PS4 UI Gamescom

Already uploaded already wow. If you missed the Sony panel, here's what the UI looks like. Just thought I'd share it with you guys; unfortunately, I lost track of time and missed the Sony panel.

From what I could see it looks good, but man I wish the camera was closer. Maybe Sony will upload a proper version of the UI on their Youtube channel shortly after Gamescom.

I didn't see this. I missed the first half an hour or so. It was pretty frustrating when the camera would pan out during trailers and gameplay footage, especially during games I was really interested in, like Shadow of the Beast. It does look fairly similar to the PS3 interface, which isn't a bad thing. Don't fix what ain't broke, I guess.

Here is a better closer look at the UI:

It looks incredible. Did you see how fast he got into his friends game? That's impressive. I do think that the way you can text will take a bit of getting used to for me. But overall I think it looks fantastic!

Yeah, I wonder why they decided it was such a good idea to show the audience half of the panel; we want to look at the screen as well! Anyways, your version is a lot better, UI looks very responsive and quick!

The UI does look pretty nice and hopefully more friendly than the Playstation 3. I like how instantaneous everything is but the text system appears to be auto correct centric I hope you can disable that. I looking forward to more stuff.

I saw the event live, and this was certainly an odd way to start it!

Loving the interface though, I'm really not a fan of the current PS3 XMB UI and this seems like a nice departure from the old while still keeping the familiarity. Gotta love Sony's design this time.

However, I still hope it's as fluid as they make it look, because PS3s is so slow it's pathetic.

This, specially for game trailers, where i wanted to see what was happening and they decided to pull a crowd shot. I came there to watch the conference, not the crowd!
That aside, i think it's looking good, even if the speeds are mostly staged.

I appreciated the in-depth look at the new UI and the way you can just jump straight to a multiplayer session your friend is in right from the hub. That's a very slick design maneuver. Also, small point, but I really like the choice of chimes and tones for the sound cues. The auto-correct options with messaging is really no different from now, only they put it towards the top and let you jump to it via the stick.

The skeptic in me highly doubts he was actually playing at all, and this was all staged, and was likely just watching the show with the best seat (literally) in the house.

This does look in depth and as ONI said, does have a cool slick design manoeuvre.
