PlayStation 4's Interface and Features Revealed

Sony has finally unveiled the PlayStation 4’s primary user interface and provided an in-depth overview of its features at its launch event in New York.

I don't like that the article doesn't show more images or have a video but I'd rather experience it my first time first hand.

[XB1_PS4]

Yeah, I'm buying it either way.. No matter what the ui looks like, although I'd really like to see the ui anyways. The embargo on ui information has been lifted so there has to be a video coming soon..

[RedHawk02]

I unfortunately have to wait but my cousin already has his PS4. Once the 15th comes, I'm going straight to his house and gonna game all day long with him.

@sckipt All in due time my friend.

[XB1_PS4]

@epic Are you going to post that video everywhere? Lol it didn't get me the first time, it's not gonna get me now.

[XB1_PS4]

When you put it after the comment people may mistake it as part of your point, which won't make sense. Leading to disagrees.

[Eonjay]

This is real:

"Speed is the most noticeable improvement with the PS4 OS. Whether you’re checking out a video, loading the browser, or opening up a party chat, the system loads each function almost instantaneously."

[Rimeskeem]

well then just buy the system to experience it : P

"PlayStation 4's Interface and Features Revealed"

Shows no new images of the UI or the features. IGN at its finest.

[IIZANGETSUII]

IGN so troll lol

[Eonjay]

No I think this may be real Kotaku and game informer just posted similar pics.

[RedHawk02]

LOL. I agree. I only recently started following news really closely and I chose IGN as one of the sites I'd follow but it quickly turned out to disappoint me.

[NarooN]

"Ya can't spell IGNorance without IGN."

Never gets old.

[crimsonfox]

so sleek so sexy yummy in my tummy.

As much as I cant wait to get my hands on a PS4 the Xbox 1 UI looks better "TO ME"

[LordMaim]

That's because at least the Xbone UI is in 1080p. Not so much the games though.

[PSN-JeRzYzFyNeSt]

nah no way i thought that to but think about it it looks the same as 360. the pins and tiles man. ps4 looks better to me i guess everyone is different,

i do like the feature of being able to Follow ppl , and seeing the top games being played on Xbox. thats it PS4 has everything else

[EPiCDiNGO]

Do you also like windows 8 over windows 7 ?

[Volkama]

Outside of desktop PCs? Yes.

Nice to see civil responses when someone states a preference for once though.

[cyhm3112]

i prefer less jaggies and higher fidelity in my games.

[NavydAd]

I think the way I'm going to do it is have my Xbox 1 in the main living room and the PS4 in my gaming room.

"Movies and media has now been moved entirely to the cloud,"

So you can't transfer movies, music, pictures etc. to PS4?

[Eonjay]

No, they are talking about purchasing movies and media from the store. They will be streamed instead of downloaded.

[tulholdren]

Like the UI simple and sweet

[Pascalini]

Ui is really poor- I think we can all see that

[GarrusVakarian]

As long as i can get to my games with zero hassle.....i couldn't care less.

[TristanPR77]

Speed and no ads, check.

Nice

[LoTuZ]

Epic awaits

[Lonnie18]

That is really awesome, can't wait!

[BABY-JEDI]

I hope the backgrounds are dynamic. As the PS3 start-up background will always remain epic to me.

[cell989]

no Ads and very slick cant really complain

[violents]

Honestly I would like to know if it would actually affect someone's decision to buy a ps4 if they UI had a weird look, not broken or anything like if it worked smooth as warm butter but looked really gay or something would it make you not want to buy it?
