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 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。

PlayStation 4 System Update 1.70 Fully Detailed

Major PS4 System Update Out Tomorrow, Updates for PS Vita and PS App

At PlayStation, we love hearing the great feedback we get from our passionate community of gamers. That’s why I’m excited to announce that our highly-anticipated system software update for PlayStation 4 (v1.70) will be released tomorrow, with a huge number of your demanded features, and expanding upon what we believe is the most socially connected console experience. One feature that I’m most excited about is SHAREfactory, our new rich video editing app. In addition, we’re launching updates for PlayStation Vita (v3.15) and PlayStation App (v1.70) that will deliver greater integration with your PS4 system.

Here’s a rundown of what you can expect with tomorrow’s software updates:

PlayStation 4 v1.70 Update

• SHAREfactory: After you update your PS4 to v1.70, an icon to download our free SHAREfactory app will appear on your PS4 system’s home screen once it’s available. Once installed, SHAREfactory allows you to easily customize your gameplay videos with special effects, video commentary with picture-in-picture capability through PlayStation Camera, and custom soundtracks using the included audio tracks or your original music imported from a USB drive. You can then share your videos on Facebook or export them to an external USB storage device. The app is packed with plenty of cool, but accessible, tools. It’s simple enough to use for beginning editors, while functioning as a rich video editor for those with more creative aspirations. Check out our new SHAREfactory video that provides a walkthrough of what you can expect:

• Automatic Pre-download: No more waiting until after a game is released to start downloading select pre-ordered games from PlayStation Store. This new feature allows you to get to your games faster by automatically downloading select pre-ordered games up to several days in advance of the release, so that it’s ready to play as soon as the game is released on launch day. There’s also a countdown timer prior to the release of the game so you’ll know how soon your game will be available for you to start playing.

• Option to Disable HDCP for Games: This highly requested feature will allow you to have the option to turn off HDCP for games so you can capture longer gameplay sessions directly from your HDMI output and export them elsewhere.

• USB Export Option for Captured Gameplay: It’s now even easier to show off your heroic gaming moments and the SHAREfactory videos you create with the world using this feature to export your videos and screenshots to a USB drive. Just click on the DualShock 4 SHARE button, save your gameplay on a USB drive, and then share your proudest achievements on other social networks and other video platforms.

• Live Broadcasting in HD and Archiving Support: We’ve increased the resolution for live broadcasts so you and your friends can watch games livestreamed in 720p HD. You can also archive your broadcasts on Twitch or Ustream and watch them again later.

• New SHARE Options: We’ve got a number of new SHARE settings that will give you better control of what you want to share with your friends.

• New DualShock 4 Options: New light bar settings have been added for DualShock 4, allowing you to change it to Bright, Medium or Dim in the Settings menu. The touchpad has also been updated, allowing you to navigate the on-screen keyboard using the DualShock 4 touchpad.

• New Friends Options: It’s now easier to find Friends and send requests with the ability to search Friends-of-Friends, view Mutual Friends on another user’s profile, and accept Friend requests directly from the Friends list.

• New Trophies Sort Option: You can now sort Trophies by rarity in the Options menu.

• PlayStation Store Payment Support: Similar to PS3, we’re introducing Alternative Payment Methods (APMs) for PS4 for content purchased on PS Store, starting with PayPal support.

• More PlayStation Camera Commands: More voice commands are added to PlayStation Camera, allowing you to launch the apps installed on your PS4 with the sound of your voice.

• New PlayStation Plus Icon: For Plus members, you’ll now have the PS Plus icon appear next to your SEN ID on the login screen, home screen and other areas across the PS4 system’s sleek user interface.

• Music Unlimited SHARE Options: With a Music Unlimited subscription, you can easily share your favorite songs with your friends by pressing the SHARE button on your DualShock 4.

PlayStation Vita v3.15 Update

• PS4 Link Update for Remote Play: Linking your PS4 and PS Vita together will now be easier with the 3.15 update for PS Vita. It’ll enable Automatic Device Registration, which will automatically detect and pair both systems when they’re both online and the same user is signed in to both devices. This makes it even quicker for you to get started on Remote Play or access other second screen features.

PlayStation App v1.70 Update

• Push Notifications, Friend Requests and More: This new PlayStation app update will give you the option to receive Push Notifications for select PS4 updates you want to receive, such as gameplay Invitations, Game Alerts or Friend Requests. You can also receive Friend Requests via email or text messages with the app update. Also, it’s now easier to change your profile picture right from your mobile device by uploading an image from your photo library, or taking a photo using your in-device camera.

We can’t wait until the software updates are released so you can start enjoying all of these great features. In particular, I look forward to seeing your SHAREfactory videos and seeing all the creative ways you can make your gameplay moments memorable.

Let’s keep the conversation going – we love getting feedback from you and seeing what else we can come up with to continue making PlayStation 4 the best place to play. Please let us know and we’ll continue to always serve up great content and features to you – the gamer.

PS4手柄藏玄机 部分设计或为虚拟现实头盔（Project Mopheus）准备

　　今年的开发者大会上，索尼发布了虚拟现实头盔Project Morpheus，很多人以为这款头盔将会配合PS4手柄DualShock4给玩家们带来更好的游戏体验，不过事实可能恰恰相反，有消息显示，DualShock4的一些设计最初可能已经考虑到VR计划，并配合VR头盔做了相关的改动。

　　日前索尼公司的Jed Ashforth在接受采访时透露，在DualShock4的设计过程中，Morpheus团队因为一些不能透露的原因坚持要在手柄里加入一个发光条，即使发布了Project Morpheus，他们也依然对此事保持沉默。

　　当然这对索尼来说不能算是新奇了，索尼的不少新技术都是靠主机打探市场的，比如说PS3的蓝光光驱。

PS4手柄炫彩灯条不能完全关闭 索尼自曝相应原因

　　 索尼在PS4最新的1.70版固件中带来了DualShock 4手柄的灯条（Lightbar）亮度调节功能，从而为手柄节省不少电量。不过有些玩家依旧不知足，抱怨官方为什么不提供彻底关闭灯条的选项。对此，索尼电脑娱乐欧洲公司资深设计师Jed Ashforth表示，PS4灯条不让关闭是有隐情的，这个灯条其实是为Project Morpheus虚拟现实眼镜特意准备的。

　　根据Jed Ashforth的介绍，Project Morpheus工作时需要手柄灯条的配合，因此DualShock 4手柄的灯条才被设计为不能彻底关闭。

　　至于不早宣布这个原因，Jed Ashforth解释道碍于之前Project Morpheus项目的保密性，自己没法这样想玩家解释。

　　不过除了与Project Morpheus配合之外，DualShock 4手柄的灯条还可以供PlayStation Camera判断玩家位置和身份。
