We possibly have a UI! I really like that UI design, especially for use with Kinect. It definitely has a lot of possibilities. I also agree that it seems strange that they'd move away from the Modern UI, but maybe they thought that this was just too good to use with Kinect 2.0 to give up.

Very interesting! About time business picked up!

+ controller

Please. Controller over everything.

 

[SniperHunter]

reminds me of Vita's GUI

looks rad though

 

[theusedversion]

Why is everyone sporting a "Only On XBOX" badge on their avatar? What is it supposed to mean? Taking sides?

But this one will have AA... .

Or kinect/voice command AND/OR controller AND/OR tablet/phone

xD

Well, it's a pic of a UI shown in 2011. I wouldnt jump to any conclusions yet.

Everything seem to be going the tiled route. Would be funny and amazing to see MS go in a totally new direction for the 720 UI.

 

[Dug]

And you got the animation running forwards again. That's been bugging the hell out of me. Kudos.

Don't you mean Kudo?

 

[Louis Cyphre]

Wow... I don't know what to make of this. It seems very modern (Google Plus, Facebook chat heads), but I'm not sure if navigation will be simple.

If Kinect 2.0 is rumored to be included then I imagine you would just point, swipe and maybe burst the bubbles. You could also use two hands and expend or decrease the size of the bubbles. Voice control would also be adopted and text messages would be written as you talk if needed.

 

[RyanReedyMusic]

I dont know if people understand just how good Kinect actually could be on the hardware they have made for it. Its being reviewed and shot down before it gets a chance. Judging it based on what we have now is completely unfair.

 

[Izick]

Very true. The resemblance with that Xbox Reveal pick is very striking though to ignore.

 

[Karak]

Agreed on the timing but it is also on the Xbox website now as a usable interface. A perfect place to have put metro and a heatmap. I don't know. Maybe.

It's just for fun. Think of it as an easy way for everyone to participate in a celebrate this upcoming event. Anyone that has the symbol is probably really excited; that's all.

I would love that actually, because it would be a surprise, and actually playful again.

Redesing?

What I want is skins support, or something similar.

 

[jond76]

I'd be surprised if it was like that video. Remember, MS is trying to tie all their products together, and this looks nothing like the others. It would make compatibility less intuitive.

6 days we'll know!

It's getting shot down by people predisposed to not liking it. Everyone else is intelligently taking a wait-and-see approach.

 

[Future PhaZe]

I hope they specifically address concerns about the reliability of the launch product beyond just saying " so sorry about that, we've worked hard to do better".

Red ring issue was significant and long enough of an issue that it demands some kind of guaranteed warranty.

Windows 8.1 interface?
But all kidding aside you are right there.

 

[scently]

Can someone link me to the live event app on 360? can't seem to find it.

Quoting myself here. Can someone help me?

 

[RyanReedyMusic]

Yeah exactly. We shall see ever so soon. Im stoked for the conference. Just hope they dont let us down. I have a feeling they will though.

As bad as the RRoD debacle was, they shouldn't bring it up. It's time to move on, they've shown their newer consoles are reliable, that should be enough to assuage any fears.

Not the inner "selecting" lines on the large "#XboxReveal"` bubble look identical to those in the video.

Gotcha. I was wondering why I kept seeing it in people's avatar. Thanks for the reply.

 

[Tek]

I would much rather have the bubbles than the Metro UI.

DON'T BURST MY BUBBLE!

 

[Raide]

Yeah, I am kinda getting sicks of the neat and tidy tiles in everything.

If it is the new UI and built around Voice/Kinect, being able to float around the UI, throwing things around or imagine grouping them together in the order I choose. I can see some MiiVerse things but with more than just a game and its community.

I get the feeling of a universe thing with moving things around in orbits and patterns.

 

[LQX]

Hmm, I can see that being intuitive with Kinect, just grab or push away the bubbles.

 

[Louis Cyphre]

The naysayers keep focusing on the games and while I agree that should be the be the main priority having a navigation and OS be intuitive, clean, easy to use and just interesting could have a big impact. It's something many of us use daily in our lives. Whether on a computer, tablet or smartphone. First impressions go a long ways.

 

[RyanReedyMusic]

Exactly what I was thinking. BOOM Baby

 

[XtremeXpider]

Well, not a fully redesign, but it is flatter than the youtube version.

 

[Izick]

This is exciting! We're all like ravenous dogs, ready to snap at any possible rumor or correlation to find out what the next Xbox is about.

 

[derFeef]

So.. push away the ads!
(sorry)

 

[Baconsammy]

I'd be disappointed if there wasn't a Bubble bubble where you do nothing but pop bubbles.

 

[TheClimaxan]

Guys. I'm hyped, but I need your help.



BALL ME BLAZER.

 

[oVerde]

As a Developer myself, I can't see MS leaving the blocky Metro UI behind so soon, they are using their bubble prototype on small things first and sure benchmarking how it is used by us, 0.1% that the Next Xbox will have it.

 

[RyanReedyMusic]

Yeah man. Its a great feeling. I felt the same for Sony as well. Stoked.

 

[Raide]

The UI is actually one big game, with leaderboards and everything.

 

[Future PhaZe]

It's never been a secret, and I think addressing that issue is better than ignoring it.

The fact that the slims were reliable is kind of irrelevant, that's a result of years of R&D and smaller, cheaper chipsets that weren't an option at launch.

 

[Baconsammy]

I have a feeling that the only bubble that's going to be burst is ours when I turns out to be Metro again. I have no problem with Metro, but this has that new car smell to it.

I think we'll see bubbles, but we'll see flat designs and logos like Modern uses. Just my guess.

Yup.

Maybe the bubble-bubble UI is for Xbox mini (Kinect controlled).

It's funny how the PS2 was crap HW wise but the original Xbox was great and everyone forgets it.

Every now and then shoddy HW is released, doesn't mean it'll happen again.

Hush your bubble hating truths!



but I'm sure you are right...geez things are getting bad in here for new information when we go crazy over bubbles....

 

[TheClimaxan]

I don't know...part of me things it's news, but another part of me things it's just too loose of a rumor. Not to mention I love having all the next Xbox discussion in one thread right now.
