this would be cooler if it actually fit with the UI instead of just being some lazy background but oh well

The original xbox background was way cooler

 

[Hollowpoint5557]

What exactly is "dynamic" about that background?

[Jinzo Prime]

You mean after all this time they couldn't be arsed to make an actual Blades interface? They can just F off.

 

[onQ123]

Was happy until I seen it in motion lol

 

[MarkMe2525]

Fun for a little nostalgia, but there are more visually pleasing backgrounds available.

 

[Hero of Spielberg]

Yeah, swing and a miss here. If the blades don't move with the UI, what's the point?

[Antwix]

Wow cool a background gif...

 

[Jaybe]

Trying to remember their glory days

 

[LordCBH]

Would be cool if it made the UI into the Blades.

 

[//DEVIL//]

Way to miss the point MS….

Calling them dynamic is a bit generous to be honest. They are barely if at all better than PS3 themes. Of course when you give this opinion on their feedback Reddit you just get downvotes.

If your going to have themes why not make them of a decent standard or even part of the rewards app or achievements ?

Yup, what's the point if the blades dont move

 

[user friendly]

Well that isn't very nice. People actually want this so seems a bit f youish to me.

 

[ShirAhava]

This seems lazy but 'Blades' was ugly never understood the love

'NXE' was my jam

Anything is better than Metro tho

[ZehDon]

I guess that's nice, but it's not as good as the OG Xbox dynamic background.

 

[Topher]

What exactly is "dynamic" about that background?

Nothing really. Not sure who would want this, frankly.

 

[Deft Beck]

Really lazy looking. Wish it actually animated.

 

[SHA]

What's xbox series background? You just can't look back forever.

 

[Sushi_Combo]

Honestly, better they didn't put out such a lazy callback to their greatest generation.

 

[bender]

Nothing really. Not sure who would want this, frankly.

"How can we tap into nostalgia without any of the effort? We only have a 3 TRILLION dollar market cap right now."

Get fucked.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Loved the old Blades UI. Ya, looking back, it was low res 720p I think and the blades could only hold so many functional boxes to do stuff.

But it looked nice and was fast.

The second they upgraded to the slicker looking UI, everything slowed to a crawl. Not sure why. Musta had to due with better looking graphics and dashboard themes slowing everything down.

 

[Mr.Phoenix]

lol...this is a super cheap attempt at milking that nostalgia itch.

 

[Soltype]

What a waste.If they had done this right, people would have spent money for it.

 

[Syphon Filter]

meh, thought they would add an option to turn the ui that way.

 

[Caffeine]

Tried the theme it's shit went back to the abstract green space looking one.
