Press Release
Wireless Controller for
PlayStation®4 (DUALSHOCK®4)
Utilizing a similar design as the
popular Wireless Controller for PlayStation®3(DUALSHOCK®3),
DUALSHOCK®4 features new innovations to deliver better gaming
experiences. DUALSHOCK®4 incorporates a new highly sensitive
six-axis sensor, as well as a touch pad located on the front of
the controller, which offers gamers completely new ways to play
and interact with games.
DUALSHOCK®4 features a light bar on
the top with three color LEDs that illuminate in various colors.
The light bar illuminates to match the color of characters in a
game to offer a simpler, more friendly way to identify players,
even when playing side by side. The light bar also changes
patterns during gameplay to provide useful information to gamers,
such as when a character is critically low on health or has taken
major damage.
In addition, DUALSHOCK®4 will come
with a built-in speaker and stereo headset jack, enabling PS4
users to enjoy high-fidelity sound effects of games from both the
TV and also from the controller. Combined with the Mono Headset
that will be bundled with PS4, gamers will also be able to chat
with friends playing online, while hearing sound effects from the
controller in hand.
While integrating "SELECT"
and "START" buttons on DUALSHOCK®3 Wireless Controller
into a new "OPTIONS button", DUALSHOCK®4 is newly
equipped with a "SHARE button" to further enhance PS4's
social capabilities. The "SHARE button" allows gamers to
easily broadcast their gameplay in real-time to friends through
internet streaming services such as Ustream. Users can also share
their triumphs and accomplishments by uploading video gameplay to
Facebook with the "SHARE button". Unlike streaming
content via PC, users no longer have to convert data formats of
their recorded gameplay, but can share it with ease. Additionally,
gamers can charge DUALSHOCK®4 while PS4 is on standby or through
a dedicated charging station. For convenience, DUALSHOCK®4 can
also be charged with smartphone chargers via USB.
During the creation of DUALSHOCK®4,
Sony Computer Entertainment worked with key partners in the
development community to improve the feel of the left / right
sticks and the trigger buttons, the result is a much tighter sense
of control over in-game actions.
PlayStation®4 Eye
PlayStation®4 Eye, a newly
developed camera for PS4 incorporates two high-sensitive cameras
that have wide-angle lenses with 85-degree diagonal angle views
which can recognize the depth of space precisely. This enables
PlayStation®4 Eye to cut out the image of the player from the
background, or to grasp players' position in front and behind,
further broadening the ways to enjoy games. Incorporated four
microphones are also capable of accurate sound detection and
source origination. In addition, users will be able to login to
their PS4 with face recognition and are capable of using their own
body movements or voices to enjoy games more intuitively.
Furthermore, PlayStation®4 Eye senses the color of DUALSHOCK®4's
light bar to judge the positions of multiple players, and set
characters in the same positions or let a character talk to a
particular player, enabling players to enjoy games in new way.
PlayStation®4 Eye also supports PlayStation®Move motion
controller. It detects the motion of PS Move more precisely, and
reflects players' in-game motion more accurately than ever.
SCE will announce new details of PS4
and its robust lineup of games from 3rd party developers and
publishers, the independent gaming community and SCE Worldwide
Studios, as well as further enhancements to the entire PlayStation
ecosystem between now and the holiday 2013 launch.
