The commands are very limited compared to that of Xbox One (although Irish X1 users have to resort to a little workaround to enable that). * Voice recognition becomes available via the headset or if you shell out for the €60 PS Camera – but at this point it hardly seems worth it.

Hopefully, YouTube uploads are only a quick patch away. Or you can capture and edit the latest 15 minutes of your action – but only for upload to Facebook. You can easily broadcast your gaming prowess live (via Twitch or uStream), including video of yourself if you have the PS Camera. * The wildfire popularity of gameplay videos on YouTube testifies to the wisdom of Sony’s prominent inclusion of sharing options on PS4. My view is that we’re not yet at the point where the substantial boost in horsepower significantly affects enemy AI or other clever background ideas. It’s there most obviously in the extraordinary draw distance of the Killzone scenery but cynics may suggest it makes little difference to gameplay. A less discerning eye may struggle to identify the extra detail.

It’s the law that every successive generation must be more stunningly beautiful and PS4 passes that test – but only just.

That is a reversal of the early days of PS3 vs Xbox 360, something which was ironed out in time and may well be the case in this generation. It is worth noting that cross-platform titles such as Assassin’s Creed IV and Call of Duty: Ghosts run noticeably better on PS4 than on Xbox One. If you take out a €50 PS Plus subscription (which you’ll really have to for multiplayer), then the two freebies Resogun and Contrast are worth a look but hardly count as reasons to pay €400 for a console. It stands up pretty well but doesn’t get much support from the rest, including the poorly received platformer/brawler Knack. Sony’s exclusive line-up for PS4 puts a lot of weight on the shoulders of the latest Killzone shooter – the only blockbuster in the arsenal. The best games on Xbox 360 and PS3 took years to emerge, for instance. And it takes time to get to grips with the new architecture. Developers won’t spend huge amounts because the installed base of customers is tiny relative to that of previous generations.

No console launch line-up is ever perfect. So all that focus on games must mean Sony has cued up a phenomenal launch line-up, right? Well, not exactly.

It explains why the new PS4 strips back some of the multimedia focus – to the extent that (for now at least) it’s not nearly as versatile as the PS3 in terms of music and streaming video. That strategy stands in opposition to Microsoft’s Xbox One plan – which has a familiar all-encompassing ring to it. How times have changed.Ĭhastened by the difficult and not entirely successful evolution of its PS3 plan, Sony perhaps wisely positions the new PS4 as first and foremost a gaming monster. SEVEN years ago, Sony touted the new PS3 as the ultimate entertainment machine, a master for everything from TV to movies to, yes, gaming.
