Today's announcement will strengthen portfolio Playstation - And in the software and hardware. The future of gaming - for the same impressions anywhere. The gamer becomes the main - goal of the company to provide excellent multimedia features and gameplay anywhere. Development PS Vita in 2013 - an important part of this strategy. The company wanted to change the industry, but consumers themselves want change.

"There is a need emergence of a new console. Today you see the future of gaming." Simple, but at the same time a powerful console having a plurality of social functions, will allow the famous franchises to become even better. This is the main idea of ​​the new console - Playstation 4.

This - a shift from the console as a device as a service, which gives a new level of emotion for players and new business models for developers. At the scene, Mark invited Senri responsible for development PS4. It is curious that in the architecture of the console meets the American, not the Japanese.

Cerny says the console as a multimedia device, starting with the PS3 - If PSOne and PS2 devices were strictly for play, the PS3 It began the process of expanding the functional, but faced with certain limitations when attempting to add support for popular platforms.

"When you meet the changing trends in technology innovation." The company wanted to eliminate all obstacles that separate you from the content, and discuss what should be a novelty with dozens razrabotchikamov - by itself, without disclosing details of its new products. "PS4 - The platform from the creators of games for game makers. "

The architecture is similar to the PC - X86 CPU, customized GPU, similar to those used in computers and 8 gigabytes of RAM. This configuration allows you to create amazing projects from day one console and have a huge potential for development.
It's a demonstration - it all starts with the new controller, Dualshock 4.

It is similar to photos leaked to the network, but differs in many respects.Processed triggers and reduce the delay between pressing the buttons and the reaction of the system should improve the management, the touch panel and the "Share" and the luminous band of yet unknown purpose will provide new opportunities. And finally, Sony It confirmed a new accessory - chamber PS4Which, apparently, it is an update PS Eye.

It's time to look at the games in development. The new project from Japan Studio - Knack It tells the story of a robot, and is made in the style of animation. However, we are not told the details of the project, showing only the first trailer.

The new OS is built around five principles. First - intuitive. II - operations must be instantaneous.The new hardware makes the operating system more quickly - for example, to replace the complete shutdown comes hibernate, and updates can be pumped into the background. Another interesting feature - when downloading games from the online store you can start to pass them, without waiting for a full load.

The third - the system must be simple. Sony completely redesigned interface. The "Share" allows you to choose a short excerpt of your last game, and instantly upload it to social networking. You can also follow the game online for their friends, and even offer help if something goes wrong, taking control in their hands.

Fourth, it is the integration. The company has developed new applications for mobile devices, allowing you to stay in the ecosystem Playstation anywhere. And finally, the fifth - personalization.
