These look great! The Azure Earth Black theme catches my eye.

...now if only Sony would let me make my own.

mushroomwig3506d ago

Seriously, all this does is make me wish we could just make our own.

DarXyde3506d ago

The thing is, I'm terrible at making themes. I would undoubtedly consult the more creative forces of the internet to do my bidding.

I'd like to be offered, though.

I want that Blue Earth, reminds me of the awesome PS3 music player visualizer, i miss those

Lastlivingsoul3506d ago

I would %100 buy the "Blue Earth," and "Cartography" themes. Maybe the "lightstream," on as well. I've been pretty curious as to how you get "hired" by sony to make these themes. I'm glad somebody is finally making some decent ones though.

Will these be available in the eu store? Cant find any of truant pixels themes...

Skate-AK3506d ago (Edited 3506d ago )

They are not on the EU store yet but they said they are working hard getting them approved.

The link is revelant to your question. http://imgur.com/tl8s18o

They by far makes the best dynamic themes and I have no problems with giving him $3-$4 for his hard work. I bought the Cherry Blossom one last week and was very impressed with the variety of the day and night cycle.

Definitely getting that Azure Earth one and will get Tiny Tropics if the time transitions are all in one theme.

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."
