Actually I think the PS2 game startup sound would work great with the logo against black.

Man I miss that sound

Yeah, that would work. It's better than nothing at least

Startup sound takes up 3.6 Gb of RAM and therefore won't fit into the OS allocation.

Hahahahah!

But it has dat soothing music that induces a zen-like level of calm and tranquility!

So good

 

[AHA-Lambda]

As silly as this in, it's not really true either lol.

It beeps when you turn it on and then has a whoosh sound. Not much but it's still a start up noise.

 

[Shadownet]

I don't know about you guys but I play the warning tone from Metal Gear every time I turn on my ps4.

 

[Kamina]

False advertising, someone post this on Sony's twitter so we get an answer.

This is a travesty on par with 9/11

 

[elektrixx]

The travesty for me is how the consoles shits its pants whenever the power goes out and it's in standby mode. Only my Sony consoles will freak the fuck out and take forever to start up again.

 

[Celestial Mortal]

What I don't like is the same PS3 beep when the console is switched on.

 

[InsaneLuchador]

Didn't notice this was missing. It takes my TV a moment to warm up. Doesn't concern me anyway.

 

[Vormund]

Thread duly noted.

edit: I actually agree with the OP so I'm punting this one up. PS4 needs iconic startup sound.

>_> I agree, but it's not really something I'd put much time into guys. Maybe just an option for the other 3 PS startups for now.

 

[Vilam]

I really miss it to be honest. The startup sequences hold a lot of nostalgia for me when I think back on consoles I loved.

 

[Jea Song]

Would be really cool if Start up sound was a newer version of the original ps1.

 

[Bold One]

I vote for this

 

[Mr Moose]

I'm sure mine has a start-up sound that isn't just a beep... It has like... A chiming sound, right? Am I imagining things?

 

[funkypie]

I just shout this is 4 the gamers when it boots up.

 

[tassletine]

Sell it immediately and get a Gamecube,

Exactly, good point!

 

[stack9902]

I looooooove the "beep".

hahahahaha

 

[The Lamonster]

It boggles my mind that these companies release expensive brand new systems that don't have mandatory accessories (like media remotes) or all the same apps/features that were on the previous system.

That said, while the lack of a startup sound is strange and not ideal, it's far from the most lacking feature on the PS4.

IMO it's backwards compatibility.

Backwards compatibility, though, is much harder to achieve when the platform architecture changes. There are rumours that native PS1 + PS2 backwards compatibility is comnig, while PS3 sees some form of backwards compatibility through PlayStation Now.

 

[Rephil]

Bring back the PS1 startup sound.

Use it forever.

so true

 

[ZeroMaverick]

Wait, it does have one!

It goes "bloompah" right before the tiles show up. Seriously.

 

[A Serious Man]

Well, this console war ended quickly.
