Sony hosted a PS4 event in Hong Kong were it showed off the PS4’s features including more footage of the PS4’s Dynamic Menu, multi-user sign-in, the PS4 camera and The PlayRoom app. The video, shot by MemeHK, is just under 30 minutes long and includes some new UI footage and a Q&A session.

A new trailer for PS4 launch title Knack has been released, showing gameplay from the game’s co-op mode. The co-op mode supports the second screen function letting you use a PS Vita to control one of the two characters on screen. A second player can drop in or drop out at any time, and controls Knack’s shiny metallic helper called Robo Knack, either with a second DualShock controller or using Remote Play on the PS Vita.
A new video has emerged showing PS4 launch title Killzone: Shadow Fall being played on the PS Vita using Remote Play. The downside is that the video is very short – only 14 seconds – and very poor quality. Like Knack, the display for Killzone is simply replicated on the PS Vita, allowing someone to watch you play on the TV, even if you’re using Remote Play in another room.
New Japanese footage of the PS4 has appeared from an unknown event showing how the PS4’s Interface works, including multitasking and Remote Play. The video shows how seamless it is switching between a game (in this case, Knack) and the web browser (or another application).
