Yeah, not gonna happen...even a game like killzone, with completely stripped out splash screens and epilepsy warnings takes a little over 2 and a half minutes to go from launch to menu's.
That's from first install to menus, not launch to menu.

Different external design (not by that much), I don't think the code itself has changed that much. And I also don't think the "old" dash is older than 1-1.5 months.
Anyway, I'd better leave this conversation
Either way, if the X1 matchmaking takes so long to find a game that it needs a dedicated service runing in the background, count me out. Everyone can bear some seconds waiting in matchmaking.
I don't think I've ever seen it outside of pictures or the badly shot video of it when Yosh was using it. Only thing I can comment on is the nasty looking activity feed that I know was official. It was awful.
We've seen quite a few screenshots of the PS4 UI: In my opinion, it is much more beautifully designed than the tiles UI the Xbone has. That one just isn't attractive (same for Windows Phone and Windows 8).

It looks bland to me, far from beautiful.

Yeah, he can have that silly debate with himself. I bet he still loses.
Just more people overstating how 'good' the PS4 is. PS4 UI is nothing special either.
I would say the same for someone analyzing or actually caring about an activity feed for a unfinished UI on a console
I don't think you're telling the full story. There's no way a cached/installed Killzone takes 2.5 minutes to load from the main UI.

If it's idle in memory using the "not there on day 1" suspend/resume feature...no.
But i don't see why it wouldn't need a decent bit of time to boot up from scratch. Certainly more time then the INSTANT launch shown in this video of titanfall...but as netBuff said though, maybe that was from install to menu, not launch to menu... i just remember reading the GG guys saying 2.44minutes or something to reach the main menu.
According to someone who has been working with the UI for months... the video is bullshit. Not even close to those speeds.
Not that you needed a dev to tell you that video is fake. Much like Sony's video.
Yeah, because saying "Xbox, go to Pacfic Rim" is so much fast than just pressing the A button when it's already selected! Also, him jumping into Titanfall instantly was obviously faked BS, as it had just been downloaded and therefore couldn't have been suspended.
I completely agree, Xbone UI looks extremely bland and uninteresting. I'm also questioning the usability of their "hidden menus" and "menus behind menus" as well as horizontal scrolling philosophy. Microsoft's history of half-baked UI design is certainly showing (of course, I haven't used the UI so far, so maybe the final product will surprise).
Just for comparison's sake:
Speeded up but still very nice features.
We got a peak at the "old" build for the first time at Gamescom so its got a little age on it. Could have been the same build from E3 for all we know. Anyway I also don't want to spend the night arguing over dev builds so I'm out of the convo as well man.
History of half baked UI design? Jesus H.
Sony really needs to start putting out some UI videos. If they don't put any out this week they NEED to put some out the first week of November.
Is it speed up though? In the past, videos like that would have a footnote stating "images accelerated" or something like that. I know it looks like it would not be that fast in real life, but can you imagine if it was? I mean, perhaps after some updates and optimizations it will be, but it sure would be nice if it was that fast at launch.
Screens simulated; appearance will vary
I believe you can "go to" anything if you can name it, that should be useful.

That's not "Jesus H.", but common sense to anyone that has used Windows as well as other Microsoft products over the years.

Excuse me, could you tell me where I can buy this "common sense" you're referring to? So I know what I need to avoid.That's not "Jesus H.", but common sense to anyone that has used Windows as well as other Microsoft products over the years.
This video is simply showing that you can use both methods. A Use the controller to select to object you want. B Use Kinect and simply say the name of the object you want.Sure, but in this video the game is already the current selection, so he's just wasting his time by using voice commands rather than just pressing the A button on the controller to start it.

Common sense is understanding difference of opinion. I have used Microsoft products especially Xbox Live and I don't agree with you at all.
Yes, it is Jesus H as they design the most widely used UI on the planet, UI's that everyone cries about when they're changed even a little bit.
There we go.
Boom.
It isn't about speed in this video, it's about functionality/options.
You guys are way too invested in your little war.
Uh..huh. Don't see a war in those posts...You guys are way too invested in your little war.

Respond to truth being layed down by insider = invested in console war. Get off my shit.
No, just that people who actually thought that was real needed to be brought back down from the dream world.
