The PlayStation 4 is packed with impressive next-gen features. You can play PS4 games on your PlayStation Vita using the magic of Remote Play, which is really useful if someone is using the TV. The console is constantly buffering the last 15 minutes of gameplay, so if you do something amazing, it’s easy to upload a clip of it online. While the camera is £50 extra, all controllers have Move motion...
Sony now charges for online gameplay through its PlayStation Plus service at £40 a year, but as that service offers superb, recently-released games for free every month, including Contrast and Resogun on the PlayStation 4, it’s worth paying for.
