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.

4 New Dualshock 4 Colours for Japan (which will eventually make their West)

Also new HDD Cover Plates - yellow, gold, pink, light blue, red and purple

More info - http://www.engadget.com/2015/09/15/sony-new-dualshock-4-controllers-color-plates/


The Crystal one reminds me of my old PS1 controller (which I still have lol)

Silver is the same as the Dragon Quest Slime Edition PS4, and Steel Black looks similar to the Metal Gear Solid V controller (just without the decal and red arrows)

 

[icharlie17]

Does the ps4 have a time tracking feature? I mean is there any way to ser how many hours have I played a game of mine? Love this feature on Steam and on my 3DS

I'm really liking the Steel Black one.

As far as I know, the PS4 doesn't have that feature unfortunately. I'm sure there are sites out there which can tell you all that sort of info though... I used one for the PS3 a while back, but I forget what the site was now.

Steel Black one does look nice, but if its anything like my Silver one then it's painted and the paint can wear off quite easily

@icharlie17 There are sites which track time played for some games, just need to poke around google. http://wastedondestiny.com/ will tell you hours on Destiny played

 

[icharlie17]

that's nice but not what I was hoping for. Almost all platforms have time tracking these days. Maybe we will get that at some time via update. At least I hope so :/

I think Playfire might do it, but so far no official method. The data is there locked away in your profile so it could done via an update

Really? That's pretty crap then. I'd expect better from an official Sony item. Doubt I'd ever get one anyway... the standard controllers are pricey enough as it is, so I'd hate to imagine how much these will retail at in the UK.

Yea my Silver controller (which amazon refunded me £70 on my PS4 bundle) after less than a month some of the paint had worn away and you could see the darker plastic beneath it. I have since bought a red PS4 controller from Gamestop for £34 and that seems to be fine.

It's a shame as the metallic controllers do look nice, maybe this new wave will have a coating to protect the paint or something

I want one of those face plates!

Will we be able to change the face plate on the standard ps4?

As far as I know the HDD coverplate is the same in all versions so yea the new ones should fit

I tried a lot but nothing worked out. This is new to me, I'll try it right now! Thank you Sir

Edit: @Noodles My problem is different to them. My drive don't make any noise anymore. The problem the folk got is software related I think, my seems like the whole drive is dead. No sound nothing. It updates now via the idea of your link. But I think it should only work with software related problems

Sony gives only 1 year warranty. It's a release day console. Pre-ordered it at Saturn one week before release and copped it 2 days after.
German retailers needs to give 2 years warranty so I need to bring it back to Saturn. But they're a picky with what they repair on their cost or not. The PS4 will be gone some weeks now
