PSN Profiles: Please display PS5 games as rectangles

So how come Exophase is able to do it? Not meaning that passive aggressively but as a serious question. Their tiles are rectangular and normal. 

 

They seem to use completely different images. See AC Valhalla as an example. Only they might know where they get that from if Sly is just displaying what the API provides.

Way prefer the Exophase ones. PSNP ones look terrible. I'm not technically minded at all so I wouldn't have a clue how the sourcing of these images work. Thanks anyway.

 

EDIT for clarification: way prefer the look of PSNP overall, just not the ps5 tiles. Hopefully Sly will change them or give the option to choose.

My question is how is it going to look when you load up your list on the PS3's XMB? Will there be more space in the titles with the PS5 icons?

[IAMERORR]

Keep it as is, its actually representing what it looks like on the console.

Dumb question, but is there an official square and rectangle version of the Trophy Group icon in the backend for each PS5 trophy pack? For example, it shows the square version when you view the trophy list on PS5, but it will show the rectangle version when you view the PS5 trophy list on your PS4/PS3/PSVita? In that case, developers would have to make both trophy group icons when creating the trophy pack file? (Avatars work in a similar way where the developer has to upload six different resolutions so they can be viewed on PSP, Vita, PS3, PS4 and PS5). 

 

If so, is that how Exophase is getting the rectangle ones, and the square ones are just default at the current API endpoint or show up first in the payload.

Does the PS3 show trophies of other systems?

[KondeBra]

There is not much to do, PS5 have those square images and those are the ones that must be used in this site, since they are official. But clearly something bust be done on the UI of this site, the current situation is atrocious.

 

Exophase example is also poor, they are resizing the images.

If in online mode, yes. Otherwise only if it’s a PS3/PS4 or PS3/PS4/Vita

Lol, I knew this would trigger someone’s OCD.

 

I am fine with the square look, easier to decipher PS5 games from PS4 games at a glance.

[Potent_Delusions]

Well I will apologise, i thought I recalled PS5's lists being rectangular but they are indeed square. I guess PSNP's tiles don't suck but instead it's Sony's that suck. Wish we could have an option to have them rectangular here still though.

Sly mentioned to us he was looking into either using square images for all games using the images from the PlayStation Store, or switching to rectangular images for the PS5 games like all the other games use, but it may take a little while before he figures out which and puts it in place

Also isnt the extra space because individual trophys will have progress tracking?

[Ashbo]

Squares are awesome, just like the crisps!

Thanks for the heads up. I imagine also making sure the site fully works with the PS5 is his main concern currently.

Oh, I haven't used Online mode in forever, so that explains it.

Thanks for the info, bad move from Sony

I like the rectangles because it doesn't look so huge!! The home page looks odd with all that empty spaces...

You don't need to measure the distance, you can simply use your eyes and brain to be able to see that the square icons are twice the size of the rectangle ones.

Geez, that was a joke, pal. ?

I am asking PNP to please do the same so we can look at our trophy lists in peace.

 

There it is -- my cover-story excuse for missing the PS5 launch: Cause I don't want to soil my trophy list with squares.  THANK YOU @Dragonslayer_023!!!

The site is about providing a quick, searchable overview of the user’s gaming history - this is undermined the moment when entries are displayed inconsistently, even if it’s just a slight aesthetical / psychological hitch. So yeah, I think it’s quite important to consider coming up with a solution, the shape doesn’t matter - consistency and UX do.

 

Agreed. They need to be small, I like the small rectangles PS3/PS4/Vita games share and they load seamlessly with no issues on my computer.

 

Having bigger sizes for PS5 games means you have to scroll down more, and the result is a mess of games with much wasted space.

Square, rectangle, circle, triangle, hexagonal.  From a graphic design standpoint they need to be the same.

Same size specifically. I don't want big images making my profile look like shit. Right now those PS5 games look very inconsistent.

[MMDE]

No fan of cropping images, just saying.  

[Clafoutee]

If anyone use Stylish or Stylus Chrome extension, you can add this CSS :

 

img.game,
picture.game,
picture.game > img {
    height: 56px;
    object-fit: cover;
}

And target psnprofiles.com

 

It's quick and dirty, and I can't publish it on userstyles because the website lags more than the PSN store on my PS4, but it looks like this and it cures my OCD for now :
