And the other players were obviously not shooting at him.Fair enough for a press conference demo but lets not kid ourselves.

You know for the first few seconds, I thought it was Kaz....
But that UI looks sexy

This is what I'm thinking too actually. I'm just hoping for a confirmation, or better yet, a full in-detailed UI walkthrough video.
was happy to see that

That's nice as hell. Finally getting to see it in action is cool. Really looks slick and quick. Then no ads make it all the better.
Amazing footage. Livestream [and the MP game] really looked like it was running at ~60fps.
Wow -- it looks like the current PlayStation Store somehow integrated with the XMB. You pull up the game on the dashboard and you see trailers, videos, live streams, etc. It also appears to be seamless and it's almost like what they had in mind with the current PS Store.
I'm actually excited for the PS4 but still cautious. I want to hear how much of that is dependent on PS+ and how much of it is not. In other words, do I need to be a PS+ member for some of those features to be operational?

I'm really interested in seeing the next gen console UI demoed in full. It was nice to see a sampling of the PS4 today. I'm hoping the menus move a little quicker come launch day though.
Edit: seeing that 60fps video made it look a lot smoother.

am I the only one that saw where the UI lagged? It was a spilt second, but it was there.

It looked absolutely beautiful. Very snappy and quick. Not very cluttered and really good looking. Very impressed. Awesome way to start the show too!
I remember back around E3 (or was when they announced the PS4, anyway) time I made a post mentioning that Sony should open the show with the U.I and then booting into a live demo of Killzone. They totally did it!

DId anyone else notice that he was typing using his finger on the touch pad. Thats gong to be so much easier to use than the d-pad. Big help I would say.
Yeah there was some very minor stuttering there. It'll probably be sorted out before launch.
danhese007 said in another thread that there's a separate library view. My guess is it would be under the PS Store icon in the top bar.

i didnt even know yosp was the one handling the demo because of that crappy wide camera angle the whole time
That was the touchpad? Amazing. I thought it was PS Move but what you said makes a lot more sense.

Yeah that was amazing. I hope every single game supports instant joining like that.
Yeah, whoever was handling the camera and feed during the gameplay and trailers was awful. It was really obnoxious how they kept cutting back to the audience shots in the middle of the damn trailers.
It's confirmed that the streaming features (both watching and making a stream) are not behind a pay wall. The Join feature is, of course.
Will have check it when I get home, having problems on my mobile but the posts here sound mainly positive which is good.
Funnily enough I like my women the same!

Seems like Sony does it again. People wanted to see the UI, so Sony shows us UI and in a way, that gamers would realistically use it. Seemed alot more natural than the MS UI presentation of dudes watching Price is Right and skyping to talk about sports.
Probably on a dev by dev basis. Hopefully more realize that their logos aren't necessary after the initial first boot/install of the game.

A direct feed of the UI footage would of been nice
Those shitty camera angles really ruined that opening bit.

Okay, after seeing this video, I retract some of the negativity I had about the PS4 UI. (What the hell was the Gamescom cameraman and director thinking?)
This looks very good overall. My only niggles are a few instances of minor rough transitions while navigating from game to game...so some further optimization is needed. And I'm not crazy about the on-screen keyboard interface. And although we can change the background to whatever we want (I know I will)...Sony should still rethink their choice of default background. Many users (especially casuals) won't bother to change the background. I love blue but it's too "strong" here...a darker blue would be a lot better and easier on people's eyes.
The jump from OS to MP game in six seconds was very neat, but I'm going to retain some skepticism about that for now. Like others said the environment may have been tightly controlled. I want to see what the jump time is for a typical end user connected via ethernet as well as via wireless-N (too bad it doesn't support wireless-AC).

Ruined the whole conference.
I could have done without the extreme closeup of Jim Ryan's face.

PSN as a whole is linked to the UI. The game UI is called Live Tiles because they are dynamic akin to Windows 8 Live tile. They can show realtime game scores and infos as they happen in game, shared videos, screenshots and other things related to that specific game. The tiles are created using HTML5 and CSS/Javascript and they can feature animations and audio, each developer has to create one for their game like PS Vita Live Area. You can launch a specific event in game from the live tile just like how you can join multiplayer games from friends profile or from streaming games without having to boot the game and going through in game UI.

More direct feeds of everything would be nice. Wide angle shots of the crowd in the dark sucked.

I agree. The angles at last year's show were much better.
