\nNew York City, New York, February 20, 2013<\/strong>\u2013 Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. (SCEI) today announced Wireless Controller for PlayStation\u00ae4 (DUALSHOCK\u00ae4) and PlayStation\u00ae4 Eye, a new camera, along with PlayStation\u00ae4 (PS4\u2122), its next generation computer entertainment system. <\/p>\n

Wireless Controller for PlayStation\u00ae4 (DUALSHOCK\u00ae4)<\/h3>\n

Utilizing a similar design as the popular Wireless Controller for PlayStation\u00ae3(DUALSHOCK\u00ae3), DUALSHOCK\u00ae4 features new innovations to deliver better gaming experiences. DUALSHOCK\u00ae4 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. <\/p>\n

DUALSHOCK\u00ae4 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. <\/p>\n

In addition, DUALSHOCK\u00ae4 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.<\/p>\n

While integrating “SELECT” and “START” buttons on DUALSHOCK\u00ae3 Wireless controller into a new “OPTIONS button”, DUALSHOCK\u00ae4 is newly equipped with a “SHARE button” to further enhance PS4\u2019s 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\u00ae4 while PS4 is on standby or through a dedicated charging station. For convenience, DUALSHOCK\u00ae4 can also be charged with smartphone chargers via USB. <\/p>\n

During the creation of DUALSHOCK\u00ae4, 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. <\/p>\n

PlayStation\u00ae4 Eye <\/h3>\n

PlayStation\u00ae4 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\u00ae4 Eye to cut out the image of player from background, or to grasp players\u2019 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\u00ae4 Eye senses the color of DUALSHOCK\u00ae4\u2019s 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\u00ae4 Eye also supports PlayStation\u00aeMove motion controller. It detects the motion of PS Move more precisely, and reflects players\u2019 in-game motion more accurately than ever. <\/p>\n

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. <\/p>\n
