Need to know the pics used in 2 and 4...Please! They look so good.

Just realized, why isn't the background semi-transparent when you press the PS button while in a game?

i think this is unnecessary. there is no in-game vs. out of game UI. they are one and the same.

Yeah I would love that feature. I was playing around this afternoon with custom backgrounds on the current UI. I reconstructed the UI in photoshop and started changing the backgrounds. It's amazing how much it transforms it. And seeing as we seem to be posting mockups. Here are a few examples.
Nice. Still cluttered though.
It'd be cool if the further game icons were slightly faded, and if they could move the whole info banner about the Season Pass to below the "Related Items" tab somehow. Replace the "Start" banner with "WATCH_DOGS" and then remove the giant "WATCH_DOGS" title to improve space.
That leaves more space for your theme background.
Or, do everything from above and just move the Season Pass info higher up to align with the "Related Items"on the bottom, giving you more space on the bottom.
The way the info banner is misaligned annoys me.
You could also probably get more out of the theme if the icons were on the very bottom, alternatively (so just the current setup, but flipped).

Ah yes, while I agree, I really liked how on the PS3, you could see what's going on in-game while on the XMB.

Picture in picture or a snap-like interface on the XO would be really nice. No reason to have the whole UI pull up. Give us a 360-like pop up for the important things, and instant-push shortcuts for friends/messages.
There's so much you'd think is common sense, and at first you can say that new UI has focuses on more important matters, but all of this is taking too long

But there is 3.5gb(?) dedicated to the OS

There's a set amount reserved that will never be given to games so it doesn't matter. Adding some folders and sorting features is not going impact resources in the slightest.

We already have the XMB, we can deduce what would happen using that design.

And that amount can decrease. It's called a safety net. Do you honestly think it takes 3.5 GB to run that OS? Wouldn't you rather they scale it back to 1gb so that (eventually) 7gb can be dedicated to games?
I'm aware that the OS will take up resources, but it's also not impossible that they'd free up some of those resources for games. They did it for the psp and there's definitely room to do the same on ps4.

Yes but specifically regarding the features I mentioned the amount of RAM that would be used for such a thing is negligible unless Sony has the most terrible programmers who don't know how to optimize anything.
sony guy on reddit says its fake

Seriously, they do need to dedicate a segment at Gamescom to the UI.
I'm getting the impression that everyone is working on PlayStation Now and not what actually matters.

I remember the rage over this for the PS3. It's really just the silliest thing, those custom backgrounds. Especially when I just stick with the default that changes color throughout the day, month, and year. Or my Flower or LittleBigPlanet dynamic themes.

Settings changes
Wallpaper feature for the background of XMB was added.
Should be coming up by years end if precedence means anything.

And did you miss the part where I said "I don't mind new features"? I really don't, but I can't say I'm crying out for them. Jesus! I know some bloody folders won't take much, but take the freaking hint: I don't bloody care. Tbh, I'm fed up going around in circles here. People have different opinions dude.
No. 2 is from a website called facets.la Justin Maller is the artist that creates them (He has some beautiful pieces!). Great resource for desktop backgrounds btw.
No. 4 is from interfacelift.com I can't find the picture again but I can send it you if u want, unless you can find it on there somewhere.
EDIT: Infact I've just stumbled on it. Here: http://interfacelift.com/wallpaper/details/3611/desert_dark.html
Yeah I agree with your points, I literally like for like copied it so i could place a background underneath and make it look neat. I might try my own design soon though as it was a pretty fun hour or so.
Sony UI, along with their app support(where is my HBOGO and youtube ps4 app dammit!!!) has always been my biggest sticking point with them. I know some liked the ps3 UI but I hated it as well.
Sony needs to just outsource it or something because they are awful with it. The ps4 is particularly bad. The long horizontal scrolling. The lack of ways to organize and prioritize. The horrible set up of the psn store. It's just one after another.

Reddit guy is not approved by Reddit, he/she was approved by PS4 subreddit mods. So that account could be for anyone, since so it's so easy to fake info and convince small subreddit mods.
Can upload interfacelift pic and give me the link? I'll try using google image search.
And damn! facets.la have some really amazing wallpapers. Thanks man!

Its getting ridiculous. Please. Just give me themes. I just want to change this hideous blue color, itll make all the difference for me. Gahhh!

Which do you think is more likely? This heavily flawed photoshopped UI is real or that Reddit guy is?
I still think this would be nice.
Yes, something like this is desired for me, moreso than folders.

i don't understand what the issue is with the full screen UI pulling up, why have two versions of the UI? though i do agree on the instant-push shortcuts, especially when trophies pop

I added a link to the desert pic in my post.

Who would fake a User Interface update? How pathetic. Just... why?
Goodacre0081

this wouldn't be an issue if Sony had a preview program or were more open about future updates and plans. I just don't get why everything has to be a secret
no idea. although it does give us something to refer to if Sony asks for UI suggestions.

Who would take the time to buy and design a website to fake an announcement of a game. The internet man.
TimeEffect

The source is from an unknown website who got it from one of their "user members".
It seems like a way to get a lot of hits. I think the site should be banned, as the same site is posting its own content on places like N4G, where low level sites stir up shit to get their rep.

Oh I didnt know you made it
Hope I didnt sound like a jerk, I wasn't criticizing you, just the way Sony has their XMB set up... I feel like they can make good bank on user created themes/premium themes, and the PS3 versions had a lot of nice space.I'd like to see how it would look like if the tiles were moved around like I said. I would do it, but I have no skill.

I like this better. I'm not a fan of one huge line of icons with all app/games/whatnot thrown into it.
I still think this would be nice.
Because the OS are being developed by Polyphony Digital and Team Ico. It's then passed onto Valve for Certification.

Lol. IWorkForSony. It must be fake then.

Verified by that subreddit creators, and since anyone can create subreddit in reddit the mods of /r/PS4 are probably are just normal gamers/people, he/she could easily fool them into believing he/she actually works for Sony.
That's not normal flare, it was given to him/her by the mods.

I think anyone can pick their "Flare", as they call it there. A lot of users have their PSN IDs with logos next to it.
Who knows.

When you place your mouse over it, it says [Verified] though.

That comment was made 10 hours ago (as of the time of this post). The exact same time as the video being posted:
God if this is fake someone is putting way more effort into this than someone normally would, and Gamescom is technically tomorrow.
I just want to believe that asking for folders and pressing the PS button to access more info in-game is a reasonable enough wish.
EDIT: An interesting thing I noticed is that even after the Sony rep said the leak was fake on reddit, the video uploader released the Rayman trophy thing 2 hours after the BF4 Invite video, or 8 hours ago as of this post.
How wold you even fake a video like this?

The Sony employee might be calling it fake to retain some element of surprise for the official reveal. Believe.

I want to belive that aswell! Were gonna have to wait though! Lol
But gonna hold my expectations. For me it is fake until they prove otherwise.
