Sony PS4 detailed graphic evaluation-strong performance start without regret! Let go of that purse.

With the official listing of Sony PlayStation 4 (hereinafter referred to as PS4) mainframe, a new round of game host war officially kicked off. There is no doubt that the more powerful performance, the better multiplayer online game standards, and multitasking features than the 7 years ago, PS3,PS4, what exactly would it give us to improve the game experience, or first look at the test content ...

It seems that we are more tolerant of the industrial design of game consoles, and they do not have to be as frivolous and portable as the latest smartphone or tablet, after all, the game hosts will basically lie on the TV cabinet at home. PS4 shape design is not a breakthrough, but can be said to be a type, 305*275 * 53 mm measurements size than the original model PS3 to a slightly smaller, lighter weight, you can guarantee that in the next few years, there will be a new thin money appears.

As for style, it is clear that Sony is familiar with the design of audio and video, entertainment products, so that PS4 looks more modern, this is more than the rough and unruly Xbox series more like. So you put PS4 on any flat-screen TV, you don't feel discordant. As with PS3, PS4 can be made to stand up, of course, if you want to erect, you need to spend about 150 extra dollars to buy a bracket, you can make it more stable.

The PS4 Tilt front Panel has more designs, including an embedded Blu-ray drive (which supports 6-speed Blu-ray reading, 8-speed DVD reads), and two USB connectors to charge the handles and other devices. The rear of the fuselage is designed with HDMI interface, Ethernet interface and auxiliary cable for PS camera accessories, while wireless supports 802.11 b/g/n (not the most advanced AC) and Bluetooth 2.1.

Previously, PS3 unique architecture of the "Cell" processor scare away a lot of game developers, and its game development costs are far higher than the same period of Xbox 360, so Sony to the bitter experience, for PS4 selected the mainstream X86 architecture, 8 core AMD "Jaguar" processor and Radeon graphics, This hardware design is very similar to high-end PCs, so there is basically no obstacle to developing games for PS4. In addition, Sony in order to make PS4 more functional, or to the full cost, the use of expensive GDDR5 memory standards, this is to lead the Xbox one of the GDDR3. Sony official claimed that the function of PS4 is more than 10 times times the PS3, of course, if you want to be fully reflected in the game, but also need to give game developers some time mining functions.

In most cases, the PS4 can be run quietly, the fuselage temperature is slightly warm, but not overheating. In addition, now you can choose to install all the game data from the CD to the hard drive, so the noise of the optical drive can basically be ignored.

There is no doubt that Sony PS series DualShock handle is the industry recognized the best game controller, after three generations of development, in the feel, weight, key layout has done a perfect, then the fourth generation DualShock 4, nature to have more functional breakthroughs. First of all, the vibration motor and tilt sensor more accurate, according to the game needs to achieve a more exquisite expression; In addition, we can see the DualShock 4 handle added microphone, headphone interface, touch pad and other new design.

DualShock 4 handle on the top of the trackpad for the game to add a new mode of operation, can be implemented in the game a rapid pattern switching, intuitive, responsive, with great potential. The Sharing button next to the touchpad is the embodiment of PS4 's new social function, where you can live the game or upload video clips of the game and share the best moments with more friends.

Finally, in terms of endurance, the DualShock 4 handle can basically achieve 5 hours of wireless use, with the former to be flat. But now we can use the standard MICRO-USB interface for its charging, PS4 host also added "standby charging" function, do not need to power on the battery.

After the release of PS4, the first system patch V1.50, because the previous version has no software features, including Blu-ray playback, PSN access, PS store, streaming media and so on. After the upgrade, you can use the. The upgrade pack is about 300 MB and needs to be restarted after installation, which may take about 20 minutes before you can create or use an existing PSN account to log in.

PS4 new user interface with a "home screen" concept, using a brick-like arrangement similar to Windows 8, each brick has more choice content optional. For example, choose a game, you will see the corresponding social, optional items, and so on, but also has a new "flow" option to show you and friends of the recent PSN activities. In addition, your most recently used items will be arranged on the leftmost side of the screen, except that the game can be a variety of installation applications. After you insert the game disc, it will automatically be installed into the fuselage of the 500GB hard drive, also downloaded in the PS store game is the same, these games will always reside in the main screen interface of the primary content area, we are slightly worried that if the game is more and more, this part will appear a bit confusing.

As for the other settings, the interface is similar to the previous XMB interface, listing the host settings, trophies and some software content, etc., it is not difficult to use.

Finally, PS game operators use a better sidebar navigation interface, making the entire browsing experience very intuitive. In addition, the game content is basically also can buy through the store to download, do not have to buy a disc. The game authorization mechanism is still a PSN account game can be installed on up to two PS4.

Currently, PS4 has Music Unlimited, Hulu Plus, Netflix and other online streaming media or video software, with Music Unlimited a 30-day free trial to download MP3 music. Basically, these non-native services don't have much practical significance for domestic users.

Unsurprisingly, the PS4 built-in Web browser is no easier to use than other game consoles, mainly using handle operations still can not be compared with the keyboard and mouse, even if the PS4 added the handle tilt move cursor new features, experience improvements are still a drop in the bucket. However, in the era of the popularity of smartphones and tablets, do you still need to use PS4 connected to the Internet?

PS4 can achieve more perfect remote control and data sharing with PS Vita, including games, music, PS stores, messages, and so on, and can also use voice commands, or share Ustream broadcasts. In addition, some specific games, PS Vita can also be used as a PS4 second screen to achieve better touch operation effect. The connection mode is implemented via WIFI, so it is very stable and smooth.

As for the sharing function, you can easily upload the video in the game, simply by clicking on the Share button on the handle. This feature allows you to record a 15-minute game screen and upload it to Facebook, which is very handy for making raiders and teaching videos. In addition, holding down the share button also enables screenshots to be shared on Facebook or Twitter, although not as exciting, but as a practical little feature. Game Live is the most powerful PS4 sharing feature, you can directly share the content of the game online, as if creating a dedicated game channel, and through the camera or microphone to comment. In all, the sharing mechanism allows PS4 to frame a futuristic interactive gaming platform.

Obviously, PS4 's starting game camp is not very good, some games have landed PS3, such as the previous generation of host, the following simple for you to introduce.

Killzone:shadow Fall (Kill zone: Shadow Fall)

PS platform of the first FPS game, the overall quality is good, with excellent shadow and light performance, but the plot is relatively old-fashioned, but still is a standard.

Resogun (Photoelectric fighter)

This is a first-party shooting game, is basically showing off the function of PS4, need to operate a 2D spacecraft in a 3D world, the explosion style is very fierce. The price of this game is very low, it may be the first choice of PS4 players experience.

Knack

A full of childlike platform game, IGN comments are divided into 5.9, the game screen is excellent, but also full of some puzzle-type decryption elements, more suitable for the younger players.

Battlefield 4 (Battlefield 4)

EA Company's FPS design masterpiece, continued the series style, if you are a FPS core player, will not feel disappointed.

Assassin ' s Creed 4:black Flag (Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag)

The game on the PS3, Xbox 360 and other old hosts on sale, but on the PS4, the screen reached the true 1080P full HD level, although not exclusive, but it may be the PS4 of the initial stage of the most fun action game.

Prior to the release of PS4, Sony unveiled "PlayStation" official apps on IOS and Android platforms to visit the Sony Entertainment Network store to buy games and download it remotely via WiFi to the PS4 host. In addition, it includes user information, trophies, friends and many other information, which allows you to view the content on the phone. Finally, the most promising feature is to use the smartphone or tablet as the second screen of the PS4 to achieve a special operation in the game. But for now, we have not seen any games using this function, and hope to play a greater role in the future.

As a PS series player, personally think that the 7 years of waiting is worth it. The price of 400 dollars (about 2500 yuan) PS4 is an affordable, powerful new game host, the future of more of the masterpiece such as "God of War", "Final Fantasy" series is also very expected; The host's new handling and sharing features are also satisfying. But for domestic players, the mainstream seems to be still in the future, the whole game cost is undoubtedly higher. Players interested in PS4 may wish to focus on the Asian version of the December 18 release, with 23 games (including 7 traditional Chinese games) synchronized.
