[Buckethead]

Much, much, much better than XMB.

SO PUMPED.

 

[Why would you do that?]

Reminds me a bit of Metro and the old PS Store.

 

[R3TRODYCE]

Looks rough but they have time.

 

[MikeE21286]

I hope that tiles interface (not pictured above) is not the front end interface.

Looks great so far.

 

[keit4]

Metro.

 

[CorySchmitz]

Looks very nice.

 

[Exentryk]

It's clean and functional. Don't mind it.

 

[GotEmRunnin]

Looks good to me. Could use a bit more polish but it has a very solid foundation.

 

[thequickandthedead]

gonna miss the XMB

 

[Dr. Zoidberg]

I like it. If it's slick and smooth (unlike the PS3 store) then I'm onboard. I've never been a huge XMB fan.

 

[zoukka]

It's the new PSN which was the 360 UI.

Don't really like like it, but I'll grow to it I'm sure. Especially if customization is offered.

 

[Rickenslacker]

I still prefer the aesthetic of the XMB but if they stick to the same ratio of functionality and general lack of ads, then I'm happy.

 

[Hatten]

Look just like the current UI but with win8's squariness

 

[Jucksalbe]

Not sure from those pictures how content is grouped or sorted, but for now I'm leaning towards "meh".

 

[Gummb]

I'll have to use it to really find out, but I'm not too keen on it.

 

[SquiddyCracker]

I like it a lot moer than the Vita bubble UI

 

[PaulExcellent]

It's better than the Xbox 360's interface, so I'm all about it.
I hope they redesign the Vita with this, too.

 

[xJavonta]

Thank GOD that got rid of the XMB. I don't know what idiot decided it was a good interface.

 

[SquiddyCracker]

Thank GOD that got rid of the XMB. I don't know what idiot decided it was a good interface.

Don't diss on a good UI.
The VITA stuff was a step for worse.

 

[Kazerei]

I hope that tiles interface (not pictured above) is not the front end interface.

Looks great so far.

Yeah I missed that during the livestream, but I got a screencap from a replay. It's in the OP now.

 

[Kung Fu Grip]

Finally everything will feel connected. So long XMB.

 

[DR3AM]

i like it, has the onlive feeling. video chat in game? thats cool

 

[Empty]

rip xmb you beautifully minimalist but inconvenient thing. i will always love you.

 

[Izick]

Looks like a cross between the new Playstation Store and the XBL Dash; so it looks great.

 

[ginger ninja]

that's that shit i don't like

 

[dallow_bg]

I feel these are mostly mock ups still.

 

[KissVibes]

His username is DayZ100...

DayZ must be coming to the PlayStation 4!

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Super impressed with everything to do with the OS and features and all that.

 

[Dead Prince]

smooth transition is the key for this new UI to work.

also impressed there's a secondary custom chip that runs in the background doing other stuff like background downloading/uploading and all that.

 

[Phonomezer]

Shameless Metro ripoff, lets call a spade a spade.

 

[hayguyz]

needs more ads

 

[Alienous]

It's very Microsoft. Very Windows 8.

Playstation has always been a little more ... circular, and rounded in my opinion. But then I suppose you get the Vita OS...

you know what, this is ok.

 

[sappyday]

Indifferent about it. Looks a lot like the old PSN store which is something I don't like.

 

[Spiffy_1st]

I look forward to seeing penises and trollfaces as peoples profile pictures.

This will get redesigned.

 

[Shahadan]

That was the only thing I liked in that conference. Clear and pretty.

 

[Jaruru]

Look just like the current UI but with win8's squariness

Exactly

 

[Zombie James]

After the Vita I was worried they'd stray too far from the simple minimalism of the XMB, but this is a nice compromise. Looks very clean.

 

[Salsa]

I honestly dont like it, but it's mostly the colors wich I guess will be customizable

 

[ElectricBlue187]

Metro.

glad i'm not the only one.

 

[Boss Man]

I don't like the real name thing very much at all. Nor the idea of using actual pictures instead of an avatar. I use Facebook for that shit, PSN will never be a place that I go to for serious socializing.

I am, however, incredibly hyped about the video sharing/streaming stuff and hopping into friends' games seamlessly. These kinds of system features were the highlight of the meeting for me. Shit felt next-gen for sure.

 

[Takuya]

Does that pretty much confirm custom avatars?

Nope never mind, just like the current user pics on PS3.

 

[JordanLMiller]

Thank GOD that got rid of the XMB. I don't know what idiot decided it was a good interface.

Probably one who doesn't enjoy metro knockoffs littered with facebook social junk.

 

[biggersmaller]

I like XMB. I don't need giant graphics filling my screen. Small icons are all I need on a big TV.

 

[Hypereides]

Looks smooth and more professional than the one we have now on PS3.

 

[perorist]

Much, much, much better than XMB.

Possibly, if it's buttery smooth, fast, and has an intuitive layout

The way it looks now reminds me of the PS3 PSN store, which I don't want anything to do with

 

[Face it Tiger..]

Reminds me of the new Myspace UI.

 

[Dead Prince]

kinda like the singstar UI?

 

[The Technomancer]

I feel like it doesn't do a great job making various parts of the submenus salient, but I haven't seen it in motion

 

[alr1ght]

I can't say I'm a fan of the "real name" integration. As long as it's optional, it's okay.

That said, I hate hate hate randomly sized grid boxes.
