Sony: Bring back "XMB" Game Music
- Thread starter Pankratous
- Start date
Or whatever the "XMB" is called on PS5.
Metal Gear Solid 4 - XMB Menu Theme
youtu.be
Man, hovering over a game and just listening to the music was fucking cool. Extra video is an optional neat feature but I'm all for the music.
Bring it back!
P.S - What was your favourite XMB game theme?
This is still a thing on PS4. Not all titles have it, but a lot of them do. Just gotta hit down on the icon.
Couldn't remember the exact lyrics, but definitely the first one I thought of.
I don't know how they did it, but my monitor was always at 40/100 volume and some of these games were unacceptably loud. I still scroll quickly past the ones I remember when I'm messing around on the ps3.
Even the goddamn save file had this, you couldn't escape from it.
BAAAARRHHHHHHHHHH
Lol good memories
I used to test my tweeters with Siren
I especially loved the music from Star Wars Force Unleashed and Dragon Age.
but overall I agree with the majority that some of the tracks were super annoying and that this feature is better served through dynamic themes.
Man just remembered how loud and annoying one of the WWE games was with the Rock's theme music shouting every single time "if you smeeeellll...."

YES
the MGS4 XMB music was so HYPE.
I'm pretty sure that song has left me with PTSD. Can't even remember the name of the game - Shit Portal maybe?
This hits home. Nothing like waking up the whole house with that song when starting up a late night or early morning gaming session.
Some PS4 games definitely still do this! I like it.
I just want PS5 to not 'BEEP' super loud, making everyone in the house aware that I am playing videogames. That's really my only request.

Preach preacher!
Ace Combat X on PSP.
Folk I remember the xmb music for that Yu-Gi-Oh game being literally the loudest shit I ever heard in my life.
Yes please. We lost some great features that PS3 OS had:
- Custom themes
- Video thumbnails with music
- Music player with a beautiful Earth background
- Movies and music saved to the hard drive
- HD gametrailers you could download
- Dozens of supported audio codecs
All done with less than 100 MB of RAM.

You forgot this feature:
- Not being able to see any icons or details of your games as you scrolled because everything had to be loaded in from the hard drive.
Blew my ears off and scared the shit out of me every time I accidentally pressed the wrong direction.
This shit was always so damn loud LOL
Some games do have it if you press down on the game square

It is still, kinda, a thing on ps4.
If you look at the game folder where the trophies and other stuff is listed the music plays.
I'm not a fan of autoplay music on 1st menu level, so i'm happy they solved it like that.
But they should add a scroll function for that menu level, so that you can scroll left and right to different games.

this, only if it's toggleable
it was so annoying having to listen to some of that music while waiting for a game to finish deleting...
Yes. For all the bad there is so much potential for good. Infamous 2's use of Gorgeous Corpse is so damn good.
Fuck no. There was nothing worse than backing out to the dash for a minute, accidentally hovering over the logo for Madden or Assassin's Creed and hearing BUM, BUH DUM DUM, BUH BUH BUM.
