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?

The second hand will depend on each company

On the thorny issue of the second hand, the company has said that they have designed the console so that the editors are those who can allow or disallow sharing shopping games, so Microsoft will not establish any kind of fee to distributors, enable consumers shopping or titles, decision lies with the editors.

If there were any doubt, when Xbox One is on and you are having a conversation in the living room, the conversation is not going to be recording or internet.

Xbox One or how to reinvent the wheel

There was much expectation and it showed when the machine, and known as Xbox One, appeared in the middle of the screen of all the PCs in the world who were following the presentation streaming successor to the Xbox 360. New design, interface, control , capabilities and even a kinect improved. Just to re-compete with PS4 to later this year. But one thing. To begin with, in my humble opinion, Xbox One has won a battle, and is nothing to show that since the public. That image, like it or not, come the hypothetical you may have PS4 and probably will not see until E3 2013. From there, a presentation with many famous, massive information and an image search of the conquest of the room as mediacenter, something not new, since it is the same as was sought with Xbox 360. It is this image that, for the comments made by many on Twitter and other social networks, not liked the classic console fans. Voice commands and integration of Internet take control, which together with the wide range of applications and multimedia content have occupied much space in the conference, which has been able to downplay the titles at stake. We have also seen how Kinect not only does not disappear as some said, but takes more prominence. Microsoft has revealed a Kinect next-generationXbox One, which features a new design and a camera with 1080p quality, plus recognition by voice. The aim is to bring the usability that have reached touchscreens of smartphones and tablets to this new version of Kinect, which also offer a conversational relationship with the user, not as direct and stiff as its predecessor. Technically, it was rumored that Xbox One will offer a special kernel and will include Instant Switching , quepermitirá users to change section content such as music or television to games instantly. The new console announced byDon Mattrick , president of Microsoft , will incorporate a capacity of 500 GB and own 8 cores, 8GB RAM, BluRay player, Wi-Fi ...

A lime and sand

addition, after so many rumors emerged in the months prior to the filing of Xbox One, finally discards the permanent connection on the new console from Microsoft. In the 'Xbox Reveal' have been able to settle the matter, since the machine does not need to be always connected to play your games. A lime and sand, because for Xbox Reveal, Microsoft has confirmed one of the fears of the users of Xbox 360: the next-generation console will not be compatible with its predecessor titles. Finally, Microsoft has announced that the new machine will hit stores worldwide later this year. The exact date has not been revealed, but presumably that reveal at E3 2013 that will take place in Los Angeles (USA).
