Sony announces the PS4 for Holiday 2013

Yesterday, Sony officially unveiled its PS4. The console will feature 8 GB of memory, an x86-64 AMD "Jaguar" 8 core processor, an AMD Radeon-based "next-gen" GPU, a "large" built-in hard drive, Bluray, and all that jazz. Sony-owned Gaikai is present in a major way with remote-play, instant streaming of your game play, and instant access to game demos from the store, among other things. A new Killzone and inFamous were announced, along with a new IP called Knack. Third party contributions include a new IP from Capcom Deep Down, a Diablo 3 port from Blizzard, Jonathan Blow's The Witness and Bungie's new persistent world FPS RPG Destiny.

Discuss this and other Sony news in the Bosskey forums! Stay tuned for more articles about the PS4 and the next generation of consoles in the near future.

The dream for a perfect console-like device

Last week, the indie console Ouya’s Kickstarter campaign ended with 63,416 backers contributing $8,596,475. Double Fine’s famously successful Kickstarter made $3,336,372 with 87,142. Both projects exceeded their funding goals by more than 800%. Their consumers’ voices have been heard, loudly, and the demand for these products is certain.

I want Ouya, and I don’t. I’ve backed it twice, withdrawing my support hours later each time. It hints at a variety of functions that appeal to me, but it doesn’t deliver the full package.

Valve just announced a new big-picture mode that allows you to operate Steam without a keyboard or mouse — basically it’s Steam for the home theater PC (HTPC).

I have a dream device. It’s a Steam-based console, built small, cheaply, with enough power to handle modern games, and includes a TV-friendly interface. It also plays movies. It uses a controller. It’s a gaming HTPC. Valve would likely never release such a device, but with the new mode, there is some hope for the dream...
