News & Rumours: Playstation 4/ Orbis *spin*

[Gradthrawn]

Okay, I think I've heard that before. Sony just needs to educate people.

Ir's in their FAQ.

Does PS4’s graphical user interface have a name like the PS3 system’s “Cross Media Bar”?
PS4’s GUI is called PlayStation Dynamic Menu. We developed the new GUI based on key development ideas for PS4: Simple, Immediate, Social, Integrated, and Personalized.

It's previous name was Connected UI, IIRC.

PlayStation Kids Menu (PSKM), also available at McDonald's.

No space PLEASE!!!!!!!!

Well...what about a 'firefly serenity' like epos from ND?? The hero would already match...

What don't they coin an informal term for the main UI ? In iOS, it's the SpringBoard. In Mac OSX, it's the desktop. Even on Vita, we have a bunch of LiveAreas.

Dynamic Menu sounds more like a characteristic than a "place" or a thing.

Perhaps Base Menu?
PlayStation Base Menu.
PS BM.
PSBM.

It has a certain ring to it...

 

[BoardBonobo]

Sounds more like it should have rings through it....

Since it's kinda confirmed it will be a space-based game, one would hope that ND would spin it and make it more compelling than 99.9% of the completely uninteresting space games out there.

 

[patsu]

Wait a minute, I thought ND said their next game is not space-based after that rumor started ?

Edit:

Perhaps Base Menu?

PS BM.
PSBM.

Simple, Immediate, Social, Integrated, and Personalized.

But no custom skins at this time ...

Oh, it's completely personalized by Sony. Just not the end users. At this time.

 

[Arwin]

Right.

Obviously they mean the content only, but hey ... eventually who knows if the themes make their way back. I did rather enjoy them. That said, the XMB also left a lot of room for them.

They did debunk the rumor: no space game apparently.

I miss fancy names for CPU/GPUs...

Liverpool will probably get a fancy name once they reveal the chip.

Why would they rename a city because of a chip reveal...

To name the city after the processor, natch. Liverpool is going to renamed AMD R9 285X or somesuch.

He was joking (it made me chuckle).

Yes, Xenon/Xenos was kinda cool. RSX was... so so, but it made a bit of a difference, people knew what techies were talking about when discussing about the PS3. What about Glue? -because it is an APU, and the CPU/GPU are unified-.

Or Truffle Shell instead of onion and garlic.

 

[patsu]

The Cell processor is alright.

RSX's full name is Reality Synthesizer I think.
