Support NeoGAF

Kind of makes sense. With so many icons and information from the OS it would hard to even see what the picture looked like.

While you posted this in thread about a similar thing on Xbox One.

So much for customisation...

Hypocrite much?

No big deal. I'm sure it's something that will evolve over the life of the machine.

 

[zerokoolpsx]

So what about our avatars? Can we still use our old one or make new ones?

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

That is what I call disappointing.

 

[Xamdou]

Sony got to make money off em dynamic themes somehow..

 

[Captain Tuttle]

But 8 gig of GDDR5!

lol

 

[params7]

why would they do this? i was expecting custom avatars already. Things like this is why I really fucking hope Steambox obliterates the console landscape and sets the open-standard.

 

[Nibel]

And here I was sitting prepared with big-ass MGSV and FFXV wallpapers

Sucks ass, man

 

[PaulLFC]

Doesn't bother me too much but wasn't there a quote something about the "theme of the PS4 being customisation"? This would seem to go against that, as would no custom soundtracks from your own music if indeed that turns out to be true (which I doubt / hope it isn't).

 

[ParityBit]

Surprised? No. If they have no competition they have no reason to listen to gamers.

LMAO. First time I see it. Gonna save it. I have a feeling there would be plenty times where I could use this for fun.

 

[Uno Venova]

After all the customization the PS3 had they do this? Wow.

 

[The Elite]

They need something for future firmware updates.

After all the customization the PS3 had they do this? Wow.

A lot of it wasn't there at launch.

 

[KingSnake]

It makes sense. They said since the announcement they built the console just with the games in mind.

Spoiler

innocent joke

I like the blue interface from the PS4.
I dislike the black interface from the xbox one.

I see you've also conveniently left off my edit saying that I didn't mind this as I liked the blue. Nice.

sad face

 

[TacticalFox88]

I'm sure they'll patch something in once everyone uproars, but jesus christ WHY!?

 

[Insane Metal]

That is so idiotic, I don't even................ I mean, wtf?

 

[Killthee]

I'm sure they'll patch it in once they have some themes for sale up on the store.

 

[V_Ben]

Yeah, totally not a feature you'd expect them to have for launch. Maybe they'll add it in later.

 

[Magwik]

Disappointing.

 

[Azusa]

This is sad news, indeed.
I have gorgeous Lightning on Odin as my PS3 theme and I would really wanted her in my PS4

 

[Replicant]

Surprised? No. If they have no competition they have no reason to listen to gamers.

Xbone 720p and MS are dead already? Lemme set up a fiesta!

 

[params7]

maybe the high preorders is giving them the confidence to go back to pre-ps3 mentality.

 

[Loudninja]

Surprised? No. If they have no competition they have no reason to listen to gamers.

What?

 

[BlackJace]

FUCK

 

[ItIsOkBro]

Maybe there are pixel/extension requirements, so you can‘t use any picture?

 

[Metfanant]

That's....dumb?


Sony is such a bizarro company in terms of designing an OS...they get so mAny things right...but they make some really forehead slapping decisions sometimes...this is one of them...there is literally ZERO reason to not allow a picture as a background lol

 

[ParityBit]

Xbone 720p and MS are dead already? Lemme set up a fiesta!

And Nintendo. According to NeoGaf!

I am have both pre-ordered so I get the best of both worlds

 

[Dreams-Visions]

WAT

Not even themes? The fuck?

This. Why the fuck not, Sony?

 

[Creaking]

Man! I don't use wallpapers on my PS3 anymore, but I like to know that I can!


Someone ask him why.

 

[TimeEffect]

Massively disappointed. I don't want that fugly blue.

What a letdown

They just have to allow this via patch, I can't believe they would remove this.

 

[boinx]

 

[Visualante2]

Wrong thread?

I'm joking because I read it as: "can I put a picture of Shu Yoshida as my background?". You can't change the Xbone background either according to Penello, but at least you can change the tile colour.

 

[Tsundere]

Probably will be added post-launch.

 

[Durante]

That's silly.

 

[McHuj]

For all the shit MS gets about being 6 months behind, nothing about Sony seems to indicate anything better on their front.

Both seem to be overpromised and will be under delivered at least on the OS front.

 

[Domcorleone]

I loved that about the ps3, I hate having a drab background. How come MS and Sony don't allow us to customize? Its the dumbest thing ever

 

[LowParry]

You'd think they'd carry over PS3 features into 4. Eh, not a big deal but still, kind of odd to not see something like that. Ah well.

And really, some of you here are being waaaaaaaaaay too dramatic. lol

 

[jay]

Consoles do not need wallpaper. They should all play this tune upon booting up and then go straight into a game.

 

[Shadow780]

PS4 Flower dynamic theme is all I need.

 

[TimeEffect]

This. Why the fuck not, Sony?

Maybe Sony intends to sell themes...

 

[Gxgear]

I'd be okay if there's dynamic themes.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

The generation. I canceled that

 

[Metra]

I can't believe this is serious

 

[LiquidMetal14]

I will live but this is stupid not to include.

PS4 Flower dynamic theme is all I need.

Have these been confirmed for PS4?

 

[Americanmushroom]

lol, future updates are gonna fix it. gaf is so awesome at overreactions lol

 

[ICPEE]

Lol these gifs are killing me

Just because you like the blue. Doesn't change anything about being a hypocrite. Also how can I leave out an edit of your post, when you edit it at the same time as I post mine? I don't have access to a time machine.

 

[Revolutionary]

I'm sure it will be possible in time.
