The PlayStation 4 Slim - What’s New?

Sony announced the PS4 Slim at the PlayStation Meeting in New York on September 7th 2016. The PS4 Slim is a redesigned PS4 which brings an all-new construction, all-new controller and sleeker design to Sony's existing PlayStation 4 console. The PS4 slim will soon be the most beautiful PlayStation on the market, it’s cutting-edge aesthetic and modern feel is simply spellbinding. Despite the PS4 Slim’s compact framework, there’s no compromise when it comes to memory specifications and power. The new release boasts a 500GB hard drive - a drive which more than covers all gaming needs. When it comes to the PS4 Slim, it clear that big things really do come in small packages.

Reinvented Design

Echoing the angular look of the original PS4 design, the PS4 Slim boasts a much smaller design; confining the power of the PS4 into an even smaller, more beautiful, device. The sharp and distinct corners of the original console have been replaced with rounded, curved edges. Additionally, the standard surface grips have been switched with creatively designed rubber grip-pads, all in the shape of the infamous PlayStation symbols. The PS4 slim is available in a classic jet black grey colour.

Armed with the Mark of the Outsider and powerful new abilities, track down your enemies and take back what’s rightfully yours.

Key Features:

• The Assassins

  From the grimy, rat-infested streets of Dunwall to the lush, exotic coasts of a decaying Karnaca, immerse yourself in stylized locales created by Arkane’s premiere art and narrative teams. The world is a character in its own right, rich with story, architecture and eclectic characters. It is also punctuated by signature mission locations, such as the Dust District, ravaged by dust storms and warring factions, and a madman’s mansion made of shifting walls, deadly traps and clockwork soldiers.
• Challenge
  Customize your gameplay options and difficulty settings for an even more tailored adventure. You can make the experience more challenging (or easier) by changing myriad parameters related to stealth, movement and combat.
• The Void Engine
  Dishonored 2 is beautifully brought to life with the new Void Engine, a leap forward in rendering technology, built from id Tech and highly-customized by Arkane Studios. Designed to support world-class art direction and take full advantage of the powerful hardware this generation has to offer, the Void Engine allows for significant advances to all game systems, including responsive stealth and combat Artificial Intelligence, lighting and graphical rendering, impressively dense urban environments, and story presentation.
