PlayStation 4 user interface shown off

A batch of screenshots shows off the user interface for the PlayStation 4.

5
Plenty of people have noted the distinct lack of an actual hardware showing at the PlayStation 4 announcement, but the presentation didn't give much time to a much more prevalent part of day-to-day use: the user interface. Sony changed that today, with a set of screenshots showcasing the UI as it appears on the system itself, along with mobile and tablet mock-ups. The interface, posted on Gematsu and later confirmed by Kotaku, looks as if it takes some cues from the recent PlayStation Store update. The game page includes a quick overview of friends, shared media, add-on content, and popular videos. We also get a look at the social page filled to the brim with throw-downs and videos, and a closer look at the Share feature with a "Trim Video" function. Take a look in the gallery to see all of the screens.

      Nice interface. Should go well with the touch pad on the Dual Shock 4. And I'm assuming you could use your Vita and its touch screen to navigate also.

      looks like what MS was going for but ultimately failed at doing. Thank you SONY for showing MS how to do it.

      the friends profile and social feed screens look like absolute garbage. too busy with too much information being smashed together in difficult to parse ways.

      The social feed screen looks like a page full of nothing but ads.

      Hopefully it's still fast and responsive. As much as people razz on XMB being obscure, it didn't bog down or lag like the 360's various generations of the Dashboard (especially the "Metro Dashboard" in 2011).
