PS4 lets owners use their real names online at launch

The PlayStation 4 and Xbox One both support functionality so that console owners can use their real names for online services. Microsoft intends to introduce the feature at a later date. In the case of the PlayStation 4, this will be available to users on day one.

Sony did indeed confirm that the functionality will be in place come November 15. Keep in mind: it’s optional rather than required, so you can stick to a nickname of your choosing if you so desire.

Sony details PS4 system software update 1.50, available at launch

Alongside the PlayStation 4′s launch next month, users will be able to download firmware update 1.50. The 300MB download will bring along numerous features and functionality.

Here’s the full rundown, straight for the PlayStation Blog:

Remote Play
Users will be able to access PS4 titles displayed on their living room TVs and play them on a PS Vita system over Wi-Fi networks by using PS4 Link (Depending on network environment or titles, remote play performance may vary outside of the home). We anticipate that most PS4 titles will be playable on the PS Vita system through Remote Play. The latest PS Vita system software version, to be released soon, will be required to use PS4 Link.

Second Screen
Users can use the PS4 Link application for the PS Vita system, and PlayStation App for iPhone, iPad, and Android-based smartphones and tablets, to use these devices as second screens in supported titles. PlayStation App has the ability to enable users to interact with games with their mobiles devices. For example on The Playroom, a title pre-installed in all PS4 systems that requires PlayStation Camera, users can draw pictures on their mobile device screens and flick them towards the TV. The images then appear as a 3D object within the game.

Record, take screenshots, and upload gameplay effortlessly
The PS4 system provides dedicated, “always on” video encoding systems that enables seamless uploading of gameplay. Users can share their epic triumphs by simply hitting the Share button on DualShock 4, take screenshots or scan through the last 15 minutes of gameplay, tag it and return to the game—the video uploads as the user plays. At the PS4 system’s launch in North America, users will be able to share their images and videos with friends on Facebook and screenshots with followers on Twitter, though users will need to sign up for individual accounts to use Facebook and Twitter.

Broadcast and spectate gameplay
The PS4 system also enhances social spectating by enabling users to broadcast their gameplay in real-time to game fans around the globe, using Ustream and Twitch live internet streaming services (users will need to sign up for individual accounts to use Ustream and Twitch). There are two ways for users to view live broadcasts. First, the Live from PlayStation application on PS4 aggregates streams from all PlayStation users. Second, users can spectate friends’ PS4 gameplay from PCs, and applications such as Ustream, Twitch, and browsers, which are installed on their mobile devices. These applications can be easily started up via PlayStation App, and users can also use these applications to post comments to gameplay broadcasts. Furthermore, users with PlayStation Camera can stream camera images and microphone sounds along with their live gameplay broadcast.

Play as you download
This feature enables users to play supported digital titles as they are being downloaded. The time it takes to begin playing will vary depending on game data size and network environments, and not all titles will support this feature When a game is purchased, users can start playing after PS4 downloads a portion of the data, while the rest of the game is downloaded in the background during actual gameplay. Games may be downloaded in stand-by mode.

Multi log-in
A maximum of four users can log-in to a single PS4 system simultaneously. These players can use their own save data to play games, and also earn trophies on their own Sony Entertainment Network accounts even when playing a multiplayer game together on a single PS4 system.

Party (Voice chat)
By using the Mono Headset bundled with the PS4 system, users will be able to chat with up to eight friends enjoying different applications or games. Furthermore, users can use Party to chat between PS4 and PS Vita systems.

Face recognition and voice commands
Users with PlayStation Camera will be able to register their facial image onto their PS4 system, and login to their system using facial recognition instead of DualShock 4. Furthermore, users can use either the microphone of the Mono Head set connected to DualShock 4, or PlayStation Camera to navigate through the PS4 home screen (PlayStation Dynamic Menu) with voice commands to start up games and shutdown the system, among other features; please refer to PS4’s online manual for recognizable voice commands.

Background music player
Users can enjoy gameplay while listening to music in the background with Music Unlimited, a cloud-based digital music service. Users can also voice chat with friends while listening to music. Learn more about Music Unlimited here.

Online Multiplayer
PlayStation Plus members will be able to play PS4 titles online with other players via the network. PS Plus makes it easy for members to join available online multiplayer matches in a variety of ways, including the ability to easily join a game from a live stream broadcast or Party voice chats.

Blu-ray Disc and DVD player
Users can enjoy not only gaming on their PS4 system, but also Blu-ray and DVD video contents. When using for the first time, users must connect to the internet to activate this feature.

Note: some features will not be included at launch – specifically the “suspend/resume mode” which keeps the PS4 system in a low power state and can then takes users back to their game.

吉田修平Twitter确认PS4主机不支持自定义壁纸

　　PS3自定义主题和壁纸的设定一直让玩家们津津乐道，但是这个设定可能在次世代有所改动，日前有玩家对SCE全球工作室总裁吉田修平的Twitter上留言询问，PS4是否支持自定义壁纸，而吉田修平也给出了干脆利落的回答，“NO”。

　　吉田修平在Twitter上证实PS4不支持自定义壁纸，这对于喜欢DIY的玩家来说是个不好的消息，虽然官方也可能推出壁纸，但是玩家们肯定还是倾向于按照自己的喜好来安排壁纸。此外吉田修平还证实PS4游戏将会自动缓存数据，玩家第一次进入游戏时无需安装。

PlayStation 4′s Remote Play feature won’t always require a Wi-Fi connection. If your console and PS Vita system are hooked up locally, you can choose to connect them directly. PS4 users will be given the option to select a local or Internet connection for Remote Play.

According to Sony Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida:

Various developers speak out about PS4 overheating rumors, saying they aren’t true

“We’ve been using a bunch of dev kits. They’ve been on almost all the time, sometimes even over night. They’ve always stayed cool, never even gotten warm so It has never suggested the threat of a problem. We have had no problems with any of the dev kits throughout development.”

- Secret Ponchos developer Yousuf Mapara

“As far as I know, the specs and cooling of the current dev kits are the same as the final retail consoles, and I never saw one getting any hotter than a PS3 or a Xbox 360. Our consoles never had problems of that sort, and if you’re talking about that picture with the red line, I never saw something like that.”
