PlayStation 4 Announcement - In Case You Missed It!



Yesterday PlayStation announced their new console the PlayStation 4! After years of rumors and speculations, it is real and I'm glad it is.  I attached the PlayStation announcement video below in case you missed it! I have also included some key highlights below, imagine your friends’ faces as you “Pwn” them in real-time?! Now stop imagining, because it’s going to happen!


The PlayStation 4 is an advanced, x86-based (32-bit) personal computer, making it easier to develop for, solving a major issue with game developers as they do with the PlayStation 3. Sony is emphasizing ease over specs, following the trend of mobile technology. This console is packed with all the power you want!

The PlayStation 4 gives you the freedom of background downloading, something that some of the more powerful PCs do, allowing you to play the game before it’s even done downloading. That is something PCs have never done.

It features a touchpad at the top face of the controller, centered above the analog sticks. The PlayStation 4 camera tracks the players’ movements much like the Xbox Kinect, but it also tracks the controller and other objects in 3D space for an enhanced player experience.


"The online personality of the player has been upgraded to actual video, allowing you to say goodbye to avatars and digital characters in stead of showing the gaming community your true face. You’ll also be able to watch friends or “celebrities” play! You can also play your PlayStation 4 games with your PlayStation Vita. This will enable you to go mobile with your games wherever you can get a WiFi signal."

The only downside is that there will be no native PlayStation 3 backward compatibility. However, you can play them using your PlayStation Vita with Remote Play.
