The DualShock 4 has several new features:
-
A built-in two-point capacitative touch pad on the front of the controller, which is clickable. Supports motion detection via a three-axis gyroscope and three-axis accelerometer and improved vibration. The joysticks and triggers have been redesigned based on developer input. The joysticks now will feature a concave surface and the D-Pad is akin to the Vita's.
-
A light bar that can display different colours. The colours will help identify players and alert them with critical messages such as low health. It also will interact with a camera attachment that perceives movement and depth by using the controller's light bar - PlayStation Move controllers are also supported
-
Two new buttons: Share, allowing the user to stream live gameplay to Twitch, upload screenshots to Twitter, and upload up to 15 minutes of gameplay to social networking sites. Options button merges Start and Select.

I hope GAME announce the cost of their exclusive DRIVRCLUB and Killzone bundle. Hope its not too expensive. Might wait and see if they have any other bundles.
Placeholders?
Mistakes?
Sneaky increase?
I seen it on Sony's press release for £45, but every retailer has it at £55 so I just put that! Not sure what's going on with the camera pricing, might get one down the line when they are sub £30.
Trying to get Hitman Absolution completed and buy The last of us before GTA V comes out.
So in some ways I am glad the PS4 release date is as late as it is.
I was the same. I'm glad it's not October so I wont rush GTA V. I'm not selling my PS3 but as soon as the PS4 is out I know i'll relegate it and GTA V for the new games. I will probably double dip if there is a next-gen version next year.
You keeping the PS3 then, first person I have heard say this so many of my mates have said they are selling theirs and I just think with the lack of backward compatibility then you might as well keep hold of it for a while. I suppose this is the curse of keeping hold of games, they become unusable when the next gen arrives
I'm keeping mine. I'll use it as a media device for the blu-ray player, netlfix and on-demand for my bedroom. I think I'll still play GTA V after the PS4 launch. PS+ will still give me PS3 games in my subscription so I might pick up some of those!
The PS4 not playing PS3 games in the drive is a massive negative to me, I mean GTA V is going to be feel new and fresh for ages after its release if its anything like the hype that has been built up so far, most of the PS4 games I've seen are only about as exciting as the average PS3 release.
I went out my way to get a PS3 60 GB so I could still play PS2 disc games.
and my mrs is due to have a kid on the 27th, so all being well baby is here before my ps4 turns up and ill be on paternity leave for 2 weeks so plenty of time to play
Now that is how to plan a baby.
Congrats.
BUT, Does your Mrs no about this plan of yours lol
She probably does know, but will say no once she has a baby to look after.
i work alot, she lets me have my little toys (as she calls them) for my downtime. perfect marriage really
Also is there any info out there about the room size needed for the camera, and are any games making use of it?
The bundle features: The console, Killzone: Shadow Fall, a second DualShock 4 controller and the PlayStation Camera for €499, which equates to around £430 the same price as an Xbox One.
Boxart is really slick as well.
Im jealous lol
Upgrade price won't be announced for a few weeks yet.
