PS3 GUI Video

Here’s a snippet of IGN Weekly showing off the PS3’s user interface.

Being a PSP owner, this interface looks totally familiar. But I’m wondering where the music, photo, and videos menus are.

Cool stuff, either way.

I’ve noticed how this is all over the net and the general comments seem to be “What? Ow is that using 20% of the system? I at least want some more eye candy” dear me.

I prefer the simple XMB interface, it works quickly and its easy to see where you are. The main thing being you can switch main headings without coming “Back” all the time. Just simple up, down, left, right. The blades in Xbox 360 improve on Media center interface but you still have to go back and forth within optionis in each blade. Confusing sometimes.

Also, this is the DEVELOPER menu. They don’t need a big flashy interface. Or any media functions. The Consumer interface will be much nicer looking with more menu items, although retaining the simple function of XMB.

People are criticising this and saying “that looks naff compared to the E3 demo.. Sony lie again!” Sheesh! Its beyond irritating. Most people know its a developer version, but STILL insist on bashing Sony as if its the final version.

JimmyMagnum : but if it's going to be $10 like MGS and FFVII, then it's definitely worht it
JimmyMagnum : I haven't played it in a while, but it's really good and should hold up well. It's basically Resident Evil with dinosaurs in more ways than 1, but that's OK. Only thing I'd have to get used to is the controls because they control like the first gen RE games as well.
Trev : i'm excited for dino crisis. does it still hold up well to be worth the buy?
JimmyMagnum : correction, 2548
JimmyMagnum : Look at some old reviews for DC2 and it got a lot of 10/10 equivalents and a few more with 9/10+. (IGN gave it a 9.3). I think I still have the first one somewhere, but I'd really like the second one though. The third one came out in 2003, but I think it was for Xbox and was all futuristic. Took place in 2458, never played it though. Didn't get too many good reviews
Tosh : Ya, that's very true, lol.
JimmyMagnum : DC2 was in a more exotic jungle location with a lot more dinos. IMO, it was awesome, but I only ever rented it. I wish Capcom would remake those games for this generation. No other game really has that much action with dinosaurs lol.
Tosh : Ya, I played Dino Crisis 1 but not 2. Any good?
JimmyMagnum : thx for fixing that! Sent in the QuickNews. I wish Dino Crisis 2 would have been included though...
