Hasta La Gadget!

One of the several games previewed today at the PlayStation 4 event was Knack, here being shown as a cinematic winner of a title whose gameplay is as immersive as its video segments. What we’re seeing here is a game that fully utilizes the processing power of the PlayStation 4 system, bringing massive amounts of graphic pieces together to tell a story that’s not just impressive graphically, but in its ability to blur the lines between storyline and gameplay as well.

This game is just one of many we’re seeing today, with the PlayStation 4 showing off that the system is able to take games and push them into the future with next-level finesse. Shown in the user interface demonstration of the PlayStation 4, Knack has been shown as a fully interactive game that can be seen by users across the web. You’ll be able to stream your game for your friends to see at any time over the web, they being able to take control of your character from their own PS4 if you get in a tough spot.

With connectivity over the next-generation PlayStation Network you’ll be able to work with your friends on your Knack game with great ease. This game appears at first to be a one-player game, but opens a window into the future where even one character can become the avatar of multiple users.

All of this is made possible through Sony’s connection with Gaikai – more on that soon! Stay tuned to SlashGear to see more PlayStation 4 throughout the day and the week as this big, giant, massive release allows Sony to bust forth into the future – it’s finally here!

Have you gotten tired of us mentioning Sony’s upcoming PlayStation 4 event in New York City that’s going on tomorrow night? Well – expect to be bummed out again if you are as we have some fresh news to share with you that could hint at one of the announcements we can expect from Sony tomorrow night.

We reported last week the PlayStation 4 could possibly stream PlayStation 3 games through the Internet. Today, we’re getting further proof Sony is planning something cloud based as a number of URLs related to the term “PlayStation Cloud” were registered on February 15th by Gaikai, which was purchased by Sony last July.

What exactly Sony is planning with its PlayStation Cloud service is unknown at this time, but being able to stream PlayStation 3 games, and maybe even PS1 and PS2 titles, would be a neat feature for the PlayStation 4. Considering how powerful the console may be, we’re sure it would be able to handle any service Sony throws at it.
