About Playstation 4


PlayStation 4



The PlayStation 4 (Japanese: プレイステーション4 Hepburn: Pureisutēshon Fō?, officially abbreviated as PS4) is an upcoming video game console from Sony Computer Entertainment. Billed as the successor to the PlayStation 3, the PS4 was officially announced at a press conference on February 20, 2013. The announcement makes it the second eighth-generation console to be officially confirmed, the first being Nintendo's Wii U. It will also be the fourth game console in Sony's PlayStation series. The PS4 is expected to launch in the fourth quarter of 2013.

Moving away from the Cell architecture, the PlayStation 4 will be the first in the Sony series to feature compatibility with the x86 architecture, specifically x86-64, which is a widely used platform common in many modern PCs. The idea is to make video game development easier on the next-generation console, attracting a broader range of developers large and small. These changes highlight Sony's effort to improve upon the lessons learned during the development, production and release of the PS3. Other notable hardware features of the PS4 include 8 GB of memory and a faster Blu-ray drive.
Among new applications and services, Sony plans to release the PlayStation App, allowing PS4 owners to turn smartphones and tablets into a second screen to enhance gameplay. The company also plans to debut Gaikai, a cloud-based gaming service that hosts downloadable content and games. By incorporating a share button on the new controller and making it possible to view in-game content being streamed live from friends, Sony plans to place more focus on social gameplay as well.

Social Features:
Social" was one of the five major principles discussed by Sony at the PlayStation 4 Meeting 2013. Although the console will feature social functionality, the features are optional and can be disabled.
The DualShock 4 controller includes a SHARE button. Pressing this button allows the player to cycle through the last several minutes of gameplay to select a clip appropriate for sharing. Video can be uploaded directly from the console, either to websites or other PSN users.
Gamers will have the ability to use real names with friends, in addition to a moniker in other situations when anonymity is important. They will also be able to stream video of their games live via services such as Ustream, allowing friends to view and comment on them.

Controllers:

The DualShock 4 will be the PlayStation 4's main controller. Similar to the DualShock 3, it will connect to the console via Bluetooth 2.1+EDR.The DualShock 3, however, will not be compatible with PS4.[30] The DualShock 4 will be equipped with several new features, including a built-in two-point capacitative touch pad on the front of the controller, which can be clicked. The controller will support motion detection via a three-axis gyroscope and three-axis accelerometer and improved vibration. It will include a non-removable, rechargeable lithium-ion battery tentatively capable of storing 1000 mAh. The tentative design weighs 210 g (7.4 oz), has dimensions of 162 × 52 × 98 mm (6.4 × 2.0 × 3.9 in), and has a rubber or etched plastic backing to enhance grip. The design shown at the PlayStation 4 reveal event was "near final". However, the DualShock 4 will not be demoed until around E3 2013.

The controller will feature several output connectors. Its stereo jack (3.5 mm TRS connector) will support the connection of a headset to allow a user to speak and hear audio simultaneously. A micro USB port, an extension port, and a mono speaker will also be included. The controller can be charged via microUSB, a dedicated charging station, or the console (even when the console is off).
The DualShock 4 will feature the following buttons: PS button, SHARE button, OPTIONS button, d-pad, action buttons (triangle, circle, cross, square), shoulder buttons (R1/L1), triggers (R2/L2), analog stick click buttons (L3/R3) and a touch pad click button. These mark several changes from the DualShock 3 and other previous PlayStation controllers. The START and SELECT buttons have been merged into a single OPTIONS button. A dedicated SHARE button will allow players to upload video from their gameplay experiences.The joysticks and triggers have been redesigned based on developer input. The joysticks now will feature a concave surface, similar to that of the Xbox 360 controller.
The DualShock 4 will also feature a light bar that can display different colors. The colors will help identify players and alert them with critical messages such as low health. It also will interact with a camera attachment that perceives movement and depth by using the controller's light bar. It is based on the existing technology used in the PlayStation Move. Existing PlayStation Move controllers will be supported on the PS4.
