Update: Higher res version with a better camera angle over at Gamersyde.

The PS YouTube account posted a video of the Gamescom demo with a closer angle: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EaPoLJyDZmM&sns=tw

This looked quite good. Nice and snappy. And the XMB isn't totally dead, I saw it lurking in there during Shu's demo.

Pleasing to see streaming/spectating is in from day one.

And joining multiplayer from spectating...in 7 seconds? Is nice.

I like how fast he hoped into that game from the UI. I'm guessing that you have to have the game downloaded or either inside the system, but still it was cool.

The UI overall doesn't look that bad. I'm just happy to hear that I can finally play music while playing games. Fighting games are going to get more interesting now :)

I can't believe that sony wasn't able to do this on the ps3.

Nothing on party system, cross game chat or party matchmaking. The "join" function seemed neat - but not sure how it works, as in, does it join the party, chat and game all at once?

The loading time from UI to in game was probably the most impressive thing from Gamescom to me. It was a tangible example of how well the UI worked, which gave me confidence it was pretty snappy in general. I love game announcements, but stuff like this is perhaps indicative of overall performance for the OS. The other thing that I liked from Sony was the range of titles they announced felt genuinely diverse, but that's for another topic.

Love how easy it is to jump in and out of a game. Almost makes me want to try going digital, at least for multiplayer centric games.

As I suspected, it's the cluster of boxes thing mixed with the PS3's crossbar

I like it. Hopefully you get some flexibility with backgrounds and themes

I did thought it was interesting that Parties has it's own section up on the top bar.

Hope we get a full walkthrough soon.

It'd be cool if they got Chrome or Firefox on the PS4. The build in browser on the PS3 and Vita are seriously lacking. Sony seems to be in good with Google, they should have Chrome up on that thing.

Was he controlling the keyboard with the PS Eye and controller light?

I thought it looked like it now uses a cursor to select the letter instead of moving in a grid, but I assume he was still using the thumbsticks.

I'm still not a fan of every fucking thing on the system being in a horizontal row and no way to search or filter it. I'm going all digital so that will become a large list pretty fast for me...

Remember, the controller has a touchpad.

Someone in the last UI thread said there's a library view and the horizontal row they've been showing is limited to items you've recently launched.

This is the main UI which shows your most recently played games, the games library UI is different from this.

Liking it a lot more than the XBONE UI. It just seems more alive and welcoming to the user and that is a big point they should touch on in marketing.

Insane For Sony
Not too happy about this. Looks like the new PS store HTML crap, only running on a faster machine. It just lacks that smooth acceleration and seamless easing of XMB/Vita transitions.

But, it works well and it seems quite thought out, so that's great.

Looks like a fan mock-up. PS3's OS was classy.

Also, this might not be running live, that's probably why Yoshida is sitting on that large chair, hiding his hands and controller all the time. At least, that's what it seems from the video.

We'll see when it's released.

I like what I'm seeing, smooth snappy. Love being able to just watch a friend real quick then join at any time. That's really sweet.

OS UI looks really good I like the pptions pop up on top looks a nice way to do it way still having a greater focus on the rest. The game launching/joining server was really impressive speed, even if the game were already in background, just a server join and level load seems crazy.

Dislike the PS3 OS personally. Seemed suited better to a Blu Ray player than a online gaming system.
