For example, if you\u2019re stuck in a difficult level, your friends can offer health potions or special weapons that you can use during gameplay. You can also instantly upload images or video to Facebook by pressing the \u201cShare\u201d button. As both a developer and a gamer, I\u2019m personally excited about the opportunity to get help from friends when facing a challenge, and I can\u2019t wait to see what my friends are playing in real time along with videos of their favorite in-game moments.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 15px 0px 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 12px; vertical-align: baseline; background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;\">On the front side of DUALSHOCK 4 is a light bar with LED that illuminate in various colors to match the color of the character in a game as a simple way to identify players. The colors can also provide useful information to players, such as when their character has taken damage during a game. DUALSHOCK 4 was developed alongside a second peripheral, a dual camera which can sense the depth of the environment in front of it and also track the 3D location of the controller via its light bar. The new camera incorporates four microphones capable of accurate sound detection and source origination, and it will support the PlayStation Move motion controller with more precision than ever before.<\/p>\n<p class=\"center\" style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 15px 0px 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 12px; vertical-align: baseline; background-color: #ffffff; text-align: center; color: #000000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;\"><a style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: none; vertical-align: baseline; background-color: transparent; text-decoration: initial; color: #1c2674; font-weight: bold;\" title=\"Camera_05 by PlayStation.Blog, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/playstationblog\/8492671425\/\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"margin: 4px; padding: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: middle; background-color: transparent; display: inline;\" alt=\"Camera_05\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm9.staticflickr.com\/8232\/8492671425_db84ae0598_n.jpg?resize=312%2C208\" width=\"312\" height=\"208\" \/><\/a><a style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: none; vertical-align: baseline; background-color: transparent; text-decoration: initial; color: #1c2674; font-weight: bold;\" title=\"Camera_07 by PlayStation.Blog, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/playstationblog\/8493772208\/\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"margin: 4px; padding: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: middle; background-color: transparent; display: inline;\" alt=\"Camera_07\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm9.staticflickr.com\/8087\/8493772208_7702c71499_n.jpg?resize=312%2C208\" width=\"312\" height=\"208\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 15px 0px 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 12px; vertical-align: baseline; background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;\">DUALSHOCK 4 also has a touchpad at the front of the controller as a new input method, offering more ways to interact with games. Additionally there\u2019s a built-in speaker and headset jack to deliver high-fidelity sound effects from the games. A headset will be bundled with PS4, enabling gamers to chat with friends during online gaming and to hear sound effects from the controller.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 15px 0px 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 12px; vertical-align: baseline; background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 17px;\">There\u2019s a lot built into DUALSHOCK 4, and the features were all thoughtfully designed with input from the development community (both our internal studios and third parties) and PlayStation gamers. Our goal was to give game creators an open canvas to express their ideas, and DUALSHOCK 4 combined with DUALSHOCK 4 will help us achieve the future of gaming that we at PlayStation see ahead of us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi Everyone!
