REPOST OF THE ORIGINAL POST:
Yes, yes I know... another one you ask? (well I'm planning to finish AND support all three themes :P)

I got a few wip stuff that i think would look quite cool (for example, i got this for game settings :o

Here's a little sneak peak (what do you think? :o)

take care :P (I'll post the links for the GT theme tonight all done with sounds fixed if you're wondering).
Click to expand...

as in good or bad? what do you mean? (my basic idea for the theme is to have a really clean background, along the line of almost black dark, something simple with the killzone 2 logo with the awesome details on it and just have the icons stand out from it :O

something clean like what i did with the gt theme without backgrounds but this will have one I think :P

alba you crazy man, you must have loads of work on your plate, this theme is looking awesome as always, can't wait to see it come along like the GT one. Keep up the fantastic work. 👍
 
it's fun to do :P

EDIT: I'm gonna get killzone 1 on ps2 so i can get some art assets from that, anybody has cool ideas for icons killzone related or ideas? because I haven't played the first game so, i don't know the story so much and all and i'm looking for ideas to make icons that would fit the world, hit me up, people!

Only one I got so far is the triangle thingy for friends like I did GT symbol for the other theme and maybe the red eyes guy for users :O

Posting new wip (with changed base circle) in a few minutes :)

I think i got the shape style, kinda (reduced the mini icon size) and i'm planning to make new icons or change them quite a bit so it doesn't feel like rehashed GT icons stuff, I really want to do something killzone'ish (I'm getting the game tonight so i can finish it xD)


Gimme ideas or/and feedback! :P
 
I would try a square design just so see what is looks like, but dont get rid of this design. I like where you are going with it.
 
square would be too weird i think, maybe for the main xmb icons, i don't know :o
 
Some attempts at the friend icon (GT style! at least for the symbol, lol)

EDIT: figured angled stuff looks quite ****, I came up with something I think is way better :P

Ok guys, this is it we're barely one month from release and I'll challenge myself to release this theme the 25th February 2009!!

I've completely rebooted the project, made new icons new background etc since we got a glimpse of the new menu, the hint of red in the design and so on so I'm currently trying to remake the exact same menu from Killzone 2 (ingame) to the PS3 XMB interface. I guess it's become my trademark of making themes look exactly or as close as possible to their original ingame self.

I'll explain the whole process and my progression in a blog post and update this thread as well as the blog post everytime I got something new to show or updates.

I have a rough beta theme file right now which i'm constantly updating and reuploading on my ps3 to test changes and make sure I got everything right.

Sprite if you read this, get your ass on msn we got work to do! If anyone else would like to help let me know.

Thanks!
 
I look forward to this, the 'Official' KZ2 theme on the PS Store was pretty underwhelming. Keep up the great work alba 👍

It'd be great to have a rusted metal background instead of a solid color or one with a lot of action going on, and I think those icons would blend well with a roughed up background.
 
well I'm using the the main menu background from the game and trust me, it fits PERFECTLY :P
 
Im really looking foreward to this theme Alba! You won't just throw out all the other KZ icon stuff you have already done in this thread will you? Please tell me you going to release that to because it looks great!

Robin.
 
Actually robin, it's already gone (brand new stuff which is tons better) I'm in the process of updating the first post right now with my little "progress" text file since the game is still under embargo and so on and I'm having a friend with a review copy helping me out with screenshots sounds and so on.

I'll only post what's already available on the net right now, hehe :)

And i'm redoing every single one icon (I plan on reusing only the gamepad and PSP icon and SD/USB cards from the GT one)
 
I updated the OP with the progress file and the "roadmap" of this, I'll have teaser pictures (and a teaser video I think) soon so I'll let you guys know when it's coming, in the mean time I'm hard at work on this so, wish me luck :P
 
Cant wait to see what you have in store for us.
 
I'm about ~70% done with it, making good progress so far!
 
I plan on releasing it the 11th so, for now it's all a secret :P
 
Yeah I know, you know me. Should be up within a few hours I'm just editing the last icon, everything else is done :)
 
Sorry for late reply to this thread Alba, I actually have been using the new theme for a bit now and I really like it, I need a Chinese Icon for users for my Chinese account but other than that Its a fantastic theme, better than the PSN one.

Plus I wanted to give this a bump because it would be more used now people are playing KZ2.
