing rights (such as contracted).
“TV & Video” acts as a hub for various services, allowing you to jump directly from the recommended content list to the service.
Secret n. 5: “Control Center” keeps moving even while video is playing
If you press the “PS button” while playing a video, the control center will be displayed. This is convenient when you want to switch to a game or when you want to see new messages.
Also, even here, the video is “streaming” so you can verify the message in a bit of “while” work. However, there are media apps that can do that (like Apple TV) and apps that can’t (like Netflix).
The media center can be displayed even during video playback
Secret n. # 6: “media app” is treated differently
The control center has a feature called “application switch” that allows you to quickly switch between recently played games. Here you can see up to two “recently used multimedia applications”, as well as currently active applications, recently played games. Therefore, if you have decided which service to use, you can call it from the control center.
The game or application you are currently using is treated as “active.” In addition to that, two games and two applications appear in the list.
Secret No. 7: VR-related apps also appear in “media”
PlayStation VR is “support via PS4 compatible function”, but for service applications such as VR video distribution, there is a section called “VR and experience application” on the media side, and it is summed up there. ..
VR video experience applications will also be introduced in the same group, such as video distribution applications.
Secret n. 8: play music with “Spotify”
Basically, the music is listened to through Spotify. To do so, you need to download the Spotify application. Of course, you can use it with a free plan.
Spotify app
For premium plan users, device cooperation is also supported and songs played on smartphones, tablets and PCs can be “played from PS5”.
Since it has the same functions as a smartphone app, it can also be linked by “moving the playback target from a smartphone or tablet to PS5”.
First of all, SIE has partnered with Spotify since the second half of PS4, and positions Spotify as a music service to be used on PlayStation. Therefore, as in the PS4 era, you can listen to music on Spotify while playing games.
On the other hand, in the PS4 era, calling up the menu was quite troublesome, but there was an item called “Music” in the control center, and it became easy to listen to music because it was immediately accessible.
You can play Spotify songs directly from the control center with few operations
Secret n. 9: listen to the music stored in the USB memory
At first glance, it seems that music cannot be played as MP3 files saved on a USB memory. However, the function is successfully implemented in “Music” in the control center.
If you create a folder called “MUSIC” on the USB memory and put music files in it, you can listen to “what music data you have” while playing games.
Music files stored in the USB memory can be played from the control center
Secret # 10: The standard for in-game “video capture” is the WebM format.
PS5 can record video during gameplay, at which point you can choose between the “WebM” format, which can reduce data capacity, and the more general “MP4” format.
Secret No. 11: Actually, the “controller microphone” is amazing
The PS5 Dual Sense controller has a built-in microphone. This is to use voice chat during the game. This sound quality is good. I haven’t tried internet chatting because I can’t do it before it goes on sale, but from what I can hear the recorded video, the sound quality from the microphone is very good.
Dual Sense is pretty bad for a “mic environment”. There’s a click button nearby, and you can even hear the sound of the game. If they are mixed, it will be difficult to hear the voice.
However, it is designed so that it will not be disturbed “other than the voice”, and it seems that it can speak correctly only with the microphone built into the controller. It’s so natural that I don’t even realize it (actually, when I first heard the recording), but when I think about it calmly, it’s quite an elaborate device.
Secret # 12: “My voice” can be included in the video of the game …
PS5 game video recording has options to “include party audio (voice chat)” and “include microphone audio”. It is a good feature for recording emotions. You can activate the settings if necessary.
On the other hand, PSN has a feature called “trophy” that you can get to clear certain tasks in the game. Like PS4, PS5 can be set to automatically record a video at that moment when a trophy is acquired. It can also be said that this leaves the “memory” of the game.
Actually “Include Mic Sound” is effective here as well. Therefore, there is a possibility that the sound of laughter and joy will be recorded on the video when the trophy is acquired. I think this is an interesting item because it won’t be heard by others unless you share it yourself.
Decide carefully if you want to record a video with “Include Microphone Audio” turned on.
However, if you intend to share and never want others to hear your voice, turn off Include Mike’s voice.
Secret n. 13: the reading and voice input functions are excellent
PS5 supports voice character input and “reading” (voice transcription).
Not only the software keyboard can be used, but also the voice input for inputs like chat, but this precision is quite high. The controller’s microphone works here. The good quality of the microphone also means that it can be recognized with great precision. You can type naturally without wearing headphones or raising your voice.
Tried voice input, you can enter as much text without having to re-enter it.
Also, if you enable “Voice typing” in “Accessibility”, you can turn other players’ chat voices into characters and read the text you entered to other players.
Use “Voice typing” in “Accessibility” to read messages aloud, etc.
Secret # 14: the PS5 store is integrated with the menu
“PlayStation Store” to buy PS5 games. In the past, the structure was such that a store app existed, but on PS5, the store is built into the menu as is.
PS5 PlayStation Store
This seems to be aimed at making store access easier and to ease the transition from game to store.
Secret n. # 15: If you subscribe to PlayStation Plus, you can watch the “Game Tips Video”
From the control center, the details of the game you are playing are displayed in card format. It shows the progress of the chapter and the rest of the “secrets”, but sometimes a capture video is shown.
However, this is when you are on “PlayStation Plus”, which is a paid membership service. You can zoom in on the video or put it aside during gameplay.
You can see “Game Video Tips” during the game. However, only for subscribers of the paid service “PlayStation Plus”
You can also play with the video on the right or left
For PlayStation Plus subscribers, there is also a “PS PLUS Collection” where they can enjoy PS4 masterpiece titles at no extra charge, which is a very good service in terms of money (850 yen / month plan).
