PS4 XMB @ EuroGamer Expo (Off screen footage)

This for me as well. I know some folks like it, but damn is it bland, boring and dull to me.

I can live with it, but I certainly don't love it.

Is the mock-up from the reveal not an option any longer?

It's fast to navigate, simple and can be done by muscle memory. XMB fucking decimates most UI's for consoles. Thank fuck they are sticking with a distant cousin of it.

Yeah, my old company, my new company may give away what im doing right now.

I have no reason not to believe it but I hope you realize you'll have to verify your identity with mods if they ask you to. Good luck.

PS. I also found your home address. It's unbelievable how powerful Google is nowadays ;).

Which mock up are you talking about?

People are completely misunderstanding what they are seeing in this video, it seems. I posted this pages ago but it's worth posting again:

THIS IS THE MAIN HOME SCREEN:

When you press 'up' on your controller from that screen, you are taken to the XMB shown in the video.

So, again, BOTH the sort of tile-based new interface and the old XMB are present in the UI.

Just to kind of visually expand what you said:

This is the main home screen:

You press up, and you get to things you may often want to go to or check, set up with an XMB-type look:

And also, if you press overview on each game's screen, you're prevented with the full game screen, where you get the nice background wallpaper and all kinds of info:

But only if you click on it, there's nothing when you just hover over the game? Like how the current XMB on the PS3 does.

Come on guys, I just used Google and Facebook search for a minute, it's all there. I was trying to figure out what game he's working on, isn't that obvious? Sorry to scare you off but... maybe you should be a bit concerned about your personal data available to everybody. Try a search on yourself and see what it gives you.

(woo hoooo ;)

Any word if they changed trophy syncing to the server, maybe to a background process. That would be tops. Having to sit there and watch the progress bar while syncing stinks.

If your on plus (which everyone will be with PS4) you can set when the system turns on/off to sync that days trophies you collected so you wont have to wait so long to sync anymore.It changes your life.

UI looks good. Only thing I'm concerned about is having all of the games just tiling next to one another. There had better be a way to utilize a library or something of that sort, categorized by Genre, alphabetized, etc.

Also, I've been on the internet long enough to know that Tiduz is likely a fraud, so I'm not putting any credence in what he/she is posting in here.

So tired of shady, "anonymous insiders".

Hype Train conductor. Works harder than it steams.
Looks nice but where do you store photos,music,video's etc?
And what codecs does it support? We have really got little information on those things
 
Can't make a thread so thought I'd post here, maybe someone can make the thread?:

Shu on DS4's light bar affecting your tv screen:

Yoshida also addressed concerns of being unable to switch off the DualShock 4′s light bar and how the light can probably reflect off of the screen during gameplay. According to Yoshida, the chances of this happening are rare as the LED is angled down.

I guess he could be right.

He also confirmed that they are trying to launch the PlayStation App in North America before the launch of PS4.

Eh, I saw that tweet, problem is I tend to hold the controller at an angle that would point the LED directly at the screen. I doubt I'll have problems with reflection as I don't have a shiny TV and I don't sit close to it, but I'm pretty sure people are still going to have issues with it.

I TRIED to make this clear in my post a few pages back but nobody here apparently reads. :p People are still saying this has XMB when all it has are a few icons that resemble XMB icons. The functionality is completely different.

Well, it's a lot more like XMB than I expected.

But then again, I don't have much faith in Sony's GUI designs, so maybe them not breaking what doesn't need fixing was the best course.

Also, that's fast as fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.

edit: That lightbar thing is going to be such a big annoyance, I'm betting it'll be a regular part in people's "First day with PS4!" impressions. I can see it coming a mile away.

Ya I think that had a lot to do with Sony shoe-horning in trophies early in the life-cycle and never accounted for it. They will be instant when you bring up a profile like on XBL.

Chris relax sheesh. We read your post. People can say that if thats the way the UI feels to them. Technical specificity is not always necessary. Figure it must be painful for you anyway to speak of all this 'Sony stuff' lol...

*Sorry about the dbl post Mods....

that DemonNite replied to Tidux + (sort of) backed up his statement says a lot, imo.

ok, the agony of waiting is starting to kick in recently with all the videos and news. seeing the smaller intricacies make it feel more real. finally, it is starting to feel like the next generation of consoles are really at our doorstep.

I dont care how it looks, what matters is whether its fast.

And i am happy to see that it is. The PS3 store and Xbox OS in general are too slow, there is a delay in pretty much every action you take.
