| SWORDF1SH said: False information. The PS4 still uses the XMB but in a different way to the PS3. When Sony revealed the PS4 in Feb 2013, we did think it had be ditched. But it still does use it, it was even shockingly shown off by Yoshida months before launch. http://youtu.be/EaPoLJyDZmM?t=28s I also use a PS4 a lot and its there, albeit an adapted and evolved version. |
The new UI has of course similarities to the old XMB (brand recognition), but can you offer a source where a sony employee confirms that it's still the XMB instead of a new user interface which plugs in some ideas and design choices of its predecessor?

"My personal view is that the Cross Media Bar has well outlived its… it doesn’t look new, fresh, contemporary any more. It’s not really up to the demands of, particularly, the vision of the PS4, and therefore showing we have absolutely made a quantum leap in terms of our user interface and those design principles of PS4, and demonstrating them live on stage last night, for me, that was a really, really exciting way to start the show."
