Sony PlayStation 4 : Review
Sony first announced its next -generation consoles earlier this year , during a press conference in New York in February , and console gaming is concentrated on the ability of the PlayStation 4 . Each launch at Gamescom later events such as E3 , the console appears reinforce the message that this is really a game machine . It is the most powerful console ever and you can enjoy the best gaming experience from the console .
At the same time , Microsoft has been showing off its Xbox One , rival machines that promise similar capabilities , except to emphasize the entertainment a little more interesting .
Currently looking forward to the launch of the console by a margin of two weeks and still retain the initial philosophy . With the PlayStation 4 , Sony , releasing a console game " monster " . But if you want to look for something more than that , well ...
Sony PlayStation 4 : Design
By the term " monster " that we refer to the ability reliable . The exterior design of the console is not as well of the development of his ability . This console is the engine cool , sleek look that is not strange is placed on top and inside the closet audiovisual . This console is continuing the tradition of the design since the PlayStation 2 , as well as the ability of the console to be placed vertically - though to make it more stable , you need to buy the stand separately . In our eyes , the console does not stand up straight , but at least there are options .
We welcome new feature is the power units included in the PS4 , despite having a relatively slim aesthetic form . Its main rival , the Xbox One , equipped with Microsoft's adapter that requires extra space . Require only Sony console connector , the same type of cable that you would normally use with a DVD or Blu - ray player .
Black design with two- tone dull and shiny plastic , also a nice touch . And the LED lights that are extending from the top, front to rear, useful to tell you the status of the console . You certainly will not accidentally leave the console is turned on , so you can see the condition of the console through the LED lights .
PlayStation 4 Console
: HardwareHardware in the PlayStation 4 confirms the advantages of a more promising future . Yes , you can assemble a PC that is more powerful than the PS4 , but to assemble a PC with ordinary skills valued around 1,600 U.S. dollars ( about Rp18 , 9 million ) , let alone to assemble a super-powerful PC . While only one-third the price of the PS4 , but with an impressive device . PS4 console has an 8- core AMD processor Jaguar x86 , 8GB of GDDR5 RAM and AMD Radeon graphics chips (customized ) with shaders 1.152 to 1.84 TFLOPS per second at peak output .
For many people , it's just going to sound like a quote Mr . Spock from Star Trek script 1960s , but the intention is to potentially make the PS4 console gaming with 1080p resolution and at 60 frames per second . With the advantages that this console can display sharper images and smoother than you ever had before .
In addition , thanks to his extra strength , some specific effects that are not owned by the PlayStation3 will appear on the PS4 . One of the effects of smoke and particles in the air . And the effects of polygons and a more composed at the same time . One advantage is the viewpoint of the game even further .
Examples are in the exclusive game Kilzone Shadow Fall PS4 . There was a time in the early part where you stand on the balcony and could see the whole city with high detail - it goes as far as your eyes can see . While the PS3 , developers must set a certain distance jelly , may obscure the view of the fog . Notice how some buildings sometimes appear suddenly in the game , if you pay attention to the buildings on the PS3 or Xbox 360 . It is not required on the PS4 .
Inside the console there is also a hard drive ( HDD ) 500GB . Sony carefully designing their hardware that allows the user to swap the hard disk with larger models and more quickly , because we all need to install games to the HDD even if you play it from the disk . Considering that games like Killzone takes up about 40GB or more , and technically there is only 408GB of memory available after deducting the software system and other programs needed , which makes your hard drive full speed . A 1TB drive is compatible not too expensive only about 80 or Rp938 thousand dollars so you can add external memory .
Connection to the Internet can be made via Ethernet ( wired devices ) or Wi - Fi , but Wi - Fi seems to be stronger .
Unlike the Xbox One , you will not get on the PlayStation 4 Camera in the crib , it will add an extra cost of 72 dollars Amerika/Rp844ribu . But we recommend to have one of them , as it will add some features that are not available without it .
Sony PlayStation 4 : Control
With each generation of PlayStation , Sony only make small changes to the original DualShock controller concept , adding vibration or wireless connectivity . But the DualShock controller 4 on the PlayStation 4 is quite exceptional for the company . DualShock 4 which basically has the same shape , though much larger , also has many improvements and additions compared to its predecessor , including the power of a much larger response to the thumbsticks ( keys ) , with some of the main things that stand out .
At the top of the pad there is a feature box that serves as a touch panel . How do these panels are used in a game depends on the developer, but it will recognize the touch panel to add different elements in the process . There is also a large LED panel on the top side of the gamepad . The panel can change the colors , so developers can use it in their games to show a warning light or something . But we have to see them kind of innovation in the future . For now , its main function is indicating where the controller is used and played by the players .
If you have a PlayStation Camera , then you will be able to log in to your PSN account and can mark colors for your controller . If there are other players in the same room , then they will also choose the color of the controller , as long as they access facial recognition .
When you buy a PS4 you will only get one DualShock controller 4 - unless you choose to package other purchases - so for starters you will not really explore this feature entirely .
The last big feature of the new controller is the Share button . Press this button once and you will be taken to a menu when sharing or sharing game in pause mode . Press a little longer and you will take a screenshot without interrupting the game . Or press twice quickly and you will save the last 15 minutes of game play in video form . Sharing menu basically allows you to do both of these things and then share them with the community .
Sony PlayStation 4 : User Interface
User Interface ( UI ) on PlayStation 4 is not for everyone . The surgery is really very simple and fun to use , but it just looks a little menu that is displayed so that you can membat think that there are only a few choices when it was not .
Like the old XrossMediaBar on the PS3 , PS4 main part of the UI is a vertical strip . But the details are just basic line of icons . Games and applications you use most recently played or will appear in the left and that's it . If you slide it up , you will find a selection of extras , such as access to PlayStation Store , your profile , your friends , your trophy and menu settings . And if you slide it down the middle of the icon bar you will see additional information about the application , network , or games , that you can use . For example , scroll down on the TV icon and you will see a list of applications that exist today .
Slide down the game icon and there will be new information about the order of the champion . You will be able to access the trophy or trophies that you've collected so far through certain games , content DLC (Downloadable Content / Content that can be downloaded ) extra available and all sorts of additional data . You can also see the splash screen . For example in the game Marvel Super Heroes Lego also accompanied by the song " Merry Marvel Marching Society " ( 1960 ) , a nice touch and encouraging for fans of comics .
The application is already in service Music Unlimited and Video Unlimited Sony . Critics will say that this is the reason behind the lack of some functions at launch , such as MP3 and CD players and DLNA media streaming , but we did not feel so . Sony will add features to it as soon as possible .
One great disappointment that we have with the device is a browser pre -Installed its pretty bad . With large competitors Xbox One, featuring the full experience through Internet Explorer , the browser seems to use the PS4 is already in the previous generation machine .
The browser on the previous generation of quite complicated and stiff to use . Internet device is also slow , which is not acceptable for this sophisticated hardware . Yes hopefully Sony will add to its Internet software to the list of future needs.
PlayStation 4 Console : The game
When Sony's PlayStation 4 are being displayed as its flagship console , at least at launch , you would expect it will be seen from the beginning . Indeed, it happens , but only slightly . Most of the majority of those games that we 've heard about for nearly a year unfortunately failed to materialize for the actual launch , as promised as part of a " limited launch period " that lasted until the end of March 2014 . Watch Dogs and DriveClub are two of the most prominent games of those games that do not appear in the launch of the PS4 .
In contrast , in the case of exclusive game titles , PS4 appearing with Killzone Shadow Fall and Knack . Both look amazing amazing , but failed to reach the expected level of the games in a variety of levels .
Killzone is a game that looks fantastic that will make your friends say " wow " . However , game - genre first-person shooter that , although pleasant , a little monotonous . Knack is a platform game which seems strange not been completed and in a hurry . This game is also too difficult for the children , although the theme and look of the picture seems to show that this game is aimed at the audience .
Fortunately , game titles from third-party ( game developers for various consoles ) came to the rescue , giving you plenty of options ahead of the Christmas holiday . Call of Duty : Ghosts , Assassin 's Creed IV : Black Flag , Lego Marvel Super Heroes and FIFA 14 all wonderful , with both previous games also displays 1080p display that will not be found in all other formats .
There are also a variety of exclusive PS4 games available for download via the PlayStation Store , with a shooting game, retro style is very Resogun that literally shook , Contrast and more interesting , the game with the other usual platform , available for download free of charge for members of PlayStation Plus .
Sony PlayStation : additional games
PlayStation Plus is a powerful weapon in the next generation console war . Like the Xbox Live Gold for Xbox One , PS Plus membership is very important if you want to play multiplayer games on the PS4 . The membership subscription will cost either U.S. $ 6.55 ( approximately Rp76.648 ) per month or U.S. $ 65 ( about Rp760.630 ) per year . But unlike Xbox Live Gold , as usually you also get a tremendous advantage other than Sony's membership scheme .
Those who have a PlayStation 3 or PS Vita PlayStation Plus membership comes already knew that it allows them to access membership games for free . Each month , a variety of games with the best quality , which previously sold available for download free of charge . And those games are still free as long as you still extend your Plus membership .
Other remarkable benefits in PS Plus membership is the membership function of cross platform . So if you have a PS Vita , PS3 and PS4 now , you will be able to download all the games on offer every month for the entire console you have. It's a way to build a good library of games without any additional fees . Only a few several lucrative offers in addition to the PS Plus membership .
Sony PlayStation 4 : The second screen
Another reason you may want to have the PS Vita is the PlayStation 4 is the perfect complement . By using the function as a remote control of the game , you can pair it to the PS4 console by using an app on the Vita and the display will show you the latest generation of the console .
Most games can be played streaming of PS4 to Vita screen . Much like the Wii U GamePad , it's just a smaller zoom . The device that lets you play games in the same room or another if someone else wants to watch TV shows .
Not pause delay we found and the only caveat is all the text that usually appear normal in the game can be difficult to read for those who have limited vision . However, as a feature , it's a bonus that this time we could not do it without the device .
If you do not intend to buy the PS Vita then you can still use a smartphone or tablet computer Android or iOS you to interact with the console . PlayStation App is available on both the app store and allow access to view the details of your friends , trophies and can double as a second screen for games and applications specific PS4 . In a way, this feature is very similar to the Xbox SmartGlass and their use will be fully apparent from time to time .
Sony PlayStation 4 : Assessment
There are many who like the PlayStation 4 . It is a powerful game console and large with a number of important features that will keep gamers very happy . But this time it feels like a console running processes .
There are many things that made its predecessor so far are not able to run by the PS4 . Sony claims that it wants to get the right aspect of the game and follow it with a software update to include additional features , but it seems its main competitors are already doing exactly that from the outset .
We use a PS3 that we have for media streaming , listening to music , watching movies with Blu- rays and 3D formats and many more , as well as the options are not available to us at this time . A console for the living room in the current era should be able to do more than just play the game and this time we did not feel we were more supportive than the previous Sony consoles latest . We will find space in the closet for both the console and use both interchangeably for different things .
But the plus side , PS4 console is full of potential . We have no doubt that Sony will add and fix the things that we highlight , and games that will soon appear certainly looks very nice - for example we can not wait for infamous Second Son .
And just think about what would likely happen within the next two or three years . If the game - the game looks good at the moment , the games it will be a spectacular future . And the true charm of the PS 4 will emerge from behind his form .
