Created for Sony Interactive Entertainment. Available December 6 in US and EU for $2.99
We are pleased to bring you this theme, created with input from SIE US, Japan, and Naughty Dog.
After multiple prototypes over the last 2 years, each of which were designed to mimic functional aspects of the PS2 Dashboard, we have been given the opportunity to combine multiple disparate elements into a single piece of theme software which mimics the sights, sounds, and functionality of the Playstation 2 Dashboard.
Upon starting up, users are treated fully recreated ‘boot’ sequence. PlayStation 2 logo cannot be used due to licensing restrictions, (believe me, we tried; also, using the PlayStation 4 logo in the same style was considered but ultimately not approved) so we have taken an opportunity to create a mid-boot ‘Easter Egg,’ which changes randomly with every login.
From there, the “Seven Stars” make an appearance, coalescing from random points to recreate the mathematical and dynamic formations to accompany the passage of time, similarly recreated from the original PlayStation 2 bios in the form of the Crystal Clock.
Color shifting is now controlled via user input, with subtle shifts in particle speed and behavior. Additionally, original audio has been taken from the PS2 hardware and recreated in the background ambience and custom keynotes for this theme.
Lastly, as is our standard, this theme has been designed for 1080p, 4k/UHD, and OLED displays.
I love this so much. That startup sound brings me back, man. Wow, excellent job!
we are worthy
Oh. My. God. You guys actually did it. How the hell did you convince Sony to do this?!?! I cannot WAIT!
SHUT UP AND TAKE ALL MY MONEY!!!
and I thought my FFVII theme was never going to be changed sorry Cloud
God is real.
Real question is does it have the red screen of death
Available December 6? That’s my birthday! I can’t wait to use this theme, you guys did an incredible job 😀
I’m going to buy the crap out of this.
it’s great but It would’ve been better instead of the legacy logo a PlayStation logo appears
I will pay you top dollar if you can get towers to form depending on how much space you have used on your system.
The PSN is riddled with lazy shitty themes and yours are always diamonds, appreciate you
Hands down possibly the best theme I’ve seen. Now they just gotta clean up their theme library so I can actually get this without passing 200 garbage themes.
This will be my first time paying money for a theme and it’s 100% worth it.
Very nice work! Only 2 small critiques..
1. I wish you had included the “memory pillars” in the first part even if they were static
2. The “seven stars” seem to be missing their trail effects which created a sort of sphere when they moved around
SAME RELEASE AS JAK AND DAXTER 2,3,X FOR PS4 CRAZY
You know what’s better than feeling the touch of a woman, feeling your youth return to you.
YOU GUYS AND GALS DID IT! *THANK YOU!*
Expect my purchase.
So can I pre-order this, because it’s well worth it!
