Gamers, Get ready for PlayStation4 !!!

Sony is ready to launch its Playstation-4 on November 15, 2013. Although, the dates on which the gaming console will be launched in India are not yet disclosed. Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea and Taiwan will receive the PlayStation 4 this December. 

 And You Know What! Sony has already given a trial to the Japanese on its new console. That’s not fair :’(

The new and the most amazing feature of the PS4 is its CAMERA. The PlayStation 4 Camera will be for more than use during game play. The camera will allow the console’s owner to start up the system and log in using the Camera, something that brings a more integrated experience to the console over the last console.

Sony didn’t have much to say on this particular piece of hardware, but did go on to say that it also have VOICE RECOGNITION in addition to facial recognition.

The new Dualshock 4 controller will, in addition to having the buttons and functions of its predecessor, Dualshock 3, also have several new functions. It sports a multi-touch pad, which will allow actions such as pressing, flicking, pinching and twisting, similar to that on the PlayStation Vita. The Dualshock 4 controller will also feature a “Share” button, which allows you to capture content from your current games and more, and then share them with your friends or on social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter through the Share Menu.

And the question that all INDIAN gamers have in their minds is whether the old PS3 DVD’s work in the new console or not? The answer is YES! No need to spend on buying your favourite game DVD again for PS4. You can play your old games in this one.

It seems that Sony has planned quite a surprise for the Playstation fans as it is not disclosing the features right now. Well I hope the surprise is good enough to pull the gamers off the PS3 and XBOX 360.

PlayStation 4 will launch on November 15 in North America for $399(INR25,000 approx.), and on November 29 in Europe for €399(INR34,000 approx.) and £349(INR35,290 approx.) in the United Kingdom.

Now when Sony is launching its new PS, how can Microsoft not do anything about it?

Microsoft will launch its new gaming console, The XBOX ONE, just one week after the launch of PS4. Not much is disclosed about it either but vice president of marketing Yusuf Mehdi said "The Xbox One will have that much more power for developers to make their games and entertainment really shine."

The big battle between the leading game makers is on. No matter who wins, the only one benefitting from the fight will be the gamers.

So gamers, GAME ON!!  

Can Technology Impress The Voters?

Woke up this morning with a phone call from my friend Mahesh who had been waiting in Rajkot to see his favorite leader on beautiful misty morning in Gujrat. He tells me that the party workers have been working round the clock to ensure that crowds are well managed in Ahmadabad because the leader will soon be making a public appearance. He goes on to tell me how they are all working towards revamping how political appearances will be in future and how his favorite leader is the pioneer in this very aspect as well. He goes on to narrate that another party worker is in Vadodra to question the politician about his propaganda and another worker in Surat is also one of the many waiting to meet his idol. 

This phone call had me confused that unless his leader has got himself cloned who does he plan to address crowds in 4 different cities at the same. Never did I think that the Political rallies in the country where internet penetration is yet to be 50 % or we are yet to have 100% electricity coverage areas are now taking technological aide to address crowds to talk about development! Welcome to the technical side of politics (nothing is impossible in 21st century) 

Concept front runner Tech savvy CM of Gujarat, who delivered speech in 53 different locations in a day during Gujarat election. Gone are those days when leader had to visit their constitutional area or had to address public gathering in person to spread their views and opinion. Now they can have a 3D appearance in any part of the country and share their views with just a click.

I wont be surprised if next time around am witness the leader(s) chatting me up about economy, society, development & morality of being an Indian over a cup of tea while being beamed right in my living room!
