In some places around the world the PS4 has been announced with confirmed release dates. Canada and the US will be able to enjoy the PS4 on Novemeber 15th of 2013, while other regions of the world are able to experience it a couple of weeks after. The announcement was made by Sony during their press conference at Gamescom 2013.

The company states that by the end of this year the Playstation 4 is going to have thirty three titles to choose from, such as NBA 2k14, Skylanders Swap Force, Call of Duty: Ghosts, Madden 25, FIFA 14, Battlefield 4, NBA Live, Need for Speed: Rivals, DRIVECLUB, Knack, Killzone: Shadow Fall, Watch Dogs, Just Dance 2014 and Assassins Creed IV: Black Flag and LEGO Marvel Super Heroes.

The Playstation 4 isn't going to be launched throughout all countries expected for its release on the same day. In fact Japan is getting the Playstation 4 released to their country after the North American launch date. One hundred and eighty PS4 titles are in development as outlined by Sony, therefore a huge selection of games should follow in the year following the release. Since June 2013, the amount of developers together increased from 500 to just about 620.

Video game streaming continues to be huge and Sony plans to make it well-known using their PS4 via Twitch. twitch.tv has been a well known streaming platform for video gamers since its release in 2011, to this date gathering together millions of viewers every month.

PS4 users can transmit very easily through their channel on Twitch TV in real time to video game followers worldwide, by simply pushing the 'SHARE' button on the wireless DUALSHOCK4 controller . You do not need to pay anything to stream your games, it'll all be readily available for totally free for all PS4 users.

unfortunately existing gen PSN game titles will not transfer over to the PS4 but they will try to make a few digital titles playable. Different architectures of each console makes it hard to port over video games from one to the other. Sony is giving free Playstation store codes to those people which have either pre-ordered the Playstation 4 or have previously made large purchases on the PSN Store.

PS4 has planned a brand new 3D virtual reality display. This amazing news will probably be released at the Tokyo Game Show 2013, a gaming event that occurs in Tokyo, Japan.

The PS4’s new controller; the DUALSHOCK4, comes with new added features as well as some minor ergonomic upgrades. It will feel very familiar to the PS3’s controller so there won’t be any learning curve at all.

A great feature is the voice commands it will recognize. The PlayStation Camera includes mics that understand voice commands from the player and perform certain actions that require it. From the voice commands for navigation to facial recognition, PlayStation Camera offers awesome enhancements for the user experince! These additional features are comparable to the Xbox One’s Kinect.

The one thing you will notice the most from the Playstation 4 is its fresh look, it's bold and in your face, having clean lines and pointed corners, you won’t find any smooth curves on this console. There's even the new Playstation Pro which supports 4K resolution. Compared to the Playstation 3, it’s more modern and techy looking. Like earlier next gen console releases, it looks big and bulky. The central processing unit is an AMD x86 with eight cores, a graphics chip built-in with the central processing unit, 8 gb GDDR5 ram unified (against 512 MB of the Playstation 3), an embedded 500GB disk drive, Blu-ray reader and more.

Some other details you may want to know:

If you intend to play older Playstation games, including anything from the PS3, you'll have to play them thru Playstation’s cloud.

The DualShock 4 controller includes a touch pad in the middle, plus a share button and also a lightbar that moves along with your actions, like the Playstation Move.

Two cams are equipped on the PS4's camera, as well as a set of mics.

Your iPad, Android OS tablet, and Playstation Vita offers you the option of using a “second screen” that will allow you to get more out of the game through rapidly viewing stats, quests, etc.

An exclusive bonus to those who have pre-ordered the Playstation 4 is a choice of PSN codes for free or a video game of their choice.
