Sony sheds more light on the PS4

After watching the debacle that was the fans reaction to the Xbox One (Xbone), Sony, via PlayStationAccess, is answering ten of fans’ biggest questions.


Fans weighed in with their questions, and the YouTube channel PlayStationAccess, an official UK-based news channel for all things PlayStation, has taken it upon themselves to answer.

Of course, one of the biggest questions burning in fans minds is just now much room they should make for the eraser-shaped console. That was highlighted briefly in the video with a PS3 set on the table for comparison, but a full PS3 to PS4 one was made as its own video. In it you can see that despite its shape, the PS4 is overall a lot smaller than its predecessor’s launch model. A minor difference pointed out in the later video: the PS4′s launch color will be Jet Black, whereas the PS3′s was Piano Black.



Other questions fans asked included whether or not the DualShock3 controller would be compatible at all with the sytsem. Unfortunately it will not be, but don’t sell all your controllers just yet: the PlayStation Move will be compatible with the system. Speaking of compatible, PSN accounts, avatar and all, will carry over to the PS4 and you will be able to customize how much personal information is made public. You will be able to keep up to 2000 friends notified of what you’re up to with PartyChat as it makes a return from the PS Vita.

The Xross Media Bar will also be changing to the new PlayStation Dynamic Menu, which will be customizable in terms of layout and other previous Xross Media features.

As you may have noticed, the PlayStation Camera is making a return with the added benefit of AR and a slew of upgrades. It will have 3D depth and utilize the DualShock4 controller to bring out the full potential of the PlayRoom app. It also now includes four microphones to make not only sound input, but output, a possibility.

Speaking of 3D, they do have plans in the future to make 3D games available on the console. As far as paying to go online is concerned, they have made it clear that you will only need the PSPlus account to play multiplayer online. You will not need it to access free to play games, Netflix, or single player mode.
