Immediate Gameplay PS4 radically reduces the lag time between players and their content. PS4 features “suspend mode” which keeps the system in a low power state while preserving the game session. The time it takes today to boot a console and load a saved game will be a thing of the past. With PS4, gamers just hit the power button again and are promptly back playing the game at the exact point where they left off. Additionally, users can boot a variety of applications including a web browser when playing a game on PS4. PS4 also enables games to be downloaded or updated in the background, or even in stand-by mode. The system takes it one step further by making digital titles playable as they are being downloaded. When a player purchases a game, PS4 downloads just a fraction of the data so gamers can start playing immediately, and the rest is downloaded in the background during actual gameplay.

DUALSHOCK®4 features a light bar on the top with three color LEDs that illuminate in various colors. The light bar illuminates to match the color of characters in a game to offer a simpler, more friendly way to identify players, even when playing side by side. The light bar also changes patterns during gameplay to provide useful information to gamers, such as when a character is critically low on health or has taken major damage.

Combined with the Mono Headset that will be bundled with PS4, gamers will also be able to chat with friends playing online, while hearing sound effects from the controller in hand.

[PsychoWARD23]

Interesting.

[Wario64]

Some key info I found interesting:

Left/Right analog sticks improved as well as triggers

Face Recognition login

Recharge controller in stand by mode

Light bar gives information like health indicator warning

[metalslimer]

So where is the actual console

[gofreak]

The camera has a nice big field of view. Up to 240fps at the lowest res, 60fps @ 1280x800.

Headset in the box too, it says.

[Impeccable]

So where is the actual console

Probably not finalized.

[Quasar]

Only Bluetooth 2.1? That's a bit of a surprise.

[schennmu]

This should be the final confirmation for the 8gig GDDR5. Mark Rein sounded pretty excited as well.

[duckroll]

So where is the actual console

Probably looks literally like a PC currently in dev kit form.

[Noirulus]

Interesting stuff. I wonder what the clock-speed for the processor is?

[Barakov]

Some key info I found interesting: Left/Right analog sticks improved as well as triggers Face Recognition login Control DS4 on stand by node Light bar gives information like health indicator warning

Hopefully, the the sticks are tighter than they were on the dualshock 3

[ASTROID2]

Is this a controller add-on or new console?

lol

Lots of ram.

[VashTS]

You forgot document B, op.

Paging jeff_rigby for hilarity...

240fps there it is.

[sersteven]

Really tired of the "wheres the console" remarks already.

Only thing I even wanted to hear was pricing. All that will be e3 I'm sure

[darkwing]

240fps there it is.

Pachter was right!!!

[Globox_82]

So where is the actual console

It's February. Chill. I see MS dude pulling that stuff on twitter, I guess bitterness

[Necron]

Very interesting. I'm glad that they continued with numbering their consoles.

It's a shame they didn't show the console... then again, it's probably not finalized yet.

Something to look forward to at E3.

[madmaxx350]

so it's not only 4 cus for compute but all of them can be used for graphics and physics and stuff, pretty cool.

The GPU contains a unified array of 18 compute units, which collectively generate 1.84 Teraflops of processing power that can freely be applied to graphics, simulation tasks, or some mixture of the two.

oh headset included?

Combined with the Mono Headset that will be bundled with PS4, gamers will also be able to chat with friends playing online, while hearing sound effects from the controller in hand.

[Kyoufu]

Dat RAM.

8GB GDDR5 is insane.

[Fried Food]

Ethernet and optical?! Sony knows what's up

[Durante]

The camera has a nice big field of view. Up to 240fps at the lowest res

Excited. Hope we'll get PC drivrs somehow.

[mysteriousmage09]

So where is the actual console

E3 in 4 months.

[Globox_82]

So PS4 has 8GB of unified GDDR5 Ram? that is insane if true

[bearythebear]

So, Playstation 4Eye = Kinect? Weird, they didn't even talk about it.

[toddhunter]

So where is the actual console

Remember they still need to sell PS3s and Vitas as best they can for the better part of a year.

Keeping it all a bit "up in the air" is a good move at this stage rather than "here it is you can't have it"

[Meisadragon]

You can add this in the OP.

[KojiKnight]

So we know the specs, any super tech-heads going to start crunching numbers to give an estimate? I can't imagine 8GB of GGDR5 coming cheap...

[maquiladora]

So where is the actual console

Yeah, because the meaningless shell surrounding the hardware is the most important thing, right?

smh...

[demosthenes]

So where is the actual console

E3.

[Tagg9]

In addition, DUALSHOCK®4 will come with a built-in speaker and stereo headset jack, enabling PS4 users to enjoy high-fidelity sound effects of games from both the TV and also from the controller. Combined with the Mono Headset that will be bundled with PS4, gamers will also be able to chat with friends playing online, while hearing sound effects from the controller in hand.

[Leviathin25]

Nintendo should learn from this.

[Slayer-33]

Pandaren nuts insane man

[jschreier]

Well, hey! Maybe it's time to stop with the "ban Kotaku" posts. http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=509625

[NBtoaster]

iPad, Iphone, android devices can act as second screens for the console, for maps etc. wow.

[kuroshiki]

I'm seriously eating crow here.

I thought there was no way they were going for 8gb GDDR5.

[Carl]

Next Gen is here.

[ZoddGutts]

Headset being included is also pretty big news.

[Maedhros]

Does it have some new component which makes the remote play better, like Nintendo Wii U does?

[Dan]

Recharge controller in stand by mode

Good. It was very unfortunate that the PS3 couldn't do this.

[JeFfRey]

Oh, a headset will be bundled with the console. Neat.

[Globox_82]

Pandaren nuts insane man

I like how everyone is ignoring it, instead they asked for plastic that surounds console LMAO. Just two months ago most of gaffers were expecting 2GB of GDDR5, now 8 = who gives a shit, where is plastic! hhaha

[Wario64]

Ban NeoGAF

[ironcreed]

It's going to be a beast of a console. Don't see how anyone interested in games could be let down. It's just February they showed a lot for just a reveal. The stage for the rest of the year is set.

[Durante]

Good on Sony for including optical, gigabit ethernet and USB3. I love me some ports.

Does it have some new component which makes the remote play better, like Nintendo Wii U does?

They did mention dedicated encoding hardware during the presentation.

[twinturbo2]

Hopefully, the the sticks are tighter than they were on the dualshock 3

As I said previously, I thought the loose analogs made Metal Gear easier to play. Push forward a little bit to sneak. I liked that.

[ShinobiFist]

That RAM. Curious how involved Japan was on this system.

[brochiller]

Still goes through by the cloud by the sounds of it.
