PlayStation Startup Evolution (PS1-PS5)
The PS1 opened on a white screen while the now-famous powerful synth played as it showed the Sony Computer Entertainment logo. That sound then changed gave way to some other synth sounds with a black backdrop for the PlayStation logo.
The PlayStation 2, which was the best selling console of all time and had an incredible list of games, starts with another, somewhat similar synth sound, while it displays the PS2’s iconic geometry amongst smoke with some lights swirling about. The screen then goes black before the PlayStation 2 “bwoo” chime.
The PlayStation 3 is the only system to have two iterations of its startup, the second of which was introduced in firmware update 3.0. The first features the sound of an orchestra warming up while the XrossMediaBar wave and the words “Sony Computer Entertainment.”. The PS3 doesn’t play its bell-like chime until after you select a game to boot up, however. The chime would be accompanied by the PlayStation 3 logo, which was written in the same font that Sony used for the Sam Raimi-era Spider-Man movies.
The PS4 also starts with a white logo on a black background, before the Photosensitive Epilepsy Warning with the return of the XrossMediaBar wave. It then prompts the user to “Press the PS button to use the controller." The PS4 utilizes what is more like a continuous atmospheric song as you turn the console on and then go through the XrossMediaBar.
One of Sony's talking points about the PS5 is its fancy Solid State Drive, which will lead to zero loading screens, or at least loading screens that aren't perceivable. And this is a big feature. Not only have loading times been plaguing video games for years, but they've gotten really bad this generation with the increase in big and seamless open-world games. However, these long loading screens should be a thing of a past, or at least that's part of the pitch of the PS5. That said, there's at least one downside to no more loading screens you probably didn't think about.
