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
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.
It'll be a nice feature to have if you're waiting for a specific group.
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.
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.
I can only comment on what I've seen and what it looks like to me is a huge mess.
Just more people overstating how 'good' the PS4 is. PS4 UI is nothing special either.

Beautiful? Cmon man. Yea, beauty is subjective but it's not even close imo. Maybe it'll be faster, more responsive, easier to navigate etc, because we don't know enough yet. But I dont see "beautiful" anywhere in that UI.
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:

I would say the same for someone analyzing or actually caring about an activity feed for a unfinished UI on a console

Agreed both look a bit disappointing so far imo but would like to try them in depth functionality wise before making a final judgement

AAAAaand we've finally reached "that" stage of the thread.
Actually MY opinion of what is good is correct!
Everything that you care about is wrong!!

I think it's clear we're all losing it until these things are out.
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.

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.
EDIT: Sorry, I misunderstood what that pop-up meant. Could be real then, I guess. Although it still looks a bit too snappy, and the way he ends up right in the action like that is suspicious.

It is a gaming forum.

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.

It was from disc to first level without any prior install. Not even menu.
There we go.
I believe you can "go to" anything if you can name it, that should be useful. The game was supposed to be loaded and matchmaking I think.
Edit: missed your edit.

History of half baked UI design? Jesus H.

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.

It's not like we're gonna get anything out of this, but it wasn't personal anyway. I've been doing stuff with NG for months now, so I don't want to say anything I might regret later
That's not "Jesus H.", but common sense to anyone that has used Windows as well as other Microsoft products over the years.
I would just love to see a nice 10-15 minute, direct-feed, real time demo of both UIs in their day one patch state. But since they are probably both being worked on for their day one patches, who knows if we'll get it. Hopefully soon.

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.
It should be quick to switch between things that are resident in memory.
And speeds of what, Skype, IE? Look how quickly Ryse (already loaded) pops up here: http://youtu.be/QDlPs7Xx2gA?t=1m

Do they intend on showing a real representation of Launch day UI?

Common sense is understanding difference of opinion. I have used Microsoft products especially Xbox Live and I don't agree with you at all.

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.
I've been using Windows for years and never had any major issues with the UI.
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.It isn't about speed in this video, it's about functionality/options.

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.

Is this the bad stuff CBoaT was referring to?
Well, everyone has opinions these days.
That doesn't mean a thing, their UI's very often lack in consistency as well as usability. Modern very much suffers a lack of coherency in its Windows 8 iteration as well as having many features that are hidden in non-obvious manners (the 8.1 iteration is a bit better at this).
You guys are way too invested in your little war.
Bingo. It's an ad. Unless you're recording an informercial, this is how you do it.

Uh..huh. Don't see a war in those posts...
No, just that people who actually thought that was real needed to be brought back down from the dream world.
Yeah, we can't have people actually enjoying something. And in case you missed it, the commercial isn't about speed. It's about showing functionality(thus the 'simulated' message). Nothing Mort said in any way changes even a little bit how the UI is supposed to function, which is what is being advertised.

The video is the idea of what they are trying to achieve.
