(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Straight from GDC, so its all confirmed!

-PS4 Friend Limit raised (no figure announced)

-Have the ability to enable people seeing your real name on the PS4. Auto-enabled if you import from another social network. (Can be turned off)

-All the PS4 streaming and sharing: that's on the hardware. Devs don't have to do anything special to their game

-PS4 Remote Play: Screens are mirrored on PS4/Vita (Both on at same time). Hardware does it, not devs. Start at any time; no special mode.

-About the PlayStation App. Login, buy game, PS4 starts downloading at home, you get home and start playing the part that's downloaded.

-PS4 will also charge controllers when it's off

-PS4 Controller colors are the Player Numbers: 1-Blue, 2-Red, 3-Green, 4-Pink (Like the symbol buttons)

-Camera has a dedicated port for the PS4 so it won't take up a USB port.

-User Interface gives you at a glance info about a game without loading it. See new DLC out, what friends are saying etc

- Core gamers are the primary focus. PS4 built around them.

- CPU: 64-bit x86 arch, low power consumption, low heat, 8 cores, 8 HW threads, 2MiB L2 cache per 4 core group, 32kib l1 I/D-cache

- PlayStation Shader Language, very similar to HLSL, allows featured BEYOND Direct X 11 and OpenGL 4.0

- GPU – Tessellation – adding geometric detail to smooth edges or create more organic shapes

- RAM – 8GB 256 bit GDDR5 (GDDR5 is very high end graphics memory only found on PC graphics cards)

- PS4 will have a “very large hard drive in every console.

- Debug your PS4 code as you would your PC code

- Speaker, headset jack and “extension port” on the PS4 controller

- Controller buttons are going back to digital over analog because no one used it on PS3

- PS4 Controller: 1920x900 resolution on the analog touchpad

- PS4 controller light bar can be used for muzzle flashes, health bars, etc.

- The PS4 Eye will enhance the PS4 user experience.” High sensitivity dual color cameras – 1280x800, 12 bits/pixel, 60Hz

3) Meh... Hopefully it is not required... I hate that feature on 360.

4) What? --NVM FIGURED IT OUT

Otherwise seems like a lot of good news... I'm really geeked over the PS App downloading games on ps4 while your gone!

However they'll always have the little fanboys getting their parents buying one because of COD

i think xbox are going to try win people over that tv tuner thing (asif you will need it lol your paying for online most who do that already have paid tv subscriptions), i think they are going to try go go down the media hub route like the ps3 has.

both companies are taking things from each others generations and putting it into their own. its just how good the companies advertise that gets the sales as you can tell from microsoft spamming the tv ads up to sell that rubbish console.

im very egar to see what microsoft has to offer maybe it'll be better maybe it wont only time will tell!
