Playstation 4 To Be Bundled With New PS Eye Camera According To Latest Rumor

According to a rumor reported by VGLeaks, the next gen Playstation 4 console by Sony expected to be announced on the 20th of February will come bundled with a new PS Eye Camera.

The new PS Eye camera is said to be called a “Dual Camera” and will be an evolved version of the former. The “Dual Camera” will have two wide angle 720p cameras “4 microphone array working at 48 khz,”. The camera will be used for video chat and will be able to log users into the Playstation like Microsoft’s Kinect does with the Xbox 360.

Just like the Kinect it will also be able to detect head and hand movement, if it can track rest of the body is not known as of now. Expect to hear more about it on the 20th if the Playstation 4 does get announced.

This Is The Alleged Playstation 4 Controller

Another day, another next gen console leak. Today we have two images of an alleged Playstation 4 controller which we personally think is the real thing.

The first image as you’ll see below is courtesy of the guys over at Destructoid. The image shows off the Playstation 4 controller which their sources claim is still a prototype. Behind the controller we have a big box with LEDs and whatnot, we think this is the Playstation dev kit probably still in beta. The controller as you can see is a radical change from the Dualshocks of the past.

The middle section of the controller now has a touch pad of sorts like the back of the PS Vita, the PS button has been moved a bit down and is that a speaker just above it? That’s not all, the D-Pad seems to have been altered a bit making the buttons slightly bigger. The Analog sticks have been greatly improved, they’re now like the Xbox 360′s which is a much welcomed change. There’s also a blue light at the top although we’re not sure of what it does.

The second image above is from a user over at NeoGAF which shows off the Playstation 4 controller from the side giving us a better view. The grips also seem to be a bit longer than the PS3′s Dualshock 3 controller. We’ll hopefully hear more on Sony’s 20th February event if they do decide to show off the Playstation 4.

Overall I’m a fan, what do you guys think? Let us know in the comments below.

Activision Confirms ‘Call Of Duty 2013′ For Release Later This Year

Coming as a surprise to no one, Activision confirmed the existence of ‘Call of Duty 2013′ slated for release later this year during their Q4 Conference Call. Of course the Call of Duty 2013 title is just a placeholder name for the game, but rumors suggest the game will be Modern Warfare 4 continuing the story of Captain Price.

Activision CEO Eric Hirshberg was quoted as follows talking about the game:

The Call of Duty franchise continues to set the bar for innovation and we expect the new Call of Duty game in development for 2013 to raise that bar even higher.

No other information about Call of Duty 2013 was revealed. So we have no idea who is developing the game, what platforms it will be playable on or an exact date of when it will come out. Activision did comment on the recent rumors of Sony and Microsoft’s next gen consoles saying:

There is increased volatility this year due to the ongoing console transition, which makes predicting the future more challenging than during normal uses in the cycle. For Call of Duty, consistent with our past practices, we are planning for the mainline release in Q4 to be down versus 2012.

Also check out:

Some rumors have been suggested that Call of Duty 2013 will be a cross platform title appearing on both current and next gen consoles. We hope to hear more about Call of Duty 2013 soon but till then stay tuned to TechDeville.

So tell us guys, do you want the next Call of Duty to be more like Modern Warfare 3 or Black Ops 2?

Square Enix Rep: “Something Different” For Agni’s Philosophy Coming Next Year

Talking with FF Dream Square Enix worldwide technology director Julien Merceron teased new development for the Luminous Studio tech demo or Agni’s Philosophy as its more commonly known.

So, around June of next year, there will indeed be something different around Agni’s Philosophy, which will be presented on, perhaps, different platforms than those which have been used before,

By June I bet he’s talking about E3, I mean it debuted there right? When asked what platforms they have Agni’s Philosophy running on he replied: “I can tell you that it will not run only on PC!”. And I’m pretty sure that means next gen, after all the Luminous Engine is for Square’s next gen games.

Also Sony and Microsoft are expected to reveal their next generation consoles by E3 so it’ll be the perfect time for Square to announce what they have in store.

We’re still not sure if Square has turned Agni’s Philosophy into a full blown game but guess we’ll know more next year.
