Launch of the PS4
The PS4 is scheduled to be launched
tomorrow November 15th. In preparation for the big launch some
stores will have a midnight launch tonight. Best Buy will be one of the stores
participating in the launch and they advised buyers to come very early
especially if they did not pre-order a PS4. They will process all of the
customers that pre-ordered a console before they process any of the customers
who are just looking to buy one.
The place to be will be a GameStop in San
Francisco, which will be holding a special event starting at 6 p.m. The event
will feature free food, giveaways, and playable demos. There is also a
launch going on at the Standard Hotel in New York City, which will be giving
out 444 PS4’s. The only problem with this launch is that a line has already
formed outside of the hotel with all kinds of crazy people who are excited to
get the gaming console.
Some key features on the PS4 include the new DualShock 4 controller, being able to play while downloading, and adding a second screen on either your iPhone or Android. Adding a second screen really comes in handy while playing games such as Madden and being able to call the plays through your phone or tablet will allow you to secretly call the play without your opponent seeing it. It can also be used to watch your kill/death ratio on shooting games.

The PS4 will be competing
with Microsofts Xbox One, which is $100 more expensive than the PS4 but
some people may see it worth it. Now we will just have to wait and see what
everyone else decides about the two devices. Which will be superior?
I am not much of a video game fan, but even I have to admit that being able to see your game, or in the Madden case, manage your NFL team would come in handy on your cell phone. I wonder why this wasn't thought of sooner when it came to designing games. I feel like Madden and other games like it would have reached greater popularity had their been multiple devices to use them. Nevertheless, maybe this means I will be better at my video game playing skills.
