Hace dos noche fue una de las presentaciones más concurridas de la empresa Sony cuando se trata del área de juegos con el Playstation y como todo productos nuevos, vienen la ola de halagos, criticas, maldiciones, etc, etc, etc.
Empezamos con lo que Sony oficialmente anunció para la consola y es quien tuvo el honor de confirmar al mundo fue Mark Cerny quien desempeñó como el desarrollador del sistema anunciando lo que ya estábamos esperando. Sony lanzará el sucesor del Playstation 3, la cuarta versión de la consola para casas desde que Sony decidió entrar de lleno en este mundo de los videos juegos desde el 1995, en otras palabras 4 consolas de hogar en poco más de 18 años.
Ahora las cosas claves que fueron anunciadas y quiero empezar con el control Dualshock 4…
Admítanlo, es el sueño de gamers de por lo menos hace 10 años que nuestros controles tuvieran la capacidad de tener un control adicional con un estilo que no necesitemos un mouse, audífonos, un control interactivo con tu experiencia de juego, inalámbrico y controlar la consola directamente desde el control.
Aunque algunas de estas ya son realidad en el PS3, lo cierto es que lo de las bocinas fue una clara respuesta al Wii de Nintendo quienes tomaron la delantera en ese sentido, pero un trackpad y una luz sensible a la experiencia de tu juego es algo único y llamativo, definitivamente mis aplausos a Sony en esta parte Y GRACIAS por hacer la vibración disponible desde día 1, esa maroma con el lanzamiento del PS3 el Six-Axis haber venido sin vibración fue un “oops” brutal que casi le cuesta la carrera inicial contra el Xbox 360 y el Wii a Sony.
Por otro lado, La plataforma Gaikai tomando un papel protagónico en el área de streamming de juegos para el Playstation 4 era de esperarse si recordarán cuando Sony anunció la compra del servicio.
Con su propio CEO David Perry, Gaikai logró convertirse en una buena alternativa para el gaming en computación en nube y el que Sony decidiera comprarlos fue la más tremenda reivindicación, y ahora jugará un papel importante en la compra de juegos que se pueden bajar y de ahí quiero brincar un poco a otro punto pero relacionado.
Los juegos de Playstation 3 hacia atrás lamentablemente por el momento no habrá compatibilidad a pesar a que habrán juegos físicos para el PS4, aun así Gaikai pudiera estar ofreciendo versiones para bajar de los mismos y lo bueno de todos, gracias a las mejoradas capacidades de multi-tasking, el PS4 puede dejarte jugar el juegos que compras mientras se está bajando adicional a que también videos pueden ser subidos mientras estás jugando, esto es una compensación en mi más humilde opinión.
Adicional, es muy temprano para trolear del hecho que juegos PS3 no puedan jugarse físicamente en el Playstation 4, dado y partiendo de la principal premisa que en Gamestop hay PS3 que ni votándolos se acaban, me gustaría decir que desautorizo cualquier queja mientras tienes la oportunidad de comprar un PS3 y dejarle las quejas a la nueva generación de gamers que posiblemente si no pueden usar eBay, les será difícil conseguir un PS3 en algunos años.
Otra compensación y una preocupación generada por la forma que Microsoft quiere manejar la piratería de juegos, Sony NO bloqueara juegos usados, OTRO APLAUSO….Ehhh Microsoft, hay mejores maneras de hacer frente a la piratería, pero si no hay disposición de trabajar en equipo no esperes que los hacker se aquieten por sí solos.

Videogame Industry's Brightest Minds Convene In New York As Part Of Sony Computer Entertainment's Introduction Of PlayStation®4
Videogame Industry's Brightest Minds Convene In New York As Part Of Sony Computer Entertainment's Introduction Of PlayStation®4
NEW YORK, Feb. 20, 2013 /PRNewswire/ — Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. (SCE) today introduced PlayStation®4 (PS4™), its next-generation gaming platform for the home, alongside the videogame industry’s brightest and most creative minds at PlayStation®Meeting 2013. With unprecedented power, deep social capabilities, and instant accessibility, PS4 allows game creators to unleash their imaginations and deliver new play experiences to gamers that were never before possible. The live audience at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York, along with millions of fans streaming the event around the world, were also provided with a sneak peek of some of the games that will ultimately define the PS4 experience. Andrew House , President and Group CEO, Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. officially announced PS4 and presented the broader vision for PlayStation® evolving from a console in the living room into the best place to play wherever gamers are: “Our vision for the future is consumer-centric, developer-inspired, and characterized by an unwavering commitment to phenomenal play experiences,” House remarked. “Today we are revealing the genesis of an expanding ‘idea’ about the future of play – an idea with enough potential to satisfy the insatiable appetites of our creative community of developers and gamers.” Acclaimed game designer and industry veteran Mark Cerny then took the stage to discuss PS4 in more detail, including the powerful system components that will give developers the canvas to fully express their creative ideas and deliver more immersive gaming that transcends today’s expectations. Cerny, the lead system architect for PS4, also talked about the five key principles guiding the design of the consumer experience that will surround all games: simple, immediate, social, integrated, and personalized. “We wanted to ensure that nothing would come between the platform and the joy of play,” Cerny said. “We also wanted to be sure that the system architecture could fluidly connect the player to a larger world of experiences, and provide easy access to everything PlayStation® has to offer – across the console and mobile spaces, and PlayStation®Network. And we were able to create, in PS4, a platform by game creators for game creators.” David Perry , noted developer and CEO of Gaikai Inc., which joined SCE group last year, announced the ambitions for PlayStation®Network and how PS4 will leverage Gaikai’s cloud technology to deliver a sea change in how consumers discover, access, share and enjoy games. Whether that’s connecting PSN more deeply into social networks or broadcasting the game a user is playing in real time or getting help from friends in new ways, the gaming experience on PS4 is rooted in social interaction. Perry also discussed the company’s goal to make free exploration possible for various games, a concept he described as, “Try it for free, share it if you like it, only pay for games you fall in love with.” PS4 integrates second screens, including PS Vita, smartphones and tablets, to wrap gamers in their favorite content wherever they are. SCE’s long-term goal is to make almost every PS4 title playable on PS Vita by using Remote Play over Wi-Fi networks. “PS Vita is the ultimate companion device for PS4, enabling gamers to pull their games from their beautiful HDTVs to PS Vita’s beautiful 5-inch screen,” Perry noted. The spotlight moved toward some of the most creative individuals in the development and publishing community, highlighting how PS4 brings a new synergy between hardware and software to enable new emotional states of play never before possible. “The future of PlayStation is about great games – inspiring, new experiences from the imaginations of the world’s best creators,” said Michael Denny , SVP, Sony Computer Entertainment Worldwide Studios. Denny introduced developers behind some of the first-party titles being created exclusively for the new platform, including Guerrilla Games’ Hermen Hulst , Sucker Punch Productions’ Nate Fox , and Evolution Studios’ Matt Southern . “‘Next Generation’ no longer just means ‘more powerful hardware,’” Southern said. “We’re a next generation of gamer, we want to play great looking games but in new ways that fit our permanently-connected lives. To us, that means driving in a team. It’s such a thrill for a studio to be asked to help define new PlayStation technology, so that we can bring our vision for team based racing to life.” Celebrated independent developer Jonathan Blow then unveiled the first official trailer for The Witness, which will be exclusive to PS4 for console and underscores PlayStation’s support of developers interested in pushing the boundaries of play. PlayStation®Meeting 2013 also featured two of the gaming industry’s most talented creators providing a glimpse into the future of what’s possible on PS4. David Cage from Quantic Dream explored narrative-driven gaming and how PS4′s powerful hardware lets developers forget about technology and focus on creating experiences that trigger emotions. “We can concentrate on what amazing stories we want to tell and what incredible worlds we want to create,” Cage said. “We can take you to places you have never seen before and make you feel emotions that you have never felt in real life, without having to wonder if we will have the horsepower to do so. We are now only limited by our imagination.” Alex Evans from Media Molecule then re-imagined the concept of user-generated content and creativity. Armed with a PlayStation®Move motion controller, he demonstrated the freedom of expression that PS4 offers to creators, whether they’re professional developers or gamers of all levels. Evans remarked: “PS4, in our eyes, should be ‘the creative console’. It’s the place you go to be inspired; It’s the place to experience other’s dreams, or make your own: it’s the place you go, to make. With PS4, with the creative console, we want to change making in every way: from music to gaming to story-telling.” Building on PlayStation’s long-standing history of collaborating with third-party partners, PS4 will have software support from virtually every major developer and publisher across North America, Europe and Japan. At PlayStation Meeting 2013, titles in development and technology demos were presented by partners including Activision Publishing, Inc., Blizzard Entertainment, Inc., Bungie, Inc., CAPCOM, Epic Games, Inc., Havok, SQUARE ENIX Co., Ltd., Ubisoft Entertainment, showcasing how the development community has already embraced PS3′s ability to make their imaginations become reality. Ubisoft Entertainment Co-Founder and CEO Yves Guillemot announced that Watch_Dogs, introduced at E3 2012 to critical acclaim, will launch with PS4. “Today, with PS4, Sony Computer Entertainment is introducing an amazing new platform,” Guillemot said. “It will let developers like ours deliver games that surpass anything previously possible on a home console. PS4 will also help us deliver on what we believe to be the future of gaming.” Chris Metzen , Senior Vice President of Story and Franchise Development of Blizzard Entertainment, Inc., unveiled that the award-winning Diablo franchise would make its console debut with PlayStation. Diablo III will be adapted for PS4 with an interface custom-designed to work naturally on controllers. Eric Hirshberg , CEO of Activision Publishing, Inc., announced full support from its developers for PS4. Hirshberg then introduced Bungie, Inc., which is working on “the next great video game franchise – Destiny™.” Harold Ryan , President of Bungie, Inc., announced that Destiny will have exclusive content for PlayStation gamers. Ryan said: “Like PS4, Destiny is an online, connected experience. Like PS4, Destiny lets you access the content you love from multiple devices. And like PS4, Destiny is designed to entertain you for years to come.” The lineup of PS4 games shown at PlayStation Meeting 2013 include: Driveclub (WWS Evolution Studios) inFAMOUS Second Son (WWS Sucker Punch Productions) Killzone: Shadow Fall (WWS Guerrilla Games) Knack (WWS Japan Studio) Deep Down (working title) (CAPCOM) Destiny (Activision Publishing, Inc./ Bungie, Inc.)

Debo decir que no tener una consola presencial o como se vería en realidad, para las demostraciones se sabe que estaba presente el prototipo pero por alguna razón Sony no lo mostró, me deja un tanto tener el feeling que la consola está todavía en proceso final, algo que Sony confirmó, pero ni siquiera mostrar el prototipo, tal parece que los trabajos del Playstation 4 están todavía sin concluir. Esto también por el otro lado de la moneda es bueno, puesto a que ya una optimización temprana para solidificar calidad no estaría mal.
Ahora bien, el hecho de que la consola y la cultura de video juegos está latente intacta y un buen intento de renovar el “feeling”, Sony no deja atrás la innovación tecnológica, máximo cuando se trata de sus equipos.
Primero en mencionar que el Playstation 4 será la consola donde el gaming y las redes sociales estarán más complementadas que nunca y es que la dependencia de redes sociales, en especial uStream y Facebook han sido mejoradas a niveles que será divertido mostrar a tus amigos como realmente juegas con capacidades para compartir screenshots o videos cortos de tus jugadas y estatus en Facebook, todo nuevamente desde el control Dualshock 4.
Otra ventaja es la conexión del PS4 al PS Vita, en donde el Vita jugara un papel complementario con tus juegos.
Sony ha anunciado un concepto de “remote play” para el PS Vita, que permitirá a PlayStation 4 juegos para jugar directamente en la Vita y que el mismo te complemente para otros juegos (¿recuerdan la hermandad del Nintendo Gamecube y el Gameboy Advance?) pero no creo que tengan esto para Navidades, es mucho trabajo a menos que la empresa ya haya delineado un plan con los creadores de juegos, ya que la meta es que sea la mayoría sino se puede todos los juegos del PS4.
Adicional, la posibilidad está latente que otros equipos TAMBIÉN complemente al poder ser utilizados en el PS4, pero ténganlo por seguro que el protagonista será la familia de equipos Xperia.
De las gráficas, se los dejo a que contemplen con el video arriba de esto, pero las nuevas capacidades del PS4 donde realmente los recursos son realmente distribuido y no dejado todos al CPU es una buena idea de Sony, siempre dije que las empresas prometen cosas que finalmente no son los resultados finales, pero siendo justo con Sony, puedo decir que están cerca esta ocasión.
El Playstation 4 estará disponible en Navidades y es probable que sea el protagonista de E3 2013.
