1. Some games don't have menu music.
When you have system music on, there are some games that when you select them, music from the game will begin to play (You can check with Astro's Playroom since everyone has it). However, not all games have it and the system music continue playing.
Sony should require developers to have all the UI requirements. I know Sony loves to let everything to developers' decision, but it's about presentation. Sony should want their PS5 to have the same consistent UI elements and take advantage of all UI design.
Another thing about this is that in the PS3, you were able to turn on system music and game menu music separately. So you could have system music off but game Manu music on (or viceversa). Since the PS4, you either have both on, or both off. I used to have game music menu on on PS3 and system music off. That's because some game menu music is really cool, but I didn't like the music on all the time.
2. Trophies game art.
There's no consistency in the art. With PS4, it seemed like there was a small agreement that it should be a rectangle with the logo of the game. However, everyone does whatever they want. The worst ones are the ones that don't put a logo in it. Others that suck is the logo without a background.
With the PS5, the trophy game art is square. So far, the few games that I have have very consistent art, but they are still many that don't have logos. So far I haven't seen one with just logo without background, and unless artwork that has nothing to do with anything.
Great art: Astro's Playroom, Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart, Final Fantasy VII: Remake.
Logo only but still have background: Control, Horizon Forbidden West: These are good, since the name of the game is what matter
Great art but need to have the logo: Genshin Impact, Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order, A Plague Tale: Innocence
Bonus annoyance regarding trophies: The tiny card that appears when you select a trophy to see details. Why? They already have an amazing pop up when selecting a trophy in compare trophies. Why can't they just apply it and get rid of that card.
Do you have some annoyances or pet peeves about PS5 UI (or Xbox or Switch UI)?
