I really like the interface. It looks simple and fresh.

Nitrowolf24072d ago

Seems like they made it like the new PS Store

JRH77834072d ago

Hope it's not as slow as the new PS store...

It better not be, with 8 gigs of ram they have NO excuses.

Saigon4072d ago

I have to admit, it does look good. It seems, if you notice from the screens, that the XMB is still involved with this system.

MikeMyers4072d ago

Looks clean and accessible. The main thing is it to be quick and easy to use.

RememberThe3574072d ago

I think thats why they updated the PS Store. They wanted us to get used to the new interface so that transition is virtually seamless.

GABRIEL10304072d ago

I like the old PSN store, I miss it.

kingmushroom4072d ago

yeah, they had some sort of testing going on when you got into the browser on PS3 and they wanted some feed back, i wonder if it has anything to do with the PS4 interface.

BISHOP-BRASIL4072d ago

I don't like it... Just as I don't like Windows 8 inteface (Metro?) or the new PS Store... This typographic approach, at least for me, seens too much guided, as the system implies where it wants you to go next instead of having all the options there... Or something like that, I'm not even that sure why I don't like it to be honest.

But with that said, it's not a deal breaker, as far as the games are there I don't really care what the interface looks like...

DeadlyFire4072d ago

Seems to me to resemble Steam in a way with a blend of its game page and store page for a game together.

Not bad. I am skeptical of the whole Facebook blending over my gamertag. Should be an option to pick which one is displayed.

ChickeyCantor4071d ago

"It better not be, with 8 gigs of ram they have NO excuses."

What is it with people throwing this around a lot? Ram alone does not make a computer.

The experience will be smooth, but ffs, Ram is in its basic properties just a storage solution.

@Army
I see alot of penises and breast in our immediate future.

IaMs124071d ago

Perfectly honest, i don't really like the new look, and the new look of the PSN store. Its not bad though so hopefully it will run well. I just don't really prefer the look that Windows 8 went with the metro and this kind of reminds me of that. Would be nice if they let you customize it a lot.

love how they make there own profile pictures, problem is.....the immature kids will abuse this!!! lol...

CryofSilence4072d ago

Agreed. Let's hope the moderators exact quick justice on them. ;)

HeavenlySnipes4072d ago

I think those are facebook profile pics. They did mention that they wanted to connect your PS friends with your real life ones using social networks

Razmossis4072d ago

Duno dudes. I really think the XMB is as great an interface as it's ever gona get, I really want my experience to be centered around that.

The xmb is like a nice tidy desktop, while this look like the front page on the daily mail or msn or something.

RememberThe3574072d ago

I think HeavenlySnipes got it right. Sony doesn't want to spend tons of time and money on making sure there aren't a bunch of D's on their network, better to leave that to someone else.

kingmushroom4072d ago

yeah the CoD Kids will put pics of vaginas and dicks

DarkBlood4072d ago

finally i can use a specfic cool picture i would like to use instead of those avatars

Mookie4072d ago

I just want a big booty bitch
On my profile pic hahaha

MEsoJD4072d ago

Just like on forums, there will most likely be a report function. So I don't see the big deal.

hesido4072d ago

I'm pretty much sure that the true profile photos will be displayed only for people in your social network, otherwise, you will be anonymous to outsiders and displayed with your avatar. The importance of anonymity is profound to such networks. I remember this being mentioned in the conference.

LocutusEstBorg4072d ago

Now instead of a cock & balls from sprites, you can have a photo of your own cock & balls!

moparful994072d ago

I hope it has alot of customisation options as well.. Maybe some different layout options, colors, what content is displayed etc

Tr10wn4072d ago

Ill keep my friend list clean and simple, if you are not a model you don't deserve to be in my friend list just like in the screenshots oh and you must be smiling no serious faces or sad, and i want them to be creative like the dude in the grass.

HammadTheBeast4072d ago

Long as there's no ads, I'm fine with it.

ajax174072d ago

Sony wouldn't do that. They're not Microsoft.

AngelicIceDiamond4072d ago

For a minute I thought I was looking at ads but it turns out to be a users profile with his Facebook and Twitter integrated in his profile.

With that being said didn't Sony say they were supporting some kind of interactive ad based system. https://www.google.com/url?...

Other than that I really like the new SOE on PS4.

jivah4072d ago

There will most likely be internal ads, soooo something along the lines of advertising games as well as little contests and stuff. Dont expect a coca cola ad or toyota ads. It would be awesome if there was some type of clan integration separated from the friends list.

YourSavior4071d ago

Ads wouldn't really bother me, as long as there is no audio with them.

I_am_Batman4072d ago (Edited 4072d ago )

I don't like designs like this where there are more pictures that informations to be honest. I liked the old PSStore more than the new as well. I really like the raw XMB Interface I wish they would build it in the PS4 again though most people will like this new Interface more I guess.

But to be fair I have to try it out before saying if I like it or not.

Edit: Anybody noticed that on the 2nd screen the user name of that guy is DayZ100. Maybe a hint that DayZ might come to PS4. The other thigs like Legend Hunters, Dark Castle and The Race look like someone made them up to fill the space with something.

showtimefolks4072d ago

just make it faster and smoother, this new PSN interface on ps3 is slow. I liked the older psn style even though it wasn't as stylish but it was easier to use.

I hope this time sony gets some feedback from playstation community

Blasphemy4072d ago

Looks alot like current PSN.

Pillsbury14072d ago (Edited 4072d ago )

Anyone else find it interesting that the guys username is DAYZ100?! Please for the love of god bring DAYz to ps4!!!

ExCest4071d ago

Dean "Rocket" Hall did say he wanted to bring DayZ to next-gen consoles. It's entirely possible with the tech in the PS4 right now.

Now it'd be impossible to have the current DayZ over on next-gen because that's soooo unoptimized and laggy. Standalone will probably fix that and make a console version viable.

Psn8004072d ago

I love it very professional .

FamilyGuy4072d ago

It looks ok, like a social network site though.
I really like the current xmb, knowing where to go to find the thing I want to do is veeery simple on the current xmb as well as the old ps store.

The new store isn't as cleanly organized to me. This new new UI isn't bad, just gonna have to see more to appreciate the change/know whether it's better.

Also, no more dynamic themes! :(

imdaboss14072d ago

They still working on it ..But as of right now the user interface looks nice..

CYCLEGAMER4071d ago (Edited 4071d ago )

Looks a bit "microsofty" to me!

scott1824071d ago

Microsoft looks a bit appley to me...

Omni-Tool4071d ago

I agree, if it works and it is snappy in response. I find myself becoming mildly annoyed whenever I purchase or look at anything on the current PS store because of response time. It's kind of like nails on a chalk board to me. I can bare with it but I can definitely do without it.

StraightPath4071d ago

this does look alot like metro UI from microsoft used in windows 8 and xbox 360 etc still looks great though huge improvement from ancient xmb.

How to recruit Lam in Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes

Lam is among the 120 characters available for recruitment in Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes. While she is one of the many straightforward recruits, a known bug may prevent players from recruiting her if certain conditions are met. Despite developers’ assurances of fixing the bug, some early access players still encounter issues with recruiting Lam despite attempting the standard method.

Tomb Raider Remastered just quietly censored one in-game detail

Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered players are ticked off by the game’s most recent patch, which censors in-game pin-up posters of Lara Croft.

rlow111h ago

This is why gaming is screwed. When people change things to fit someone’s agenda, it’s a slippery slope downhill.

Christopher10h ago(Edited 10h ago)

Even if that agenda is of the developer? Way to remove developer rights.

***One player called it a “huge problem with modern games,” saying they can now be “ruined AFTER people buy them”.***

The level of drama. Yes, I recall sitting there for more hours than I did anything else in the game. These two pinups are the core of the game, after all!

coolbeans9h ago(Edited 9h ago)

rlow1's cringe catastrophizing aside, I do think developers *ought* to strive to maintain an original work to the best of their ability. The language of a "remaster" tacitly implies that - for good or ill - what's being resold is what fans remember but better.

Profchaos9h ago

Games can be ruined after purchasing them yeah we know this not from this but from GTA IV which had half it's radio content patched out due to licensing expirations and to me that was a huge deal.

This pin up poster is a bit of nonsense but the whole argument of modern games can be ruined post launch is Absol true.

DedicatedDark8h ago(Edited 8h ago)

It's not their work to censor. They are incharge of restoration & remastering the work, not overwriting it.

Barlos6h ago

It's not the agenda of the developer though, they're pandering and trying to increase their ESG score.

Way to support censorship...

victorMaje6h ago

It’s not the end of the world for sure, but I understand the hate towards this kind of change. I believe it’s also a matter of principle.

Imagine a Picasso painting being restored & the restorer deciding there aren’t enough strokes, or some lines aren’t straight enough or curved enough…not sure it would/should sit well with people.

Have all original devs signed off on this change? Even if it’s the case, are we saying older gamers are better mentally equipped to process what was there than current gamers, hence the change?

Enough time ago the case was made that games are an art form. We’re supposed to have won that case.
So which is it? Are games art or not?

Eidolon7h ago

Hasn't this been happened for over a decade since remasters? I can't see that it's any worse now. Maybe if Sweet Baby starts getting their hands on remasters we will definitely have a problem.

Rebel_Scum9h ago

tbh I dont see something like this as censorship. Does anyone else not find it strange for someone to stick pin ups of themsleves in a locker room?

Now of it was a pin up of some half naked firefighters it might make sense as Lara might like that, and if they removed that I would cry censorship. But removing pin ups of the main character, yeah I get it.

Barlos6h ago(Edited 6h ago)

It's a game, and they were placed there for the audience. It's not real life. If it was, she wouldn't have fought a T-Rex now would she?

Yes, it's censorship but it's a bit less in your face. If they were in the original game, then they should have been in the remasters. It's bad enough that they have that ridiculous unnecessary warning at the start, but then they start removing things post launch. I don't care how small the change, they shouldn't be doing it. It's nothing but ESG pandering but in a subtle way.

Rebel_Scum5h ago

Look bro, if you have pictures of yourself naked on a bear skin rug up in your house let me tell you, its not normal.

jambola4h ago

I wasn't aware censorship was based on what made sense to you

Rebel_Scum4h ago

Likewise, what a stupid comment.

jambola4h ago

I agree
Your comment was pretty stupid

Rebel_Scum3h ago

I never said censorship is based on what I say dumbass. Just because I dont see this as censorship doesnt mean I’m saying others cant.

How about you come at me with your opinion rather than snarky comments with no thought on the matter.

SimpleDad6h ago

By the year 2030, this remaster collection will totally be changed and censored. Probably will remove Lara as a playable character. It's ridiculous. Glad that my family didn't buy this.
I still have Tomb Raider 2 PS1 as a memory.

jambola4h ago

Those shorts are a little revealing
Should probably make them snow pants

Barlos4h ago

They'll probably make her trans

CobraKai6h ago

It’s mentioned in the article, and it’s a point i 100% agree with, it’s the fact that they can censor a game after you buy it. That’s total bullshit.

Killer2020UK5h ago

Whilst it's an overreaction to say this has "ruined" the game, it's still problematic that this has happened post launch and for many, post-purchase.

I don't want someone to change a product for the worse after I've bought it. The same goes for implementing micro transactions after reviews.

I wonder why they did this? Nobody was kicking up a fuss as far as I'm aware.

Final Fantasy III Pixel Remaster Review – You Are Your Job, Apparently

Gary Green said: In a time where an enhanced, 3D remake of Final Fantasy III already exists, it’s hard to argue that Final Fantasy III Pixel Remaster is the definitive version we were expecting. With Final Fantasy III already being the last in the series to be translated and make its way west, this is something of a slap in the face for the fans. Still, let’s not be disheartened. There may be many shortfalls in this edition of Final Fantasy III, however there’s no denying that this classic JRPG still holds some nostalgic value, even if it struggles to break away from its original hardware limitations.

It’s funny I’m seeing these articles about pixel remaster, and I just platinumed 1-4 within 8 days lol. I’ve been on FF5 for about a week now. Let’s just say 5 was the start of FF having content like crazy. I should have the plat within 2-3 days.

MrBaskerville2h ago

The game being an accurate represantation of the original was not a slap in the face to the fans. The 3D remasters looked like ass (visually) tbh.
