PS4 - Μέρα Δεύτερη

Μία μέρα έχει περάσει από την ανακοίνωση του PlayStation 4 και περισσότερες πληροφορίες έρχονται στο φως. Έκατσα και κατέγραψα όλες τις επιβεβαιωμένες πληροφορίες που προέκυψαν και δεν αναφέρονται στη δίωρη συνέντευξη τύπου.


  • Πρώτο και κύριο θα παίζει κανονικά μεταχειρισμένα παιχνίδια, ένα "ουφ" διαφαίνεται στην αγορά...
  • H Κονσόλα απαρτίζεται από 5 πυλώνες:
    - Απλότητα
    - Αμεσότητα
    - Κοινωνικότητα
    - Ενσωμάτωση
    - Εξατομίκευση
  • Η κυκλοφορία του στην Ευρώπη για φέτος είναι αμφίβολη, πράγμα που συνέβει και με το PS3:
    Japan: 11th November 2006
    North America: 17th November 2006
    Europe: 16th March 2007
  • Στα χαρτιά της η Sony δεν χρησιμοποιεί το ακρωνύμιο SEN αλλά το PSN!
  • H 8 γίγα ενοποιημένη RAM με προβληματίζει, καθ'ότι η GDDR5 είναι πανάκριβη.
  • Το Remote Play γίνεται πλέων App και εκτός του PS Vita θα διατεθεί για iOS και Android, και Όλα τα παιχνίδια του PS4 θα είναι Streamable μέσω WiFi, κάτι που στη παρούσα φάση ΔΕΝ μπορεί να κάνει ούτε το Wii U.
  • Οτιδήποτε θα φαίνεται στο PlayStation Store θα είναι διαθέσιμο για δοκιμή (!!!)
  • Το σύστημα θα φέρει άγνωστο αριθμό USB 3.0
  • H Sony δεν έδειξε το σύστημα... γιατί ακόμα δεν έχει ολοκληρωθεί.
  • To touchpad είναι Capacitive δύο σημείων και Clickable.
  • Θα υιοθετεί μοντέλο συνδρομής, αλλά τι θα γίνει με το PS Plus δεν είναι γνωστό
  • Τα αγορασμένα παιχνίδια από το PSN όπως και τα αποθηκευμένα Saves ΔΕΝ θα είναι συμβατά.
  • Η ανάλυση 4Κ θα είναι διαθέσιμη μόνο για ταινίες, τα παιχνίδια θα τρέχουν σε native 1080p
  • Δεν υποστιρίζει χειριστήρια Dual Shock 3
  • Το χειριστήριο θα μπορεί να φορτίζει ενώσω η κονσόλα είναι Standby

Warner Bros – Expected to announce a new Batman game shortly.
Wayforward Technologies – Employs possibly the most accomplished sprite artists in the industry. Think Bloodrayne: Betrayal and A Boy and his Blob, as well as Silent Hill: Book of Memories. Has a couple of unrevealed projects on the go.
Yager – Rose to prominence last year with the interatingly bold Spec Ops: the Line.
Yuke’s – WWE developer recently embraced by 2K after THQ’s collapse. Likely working on a wrestling title for next-gen.

 Έχουμε επίσης συνεχής έμφαση ότι το νέο PlayStation είναι ένα "ενισχυμένο" PC, κάτι που το προμοτάρει ως θετικό για την ανάπτυξη παιχνιδιών, αλλά η αγορά έχει άλλες απόψεις αν αναλογιστεί τη σειρά VAIO...

Ας μη ξεχνάμε ότι κατά το λανσάρισμα του PS3 πάλι η Sony το πλάσαρε ως "PC" με βύσμα τροφοδοσίας PSU από PC και τη λειτουργία Other OS όπου ο χρήστης μπορούσε να εγκαταστήσει Linux. Βέβαια αργότερα μάθαμε ότι ήταν εν μέρη μαρκετίστικο κόλπο διότι στην παγκόσμια αγορά η διαφορά φορολογίας μεταξύ PC και Κονσόλας είναι μεγάλη.

Με την πάροδο των ετών η κονσόλα μετασχηματίστηκε σε κανονική κονσόλα αλλάζοντας το βύσμα τροφοδοσίας σε κλασικό οκταράκι και χάνοντας τη δυνατότητα OTHER OS

Ξεχνάμε και την λειτουργική XMB με νέο μενού:

Όλα τα ανακοινωθέν παιχνίδια:


Και κάτι πολύ σημαντικό για το τέλος, η κονσόλα δε θα χρειάζεται να είναι πάντα Online διότι υπήρχε αυτός ο φόβος, παρ΄όλα αυτά, σε περίπτωση που η κονσόλα είναι πλήρως συνδεδεμένη όταν είναι σβηστεί υπάρχει ένα υποσύστημα πάντα Active και Online για τα Updates αλλά και μέσο για να ξυπνήσει η κονσόλα από ένα PS Vita ή Smartphone.

Κλείνοντας είπα να ενσωματώσω την πλήρη Press Conference αλλά από το να δείτε 2 ώρες μπλα μπλά αυτό το τρίλεπτο είναι η καλύτερη σούμα!
