Sony Releases Clear Screens Of The PS4 User Interface

I can’t wait to play Combat Plane 2 on my brand new PlayStation 4.

These interface images are scattered with fake game titles and images, as well as imagined comment threads and mobile mock-ups. I know that’s a necessary step at this stage – rather than give away all the game titles they’ve got coming – but I find it quite amusing.

Fancy a go on the Dragons and Cavaliers multiplayer when it comes out?

Anyway, to the point. Sony has today released the user interface screenshots it used at its stage presentation last week. So there’s nothing really new here but we do get a nice crisp look at how the PS4’s front-end menu systems are currently looking. I would imagine that there’s some scope for change as they continue refining and developing their ideas but, so far, I really like this.

It’s very reminiscent of the recent store redesign, perhaps obviously, but the heaps of super fast RAM and that beefy APU should ensure that it zips along. Let us know what you think below.

  1. It’s bad that the 4th screenshot is probably the best screenshot I’ve seen of Knack yet.Makes it look semi-interesting….well more interesting than the original reveal had me feeling.

  2. I wouldn’t call these PS4 UI screenshots. They’re more shots of the social features. i.e. When you power up the PS3, you get the XMB, then when you enter the Store app, you get screens similar in layout to these.

    We still have no idea what they actual interface will look like – the XMB equivalent/replacement, and the one you first see when you power up the system, before you dive into these areas.

  3. What’s that, new user?! Hi everyone : )

    It looks a bit too social-media-ry for me and with my humble internet connection I expect a lot more empty squares when mine boots up!

    • Awww poor boeboe.

      • The countryside has its upsides. No wait..

        Has anyone noticed under Henry Bales name a reference to dayz?? COOL

      • What’s Dayz?

        Oh and welcome.

      • DayZ’s an ARMA 2 mod for the PC, obviously but they’re working on a standalone game. Its like 28 weeks later come left4dead online. Surely that can’t be a coincidence meaning hopefully its coming to PS4…PLZ!

  4. On the trophy side i would like to see a trophy cabinet on the main menu and not the basic shot of trophies like we have now but ones where you can rotate the actual trophy.Also instead of a ping for getting a tophy there should be a voice for how hard,easy or rare the trophy is.Like a sarcastic voice for when you get an easy trophy for just turning the game on.

  5. My trophy count is extremely close to that of ‘Henry Bayle’. Where’s my prize?!

  6. Where’s the massive singstar logo?

  7. The last screen looks like a worse version of the Metro UI.

  8. I hope there’s some feature that means people on your friends list (if you allow them) can see your real name and photo but if you’re just in a game with some random people that aren’t on your friends list all they can see is an avatar and an anonymous alias
