You can display your real name (first name, last name) alongside your PSN ID. Your Real name will then display above your PSN ID on-screen.
You can choose any First and Last name you wish
I am pretty sure you can choose either PSN ID avatar or any photo (we have been on a Dev kit at least)
Not sure about Playroom, it's not on the Dev kit SDK
Not seen an option for creating folders, it's just the left to right sliding screen (they'll need to though as it will get busy!)
Not looked at custom wallpaper selections, I will check (don't see why they wouldn't though)
Can't really say, our game isn't announced yet either.
Anyone know how the PS4 handles downloads? Does it still need double the space of the file on the harddrive for it download it and does it still create those install bubbles after you download a game?
pretty sure it doesn't anymore since they have the whole play as you download when you reach a certain amount of GB

Can you make it so that you can only display real (fake) name without the PSN ID alongside with it?
So for clarification I will not be forced to use my real name, correct?
Ooh I see, content promotion doesn't count as ad when it's from Sony. Next you'll be telling me that James Bond's Sony Vaio fetish is part of the character!
When Microsoft starts giving music and movies away for free we can argue. Until then, apples and oranges.
Hahah I wish!! I'm just lucky enough to have seen it before due to my job Can't answer anything though, sorry!
Point is, I'd rather be called Steve than Cremsteve. I assume many feel the same way. It's an old man thing.The exact same question I'm wanting to have answered. It's dumb if my new name is just displayed alongside my old name. What's the point?
They did start giving away movies, you must have missed that one.

Do you know if there's a library for downloaded games?

What ... the ... eff...
That's one of the reasons I'll just leave my screen idling sometimes. It's probably the best part of the whole PS3 UI. It adds something fresh and it's just... elegant.Looks fast and functional, which is all I wanted. Also, as someone who uses the default background on PS3, I wonder if the background on PS4 will change colour depending on the time of day... I always thought that was kinda cool.
I guess those are ads? I mean, do you consider the space that the developers uses on each live area to show off their website and other games, ads? Cause, they can do whatever they want with that space.Thats only in Europe I think? And yeah I'd be -shocked- if there werent ads for the PS4. Maybe not as blatant and egregious as the XB1 but ads related to gaming.
The Vita has built in ads when you hit the PS button you get logos for various games at the bottom of the screen. I'd imagine it will be more complex advertising with the PS4.

Then it's an app. It's also a game. But an ad? That's stretching it somewhat.It's about as annoying as having a permanent non-deletable ad for a demo of a game I have no interest in. Ah, that's because it's exactly what it is, calling it a free game is stretching it somewhat.
Looks fast and smooth, and also very beautiful. Amazing UI. Great work Sony.
Those 3.5GBs of GDDR5 RAM put to good use.
I mean 1.5 GBs. or 1GB. or 2GBs. Did we ever find out exactly how much is allocated to the XMB?

Thanks for answering fellow GAFfer, it would be nice if I could get more info regarding that to be honest since I'm not an expert in this matter.

Wait, I thought they had a totally new interface.
Or can you switch and use the xmb?
Looks great and all but I want to see how fast the Store loads. It feels like at least 10 seconds on the PS3.
It depends on your internet connection.i agree, the store is horrifically slow on ps3. and not just the initial start-up, navigating when you're in the store sucks too.
i hope they built the store into the XMB this time instead of a shitty app. i also want to be able to look at a game and be able to find all dlc/extra content for that game easily in one place (like the "extras" menu on 360)
otherwise everything looks great.
Live Tiles for games have a 'Related Items' tab, I'm assuming DLC will be viewable from there.i agree, the store is horrifically slow on ps3. and not just the initial start-up, navigating when you're in the store sucks too.

I absolutely hate that they use the ps3 icons.
Wow good stuff KennyLinder, thanks for the information and good luck with the game you are working on.
