Well all the waiting is now over and we have a clear view of what sony has instore for the gaming community and it looks good.
So i am just going to touch on a few things that happened during last nights unveiling.
Straight off the bat was the unveiling of the Dual Shock 4 by Mark Cerny which for me was a great moment as the pad looks like a very elegant adaptation of the iconic calling card that is Dual Shock, with its touch pad and light bar additions helping to a more interactive and immersing gaming experience.
The central processing of the machine which includes as stated, Supercharged PC Architecture, X86 CPU, Enhanced PC GPU, 8GB Unified Memory, and finally Local storage HDD,
looks amazing and can now offer a exponentially increased platform for developers to work with and who are practically now only governed by their ideas to what they can produce in future projects.
We also see the innovation offered to us via the minds of Gaikai with the option of sharing, spectating and immersing yourself in your friends gaming experience to the extent of even jumping in and taking control of a friends game if they get stuck,
Along with other features such as improved remote play options via the PS Vita which youll be able to use as a second screen if someone wants to watch the TV much like what nintendo offer with the Wii U and with future plans of eventually being able to play PS1, PS2 and PS3.
New games were offered up such as Knack, The Witness, inFamous second son, Drive Club and the unsurprising unveiling of KillZone: Shadowfall which brings me to the game i personally have been waiting for which is of course Watch Dogs this game looks superb with countless possibilities combined with smooth gameplay and a healthy mix of fast paced action and strategic gameplay (slightly reminiscent of Splinter Cell or Hitman) .
Nearing the end we were presented with small presentations from companies such as Media Molecule, Square Enix (who unsurprisingly offered up another Final Fantasy entry) along with their new "Luminous" engine, Ubisoft, Capcom (who dazzled us with the "Panta Rhei" engine).
Along with Blizzard announcing their new alignment with Sony and finally Activision dropping major news of Bungie releasing Destiny on the PS4 which was a bit of a slap in the face for Microsoft especially with the glimpse of Master Chief in the video presentation.
Sony definitely made a statement last night and are proudly embrassing the gamers which is something Microsoft may overlook in their bid to use the xbox as an interface to control your home,
If one thing is for certain it's that this year is set to be a defining year in gaming and i for one am looking forward to further announcements leading up to the launch of Sony's PS4.
