I guess licensing wasn't an issue when they published screens like this?
I'll stop with the Family guy references, I just never found something so fitting.

And MS had a live UI running at E3 in June. Doesn't mean that it was feature complete.

What could be worse than this? You cant use the console without a valid credit card? Overheating? launch consoles wont be able to play future games?
I have a hard time thinking it will get worse than this.
Achievements/Friends/etc should get their own tab. From looking at this screen these feature come off as unimportant to stuff such as music and movies.I guess licensing wasn't an issue when they published screens like this?
Oh god, my sides :lol
& still no credible sources.

Like I said earlier in another thread, there's been contexual proof of some of the rumors. Not in an official statement from MS or Sony (why would they?), but in other developments that are logically deducible to particular rumors.So not wanting to believe rumors with no real proof is giving junior members a bad rap?
Just because confirms aren't painted in big broad rainbow strokes doesn't make them any less of a confirm. You gotta "use your own brain".
Linking Park?
Holy shit that is amazing...
Just curious - are you concerned that the kid video could have been doctored in some way?

Agreed. Sony is being incredibly tight lipped about their UI. I really think everyone on both sides needs to lay off of MS and Sony. Can't we just let them spend the next 3 weeks finalizing the product so we can see for ourselves.
Sony isn't saying anything, thus people are pretty much leaving them alone on their requests. MS keeps responding with tidbits that just fuel the fire. MS has to learn that sometimes its easier to let the console warriors battle it out and watch from afar. Once you give a little they keep asking for more.

Most of the posts on here regarding the tweet completely proves that virtually NOBODY in this thread works in a company as large as Microsoft.
Microsoft has contracts that they are RESPONSIBLE by LAW to uphold 100%. Maybe one of their agreements with their advert companies is NOT to blur their content out for demos, it would not be the first time that has happened.
Not to mention licensing involves both companies legal departments and contracts. Its not as simple as flipping a fucking switch like most of you would want to believe. Its absolutely pathetic the level this console fanboy war has gotten to

I just don't know, would probably tend to agree more maybe if the circumstances were different.

He retired, but remains as an advisor to Balmer.
Never mind. I had the timeline (and even thread) of his post wrong. This could very well be the info that he was alluding to.
(I thought bish posted that in the other thread discussing what famousmortimer wrote in his blog which was discussing pretty much the stuff this topic is about, and hence thought even this stuff is not as bad as what cboat had told him about)
It is not just the shaved head, but the earrings that complete the look.

Pretty much. Penello admitted as such.
OK PIE IN THE SKY BULLSHIT THEORY TIME
Watch_Dogs got delayed, right? What if it's similar to the Rayman Legends delay, IE delayed to come out on all platforms?
... Including the Xbox One, which might not be ready it seems?
The delay on Watch_Dogs is weird. Really weird. Like, done for business weird. Either they wanted a spring franchise... Or something is wrong.
Again, just throwing shit at the wall here...

Christ, worst launch ever? I think so. Even if this happens to be all BS, there hasn't been so much negativity towards a new console like this ever. Holy shit.
And Albert's spin abilities would make even Michael Jackson blush. So embarrassing.
We made direct x! We have retail kits! We have better bandwidth! upscaled 1080p = native 1080p! We delayed because of localized X1 dash support not yields! We can't make real time demos because
licensing issues!

ads aren't ready
There's at least 3 gaf mod sanctioned sources.
That was staged though and probably had nothing to do with the actual UI.

Define credible?
So let me get this straight...
This means all UI videos we have seen to this date, have been "representations" of the final product? Since you never had the licences to show the real one off? So technically we have never seen a real UI running on xb1?
Also...those replies...what do they think they would be told when they ask if it will be as fast/seamless at launch?
Albert: "nahh...it will be slower and sluggish..."
durrrr
Well of course the have stuff relatively working internally, the problem is that a few weeks before launch they're not even functional enough for a superficial presentation.
Ok - but I wasn't commenting on feature completeness.

ASK TITANFALL
Link?
Not at all...but all it showed was him going back and forth between the tiles and then clicking on Ryse. At least with the PS4 UI vids, they go into the menus more (not as much as I would like, but more).
Just like removing DRM amirite?

I don't understand... Sony launches sooner and there's no UI vid to speak of. And no, "Dude, I don't have that, man." doesn't count.
Even if MS put something together now, using already licensed assets, its too late. The GAF hate machine it so spun up they no one here would believe anything they say anyway. "Star Trek again! This shit is so fake!"
Penello seems unconcerned, but I'm not sure the tweets make much sense, since we know the Titanfall footage is stock:
This is exactly the reason why i don't care if Penello is subjected to the fury of GAF everytime he opens his mouth. I mean honestly, could he be more transparent ?

Is there any chance there will be pre-launch hands on that isn't embargoed to confirm or dispel the rumors?

Found a post by Albert on Reddit
Marvel
could never
Not answering his Cell.
Albert Spinello is more trustworthy. We know his name and his face, we don't know anything about those GAF users or mods. They could be secret Sony employees. Or people paid by Edward Snowden. Why Edward Snowden you may ask now. Think about it.

Removing the DRM i can flat out guarantee was not that simple. Just because they did it, does not mean they didnt have to make major architectural changes that delayed other things. Get over it
Poster said all UI has been doctored. I said it was not true. That's all.
They worked out the "legal departments and contracts" to produce the fake video we are all seeing, however.
Spare me.
So not wanting to believe rumors with no real proof is giving junior members a bad rap?
This idiom might help you.
I played Forza 5 back at Eurogamer Expo. While I was stood waiting for the race to load, I thought hey I could hit the guide button now, so I did. I flicked around a few options there for a few moments and then hit the guide button again but the game never came back completely.
The screen was dimmed, a bit like the screen saver mode of the Xbox 360. None of the buttons did anything. I had to call the guy over and he nervously apologised whilst he reset the console. The guy said it was the E3 build of the game and I told him that it was totally cool and can't be judged at this point in development; its all not finished yet.
Hopefully this kind of thing will be fixed by release?
