Gotta agree, XBO UI looks much better than this. Hopefully they're working on something more elegant that's just as light on system resources, but the UI isn't really a major issue that'll make or break a system just yet. There's time for improvement on that after launch.

The person narrating that video is mad ignorant. And funny him complaining about the French, he sort of sounds like a stereotypical American with a thick French accent.

This is exactly what Microsoft said and then when we start getting some official videos, the parts we have already seen from leaks all look the exact same. I'm sure there are plenty of little tweaks but what is showing in that video is likely largely what we're getting.

Good thing that's not the main UI and is just the social area...
You can't compare the main interface of one to just one segment of another. The official videos from Sony and authorized hands on videos will give us the full scoop.

Dude, it comes out in less than 30 days. I think anything we see is going to be pretty close to what we get at launch. I would assume manufacturing is starting and the OS is being installed to drives. Including shipments, it still needs to travel for about a week to get where they are launching and still get to stores a few days early for presentation and stock. That makes it less than 20 days out.
I would assume the final OS is probably already on the HDD and what we're seeing is very close to final sans day 1 updates. Even 'debug units' will be pretty close to final.
'I've just eaten the best meal ever, but the cutlery was shite.'
That's what you're saying here.
You don't think people would notice if fancy restaurants served their food on paper plates, and gave you plastic forks and knives to eat it with? Doesn't mean the food isn't great.

Nah, I expect to be visually stimulated. I see where he's coming from. Everybody likes to make their phones, PC's, tablets their own and to have a little flair. This is a basic expectation of electronics these days.
Ha, better way to put it. It's all about the whole experience.
Totally agree
Why he simply upload with the french voices, there are many people that can translate and upload again with the translation.
But not he had to put shitting rock music(and i like in general rock music), and fuck everyone with he comments and he bad editing Dx
But if you mute the video and play this instead the video looks funny xD

I'm a form follow function person - I don't like excessive decoration, and twinkly things in a UI just screams 'novelty'.I find them intrusive, distracting and pretty soon after that, annoying. It's one of the reasons I like XMB as it is - it's simple, direct and logical.

No, but by the same mark I wouldn't mark them down for using plain, functional dinner plates & cutlery over something more flowery.
You wouldn't, but others would. It's why "plating" is a review category.

Sony said it's a debug unit and not final.
Devkits and debug kits don't typically get all the bells and whistles nor do they get upgraded on the same schedule and path as the consumer devices. We have no idea when the last time that kit right there was updated, so for all we know we're critiquing a months old build.
Yes, it IS, too early to shit on it. Wait for official videos and hands on of a CONSUMER PS4.
Holy shit this is huge!!! Hes very reputable i watch his stuff all the time.
I need to know what wesbite/restaurant guide includes plating in a review.
Actually, no I don't. Anyone who thinks they can put a numerical value of any kind on eating out isn't worth reading.

Isn't that the actual game UI? I think the game is already launched.

At least they've made it fast. It really looks like Sony has no design philosophy here. Looks like a drag to navigate through.
That looks more like Ubisoft's client then PS4. UPlay takes over the game before you play perhaps?

My bad; I thought that was from the main user interface on PS4. I thought it was kinda weird for a sec' it'd be the main hub.
Yes, that's the Game's UI. However, the keyboard that pops up is the PS4's OS keyboard.
I just wish he would have pressed R3 and tried using the touchpad to type.

If that's how you want to look at it then sure, there's a reason why nice restaurants don't give you plastic forks. The entire experience matters.

Different philosophies at work. Take the 360 vs PS3. Microsoft spends a lot of time, money and effort to make their UI better than Sony's. And it shows, it is better. Why? They want you to spend time in it because they're selling ad space. They merged the store into the UI so that you're constantly being sold to. If their UI was plain and boring like Sony's with a separate store that took forever to load and navigate, you'd spend less time in consumer-mode. Sony's philosophy is to get you from the On button to the game as quickly as possible. When I'm in gamer mode, I prefer Sony's method. When I'm in consumer mode and want to see what's new etc I prefer Microsoft's approach. Ideally for me Microsoft's approach is better, but they ultimately ruin the experience by polluting the UI with fast food, cellphone etc commercials.

Good points.
I'd still prefer the better UI though. If it means overlooking ads then so be it. I can still boot a game instantly on 360 even with it's more elaborate UI. Give me the better brand integration and cool transitions. Shouldn't they be pimping stuff on PS+? Hit me with ads for games and other things to spend my money on but do it in a way that'll entice me to do it.
I just wish Sony would've done something with it instead of the static blue background. Give us some cool transitions utilizing the shapes pattern and ribbon. I want to see the graphics on the console packaging in motion. It doesn't have to be some crazy 3 second long animation, just something subtle and sleek that gives me the impression that they wanted to make the entire experience enjoyable as soon as I turn on the system.
It just sucks seeing the potential go to waste.

I'm tired of these shitty quality videos. Shouldn't we have official walkthroughs of each console maker available on their blogs, stores, social media pages, etc by now? We're one month away from launch.

Video was awful but i like the UI. You can tell it's designed with Dynamic themes in mind which is great. My only complaint is the main XMB doesn't look organized. There really needs to be a Game folder.

Someone needs to make a series of GIFs that show the interesting parts because that video is fucking unwatchable.
That screen is basically PS4's version of the trending section like on Xbone.
Plus we haven't actually seen that screen running on a production PS4 yet.
You must be suffering from a traumatising issue that burned advertisements in your retina. I can't think of any other reason you would see ads in the videos of the Xbox One UI, because there weren't any.
Edit: Don't mean to insult you with that first sentence, just trying to be funny here
Are you one of those people that think the "Recommended" section of the front page of the XBO is not a section for Ads??
HawksWinStanley

Do those things have to go hand in hand though? Why do we have to settle when there's really no reason we can't have a great looking, yet functional, UI without ads.
.
Also, why haven't Sony done anything official such as videos yet showcasing this? Where is the outcry for someone from Sony to join GAF and feed us some legit information?
Assuming that this is the only choice you'll have for a background is being kind of ignorant. Of course you'll be able to change to different backgrounds/themes on the final system. This is a dev kit, it's missing a lot of the bells and whistles the final product will allow for and have.
Shame on Microsoft for recommending me games based on the games I own and play a lot!
To answer your questions, yes I am one of those people. Speaking of the recommended thing, I've actually bought some titles on Xbox 360 I've never heard of thanks to the recommended tile. No regrets there.

I'm not really talking about the background. I'm talking about how everything flows and transitions. Changing the wallpaper on my iPhone doesn't make the screen transitions and icons move or interact any differently. Yes, a different background theme will help it look less static but the basic gradient background is the least of my problems with it. Hell, the XB1 UI is just solid colors. That's even more basic than a blue gradient and ribbon but the way their UI flows and transitions is just all around better and more engaging.
I'm willing to bet the UI looks pretty much exactly the same on launch.

Sony's already confirmed that they're going to do one that'll be posted on the PSblog in the future. And an insider has said that Andrew Goldfarb will be doing a walkthrough for IGN soon.
That is good to hear. I know they have a supposed level of comfort due to MS's missteps but they should get that out sooner rather than later.
Sony hasn't had confusing PR which would need clarification.
They haven't needed any as MS provided it for them. Now that they are a front runner supposedly it is time to show some official videos, etc of the UI, features.
I see you're a fellow Workaholics fan so I'll go easy on you--but how about you wait until the UI is...I dunno finished? That was a debug kit..like bottom of the barrel. Reserve your judgement until Sony releases a UI video.
