"Sees the controller, you guys move, splitscreen moves to be on the right side. #GDC"

Huh? What?

Lets say you're split screening with a friend. You switch sides on the couch, and your sides of the screen swap.

Have to enable people seeing your real name on the #PS4. Auto-enabled if you import from another social network. (Can be turned off)

#PS4 RAISES THE PSN FRIEND LIMIT. #GDC

Thanks

"Sees the controller, you guys move, splitscreen moves to be on the right side. #GDC"

Presumably that means that if you're playing a game where the screen is split down the middle and I'm sitting to the left of you and looking at the left side of the screen, if we swap positions on the couch, the two halves of the screen swap positions on the TV too.

 

[Wynnebeck]

Cool, so I don't have to buy one with the PS4?

Lol you know what he meant.

 

[Fezzan]

So every PS4 comes with the eye but it's not mandatory to use it?

 

[Raist]

"Sees the controller, you guys move, splitscreen moves to be on the right side. #GDC"

Huh? What?

I'm guessing if you sit on the right hand side, your gameplay shows on the right hand side of the screen. If you swap seats, it swaps on the screen too.

Huh? What?

That is AWESOME

 

[Sykra]

"Sees the controller, you guys move, splitscreen moves to be on the right side. #GDC"

Huh? What?

It sounds like it will adjust the position of the screen in split-screen in regards to where you are playing, so if you are left of the screen you get the left screen regardless of whether you are player 1 or 2.

 

[Willy Wanka]

Are we going to get videos of any of this stuff? Some of it sounds cool. Also, he didn't say it but I get the impression the camera will be in the box.

 

[Felix Lighter]

Using Visual Studio 2010 for PS4 development? How was the IDE for the PS3?

 

[SolsticeZero]

So every PS4 comes with the eye but it's not mandatory to use it?

Seems that way. Seems like Sony is giving the devs a lot of control on what they want and don't want to use.

 

[ascii42]

Live area is an interesting concept on the Vita, but one that needs more refinement. Will be interesting to see how far they have come with it.

One thing that should help is that the PS4 will automatically connect to the Internet, as opposed to the Vita which only connects when it has to.

#PS4 Controller buttons are going back to digital over analog because no one used it on PS3. #GDC

Hideo Kojima on sudoku watch.

Actually, MGS4 didn't bother with it. But really, MGS2 and MGS3 were pretty much the only games that mandated the use of analog buttons.

 

[NotLiquid]

What? Didn't GT5 use analog buttons?

Oh what the hell. I want my analog triggers, man.

 

[Violater]

Why isn't this a livestream?
Sigh..

 

[Dead Prince]

All the #PS4 streaming and sharing: that's on the hardware. Devs don't have to do anything special to their game. #GDC

good. it was a shame with ps3 they weren't ready for all this.

 

[JCizzle]

Really love the focus on the gamer & developers first and foremost - I hope Microsoft follows suit with the same messaging.

 

[Dragon]

Seems that way. Seems like Sony is giving the devs a lot of control on what they want and don't want to use.

Luckily that doesn't apply to sharing really: Greg Miller ‏@GameOverGreggy 1m

Remote play for #PS4 games is BOTH via local network and/or Internet.

 

[Killthee]

They've only confirmed a headset being included in every system. Guessing they're waiting on MS to announce pricing before committing to bundling the camera.

[outunderthestars]

Since they are talking to developers, I assume they mean that developers don't have to use it.

 

[TimeEffect]

^ thanks

Thought it meant the screen could actually show fullscreen somehow like those 3D TV's -_-

Real names mandatory? Come on, I dont like that one bit

 

[Rösti]

Are we going to get videos of any of this stuff? Some of it sounds cool. Also, he didn't say it but I get the impression the camera will be in the box.

It's not recorded for the GDC Vault anyway, so if we are going to get some videos it will probably be directly from Sony.

 

[SolsticeZero]

Triggers will be analog. The face buttons won't be anymore, though.

 

[phosphor112]

GENIUS.

Oh my God. It's so simple it's brilliant.

 

[Vanillalite]

Hey, so am I! (@pikoeri)

I just saw Gregg's post first sorry, but I added you to the OP!

 

[L1NETT]

Lots of good stuff here, especially the steaming stuff.

 

[Baleoce]

Yup, the previous response just goes to show how few people even knew the face buttons on PS3 were analogue xD A shame.

Example of #PS4 social gaming: in games with choice, show what choices your friends made in-game.

Interesting, but hopefully you can choose not to see choices you haven't made yet, to avoid spoilers.

 

[PhantomOfTheKnight]

#PS4 Remote Play: Screens are mirrored on PS4/Vita (Both on at same time). Hardware does it/not on devs. Start at any time; no special mode.

Cool.

 

[Hung_real]

Controllers on #PS4 can be attached to a user, not just the system.

gamechanger

 

[Baconsammy]

not mandatory though

Yeah, so Sony manages to split the userbase right out of the gate. That's just dumb. They have a chance at the start of the generation to offer one unified solution. To split it now is just stupid. Come on, Sony. Learn from your own past.

 

[sinseers]

This is awesome.

welcome to xbox 360 in 2005...

"Sees the controller, you guys move, splitscreen moves to be on the right side. #GDC"

WHOA. That's a really cool feature.

 

[BruceLeeRoy]

Ha I love this:

Sony employees walked the floor beaming, playing games, talking to the press, and introducing everyone to developers. They're not co-opting indie culture as much as they're becoming entrenched in it. Everyone I spoke to seemed to be a true believer.

Still no confirmation if the PS4 has a dedicated Wireless-N radio like the WiiU does

 

[Willy Wanka]

Oh well. Hopefully we get some scraps later on

you overthought it. It'll be just this gen with move. Whoever wants to use it will use it, whoever wont wont. Because it's not forced (so far), the overwhelming majority will not use it. There zero wrong with making the use of the eye for devs optional.

 

[Dragon]

That's a really good point. Time to tweet that at yosp!

This is Sony we're talking about, if anything they'll inexplicably support AC.

 

[Canis lupus]

Finally don't have to delete people to make room for new people on my friendlist!

 

[surly]

Seems that way. Seems like Sony is giving the devs a lot of control on what they want and don't want to use.

Which is one of the reasons why the PS3 was such a clusterfuck when it came to consistency (or lack thereof). Hopefully the basics like mute, cross-game invites, custom soundtracks etc. are at least standard features this time though.

 

[SolsticeZero]

My hype levels are reaching critical mass with this.

At PS4 dev talk. Platform is 64-bit x86. Dev environment is Win7 64-bit VS2010, LLVM/Clang with C++11 support. Wow, yes please.

good news

 

[ascii42]

^ thanks

I interpreted that as meaning the opposite. It's disabled by default, you have to enable it (if you want to)

 

[Trey]

PS4 is shaping up nicely.

@GameOverGreggy

#PS4 Remote Play: Screens are mirrored on PS4/Vita (Both on at same time). Hardware does it/not on devs. Start at any time; no special mode.

Very happy about that. It's only down to the devs to make a suitable control scheme then.

Awesome news.

 

[Audioboxer]

I wonder why no audio/video? All the details are going to get posted anyway...

 

[dragonflys545]

Hnnnnng these news are soooo juicy.

 

[Coolwhip]

WHOA. That's a really cool feature.

Really? How often is that useful?
