What with Sony being a major smartphone and camera vendor, the Japanese outfit has recently sought to combine its specialties and create something of a middle-ground. Back at IFA last year, smart lenses were introduced - high-end attachments for smartphones that would offer a premier shooting experience on-the-fly. Like most first-time efforts, it was a concept that didn't quite hit the mark, but never one to give in so quickly, the PlayStation maker appears to be back with a revised approach in the form of the QX1. With rumors suggesting that it'll separate the image sensor and lens components, it could, in turn, allow device owners to hook up their E-mount lenses, and if you're in the market for a superior point-and-shoot experience, the QX1 may be your perfect purchase.
Although Sony's PlayStation Vita has largely been forgotten thanks to the boom in smartphone and tablet gaming along with the PS4's rise to prominence, the Japanese outfit behind the handheld is still working to improve the experience. Throughout many markets, particularly in Japan, the Vita remains at the fore of the gaming world, and with the Tokyo Game Show about to kick off, Sony has taken the wraps off a new feature that will allow PS4 users to beam gameplay directly to the Vita.
With Gamescom ongoing, Sony is showing off some of the games that will be coming to the PlayStation 4 in the coming months. Even with all the big name titles flying around though, Sony CEO Jim Ryan found time to give gamers a little sneak peak at what they will be able to play with as part of the PS4's fall update.
If there's one thing about Sony's PlayStation 4 that is undoubtedly better than its predecessor, it's the DualShock 4 controller. The third-generation DualShock came in quite a lot of criticism, and rightly so, and the folks in Japan clearly paid attention to that criticism because, thankfully, the DualShock 4 is a much better proposition, which means you might want to use it with your PlayStation 3, too.
When Sony launched the PS Vita TV in Japan late last year, it looked like it could be the product that we'd all been expecting to come from the folks at Apple. A little box that plays TV content as well as top-class games? Where do we sign up?
Companies aren't daft about making money from existing hardware, so it should come as little surprise that Sony has found a way to repackage the PS4 in a way that might, just might have existing PS4 owners thinking about picking up a new console all over again.
E3 is undoubtedly one of the biggest event in the video gaming calendar, and with Sony having only dropped its brand-new PlayStation 4 console a couple of months back, gamers are braced for a slew of big announcements at the Japanese company's usual spot during the expo. But thanks to an immensely detailed leak, it looks like the proverbial cat is out of the bag, and if you're intrigued to learn of what's in store for the PS4 this year and next, check out the key details below!
Thanks largely to the release of Titanfall and the affiliated Dashboard update for the Xbox One, news pertaining to the PlayStation 4 has been rather slow of late. However, the fledgling Sony console's heavily-anticipated software update - PS4 1.70 - is now upon us, finally putting an end to the issues with pre-loading games as well as introducing the SHAREfactory video editing utility.
If there's one thing that really annoys me after purchasing an expensive piece of tech it's when the whole thing catches fire and renders itself useless. It's so inconvenient. Granted, it doesn't happen a lot, but if Sony's recent product awareness announcement is anything to go by then it looks like the VAIO Fit 11A could be at risk of doing just that. Sony has apparently discovered that the batteries used within the hybrid could contain a serious fault that puts the product at risk of spontaneously catching fire without any prior warning.
Google is building Glass, Facebook has just purchased Oculus VR for $2 billion, and in case you hadn't noticed, virtual-reality devices are steadily rising to prominence in our digital worlds. At the recent Game Developers Conference, Sony took the wraps off, and demoed, its own VR solution, known as Project Morpheus, and if you missed the original presentation, the whole announcement and demonstration session is now available to watch back.
