Streaming on twitch. Playroom. Gimmicky voice controls. If you're into motion controls, you can look into support from competent motion gaming developers as well as a Skype app in the future. Or don't buy it; it is optional after all ;)

The PS Eye is not required for the gimmicky voice controls.



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

You should buy it because it works like a dream. It is absolute perfection and voice commands always work for me. I can't imagine ever using a console again without the features it adds. This is TRUE next generation functionality and you need to experience it to understand.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)     

    

Got a retro room? Post it here!

I'm trying to talk myself into getting it guys! just push me over the line!

Really... don't. I'm getting one, but it's basically for free. Also it's the "PlayStation Camera"

Here's what I think you can do with one

1) Use the move. Woo

2) Sony talked about options whereby it say the light bar on your controller and ensured that splitscreen splits would be on the right side. I haven't seen that in actual use, probably because nobody cares about splitscreen any more (though I did realise the other day that Uncharted 3 had it, well played Naughty Dog)

3) Voice commands, here's a decent video showing some examples. Note you can also do this with the headset http://www.computerandvideogames.com/440112/video-a-guide-to-ps4-voice-control/

4) Webcam if Skype does come to PS4... It probably won't but you can use it for things like twitch if you want your face while streaming

5) Can use face recognition to log you in. The Kinect can apparently do this in the dark by infrared, but I don't believe the Camera can replicate it. I haven't seen any video of this feature, but have read things saying it works well

Not really sure what else. I don't have my PS4 yet though, so haven't tested any of these things out. I don't really believe its enough to justify £45 when you could buy an extra controller or game for that amount
