Watch streams from the playroom ps45/1/2023 ![]() It’ll probably fit better into your entertainment centre or onto a shelf below your TV too, so long as you’ve got a foot of depth for it, but basically if you had room for PS3 or the fat Xbox 360, you’ve got room for the PS4. It’s miles and miles more attractive than the weird launch PS3 with its awkward bubble. Likewise, the “buttons” take the form of two, vertical capacitive touch areas that are terrifically subtle, and therefore easy to graze by accident. The disc slot and the two USB controller ports sit on the front, in the gap between the box’s upper and lower halves, tucked away in to make the whole thing seem monolithic and stark. It’s biggish but not gigantic - 11 inches wide, a foot long, and two inches high, roughly the size of a small pizza box. The real meat of the PS4 is, of course, inside the actual console, that slick, slanted black box with a shock of glossy plastic along its upper left side. We’ve spent enough time with the PS4 to have strong first impressions, but we will be updating this post as more features go live. It’s about anchoring people’s living rooms for the next decade and beyond. Digital distribution, downloadable games, social media integration, entertainment apps it’s not just about horsepower anymore. It’s also facing a tectonic shift in what a console is in 2013. Neither has shown us new console hardware since the PS3 launched back in November 2006.īack then, Sony was still riding the wild success of the PS2, but this time, Sony’s coming from behind in terms of raw sales the 360 maintained a 32-month winning streak as the best-selling console, interrupted only by a deft PS3 Grand Theft Auto V bundle. With Nintendo off on its own wacky schedule with its own wacky (but neat!) hardware, Microsoft and Sony are in a two-horse race to win the hearts and thumbs of traditional gamers. It’s been forever since we’ve had a debut like this. The first of the two titans of next-gen gaming (sorry Wii U). A beautiful slab of $549 hardware that puts pretty explosions on your TV screen. A gaming station for gamers who like to game. Sony’s PS4 has come in first the haphazard sprint to the new-console finish line, and it’s pretty awesome. For actual footage of last night, you can watch my video recap below.The next gen is here! Or half of it anyway. This is definitely going to be a major point of debate, and without a doubt going to be all over the mainstream press in the next week or so. However Xbox One has a mandatory Kinect in every box, with a similar Twitch app coming next year. Thankfully the PS4 camera has to be purchased separately, so that cuts down the numbers quite a bit. ![]() Remember the story just two weeks ago about Nintendo discontinuing Swapnote to protect children from predators? With well over a million PS4 units in homes around the world and The Playroom pre-installed on all of them, this is a big concern. This allows anyone to stream online publicly from any room in their house. but the ease of use of Twitch on PS4 is an entirely new beast. There's been girls playing League of Legends in the nude and the like. This kind of lewd behavior is nothing new to Twitch. Thanks to some quick action from Twitch, most of those consoles were banned. Men stripped their passed out wives nude, a lot of drugs were used and showcased, and there was even some public urination. a bunch of other people have to go fuck that up!Ī (dirty) laundry list of bad deeds ensued through out the night on Twitch. This is history in the making and a new technology being used in a unique way that was not the original intention. ![]() Have you checked #thespartanshow? Pretty amazing! Two PS4 owners using The Playroom to host thier own TV show > and Shuhei Yoshida was quick to join in as I'm watching it :)Ĭool to dial in to the even though I sound sick as a dog! One of those callers was none other than Sony's own Adam Boyes, who congratulated the couple on making the show. Through the use of Twitch streaming The Playroom, they created a live internet talk show that was taking live callers. ![]() This lead to a creative couple from Spokane, Washington to make The Spartan Show. Apparently nobody at Sony or Twitch took into much consideration that using the share function for The Playroom basically gives anyone the ability to broadcast full screen live video (albeit mirrored). something we all pretty much knew was a way to share our gaming experiences with others. Sony's PlayStation 4 has the ability to instantly stream to via the share function. ![]()
