Killzone Shadow Fall

We all are so excited about the release of Plastation 4. One of the most action game Killzone. Killzone Shadow Fall has been announced for PS4. This really an wonderful news for all the Killzone fans.

Guerrilla Games managing director Hermen Hulst confirmed that the studio is working a new entry in the flagship PlayStation FPS series for Sony's newly announced console.

Shadow Fall takes places in the near future, when mankind has colonised planets in search of resources, and a battle rages between two factions, the people of Helghan and the people of Vektar.
"This conflict is about much more than resources," Hulst said. "The Helghast are fighting for their right to exist, while the Vektars want to protect their way of life.

"The Helghast have evolved and claimed genetic superiority, they are brutal and relentless in pursuit of their so-called justice against the Vektars.

"The story draws parallels to Cold War Berlin, with two factions living side by side divided by a vast wall. This is a story about the loss of home, the search of new home, and the lengths to which people go to defend it."
 

Dualshock 4

Sony has revealed the PlayStation 4's new DualShock 4 controller, as well as the new, double-camera PlayStation 4 Eye peripheral announced during tonight's event.

Six-axis controls return in the DualShock 4, as do the familiar array of face/shoulder buttons and direction inputs. New additions to the unit include a PlayStation Vita-esque touch pad on the front of the device, which is capacitive and can register two points of contact at a time. The pad itself can also be clicked as a button, from the sound of the press release tucked away after the break. Start and Select buttons have had their functionality reassigned to a new "Options" button.

Meanwhile, a "Share" button allows the player to access the PlayStation 4's wealth of social options, which include live-streaming through services such as Ustream and the sharing of videos on social networks. Additionally, an LED "light bar" on top of the controller illuminates to communicate various information to players, such as a character's current health status, for instance.

That light bar also communicates with the PlayStation 4 Eye, the latest version of Sony's storied camera peripheral. This time around, the Eye features two cameras capable of a maximum resolution of 1280 x 800 each, in addition to a four-channel array of microphones. The cameras have the ability to "cut out the image of the player from the background, or to grasp players' position in front and behind," which sounds rather familiar if you ask us. Users can use the Eye to log into their PlayStation 4 via facial recognition, in addition to the PlayStation Move implementations you'd expect from the device point.

Playstation 4 Announcement

Deep down, Destiny, Kill-Zone, Dead or Alive, Final Fantasy, Knack, Watch dogs, Diablo III all the names of the most popular games of playstation. Playstation is the most powerful platform of Sony Computer entertainment. Sony has officially a announced Playstation 4, which will be available "holiday 2013".

The president and group CEO of  Sony Computer Entertainment Andrew House revealed the name of Sony's next-gen console at the Hammerstein Ballroom at Manhattan Center Studios in New York.

The executive said Sony's "most powerful platform ever" will allow "worlds to come alive with greater fidelity and intensity then ever before".

He also said that "ease of access regardless of location or device has been a priority" in the system's development". Our vision for the future is consumer centric and developer inspired," he added, stressing that Sony is keen to enable developers to utilize "new business models that enable more flexibility including episodic and free-to-play". 

It contains 8GB  of unified memory. PS4 houses a highly enhanced PC GPU containing 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.

It is also centered around a powerful custom chip that contains eight x86-64 cores and a state of the art graphics processor. You can find this out in full PS4 System Spaces. 


Dual Shock 4 the PS4 controller, which will include many of the recently rumored features. It will offer enhanced rumble and reduced latency, a touchpad, a headphone jack and a new Share button, which will allow players to record gameplay or screenshots and share them instantly. "Our goal is to make the sharing of video on PS4 as popular as the sharing of screenshots is today," he said. PS4 will also support cross-game chat. The new pad was developed in tandem with the next iteration of Sony's PS Eye camera, dubbed PlayStation 4 Eye. 

Sony also said PS4 radically reduces the lag time between players and their content. The system utilises a "suspend mode" which keeps the console in a low power state while preserving game sessions. "The time it takes today to boot a console and load a saved game will be a thing of the past," according to the platform holder.

Users will also be able to boot applications including a web browser when playing PS4 games, while the system will enable titles to be downloaded or updated in the background, or in stand-by mode. Digital titles will be playable while they're downloading too, with only a "fraction" of data required to start a session.
Dave Perry, founder of cloud gaming platform Gaikai, which Sony acquired for $380 million last year, was up next on stage. "What we're creating is the fastest, most powerful gaming network in the world," he said.
"With Gaikai and the PlayStation Store, you'll be able to instantly experience games for free [and only pay for the full experience if you want to]."

PlayStation cloud services will be rolled out in phases, with the ultimate goal being to give players access to all of their favourite PSone, PS2 and PS3 titles.
Perry said PS4 will let other players look over your shoulder virtually as you're playing and, if you allow them to, post comments directly to your screen. Friends will even be able to take over your controller virtually and help you complete a section you can't beat yourself.

Sony also said that Vita, along with iOS and Android devices, will be capable of acting as second screens for PS4. The new system will allow Vita users to "seamlessly pull PS4 titles from their living room TVs" and play them on the portable over Wi-Fi, while a PlayStation app will enable players to supplement their console gaming experience by - for example - displaying maps or inventory screens on supporting devices.

Guerrilla Games managing director Hermen Hulst was up next to announce Killzone Shadowfall, the next entry in PlayStation's flagship FPS series, for PS4 with a debut gameplay trailer.

Another new announcement was action platformer Knack, which is in development at Sony Japan Studio.

That was followed Sucker Punch's Infamous Second Son. The demo showed a heavily-militarised city where citizens are closely monitored. However, people have started developing superpowers and revolting against big brother. There was no sign of series protagonist Cole.

Braid creator Jonathan Blow also came on stage to announce that open world puzzle game The Witness will launch on PS4 as a timed exclusive.

MotorStorm developer Evolution Studios then unveiled Drive Club for PS4. The next-gen racer will focus on team-based online racing and will link to a companion app on smartphones and tablets, allowing players to have "24/7 untethered access to their club".

Sony told us it's planning for Killzone Shadow Fall and Drive Club to be PS4 launch games later this year.
Street Fighter producer Yoshinori Ono appeared on stage to demo Capcom's new engine, Panta Rhei, which is being used to develop a new IP for PS4 called Deep Down.

Meanwhile, Final Fantasy brand director Shinji Hashimoto said Square Enix is developing a new entry in the series for PS4 using its next-gen Luminous engine, which it plans to show off at this year's E3 in June.
Blizzard's senior vice president of story and franchise development then revealed that Diablo 3 will launch on PS3 and PS4, with more details to be revealed in the coming months.

Bungie also offered a brief glimpse of Destiny, which will launch on PS3 and PS4 as well as other consoles, before confirming that the studio will be developing unspecified PlayStation exclusive content for the shooter.
Ubisoft showed off a new Watch Dogs gameplay demo and confirmed that the title will be available for PS4 at launch.
