Sony Claim DualShock 4 to be Compatible With PC at Launch
Sony have declared that the PlayStation 4 controllers will be compatible with “basic features” with PC at launch. On Twitter a couple of days ago, Sony Worldwide Studios head Shuhei Yoshida said that the DualShock 4 “analog sticks and buttons will work just fine.” But, he didn’t happen to mention whether any support will be necessary to facilitate the compatibility. The PlayStation 3 controllers require third-party support in order to function. Although unlikely, nothing was said about whether the DualShock 4’s new features –– including a light bar, touch pad, and motion controls –– will function on Windows PCs, while several PlayStation 4 titles have already announced support for these features.

While this device has card slots for Vita games, and accepts Vita memory cards, it will also let you use video streaming services such as Hulu. It also allows...

VP of publisher and developer relations at SCEA, Adam Boyes told Game Informer that the a console version of the online game was only brought into the picture after Sony and Bethesda met on various occasions to discuss the idea. “That game was never planned to come to consoles,” Boyes said. “And we just kind of kept sitting with [Bethesda] and being like, ‘Why not?'” “They’re like, ‘We’re not planning it,'” he added. “And I’m like, ‘Well, what if we built a plan that we could do that?'” Sony was the one that kindled this interest that led to Bethesda to consider brin...

Hackers somehow used pre-loaded files from the PS3 version of the game to reveal story details. Sony were extremely apologetic for this foul up. Another incident that took place recently involved Sony Uk’s Twitter account which suggested that the game would also be coming to next-generation systems. The...
