Looks more static than dynamic. Not bad looking overall, just not dynamic in my opinion.

smoothop3739d ago

More static like you say, tell you what though I do like the dynamic themes, it'd be nice if Xbox had them, they look really nice some of them.

ChronoJoe3739d ago

The only problem I have with it is the huge Bungie and Destiny logos. I like the artwork but I don't really want my background branded by a developer.

christian hour3739d ago

Could be worse, it could say "Activision" :)

Mega243739d ago (Edited 3739d ago )

I don't know, but I haven't seen a better theme then the old TLOU dynamic theme for PS3, was the best IMO. Wish it could be brought back for PS4.

GutZ313739d ago

To be fair, we are less than half a year into themes on PS4, and TLOU theme was years after the first theme on PS3.

Pretty sure we will see much better given enough time.

Mega243739d ago

So by your logic, everything learned on the designing of themes for PS3 (8 years) has been forgotten? That doesn't make much sense.

christian hour3739d ago (Edited 3739d ago )

My personal fave from ps3 was the wipeout one, not sure if there was others but the one I had was like the vehicles being built and means tested etc like a crash testing facility.

Also that safari one (for Afrika I think?) that was free for Japanese users was pretty cool (had to make a fake jap profile to get it, and figure out how to navigate the foreign store :P)

ALSO!

I miss making your own static themes like you could on ps3. I spent hours in photoshop making my own custom icons, my favourite was a Calvin and Hobbes one I made.

With personal music via USB being supported now on ps4 I can't see why we can't make our own static themes and upload them with USB.

I want to secretly change my flatmates ps4 background to a police sketch of him saying "Do not trust this man".

Thats all I ask.

i want a bloodborne theme ! :<

He paid billions for Starfield. This should be the real story.

Microsoft bought all of Zenimax Media for 7 billion, while Sony paid 4 billion for Bungie. I think Microsoft got the better deal due to acquiring Fallout, ElderScrolls and Doom.

anast252d ago

This can't be true. They only bought Starfield...

InUrFoxHole252d ago

@anast
Should've thought that one out buddy, lol.

anast252d ago (Edited 252d ago )

Yeah, I thought it out. I'm not sure you did. But since we are buddy's now, you're welcome.

So you're saying that Microsoft has missed out on so many huge gaming franchise in the last 25 years from GTA exclusivity to guitar hero and destiny it's just laughable they had so many misses

Reaper22_252d ago

Yea, but they're still 100 times more wealthy than Sony. I would say it worked out well.

Gamingsince1981252d ago

Xbox is dead all that money doesn't help.

Hypertension140252d ago

What has work out well? It sure as hell had nothing to do with Xbox.

andy85252d ago

That isn't because of Xbox though. This is a gaming page, not an I get supplemented by father Windows page

Bathyj252d ago

Microsoft's money has nothing to do with Xbox.
Xbox is a money pit to them they would love to ditch but are after some ROI first.

Let's face it, Xbox is like a red headed stepchild that steals from you to buy drugs.

Hofstaderman252d ago (Edited 252d ago )

MIicrosoft is NOT XBOX. The current situation illustrates this. And Microsoft wants its ROI.

@Bathyj and daddy Satya has just force admitted Phil to rehab.

gold_drake251d ago

you know why MS has so much money, and it aint cause of the gaming xbox branch.

so lets not kid ourselves.

PhillyDonJawn251d ago

Xbox was shown to be more profitable than ps

jznrpg251d ago

@PhillyDownJawn not more profitable. More revenue with ABK acquisition but them going multiplat shows they are not making much profit

ocelot07251d ago

That's great for Xbox gamers ain't it that Microsoft are more wealthy than Sony. Is that really a argument use are using now lol?

Imagine me in my job. Arguing with a fellow security guard at another company. Hahah well the company I work for is worth £800m the one you work for is only work £600m!

Microsoft may have more money but Sony has the talented studios and the games to back up those studios.

Plus turning down Marvel too. Spiderman is only exclusive to Playstation because of that

Hedstrom251d ago

Best deal deal in gaming must be when Sony bought Insomniac for 229 million dollars. They made over 800 millions on Spiderman for the ps4 alone. Thats just crazy!

XBManiac251d ago

More in the 1.000 million now.

gold_drake251d ago

another Interview?

how is he the only one who loves the spotlight as much as he does lol

Futureshark251d ago

Let's not forget he also famously passed on Spider-man, Genshin Impact and GTA3.

However it's almost kind of cute how he can keep that sh1t-eating grin and say he's a 'no regrets' kind of guy, especially when you think how much just these 5 titles could have swung the world in Xbox's favour instead of Sonys.

How he's kept his job I don't know, he must sure be keeping Papa Nadella's shaft warm somehow.

"But, but Gamepass, he introduced that!!!"

Yes he did, and now look at Xbox, all it's exclusives are coming to Playstation now rendering the platform obsolete.

DarXyde251d ago

Honestly, with that kind of track record, you can't convince me Spencer hasn't eaten it from the back in the name of self preservation. Probably unwashed...and at least twice.

That aside, my interpretation of everything here is Xbox has been mismanaged a bit too much and Nadella came down from his throne. The way it is now, I don't believe for a minute the multiplatform move was Spencer's idea. I don't even think the acquisitions was Spencer's work. At this point, I reckon he's got as much power in his role as Hunter Biden at a Ukrainian energy company.

DivineHand125251d ago

You can never tell how things will turn out if he had said yes to those games. Xbox already has access to some great IPs, however, they hardly do anything with them or fail to deliver. It's also possible their presentation wasn't good at the time, and they made sure the next presentation was better.

I believe that part of being successful is releasing things in the right place at the right time.

Many major corporations have a story similar to passing on successful business ideas. Let us look at Sony Pictures for example. Back when Marvel went bankrupt, they had the opportunity to buy the entire Marvel for only $25 Million but turned them down. An unnamed big shot at Sony reportedly claimed that “nobody gives a shit about any of the other Marvel characters,”. They ended up taking Spiderman for $10 Million instead.

https://www.avclub.com/sony...

Fast forward to today, we can see what the Marvel brand has done for Disney. Is it possible the same success would have been possible had Sony acquired those IPs. We can't say that for sure and it is possible most of those IPs that are successful today may not have been used.
