@pedro The only way "PS became Xbox" is if Sony produced the technically INFERIOR console, had fewer first-party studios, was last place in sales...again, etc...Fact.
FOR THE LAST TIME, enjoy whatever console you want, but stop deluding yourselves.

Forn3542d ago

Heavy Rain theme for me, always loved that one.

XBLSkull3541d ago

Don't care about themes, how bout we get that media functionality?

@Forn
The one raining in the dark alley? :D that was my of my fav, that and the White Knight Chronicles dynamics, flower and the fullmetal alchemist brotherhood :P

SmielmaN3541d ago

I really miss themes as well and have wanted them since launch. I'll be quite happy when we start seeing some badass themes again. I'm super happy about this

hopefully we can transfer themes from ps3

P_Bomb3542d ago

Hopefully we can transfer paid avatars too. Have em show up in our ps4/SEN download history so we can change them without a ps3.

Miss photo albums too, saving my own custom wallpapers :/

Born2Game833542d ago

I would like that too, but I don't see how it's going to work. Given both machines work on totally different architecture and os.

P_Bomb3542d ago (Edited 3542d ago )

All the ps3's default Avatars are already on ps4, so there shouldn't be a tech issue. We know they work, just a matter of flipping the proverbial switch for the paid ones.

I imagine they'd have to be made available on the ps4 iteration of the store first. They don't have any paid avatars for sale yet. Perhaps it'd be similar to how they can tell I bought flower on ps3, thus making the ps4 upgrade available for free.

Custom backgrounds I imagine will happen eventually, especially since we can already save screenshots, and the ps3 did it with ease. Here's hoping

@ P_Bomb

There's a big difference between icons that are stored as .pngs being supported on the PS4 and a dynamic theme designed for the PS3 XMB working on the PS4. I wouldn't expect the PS3 dynamic themes to work on PS4. That's okay though, dynamic themes made for the PS4 will probably look better than the PS3 ones anyway.

Prime1573541d ago

@pbomb,

Through the PlayStation app on a cell phone you can put any picture on there... I haven't experimented with it too much, but if that avatar saved on your ps3, maybe you could put it on a flash drive? Then xfer to cpu then to phone, then upload?

Just a thought as I don't know.

P_Bomb3541d ago

@prime
Yeah, that phone app is great for uploading pics to your profile. Love it. Only drawback is only friends that accept 'real name requests' will see it, so the majority of my friend list won't. But I have two PS3s anyways, so I'll just keep changing them on there in the meantime as the paid/ps+ avatars do show up on my ps4 profile that way.

@opengl
Something tells me you might be right about old ps3 themes not being transferable to ps4. The xmb icons are different for one, as is the layout. Might conflict

MuhammadJA3541d ago

I don't want to sound like a troll or anything, but isn't Sony milking these features for future updates? Like themes, mp3 support, pausing downloads, etc...

The_KELRaTH3541d ago

No mention of a user theme creator so I guess it's all about getting a few more beans out of our pockets.

DeadRabbits3542d ago

I never once doubted Kaz & Co!

Ares84HU3542d ago

Never huh?

Funny enough this should have been a standard feature from day 1. The PS3 had this for years.

The way I see things is if you build something new (PS4), you don't take away good features that the previous version (PS3) had. You got something good that the people like, build on it.

I'm glad that we are getting this too but I would have been happier with a audio and video player much more. That is also something the PS3 has and the PS4 should have had from day 1.

Maybe I expect too much.....

porkChop3542d ago

It's about time. Both the Vita and the PS4 should have had themes at launch.

Sharius3542d ago

dynamic theme is f***ing awsome

Rob_Ko3542d ago

yes, I want Uncharted theme like I used to have on PS3

All Hopes I Had For A Prey Sequel Have Been Crushed — Well Done, Microsoft

The magnificent Prey was once again abandoned as Microsoft disregarded Arkane Austin's achievements and crucified it just for Redfall.

RaidenBlack1d ago

well, not entirely ... the main Arkane studio i.e Arkane Lyon's still there ...
Its only that, the sequel will take more time now ... after Blade & Dishonored 3

MrBaskerville4h ago

But who knows, Dishonored 3 could have been Austins next project, so might be cancelled.

-Foxtrot23h ago(Edited 23h ago)

Not even this Prey

Still longing for a sequel to the original Prey with Tommy

The studio didn't even want to call this Prey, it was just Bethesda being dicks to them for some reason.

RaidenBlack18h ago

MS closed Roundhouse Studios (ex-Human Head Studios) as well

Yui_Suzumiya7h ago

Yeah, that's who was going to do the original sequel.

isarai14h ago

Came here to say this, my hooes for a Prey sequel died when this "Prey" came out

Profchaos5h ago

Prey 2017 still hurts to play because what could have been looked so incredible

Profchaos5h ago

Same Bethesda basically screwed over the original developer team human head back around 2011 so it was really never going to come despite a honestly amazing trailer. I liked prey 2017 but it always held a stink of disappointment due to what we never got

FinalFantasyFanatic55m ago

I really didn't like this game, tried it because of how loved the original Prey was, played the demo of this one and thought it was garbage, it didn't feel nice/fun to play.

LostPotato22h ago(Edited 22h ago)

Keep dreaming then as Prey and Dishonored 2 did not sell well enough to get sequels.

Hence we got Deathloop and Redfall instead.

RaidenBlack18h ago

lol, Deathloop came from Prey: Mooncrash idea

Unknown_Gamer57946h ago

To everyone who cheered MS’s acquisitions, we told you so…

Inverno5h ago

Those people will just argue that Arkane Austin and Tango would've been shut down either way.

MrBaskerville4h ago

Zenimax allready put them in a tight spot by demanding them to do a multiplayer title. So it's not unlikely, considering how bad the game performed. They didn't stand a chance. MS had the money to save them and to correct Zenimax' mistakes.

Persona 5 Royal is my top 10 game of all time. A true masterpiece.

Barlos14h ago

Same here. Not only is it one of my favourite RPGs, it's also one of my favourite ever games. I keep coming back to it time and time again.

CrimsonWing6910h ago

4.8? This game is literally one of the best modern JRPGs. I’d give it the perfect score.

Top Spin 2K25 Review - TheGamer

TheGamer Writes "The tennis sim is as good as ever, but is lacking basic features that make this worthwhile at this stage."

The gameplay is fantastic. Not sure what can be more important then that?

HankHill15h ago

I like how one of the cons is that it's the only tennis game on the market. What does that have to do with the game?
