PS4 UI demo at Hong Kong event
- Thread starter Canis lupus
- Start date
Ah...
This sounds so like some pre-Vita commentary. I'm not saying there'll be no limit to what you can or can't multitask, but the idea that 'if they don't show it, it means it doesn't work'...that doesn't persuade me. If that had been the case, Vita's OS wouldn't have worked either, as they closely guarded any real demonstration of it until it was in people's hands.NoirVisage

Can someone list features XboxOne UI has over PS4 UI besides TV guide features and voice commands?
As long as it's fast and responsive, that's all I care about.
I'm guessing it could be much more likely that Sony will be able to free up more RAM for games/ game devs than it will for XBone with its THREE OSs and all-in-one features.
PS4 probably dedicates a smaller amount of GPU resources than Xbone as well.

I'm interested in seeing what kind of voice commands are available for this and how well they work.
cohesive really? theyve tossed some tiles on a page and called it a day.

Agreed. I don't want a cluttered UI.
And I'm not even talking about Mountain Dew and Dorito's ads.
i can tell you that one of the biggest law of the minimalist design is to work with flat colours....clearly we are talking about differents things....
ppl on here are confused between ergonomy (and i dont find submenu ergonomics at all) and design...
definitely the xb1 ui (or the metro one) is more ergonomic and minimalist

really, how come they don't advertise this like MS?

Ah...
I guess.
Given the huge buzz, I'm just surprised to have not even have seen or heard any leaks about it. I guess agent Harrison "working" for Microsoft this time around might have something to do with it ¬_¬

Same reason they don't advertise the Camera.
If your product is inferior, and you bring it to the spotlight, the media/press will naturally make comparisons with competitors. Especially in a critical period where they want the focus to be strictly 'games, games, games' and 'best console.'
It's the same logic that they apparently did not announce their VR headset. Muddying the message does no one any favours.

Every Windows Media Center since XP has looked similar, and the same shade of blue (not sure about W8, don't use it).
But wait TheKayle said people hate blue!! I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO BELIEVE ANYMORE

Because voice command is a quality of life feature. It doesn't sell consoles.
You might end up being right, I don't know! But I'm optimistic after Vita's OS.
We'll find out for sure in a few days. Or earlier if Sony would just publish the manual online!

Another thing about these kind of 'press stage demos' is that they're extremely scripted.
People demo-ing these features are basically doing it once a week around the world across different game events with different languages, they have scripts, translators, the flow of the feature sets all written down to the dot.
Last thing you'd want is for the Chinese translator to fuck up just because the Japanese demo dude decided to wing it and do something outside the original demo plan.

At the expense of having less info on the screen, or very badly managed space within the "metro" squares.
I reallllllllllllly don't like Metro.

Yikes, with the side by side WMP still looks better. I'm just really not digging it.
Actually, when your product is inferior and yet you still keep making comparisons with competitors, it seems that the gaming media's reaction is to brush it under the rug and label it as "not important".

Actually it is. Wasnt this posted by the guy who received the xbox one early?

Damn he's desperate to have people see it his way.
Never gonna give you up,
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry,
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
We've known each other for so long
Your heart's been aching but you're too shy to say it
Inside we both know what's been going on
We know the game and we're gonna play it
And if you ask me how I'm feeling
Don't tell me you're too blind to see

The repeating monochrome patterns are just so bad. There's no saliency, and since you have 7+ items on screen at any time, saliency becomes a huge factor.
He won't stop until everyone hates blue like he does.
Lol, Jesus.
Lines will drawn, apparently. Can't fight on the hardware power level, take it to the UI level, where a small, vocal minority can feel like they're accomplishing something.
Looks pretty clean and simple to me. I'm a huge fan of the XMB, so I like this evolution of the bar itself. Not a fan at the length of time it took Knack to load up its display info though. Hopefully that isn't/won't be an issue, but it's possible.
Looks real similar to me. *eyeroll*

Why is everything together in the same screen?
Is it like a "recently opened" screen? Or is everything really thrown together now?
Like when you have this on PS3 today:
It will become this on PS4?

No. There are separate sections still for different types of content.

The Xbox dash is very cohesive
The first thing selected is your most recent activity.
Your profile is one press to the left.
Right and down brings you to your collection
The 4 bottom tiles can be customized so all you have to do is press down once and your 4 most played games are right there.
1 press of the left bumper brings you to 20 tiles you can customize to have all your games and/or apps.
1 press of the right bumper brings you to the store
Everything is a few button presses away. With Kinect its even easier to navigate because all you have to do is say Xbox, Play *Name of game* and you're off to the races. So the UI is very cohesive.
If you don't like all the red .. make sure you tell us that
im freaking hating all that red but as i read he picked it...i would have an headache after 10 mins

This is how I want my home screen to look.
Never has an OS been able to "predict" what program I'll use. A "recently used" section is totally useless to me.
Just show me what I have installed, neatly organised in categories.
I do like the black background on the xb1, makes the content pop a bit more. But obviously Sony's theme is now blue.
That said, I believe the list of major icons on the ps4 menu are sorted by when you last used them, which hopefully will mean after a few days you'll have your most used programs and games on screen when you boot - which is always nice
Hopefully it gets ported to Vita. Although that's just because I feel it's aesthetically dramatically better than the bubbles, usability is fine on Vita as it stands.
I would like to see how the store functions and the 'what's new' area too. Content discovery has never been Sony's strong point.
