The future of PlayStation is all about great games and entertainment, and at PlayStation Meeting 2013, we brought some of the brightest and most creative minds from the development community on stage to unveil the games that will define PS4. A partial initial lineup for PlayStation 4 includes first-party games from Guerilla Games (Killzone: Shadow Fall), Sucker Punch (inFamous Second Son), Evolution Studios (Driveclub), and Japan Studio (Knack), as well as titles from our partners such as Activision/Bungie (Destiny), Blizzard Entertainment (Diablo III), Capcom (Deep Down), and Ubisoft (Watch_Dogs). PlayStation also reinforced its commitment to self-publishing and the independent development community by having Jonathan Blow onstage who gave a sneak peek of his upcoming title The Witness. Finally, the incredible minds at Media Molecule and Quantic Dream gave glimpses of their conceptualization process and the future of gameplay with some remarkable footage. We only scratched the surface at the event, and will have many more exciting titles to come.

Our next generation console will change the way you interact with friends while you play. PlayStation 4 lets you instantly share images and videos of your favorite gameplay moments on Facebook with a single press on the DUALSHOCK 4 controller’s “share” button. You can also broadcast while you play in real-time through Ustream, allowing friends to comment or jump into your game in new ways.

With PlayStation 4 we also want you to access your games quicker than ever before. PS4’s “suspend mode” eliminates the load time on your saved game and allows you to immediately return to where you left off by pressing the power button. PlayStation 4’s background downloading and updating capability also allows you to immediately play digital titles as they download, or update the system when the hardware is powered off.

DUALSHOCK 4 adopts the familiar form factor of the DUALSHOCK 3 wireless controller with some key enhancements:
  • - Motion control is enabled by a new highly sensitive six-axis sensor
  • - Dual analog sticks fine-tuned for better precision plus improved surface materials and shape for more delicate manipulation
  • - L2/R2 buttons on the top of the controller employ a curved design for easier, smoother interaction
  • - A new “Options” button combines the functions of the DUALSHOCK 3’s “Select” and “Start” buttons for operating in-game menus

You can see more images of the new DUALSHOCK 4 controller here.

@bloodsnake007 there are loads of custom shells from various websites (in europe at least), you just need to get a PS4 controller to butcher lol
I recommend only changing the top shell as the bottom shell of an official controller has a nice grippy finish (which custom shells do not have..they are all glossy and slippy lol!)

Plenty of vids and guides on how to do it

Any Americans here who drink RedBull and not doing anything with the Destiny codes on the back?

Would you be so kind to pm some? Would. Appreciate alot.

Those Red Bull Destiny codes are only available in the USA.
 
I ordered a PS4 - http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00VEABIA6/?tag=hidefnin-21

Amazon had one - Condition: Used - Very Good - The item may come repackaged. Factory Sealed. All purchases eligible for Amazon customer service and a 30-day return policy. for £288.41

It should arrive on Friday, if it turns out to be damaged or missing things I'll return it and buy a new one for £329.99

I know Amazon Warehouse deals can be a bit hit and miss at times

The last console I bought from Amazon Warehouse didn't turn out to well, scratched to pieces and missing loads of stuff .. but who knows...might get lucky

Though if Amazon list a new Batman Edition PS4 in Prime Day for a lil bit more I might cancel and grab that lol though probably not likely

Yeah, like you said... they can be hit and miss. I've took the gamble before and mostly had pretty good luck with them overall.

Haha I might be tempted myself if they do list one on Prime Day! I doubt they will though unfortunately.
 
@Noodles There are a few PS4 games in Prime Day, nothing that new (except maybe the Witcher 3). Hoping Tomb Raider goes down to £10 as I love that game and would gladly play it again on PS4.

Main reason I want the Batman PS4, other than the fact I love me some Batman stuff, is that its all matte

Pay attention to the description on Amazon Warehouse deals. It'll almost always tell you what i missing, and where there are scratches and such. I won't buy from there unless it's listed as either Like New or Very Good. I bought my PS VITA that way a few years ago, and i saved about $80, and it was Like New, as listed. I also did that with my first PS3 last gen, about 1-1/2 years after release, and it lasted the 5 years i kept it, before trading it in on a slim model. I've personally never had a problem with them, but i'm sure it happens, like with any business. Amazon is always awesome with refunds and exchanges. Especially if you chat with a sales rep.

The descriptions aren't always there, for example the PS3 I bought last year said it was Used - Very Good and just that it came repackaged and was still factory sealed. What I got was a PS3 full of scratches, missing the bundled game and missing one controller. And then a few years back I bought a monitor with a similar description and it came to me brand new.

But yea if it was any other site i wouldnt take the risk, but with amazon its easy to return if it's not as described.

The only thing that concerned me was the huge saving, when they have a Batman Bundle (non special edition) in the same "condition" for a lot more.

It should dispatch on Thursday, so hopefully (depending what courier is used...if its Yodel....then not even Batman can save it!) I will be playing Batman over the weekend.

Going to pick up a few games in Prime Day, I have a list of games I'm looking for....hopefully they get discounted

Hmm. Maybe Amazon UK, isn't as good as Amazon US. Check these descriptions, to see what we normally get for descriptions at Amazon USA.

I may have to check it out. I never could get into Tiger Woods golf for some reason, though. I'm hoping that Hot Shots Golf is going to be out by the end of the year, like it's been rumored. I've worked at a golf course for 10 years now, but i've never even played the course. I prefer video game golf, for sure. I haven't even swung a club in about 17 years now.
