One week ago, PlayStation 4 was announced in New York City in a presentation watched by more than 15 million people. We met the new DualShock 4 controller, soaked up some impressive hardware specs and services, and saw a barrage of upcoming PS4 games — from inFAMOUS: Second Son to Bungie’s new title Destiny.
During the presentation, Lead System Architect Mark Cerny remarked that PS4 was made “by game creators, for game creators.” To test that theory, we met with two of PlayStation’s top game creators, SCE Worldwide Studios President Shuhei Yoshida and SCE Worldwide Studios Senior Vice President Scott Rohde, to see which of PS4’s new features has them most inspired.
Awesome
I wish I could remember where I left my time machine.
The more I hear about PS4, the more excited I get for it. Can’t wait to hear more about it!
Thanks for this. Can’t wait to see where PS4 and the future of PlayStation is heading.
Just please don’t screw up this generation sony.
Definitely excited for the potential of the console. Hopefully, this means for fighting games the PS4 won’t have frame lag problems like the PS3 had compared to 360.
Can’t wait till E3! I’m ready to camp out for my PS4
borderlands 3 on the ps4 or vita
I think i saw Ready at Dawn and Ninja Theory talking about the ps4 on the ps4 conference, i hope that means an exclusive title from Ready at Dawn and Heavenly Sword: Nariko’s Resurrection, heck here is an idea sony why dont you guys bring Heavenly Sword to the vita first?
So if you can instantly share a video of something great that just happened in a game you were playing, that would mean the PS4 will constantly be saving and erasing the last X minutes of your gameplay… That is not good for hard drive longevity =(
oh and Mark Cerny and Matt Southern from evolution studios did a superb job when talking about their games.
Is google+ one of the social networks supported on the ps4?
Could you release some more information on backwards compatibility through Gaikai? Will we be able to stream all our PS1/PS2/PS3/PSN games through PS4? Will we be able to utilize our existing save files?
Will we need to pay more to stream digital content we already own? Will you offer a trade-in service so we can send in our discs and then be able to stream those games?
PS4 oh how I love thee! Can’t wait!
If Sony’s motto is “make.believe” then I think you’re in a unique position and hopefully mind set to bring a public SDK to the masses for the PS4.
Imagine doing with your new x86 based system what the iPhone did for smartphones back in 2007. You would open a world of opportunity and possibilities. A world that we all know Apple, Google and Microsoft are already working on.
But today you have the equipment, talent and attention of the public whether they’re a PS fan or not.
Time to recruit!
I hope SONY reconsiders and puts in Bluetooth 4.0 instead of 2.1
Also I hope PS4 takes advantage of SSD Hard Drives, and maybe latest HDMI where I can run VIDEO, AUDIO and ETHERNET on the same cable.
Pretty Please with Sugar on TOP.
Beyond!!! oh wait………
Black friday bundle ftw
PS4 + PSVita = No TV No Problem. Or still need TV?
If you have a Vita, you won’t need a TV if you only play single player PS4 games right? Like if you are in a room or place with no TV?
Will you allow the Vita to act as the screen for the PS4 locally? Even when some games don’t offer remote play. Local Play will be OK.
pliz include default key mapping of the PS4 controller to the Vita so all games have Remote Play even when devs don’t bother adding it
With the PS4 I am all about the new games and new franchises to come. I am so down for the return of infamous (been asking for it for so long) and knack is my second pick followed by watch_dogs. Not sure if I am going to jump with killzone since I still havent finished the trilogy (its still lieing on my shelf), but deep down and other third party games got me interested.
As always, I will always give my priorities to Playstation exclusives, its what I bought the system for and I want to play what it can only offer and nobody else can on the market.

Actually, it’s better that Sony stayed with Bluetooth 2.1. It’s something I wouldn’t be aware of, but a couple days back I read an article about PS4’s current confirmed hardware…..it may have been the Digital Foundry analysis in fact. They brought up that PS4 is using Bluetooth 2.1 instead of 3.0 or 4.0, and mentioned that they KNEW people would try and bash PS4 with that and ask why when there’s newer bluetooth out there. And they went on to explain that every Bluetooth upgrade beyond 2.1 is all stuff to do with smartphone interaction (or something like that, it was about a week ago I read this), and that the new bluetooth would only be a wasted drain on batteries, and that while they (3.0 and 4.0) are “faster” with phones, it would actually increase controller latency.
I’m not a tech guy, at least not on this subject, so the stuff about the bluetooth went in one ear and out the other aside from the conclusion that 2.1 is superior for gaming controllers. If you want accurate specifics go read the digital foundry article.
Fascinating. I wondered that too – thanks for sharing!
