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.

For anyone that had to send their PS4 console back to Sony because of blinking blue light of death, how quick was your turn-around for a new console? They received my console early in the AM yesterday, and I still have no confirmation that they sent out my new console. They PROMISED I'd get a new one by Thanksgiving, but that is looking kinda dim with no tracking info as of yet. This is going on a week for what they determined as a 3 day turn-around... what a joke. Sony should have been prepared for launch.

Sorry to hear that you're going through this. Hopefully you'll get your replacement real soon.

Finished Killzone SF and popped in Assasins Creed IV. My PS4 was super quiet with Killzone but it sounds like a buzzing mad machine with Assasins Creed. Anyone else notice this with Assasins Creed IV? This was upon installation and loading of the game. Now I'm playing it for a few secs and it's quiet again.

Only during installation. I noticed that the game started and while it was installing there was some noise, but it went away once everything was done.

I Need your help! I have a really hard decision to make. I could either pick up the PS4 on the 29th when it gets released in Germany or i could wait until the 7th December and get it with a 30% Discount. A friend who has worked in the shop where i want to buy it for 10 years on the 7th gets the Discount on that day for his Anniversary. I really can´t decide what to do. Get it on release or wait one more week and get it 120€ cheaper.

I really can´t make up my mind so what would you do? Thanks for your answers!

 

[cooey]

I'd wait the extra week and get the discount

 

[adrenaline78]

Yeah.. no reason NOT to wait.

 

[DJHilalo]

Hell I'd wait until next year and get it 120 euros cheaper if I have to hehe

No need to rush man, all the good games will be out next year any way

 

[cooey]

Yeah, if I had the chance to save the best part of £100 I'd happily wait

 

[DJHilalo]

I was well chuffed saving about £20 off retail haha, now imagine £100 WOW!! lol

 

[Zero]

OK Thanks for the answers guys! You are totally right! I was just to cought up in the hype! Thanks to you i was able to make up my mind now. I´ll be patient and wait that extra week. Thanks for all the answers!
