In Game XMB Sooner Than We Think?

From tripletags.com- "Got an email tonight from someone who has sent in dozens of tips in the last couple of months. I usually blow them off as meh since some of them seem so far fetched like the XBox 360 with HD-DVD (lol, dead in the womb). Anyway, the source sent me the above picture with information that puts the above interface in our hands before January is over.

What do you think? Believable or should we stick to serving PS3 Gamercards than following crazy rumors? ;)"

[Says you]

....

and it was able to do that since early last year like right around the time of the first map pack release.. this is fake. and quite a few games already do that like timeshift, High velocity bowling, just to name a few off my head.

look at the pic and see for yourself. while i believe that it will come this year, i dont think it'll be here by January's end. with that said this is just a bad rumor that got out and nothing more move along.

[Staircase]

Really? Hmmm, were you able to listen to music while playing too? I may have to pop Resistance back in and check that out. Never noticed it before.

Thanks for posting that before I got excited. ;)

[Mu5afir]

That is not the same thing running on those games.

[Ju]

If you read the comments in the thread, you'll find a link to a picture with CoD4. And that definitively did (does) not support this yet.

n/m...wrong reply...

[ericnellie]

I'm glad I read your post because I didn't get too excited about this rumor. The bad thing is, 6 people disagreed with you and you ended up being RIGHT. It was a fake!! I hate people that take everything they hear as truth...things on the internet need taken with a grain of salt. The people that disagreed with you are idiots =) Bubbles for you my friend!

[Clinton514]

I'm not sure how anyone could fall for this. That photo looks fake and I can tell you why, but I won't post it here.

edit: Haha disagrees? Too funny.

[kthing]

hm... if thats how it works cool. dunno what to think about the pic. I'll believe it when i have it running on MY ps3.

[ohhthegore]

I remember resistance running something like that, I just can't remember if thats how it looked

[Blackmoses]

well maybe it is true. It's kinda hard to fake someone taking a bad pic. LOL!!!!

Look at the motion blur around the white lines...someone either doesn't keep still when taking pictures or they have a really bad camera with no auto focusing. Yeah, Resistance does it but it's only for the friends list...no other options. Plus ther isn't a background it always a black background. I don't know any other game that does it like this, this is definitely new. This pic clearly shows the game running and the option to "quit game" along with assigning controller ports, turning of controller, music option and video option. Currently when you push the Home button...it doesn't look like this. This doesn't appear to be fake, but at the same time doesn't mean it's coming anytime soon.

I'm not saying I beleive it but...

We will just have to wait and see!!!!

[Stubacca]

Yeah, it's totally fake like.

Shame. I desperately want full in-game XMB to play tunes and message folk whilst in a game. And maybe go online too. This development would give the PS3 an advantage on every front compared to Microsoft's baby.

Come on Sony. Blow us away!

[TheHater]

When it comes, it comes. But by then, I will be playing UT3, Call of Duty 4, Devil May Cry 4, Mass Effect and other great games.

[Skerj]

If it does come before DMC4 time it'd be the best xmas EVER. But since it isn't, I'll turn down the music ingame and play with my own like always.

So fake.
For the people that think its real, look at this picture.

[Meus Renaissance]

If Sony add in-Game XMB then it's likely they update the theme/design of it as well like they do sometimes with the PS Store. So calling it a fake just because it has additional icons doesn't hold much weight.

Personally I think this is real

[TripleTags]

if you got the new super stardust HD and do the select music thing it has a static menu via options then pops up an XMB like sub menu for music .. so GOD knows how they will handle it In Game for realzees .. personally I think if someone wanted to give the scoop they would take better care in taking the picture ;)

[Skerj]

That's a crappy pic, so I'm not trusting it even though it does look awesome. I was fooled once by IGN years ago with MVC3, I'll never be fooled ever again without proof.

[pwnsause]

it looks pretty authentic, thats why I sent it for approval, IDK though, you didnt really get In-game music in resistance.

[Premonition]

Maybe the reason why some things are missing from the XMB is because sony will limit the things you can access when in game.

[Skerj]

Which is understandable considering you don't need to access the WHOLE XMB within the game, just Music and Friends. But why is the settings icon there on the left?

[Ri0tSquad]

Because its a fake. If I cant even listen to music and mess around in the settings menu at the same time then how would it be possible to do it in-game?

[Staircase]

Hmmm. I guess there is a possibility they could allow you to change Video or Audio settings while in game, its a stretch though. Nice catch, didn't even notice it.

[Jandre02]

Theres no way to tell if this is real or not, especially by saying the settings option is there. It doesnt mean the WHOLE settings band is there, and you cant telll if the music stops when your in the settings part.

But it may give you the option to change from 1080p to 720p (dunno why) and possibly let you change super-white, full RGB etc.

In Game XMB Sooner Than We Think?

Wouldnt they need to travel back in time about 7 months to achieve that? I mean come on we thought we were getting ingame xmb with 2.0 along with home! I'll believe it when it happens. I'm not getting on these hype trains anymore.

[PirateThom]

It does look real, I mean, Resistance previously only had access to a Friend's List from a certain screen, but it's too blurry to be proof.

Hopefully though.

[perseus]

I think I'm the only PS3 owner who doesn't care about in game XMB. It would be nice to have my own music to listen to, but I don't need it.

<begin_random_rant>
Does anyone else get random messages from unknown people who ask to be added to your friends list? It seems like people just randomly invite every single person they see in a game JUST to make their friends list bigger. I think people have misunderstood the meaning of the word friend. If I don't know you, I don't want to hear from you.
