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.

I was always under the impression that games were out on the 12th, no? amazon shipped my games today and they are scheduled for delivery tomorrow.

Yeah, they shipped mine as well. I think i read somewhere that Sony removed the street dates for some of the games.

 

[darczap]

Got 3 games from Target. They weren't out on the floor and they would only sell me the ones with today's street date, so I got Call Of Duty Ghosts, battlefield 4, and Assassins Creed and got an extra $10 off

 

[adrenaline78]

ALL the launch games should be available NOW at Target! If they have them. I haven't seen the Lego game or NFS rivals yet.

Communication went out and the "friday street date games" were not actually street dated and can be bought at any time.

 

[taylorlarose]

I just picked up my pre-ordered copy of Killzone Shadow Fall, but I didn't get the Shadow Pack, is it done digitally when you put the game in for the first time?

The ad is confusing because it says that some of these games are available Friday. The Target I went to today was really confused because they told me that the only game they were allowed to put out was Call of Duty. I told them the ad shows that some games are available today. He brought out Assassins Creed, Madden, Just Dance, Battlefield, and FIFA. In any case, I may have wanted Need for Speed, but I'm happy with the ones I got (plus $10 off was the icing on the cake )

Yep, but there was communication from corp that said to put em all out on Tuesday, but they could put Killzone, NBA 2k, and Knack out even earlier if they wanted. Apparently your store doesn't read such communication. Or they can't read at all.

 

[Sixteenvolt420]

Awaiting the arrival of my PS4 on Friday:

I just picked up my pre-ordered copy of Killzone Shadow Fall, but I didn't get the Shadow Pack, is it done digitally when you put the game in for the first time?

I bought mine from Amazon, and they e-mailed me my code last night.

 

[adrenaline78]

I'm getting NBA for sure. I'm thinking I might take a shot at Killzone. Hope my store gets the NFS or the lego game by the time I get there tonight.

 

[rawrosaur12345]

My first next gen game, love amazon prime. So pumped for the release! Also got NBA 2K14 on the way and Killzone coming with the PS4 bundle.

 

[Wreck]

I have the Ghosts ps4 steel.
