In preparation for tomorrow's announcement, Sony Playstation have released a video which looks back at the evolution of Playstation games and how they pushed the boundaries of play with their innovative titles.

​

You can watch a global livestream broadcast of the PlayStation Meeting this Wednesday (February 20th, 2013) starting at 6:00pm EST, 3:00pm PST and 11:00pm GMT at these links...

UPDATE:

A press release reveals the machine will include an 8-core 64-bit x86 "Jaguar" CPU developed by AMD and a Radeon GPU with the capability of terrorizing televisions with 1.84 TFLOPS of gaming goodness.

PlayStation 4 includes a Blu-ray drive that spins game discs a brisk 6X and 8X for DVDs. Additional specs in the release note the, already revealed, 8GB of unified GDDR5 RAM along with 802.11n WiFi capability, USB 3.0 ports, Bluetooth 2.1 and ports for optical audio, HDMI and even legacy analog AV hook-ups. Though the console will have internal storage, Sony did not detail its size.

Sony's plan is to launch its new PlayStation 4 console this holiday season. No specific date or price was revealed during the reveal event.

The PS4's main features include:

• - New DualShock 4 controller with built in touchpad
• - Dramatically improved graphics and processing power
• - Based on same X86 chips used in desktop computer to help game developers
• - 3D camera that can track the controller, and the player
• - Games can also be played on Sony's Vita handheld console

The future of PlayStation is all about great games and entertainment, and at PlayStation Meeting 2013, we brought some of the brightest and most creative minds from the development community on stage to unveil the games that will define PS4. A partial initial lineup for PlayStation 4 includes first-party games from Guerilla Games (Killzone: Shadow Fall), Sucker Punch (inFamous Second Son), Evolution Studios (Driveclub), and Japan Studio (Knack), as well as titles from our partners such as Activision/Bungie (Destiny), Blizzard Entertainment (Diablo III), Capcom (Deep Down), and Ubisoft (Watch_Dogs). PlayStation also reinforced its commitment to self-publishing and the independent development community by having Jonathan Blow onstage who gave a sneak peek of his upcoming title The Witness. Finally, the incredible minds at Media Molecule and Quantic Dream gave glimpses of their conceptualization process and the future of gameplay with some remarkable footage. We only scratched the surface at the event, and will have many more exciting titles to come.

Our next generation console will change the way you interact with friends while you play. PlayStation 4 lets you instantly share images and videos of your favorite gameplay moments on Facebook with a single press on the DUALSHOCK 4 controller’s “share” button. You can also broadcast while you play in real-time through Ustream, allowing friends to comment or jump into your game in new ways.

With PlayStation 4 we also want you to access your games quicker than ever before. PS4’s “suspend mode” eliminates the load time on your saved game and allows you to immediately return to where you left off by pressing the power button. PlayStation 4’s background downloading and updating capability also allows you to immediately play digital titles as they download, or update the system when the hardware is powered off.

DUALSHOCK 4 adopts the familiar form factor of the DUALSHOCK 3 wireless controller with some key enhancements:

• - Motion control is enabled by a new highly sensitive six-axis sensor
• - Dual analog sticks fine-tuned for better precision plus improved surface materials and shape for more delicate manipulation
• - L2/R2 buttons on the top of the controller employ a curved design for easier, smoother interaction
• - A new “Options” button combines the functions of the DUALSHOCK 3’s “Select” and “Start” buttons for operating in-game menus

You can see more images of the new DUALSHOCK 4 controller here.

Here's full details on system update 2.50 (codenamed "Yukimura"), which rolls out tomorrow!

• Suspend/Resume: Supported by nearly all of your PS4 games, you can jump in and out of your games with just the press of the PS button. Quickly switch from Rest Mode to powered-up so you can pick up where you left off.
• Back-up and restore HDD to USB: Back-up and restore your hard disc drive data associated with users on your PS4, including settings, saved data, screenshots and video clips as well as games, patches and download data, to and from an external USB drive.
• Find and connect with friends: “Yukimura” adds to an already robust set of social tools, bringing several updates to continue making PS4 the best place to play with your friends, including:
  • Facebook friend finder – Using your linked account, you can expand your network by searching and connecting with your Facebook friends.
  • Improved friend requests – Friend requests and Real Name requests can be sent together in one step when adding a friend on PS4.
  • Streamlined Party process – The process to create a Party has been streamlined with a reduction in the number of steps required.
  • Find friends who play your games – Easily view what friends are playing on each game detail page with a real-time “Friends Who Play This” section, which also highlights which friends are currently online and playing it, and allows you to jump directly into the game.
  • Join Friends directly from news feed – A new tile will be added on your What’s New feed where you can see what your friends are currently playing, enabling you to join in the game if you own it.
• Share earned trophies and optimise your trophy list: We know that Trophies are important to many gamers, so we’re bringing more control with how you show them off:
  • Automatic Trophy screenshots – A screenshot will automatically be captured when a Trophy is earned, preserving the moment to share with friends.
  • SHARE Trophies – Players can share Trophy information to Facebook, Twitter or via Message by pressing the SHARE button.
  • Additional Trophy sorting options – Sort your Trophy list by Earned Date, Not Earned and Grade.
  • Delete 0% Trophies – Remove games from your Trophy list that have zero percent completion.
• Improved and expanded accessibility options: New options added to customise the user experience include:
  • Customised button assignments for DUALSHOCK 4.
  • Zoom for displayed pictures and inverted colors for all system functions, apps and in-game.
  • Text-to-speech for all graphical user interface, including Message and Party.
  • Enlarged text for all graphical user interface, including Message and Party, as well as the system’s browser.
  • Bolder fonts and higher contrast UI for all system applications (but will not apply to games or third-party applications).
• Remote Play and Share Play: For games that support 60 fps, users will be able to automatically enjoy those games with 60fps for both Remote Play and Share Play* on supported devices.
• Automatic installation for system software updates: Enable automatic installation for future system software updates.
• Sub-account upgrade: Enable users 18 years of age or older with sub-accounts to upgrade to a master account directly on PS4, removing restrictions on chat and enabling users to add funds to their Wallet, purchase content and more.
• Verified Accounts: Select game developers, producers, designers and community managers will be verified with a badge.
• Dailymotion: Upload video clips directly to Dailymotion via the SHARE button.

I feel I'm alone on this because a Google search doesn't bring up anything recent... ever since the 2.50 update my PS4 has started making a faint but constant beeping noise (it sounds like a car alarm in the distance) when the console is turned off. It's barely noticeable during the day when I'm busy doing other things in my room, but it's really annoying at night when I'm in bed trying to get to sleep... I've had to start fumbling with the power cable every night and disconnecting it before I go to bed. Anyone else experienced anything like this since the update?

 

[Scary Hair]

@Noodles

Mine did that . I was on the last of us thought it was outside then relised it was in game . The game was jumpie stuttering strange . Stright after the updade the alarm did it about 4 times .

NOTHING when it was off or since .

This is that moment when you realize auto updating isn't such a major feature. Having problems from an update is a big fear of mine.

 

[Jace88]

@Noodles haven't had any problems with the upstate on my ps4, even in rest mode...hope it gets sorted mate

 

[Noodles]

This is that moment when you realize auto updating isn't such a major feature. Having problems from an update is a big fear of mine.

I've never actually used auto update and always completely power off my console... I could probably understand the beeping if I did leave it in standby mode though. Someone else I know has had problems with their friends list not loading properly since one of the earlier updates, and it still doesn't work right to this day apparently... I've heard stories about updates giving other people really random issues too, so I definitely understand your concerns.

@Noodles haven't had any problems with the upstate on my ps4, even in rest mode...hope it gets sorted mate

Cheers buddy. PlayStation were actually quite quick with responding to me on Twitter and offered some advice... unfortunately it didn't work. Hopefully the next update will magically fix it, but until then I'll just have to keep unplugging the console.

 

[Sixteenvolt420]

That stinks @Noodles. I haven't had any problems since the update. Hope it all gets sorted out for ya.

Sony didn't say to reformat back to factory?They us that to fix a lot of Software issues.

Sony didn't say to reformat back to factory?They us that to fix a lot of Software issues.

They didn't, surprisingly. They told me try the Rebuild Database option, and when that didn't work they just tried passing me on to someone else. I've now come across a few other people on Twitter who are experiencing the exact same thing, so at least I'm not the only one.
