Modern Electronics Company Ltd (MECL), a subsidiary of the Al-Faisaliah Group and Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE), has announced the launch of PS4 in Saudi Arabia.
The announcement was made in the presence of James Ryan, president and CEO, Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) and Prince Mohammed bin Abdullah Al-Faisal, president and CEO, Al-Faisaliah Group.
PS4 is a next generation computer entertainment system that redefines rich and immersive gameplay with powerful graphics and speed, deeply integrated social capabilities, and innovative second-screen features utilizing devices such as PlayStation Vita (PS Vita).
SCEE will continue to offer breakthrough gaming and entertainment experiences to users by further enriching the services available on PS4 such as PSN and PlayStation Plus, a membership service offering members exclusive content and features, while enhancing the PS4 system itself through future system software updates.
As part of this initiative, PS4 will support Twitch, a live Internet streaming service devoted to video gaming, concurrently with the release of the system.
Since its launch in 2011, Twitch has earned remarkable popularity worldwide as a live streaming video platform oriented towards video gaming, gathering more than 38 million visitors per month.
PS4 users can easily broadcast their gameplay to their Twitch channel in real-time to gaming fans across the world, by simply hitting Dualshock4 wireless controller’s “Share button”.
A total of 15 Blu-ray Disc titles developed by SCE Worldwide Studios (SCE WWS) and numerous software developers and publishers from around the globe will be released between the launch of PS4 and December 31.
Combined with digital download titles, an astounding 33 titles will be available before the end of the year.
There are currently more than 180 PS4 titles in development.
This incredible line-up reflects the strong support for PS4 among virtually every software developer and publisher and within the independent development community.
Since June 2013, the number of developers joining has increased from nearly 500 to 620.
Furthermore, SCE will pre-install The Playroom, in all PS4 systems.
The Play-room includes a tutorial session where users will be able to learn how to use various features of Dualshock4 Wireless Controller such as the touch pad and light bar.
Those users who also own PlayStationCamera will be able to enjoy content within The Playroom that utilizes augmented reality technology such as “AR BOTS” and “Play With Asobi” where users can engage with robot type characters displayed on the screen, and “AR Hockey”, an air hockey game where users can change the shape of the court by moving and rotating the Dualshock4 in different directions.
Also, Sony has “make.believe” (make dot believe), which is a group-wide brand message that unites Sony’s communications initiatives across electronics, games, movies, music, mobile phones and network services.
