PlayStation 4 features and UI shown off in leaked video

4.5
A video revealing the features and UI of the PlayStation 4 console from Sony has been uploaded to YouTube and was posted to our forums by Audioboxer.

The leaked video which has been recorded in French comes with commentary from the uploader where he outlines features such as Trophies, PSN Store, Profiles, Messages, Friends list, etc.

Sony announced the PlayStation 4 back in February, but has been revealing its features in parts over the past few months. The initial launch just showed off the DualShock 4 controller while the design of the console was revealed in June. PlayStation 4 will arrive in stores during the Holiday season and will go head to head with Microsoft's Xbox One in the next-gen console wars.

The PlayStation 4 launches in the US on November 15 and in Europe on November 29.

It's supposed to be similar so people can understand it

Looks like the same old PSP-PS3 interface. It just has a more rectangular, Windows-like theme to it now. Looks sharp. I dig, but again, but the base interface looks the same way it did almost a decade ago.

idonteveninto i don't get why everyone is crying over the menu and saying it's nearly the same as the ps3's
does nobody care to mention that the xbox 360, xbone, windows 8, and windows phone menu's all look the exact same?
this shouldn't matter anyway, it's the games that should


Maybe because the Xbox 360 dashboard is already relatively new, and even newer coming with the Xbox One. This is a barely upgraded version on the PS3 dashboard. It's 2013 now and they've haven't even made drastic changes in 7 years prior to the PS4's release. That's why.


It amazes me how everyone can ***** about something like this. The way the UI is set up isn't going to prevent you from doing anything that you were able to from before, and we don't know for sure what new things we'll be able to do until we have it in our hands next month. People need to worry less about how the UI is and worry more about the games that are coming out.


I'm going to be using the UI EVERYDAY! I don't want to have to scroll all the way from left to right and then on top of that scroll all the way down just to get to what I'm trying to look for. The icons don't even say anything either, they are just pictures. Someone who just gets a PS4 isn't going to have the slightest clue where to find the thing they want. Quicker and simpler is better and the Xbox's UI is better with both. Plus, no one wants the almost same exactly looking UI as the PS3, if you were to make a poll people would want something new and fresh. I get its a console and it's about the games and everything, but the UI is something you have to consider when you make a console, it just is.

PawnStars I wish i could actually listen to the guys talking instead of that stupid music...


That song is so bad, I had to mute it

Dr-Ponyfile The UI looks similar to the PS3 that doesn't bother me that much at the end of the day you are going to be playing games or doing something else within apps you are not going to be looking at the dashboard all the time people need to grow up.


Yeah same, I liked the ps3s UI
