New PS4 Details Revealed

-




Sony have revealed new PS4 details at a GDC panel.


1) The 64-bit x86 CPU provides low power consumption and heat.

The 8 cores each have a single hardware thread and separate 32kb L1 instruction and data caches with a shared 2mb L2 cache.

Multithreading support is made easier with hardware support for atomic operations.

The CPU will have an extended DirectX 11.1+ feature set that includes extra debugging support not available on the PC and will allow developers more direct access to the shader pipeline than on the PS3.


2) The Blu-Ray drive will be up to 3x faster than the one in the PS3


3) Every console will come with a "very large" hard drive


4) Every console will come with a headset


5) The PS4 will record everything by default, requiring no extra work by developers

Fro My Lord....... Lego The Hobbit PS4 has Inverted Camera!

-

For years gamers like myself have had to forgo the open world Lego games. A simple omission in the control set-up alienated what must be 50% of gamers in the newer open world parts of Lego games. Inverted Y-axis is common in most game but TT Games has never put it in the console games, strange as the Vita version of Lego LOTR had Inverted options. Good news, TT Games have listened to the masses. A patch for the PS4 version was prompted on start up of the game. It's unclear if the option was added later. I must point out that the option to invert does not show until you start the story. I can't comment on any other version of the game so please post up in the comments if you own the PS3 or Vita version. It's worth pointing out that Lego The Hobbit looks stunning on PS4 and runs in full HD (1080p).

Sony are going to roll out an over-the-air update for the following lucky TV owners. The A1, XE93, XE94 and ZD9 are the first in line to get the exciting new update.

Dolby Vision ensures the brightness and colours look the same on a supported 4K TV in your living room as they do on a state-of-the-art high-resolution projector screen in your local cinema. More details are due from Sony next month.
