Sony unveils its next game console, the PlayStation 4 https://bowline.co.za/gadgetblog/2013/02/21/sony-unveils-its-next-game-console-the-playstation-4/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=sony-unveils-its-next-game-console-the-playstation-4 https://bowline.co.za/gadgetblog/2013/02/21/sony-unveils-its-next-game-console-the-playstation-4/#comments Thu, 21 Feb 2013 11:39:34 +0000 https://bowline.co.za/gadgetblog/?p=4160 Continue reading ]]> Sony announced the imminent arrival of the PlayStation 4 yesterday. The CEO, Andrew House unveiled the logo and concept at a launch event with the promise that it would be arriving this year.

Mark Cerny, creator of Marble Madness said that the development of PS4 began 5 years ago and that they have been aiming to ensure that “nothing gets between the platform and the game”. The new console is reputed to have multitasking ability as well as ease of use.

PS4 runs on x86 architecture, a “highly enhanced” PC GPU (wish “almost 2 teraflops of performance”), and 8GB of GDDR5 memory. The PS4 can pause and resume mid-game on a system level, which allows players to multitask. A second chip is dedicated to managing uploads and downloads, so you can download games in the background while playing another game. The PS4 is heavy on social interactivity and sounds as though Sony is aiming to have a Pinterest like social aspect for friends to share screens and video, making it really personalized.

In addition to this, they are working on a game streaming service, “PlayStation Cloud” which will allow players to try any game instantly without having to download a file to do so. This service will have so much more functionality which will extend to Vita, and mobile devices as well. The service will roll out in phases so there is a whole lot more to look out for from Sony this year. Watch this space to keep up to date with the latest in gaming!

We are joining Vday, one billion rising globally against abuse. Our event is at http://onebillionrising.org/page/event/detail/w8g where people can confirm their attendance. The Tears website is at www.tears.co.za.

We aim to get people that cannot be there on the day to support the cause by wearing blue to represent of the Teardrop logo and the efforts of Tears. We hope to prompt both companies and the public to wear blue on the day. We will be in contact with the media to notify them of the companies that will register a Tears / Company closed event with their staff wearing blue on the 14th to create maximum impact. We hope to have the event covered by the Sowetan, the BBC, Primedia and other interested parties.

We ask for your utmost support in this matter as the rage of woman and students in India is at a all time high. Vday are raising awareness globally whilst South African statistics are far greater than all other countries in the world.
