索尼公布PS4新开发工具及中间设备 PS3也享用

　　索尼日前宣布与GameMaker: Studio和MonoGame成立合作伙伴关系，二者将为PS4提供中间设备问题的本地解决方案。



　　YoYo Games和SCE联合开发的跨平台游戏开发商业软件GameMaker: Studio将为PS4提供本地化解决方案，让PS4主机可以更容易的利用GameMaker: Studio自带的输出功能，把他们在PC平台上开发的2D游戏移植到PS4平台上来。

　　为此索尼举出了数个成功利用改功能的游戏案例，包括Heart Machine的《Hyper Light Drifter》、Teknopants的《Samurai Gunn》、Hopoo Games的《Risk of Rain》、Benjamin Rivers的《Home》及Vlambeer的《Nuclear Throne》。

　　而MonoGame则是一个以C+为基础的开源引擎，在PS4平台上首先利用开引擎开发出来的游戏就是Matt Makes Games的《TowerFall：Ascension》。该作将于未来的几个月内推出，该引擎还帮助Tribute Games和Supergiant Games把他们旗下的《Mercenary Kings》和《Transistor》移植到PC平台上来。

　　游戏开发软件GameMaker: Studio和开源引擎MonoGame都将授权给所有的PlayStation开发者。同时索尼还公布统一继承解决方案，让PS3和PSV也能想享受同样的待遇，当然初期还是针对PS4平台，授权将于4月正式开发。

　　此外索尼还宣布将其内部使用的开发工具Authoring Tools Framework免费向其他开发者提供，该工具多次运用在PS4、PS3和PSV平台上的游戏开发，最典型的案例就是《超越：两个灵魂》。

PS4 update 1.7 to add Share enhancements, HDCP off

Upcoming PS4 Update to Add SHARE Enhancements and HDCP Off

Here at PlayStation, we listen closely to your comments and requests, which are weighted heavily when looking at the future of our platforms. Since PlayStation 4 launched, we’ve heard a lot of great feedback from you about what you like with the platform and what you’d like to see us work on. I’m happy to report that, as a direct result of your feedback, we’ll soon be bringing some of your most-requested features to PS4 with a system software update in the upcoming weeks. These features and additions will help make your PS4 even more socially connected by further enabling you to customize your most epic gaming moments and granting even more options to show them to your friends.

This upcoming update will add a rich video editor with a simple tool to personalize your video clips, and you’ll also be able to export to and save the videos and screenshots you create by pressing the SHARE button to a USB drive. In addition, this update will add an HDCP off option for capturing gameplay via HDMI, a feature we’ve previously said would come after launch. We recognize that some gamers want to record and share longer clips of their gameplay sessions, and we’re excited to deliver this option with PS4. There’s a lot more coming in this update as well, so stay tuned for more—there will be plenty in the update to excite everyone.

As part of a separate system software update in the future, we have been working with our partners at Twitch and Ustream, and will also be adding the ability for Twitch broadcasts to be archived – another highly requested feature among PS4 fans who are taking advantage of the SHARE button features. These broadcasts will be also provided with a higher resolution of 720p, so PS4 fans can enjoy live broadcasts with clearer images. We’ll have more to come on these updates and more in the coming weeks.

PS4新固件1.7升级即将到来 功能更新：录像编辑、拷贝至USB、关闭HDCP 以及更多等等

      即将到来的全新PS4固件升级将会加入一个名为rich video editor的视频编辑器，简便地将玩家自己录制的游戏视频个性化。玩家还可以利用SHARE键，将自己录制的视频与截图传输到USB存储装置里。另外，这个更新还将提供关闭HDCP的选项，来让玩家通过HDMI录制视频。这个功能在发售后就对玩家做出过承诺。我们知道一些玩家想要录制并且保存更长的游戏视频，我们很高兴把这个功能带到PS4上去。这个更新还将有更多的内容，这将在未来公布。

     在更下一次的更新中，我们还会加深与Twitch和Ustream合作，让Twitch的直播得以保存下来回放——这也是PS4玩家们提出想要的要素，它也将更大限度地利用SHARE键的优势。所有的直播都将提升到720P的分辨率，所以PS4玩家们在看直播的时候就可以享受到更加清晰的画面了。更多的消息将在未来发布。

PlayStation Still Loves Devs - 1,000 Self-Publishers

PS4 has been met with an amazing amount of enthusiasm and excitement from both gamers and developers alike since its launch back in November, and the 6 million gamers who have already bought PS4 have really embraced this next-generation gaming experience. We’ve got more than 100 games scheduled to launch on PS4 this year alone, including Watch_Dogs, The Elder Scrolls Online, Destiny, and The Order: 1886.

That amazing lineup is made possible by the development community, who have been hard at work with our hardware, already pushing it to do things that we never expected. Recently we reached a significant milestone with more than 1,000 developers licensed globally to self-publish on our platforms, 200 of those licensed in North America since PS4 was unveiled in February 2013.

A year ago at the Game Developers Conference, we kicked our support for independent developers into high-gear. Since then, we continued to partner with some of the world’s best and brightest independent developers committed to bringing their titles — some of the most creative and innovative games I’ve seen — to PlayStation platforms. We’ve already seen some great content hit PS4 — from crafting waffles in Don’t Starve to scaring the pants off of people with Outlast. We’re looking forward to some of this year’s self-published titles like Octodad, Transistor, N++, GALAK-Z, Rogue Legacy, Binding of Isaac: Rebirth, and The Witness, and you know we’re all already playing a metric arrow ton of TowerFall Ascension.

This year’s GDC was awesome, as usual. We had a blast meeting with developers, both partners we’ve worked with time and time again, as well as new up-and-coming talent. We also continued collecting feedback from developers on what they’ve discovered while spending time with our platforms, and we introduced some new tools that will help ease the process of bringing their games to PlayStation gamers… not to mention how we peeked into the future of PlayStation.

To developers, to fans: THANK YOU for helping us make history with PlayStation 4.

US PlayStation Plus April ~ Batman: Arkham City, Mercenary Kings & More

   

PlayStation Plus April Preview: Arkham City, Mercenary Kings and More

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, Batman! Yes, that is the sound of Batman: Arkham City coming to PlayStation Plus in April for PlayStation 3 owners. Arkham City garnered praise from gamers and critics alike, as evidenced by its cumulative 96/100 score on Metacritic. With the recent announcement of Batman Arkham Knight, this is a great way to catch up on Batman’s adventures.

PlayStation 4 owners can join up with friends and take down an evil corporation in a new 2D action game, Mercenary Kings. As you explore the island CLAW (that’s the evil corporation) has taken over, you’ll discover weapon parts that you can take back to your base and use to fashion together some new spiffy gear.

There are two other PS3 games this month: Stealth Inc. A Clone In the Dark and Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse. Stealth Inc. is, as you can probably guess, a game where you should stick to the shadows. The only way to make it out of the lab alive is via some sneaky platforming, so proceed with caution. Castle of Illusion is a proper remake of the Sega Genesis version, not just an HD upgrade. There are new levels to navigate but the goal is the same — save your #1 mouse (that’s Minnie) from the evil witch.

While Vita owners can also enjoy Stealth Inc. (the benefits of Cross-Buy!) this month, they’ll also get Velocity Ultra, an arcade-y space shooter where you’ll teleport around and save other ships, and Pixeljunk Monsters Ultimate HD, a classic tower-defense style game where you’ll need to save baby Tiki-people.

索尼称PS4更受日本女性欢迎

　　最近在一次记者对亚洲·日本索尼电脑娱乐公司的采访中，公司总裁川野洋（Hiroshi Kawano）对外界爆料到，“PS4已经在日本女性玩家中流行起来，并开始占领主导地位。”

　　川野先生解释到：“虽然到目前看来其增长势头还不很激烈，但PS4无疑要比它的前辈们更受女士们的青睐。直到现在，在日本还是有许多女性玩家倾向于在新款式、新色彩的家用机平台上市后再选择购买它们。而这一次，我们从一开始就在PS4上更积极地采用了多款式战略来吸引广大玩家，特别是对于十几岁和二十出头的大学生，这就是新一代平台与其过去几代的明显趋势变化。我很高兴看到众多女性用户的增加，但我还是不想偏离于我们的核心玩家的，我们还是会继续保持与核心玩家的密切交流并保证他们可以开心的体验游戏。”

　　值得一提的是，在过去的几年里，日本女性还没有像西方女性那样很快成为家用机平台的核心玩家。但最近女性玩家在PS4方面的销售热潮可能暗示了她们已经开始发现了隐藏在家用机平台中的乐趣。相信在不久之后，我们将能在游戏机前看到更多女性玩家的身影。

PS4将发布1.70更新 增加影片编辑器及多项功能

       索尼今天在PlayStation官方博客上宣布，PS4即将迎来1.70版本更新，索尼还带来了非常详尽的更新介绍。

       下面是索尼官方的全文：

　　我们上个月在GDC曾经公布将会推出PlayStation®4的大型系统软件更新，为大家带来一些你们一直要求的全新精彩功能。今日我很高兴能宣布PS4™系统软件更新(v1.70) 很快便会带来部分大家渴求的新功能，有些来自大家非常具有建设性的意见。这次的更新将会是一次大型更新，而今日我们很兴奋能让大家率先看看这次更新有甚么值得玩家期待。

　　全新介绍：SHAREfactory

　　v1.70版本更新会带来功能丰富的全新PS4™影片编辑应用程序「SHAREfactory」，让你能更轻松地自定义游玩片段：

   

       SHAREfactory让你简单组合影片来编辑、使用滤光镜、过场及主题来加添特别效果，与好友及社交网络分享。你还可以为影片加添文字、贴图、一系列供选用的音乐以及透过PlayStation®Camera加入画中画的影片旁述;亦可输入原创音乐，为你的影片加添背景音乐。

       随身携带你的分享片段

　　v1.70版本更新的另一项新功能是，当你完成创作你的大作后，可将SHAREfactory影片分享到Facebook或输出至外置USB储存装置，上载到任何地方。其他新添的PS4™分享功能包括缩短游玩片段、在分享画面变更分享影片的对象以及移除储存屏幕截图及影片的预设设定。除了这些新功能，v1.70版本更新更可让你关闭HDCP，让你从HDMI输出直接录制影片，录像及分享更长的游玩片段;我知道很多玩家都在期待这项新功能。我们很期待看看PlayStation的玩家会如何运用这些新的社交功能，亦急不及待能马上推出这些新功能!

　　在游戏推出一分钟内开始游玩

　　让你可立即玩到想玩的游戏是PS4™设计的优先考虑，也是我们一直希望可以做得更好的范畴。我们收到很多PS4™机迷的响应，均表达对「一边下载一边游玩(Play as You Download)」功能-在游戏推出时可立即进行高速下载和游玩-以及接口的整体速度和反应一致好评。1.70更新将针对这些方面加入了新功能，让玩家可以透过自动下载功能更快游玩自己预订了的游戏。你将可以在自己已经预订了的游戏正式推出前4天预先开始下载游戏。若自动下载功能设定正确的话，系统将会自动预先下载预订了的游戏，让你在游戏正式推出的一刻立即开始游玩该游戏。

　　正如以前提及，部分新增功能是因为你们提出的意见才得以实现。我们乐于聆听你的意见，所以请继续分享你的想法。现在只是开始而已，在v1.70及以后的 PS4™系统软件更新还会有更多全新功能和内容。创新构思可能来自不同的人，PS4™体验将根据这些构思不断进化，确保你每次开启主机时都可以享受到最佳的游戏娱乐体验。

PS4 Update 1.70 Available Soon, SHAREfactory Revealed

PS4 Update 1.70 Coming Soon, Introducing SHAREfactory

As we mentioned last month during GDC, we’ll be releasing a major system software update for PS4 that will add some exciting new features that many of you have been asking for. Today, I’m pleased to announce a few of those features from PS4 system software update (v1.70) will be available soon, including features that were incorporated as a result of your great feedback. This will be a significant update, and today we’re excited to bring you a sneak peek of just a few things you can look forward to.

Introducing: SHAREfactory

The 1.70 update will enable SHAREfactory, our new rich video editor app for PS4 that makes it easy for you to customize your gameplay videos:

With SHAREfactory, you can now easily combine your captured video clips for editing, personalize them with special effects using filters, transitions, and themes, as well as share them with your friends and social networks. SHAREfactory also allows you to personalize your videos by adding text, stickers, and a set of included audio tracks, as well as video commentary with picture-in-picture capability with PlayStation Camera. It also allows you to import your original music to add to the custom soundtrack for your video.

Take Your Share Anywhere

Once you’re done with your masterpiece, you can easily share your SHAREfactory videos to Facebook, or export them to an external USB storage device to upload them elsewhere, another new feature coming as part of the 1.70 system software update. Other PS4 SHARE enhancements include the ability to change the recording time of your gameplay to shorter increments, the ability to change who you share your clips with on the SHARE screen, and the removal of default saves for screenshots and video clips. In addition to these SHARE enhancements, the 1.70 update will allow you switch off HDCP, enabling you to capture video directly from your HDMI output so you can record and share longer clips of your gameplay sessions — a feature I know many of you have been waiting for. We are excited to see what the PlayStation Nation does with these new social features, and cannot wait to get them into your hands!

Play as Soon as the Game is Released

Providing you with immediate access to your games is a priority designed into PS4, and something we will always strive to make better. We’ve had a great response from PS4 fans about the Play as You Download feature, the snappy load times when launching and playing games, and the general speed and responsiveness of the UI. The 1.70 update adds features to build on this idea and make it faster to play the games you pre-order with an auto pre-download capability, which allows you to pre-download your select pre-ordered game up to several days prior to release. If you have the auto-download feature enabled, it will automatically pre-download your pre-ordered game so you can play as soon as the game is unlocked on release day.

As I mentioned earlier, some of these features were a direct result of the great feedback we’ve been getting from you, our dedicated gamer community. We enjoy listening to your comments, and encourage you to continue sharing your thoughts with us. And this is just the beginning. We’ve got a lot more coming in PS4 system software update v1.70 and beyond. The PS4 experience will constantly evolve, and new innovative ideas can come from anywhere to ensure the platform continues to deliver the best in gaming and entertainment every time you turn it on.

We’ll have more information to share about new upcoming features for this major system software update as the release approaches, so stay tuned!

索尼发布新视频展示PS4增强现实与真实光影技术

　　索尼电子娱乐日本与亚洲部今天在Nico Nico Chokaigi3展会活动上展出了最新PS4 AR（增强现实）技术，公布了两段视频，标题分别为“PS4 AR流体模拟”和“PS4 动态光影效果”。

　　这项技术是“未来研发课”的技术成果，它可以正确地模拟流体并识别环境中的光源。然后将自然光源的效果应用于增强现实引擎中，让AR物体按照真实光源表现出相应的光照效果。不仅如此，AR物体还将根据光源位置投射出真实的阴影。

　　这一技术的革命性在于，AR物体将不再突兀地出现在视野中，而会更加接近真实环境中的物体。除了下面两部视频，Nico Nico Chokaigi3展会上将为我们分三部分展示新技术。首先是展示PS4的强大处理能力，该技术可以立刻识别集换卡中的角色，与初音未来家族一一对应。这以功能或将成为未来集换卡游戏的一大趋势。

　　其次是东京羽田国际机场的虚拟重建，玩家可以在PSV上观看东京羽田国际机场的实时飞机起降情况。

　　第三是“VitaHoloPop”（Vita全息泡泡），可以将PSV变成全息影像投影仪，向一个透明介质透射全息投影。该技术尚在研发中，应用前景将不局限于装饰用途。
