Sony's new PlayStation 4 will focus on streaming games across a network of devices and tapping into social gaming, executives said today.
This means faster downloading times, video clip share buttons, and the ability to take over a friend's controller when they are in need of assistance, the company highlighted at its event in New York today.
Mark Cerny, the lead system architect for
PS4, said the console system's OnLive network will have a seamless upload experience. This means players can start playing the first part of a game before it is done downloading.
Additionally, PS4 boasts integration third party and services, phones, and
tablets -- you'll be able to use your smartphone to view gameplay videos and challenge friends.
Along with Cerny's announcement, Sony featured cloud-gaming firm Gaikai's contributions to PS4. Gaikai CEO Dave Perry said your friends will be able to virtually look over your shoulder and interact with you as you play, as well as post comments on their screens.
He said the network will actually learn from your behavior and give you a better experience.
"The PlayStation network will get to know you by understanding your preferences and the preferences of your community," he said.
