Awesome PS4 Theme Puts Color-Changing Dynamic Clock on your Dashboard: Screenshots and Video Inside

Truant Pixel has done it again: after the awesome Hanami dynamic theme, the prolific creator proved once more that not all PS4 themes on the PlayStation Store are trash, and that putting actual effort into one's creation and using the tools provided by Sony can yield really cool results.

Now this is a pretty damn cool theme, also this is 99 cents and it looks way cooler than others that even cost 2.99.

Abriael3521d ago

Indeed. If Truant Pixel keeps releasing themes like this, I'll keep grabbing them all. He's basically the only one that is making a real effort in using the tools Sony provides.

I don't buy themes and usually think that they're a huge waste of money. This though is a great one that I'd actually not mind grabbing. IMO all dynamic themes should be under $2. Heck, sell them for $1 and I bet you'd see sales skyrocket. The price they want for some of these, including the static ones that are just a wallpaper, are why I think that they're a waste of moolah

I think I remember from the NeoGAF theme thread on GAF that normal dynamic theme creators who don't promote a game or movie can only sell them at a certain price point that Sony decides. Not sure why this is 99 cents then, but I think that most of the time the creators have not as much to do with the price. But well, the quality of most of them wouldn't be worth anything at all, so it's good to see one like this.

Edit: Form the GAF theme thread:

"How much do they cost?

$1.99 each

(This is the lowest average approved price for dynamic themes on PSN that aren't associated with a game. )"

And the other thread about this theme:

"Crystal Clock has been approved, price point is a staggering $0.99 . I'm going to try to get more of my more basic themes released at the price point."

Doesn't seem like he is much in control of the prices, seems to have to do with complexity or whatever. Weird.

Aloy-Boyfriend3521d ago

Yyeeah this is the kind of quality I seek when I want a new theme, not all the AoT, anime, skull, space, and other trash that are just stock photos...

80’s Anime-Inspired Runner Revealed for PC VR & PlayStation VR 2

No release date just yet.

SullysCigar1530d ago

PSVR2 is really racking up the catalogue now - the future is bright!

ApocalypseShadow1530d ago

Yeah. It's crazy and it's not even officially announced. Just controllers. I still get this feeling that games like GTA 5 are going to be in VR in some capacity. My gut seems to keep saying that there will be a Spider-Man VR game launching besides GT 7 in its first year. But even Indie games like this and Low-Fi still impress me even if they're not fully optimized yet for PS5. I like its retro vibe this one is giving.

PSVR 2 is going to come out swinging hard. Gamers who thought VR was a gimmick or Sony was abandoning VR are choking on their own spit.

My man!

Spriggan would be amazing. So excited for the new anime. Could not believe it when I saw that.

These guys are fans of Akira with that bike. Nice touch cluing us in with Otomo on the bike.

ApocalypseShadow1529d ago

Yeah. I'd kill for an Akira type game. This will have to do.

But then, I'd also kill for a Spriggan type game.

Here Is What a PS4 Theme Running at Native 4K Resolution Would Look Like

While the PS4 doesn't render themes natively in 4K, Truant Pixel decided to see what one of theirs would look like in 3840x2160 pixels with no upscaling.

I saw video just to hear the beginning.... i miss that sound......

Rude-ro2493d ago

They do have native 4k themes though 🤔

Abriael2493d ago

They don't. They're upscaled from 1080p.

Rude-ro2493d ago

Cool. I like how the 4k listed themes are larger in file size than normal themes.
Must be offering both the 1080p version and the 1080p upscaled versions then. They look fantastic either way.
So how did you test all the 4k listed themes?

Abriael2493d ago (Edited 2493d ago )

@Rude-ro: I don't need to. I know I can trust Truant Pixel, since they're by far the best theme developers on the market, and they put a lot of effort in their themes. I'm pretty sure they know how themes work.

From the description of the video: "The console theme software does not run the dashboard at 4K, rather it upscales content that is rendered internally at 1080p (hence why themes that claim to be "true 4K" are not, and why we only mark our themes as "4K friendly" or "ready". They will upscale cleanly, but are not native)."

On the other hand, I certainly don't trust those that pollute the PlayStation store with low-effort trash and then claim it's "true 4K."
