Blog l PS4 interface, inside

In the presentation of Gamescom 2013 which gave us the date of release of PS4, also saw its interface and analyze here the step by step in a video you can not miss a frame. More or less, what we were taught was all that passes before you start to play a game of the new PlayStation. In the demo, we saw that the overall speed of the interface is high, smooth animations and startup, is not eternal. However, it feels that the machine came from a state of rest. Otherwise, bravo for Sony, which offer a console again. A game made ​​to begin working soon after turning or have control in our hands. Who is in the chair? Well, as we have seen on Twitter and other references, it is the president of Sony World Wide Studios, Shuhei Yoshida . Observe the display console sharing with another user. There are different profiles with your photo and if PS4 Xbox One looks like in this, surely dispongamos many advantages for anyone who has their profile associated with the machine. The truth is reminiscent of the interface of Windows 8 Xbox 360 also adapted some time and certainly use Xbox One in a new version. The Order 1886 passes before our eyes and then DriveClub. The first one we know we want to see more and second, that we love the interiors of their cars. When you hover over an icon shows basic options. A summary, our recent activity and related objects. If you look a bit, see the menu you know from PlayStation 3, the XMB. The menu CrossBar was right by Sony PlayStation 4 is still on. For those who have become accustomed to navigate the PS3 menus, this is good news. We see changes, but with the base that works apparently intact and adapting what other seems to be a hit. Speaking of variations, the Settings menu or configuration passes the far right, next to the icon off. We list the games, the menu button, one with the music symbol and a video together, just before the internet for the issue of browser and more, we suppose. Further to the right we see a TV icon that indicates the section view programs such as IGN channel where available, apps, maybe ... and a down arrow indicates that there are more. If we go to find the top trophy icon, which is held in PS4 and will undergo some changes. Will have to see how he keeps the trajectory and how PS3 and Vita passes from the new Sony console. A little to the left is the profile icon. In this case, it is Shushei Yoshida and put underneath ShuGamescom2013 . It means you can put your real name or hide it, so that you are from Facebook and other social networks, unless you want to maintain your anonymity. Looks like we crossed chat between games or interface with channels to manage and then comes the messages section. Along with this are the friends and notifications. This is interesting because it tells us what happened while we were not playing or when we were on to other things. Here seems to be the challenges when clap our records in racing games or invite us to do something with multiplayer titles. When you reach the section Live from PlayStation , it gets very interesting. It is one of the highlights in previous presentations. The whole issue of recording the games, share them and see what our friends at all times, as they want to, of course. It seems that some videos are live, others deferred and can interact with other somehow. Also appearing ratings. All game sessions can be viewed in full screen or display extra information. If we have the PS4 video camera also recorded our face while we play, youtuber style. Recall that the last 15 minutes are recorded and we can always go back to see those special moments that we want to repeat. In videos, apart from a score, are feedback we say trolling level of each of them and, for example, what is the second WTF! shift. Is the character icon tells us how many people are watching it now? It seems that Sony is having great time while we are attentive to your conference. Another interesting thing is that we can change the camera, at least in the interactive videos. During playback you can make screenshots to share them, name them and, incidentally, we see the PS4 keyboard. Words appear to speed up writing and it seems that the interface is well suited to resolutions of 1080. The evolution from the early days of PS3 has been slow, but it finally seems that we will forget the less happy moments of the interface we've had in the current generation.

Each time is less for the PS4 launch in Europe until October 29 , so we will soon have more information about what we will find when you turn. Do you have entered more eager to have it at home?
