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.
The PS4 launches in North America later this week, and to celebrate, Sony has released an official PS4 unboxing video with a bit of a twist. As previously announced, launch day consoles will include special vouchers giving gamers access $10 of PSN Credit, 30 days of PlayStation Plus and a 30 day trial of Music Unlimited.
Sony has revealed the gamers who pick up the PS4 on launch day will be getting some special promotional voucher in the box. The console launches at midnight on November 15th, and in the box you’ll find vouchers to try out Sony’s wide range of entertainment services, including PlayStation Plus and Music Unlimited.
The PS4 launch is set to be one of the biggest launches in PlayStation History, especially if these photos are anything to go by. Photos are being released from retails stores and warehouses in North America showing just how many units are being prepared for the November 15th launch.
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.
Sony has revealed that 11 entertainment apps will be available for the PlayStation 4 in North America from day one, including Netflix, Amazon Instant Video, Hulu Plus and more. These services and others will be available to download on the console from November 15th in North America. It still remains to be seen which services will be available in Europe.
The PS4 Mega Bundle, featuring the PS4, Killzone: Shadow Fall, an extra DualShock 4 controller and the PS4 Camera has been delayed in a number of European territories, it has emerged. The bundle will be delayed by two weeks in a number of countries, but is still scheduled for release in the UK on November 29th 2013.
Everyone has already seen the outside of the PS4, but until now, no one except those at Sony have seen the inside of the PS4, and how everything fits together. Wired have released the first exclusive pictures of what’s inside the PS4, as well as a lengthy analysis of the architecture – well worth a read.
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).
