Diablo 3 looks fine at 2400x1500.
But the assets are low res to fit the sort of "dreamy" arty look it's going for. So, I'm sure it'll look fine at 1080p on a TV.Regards,

They have. The video shows a radial menu for inventory. The games' coming to PS3 and 360 as well, remember. The touchpad is an additional for PS4, presumably for targeting spells. The video says they don't really know what to do with it yet.
I agree Dota 2 would be great on the PS4, and certainly more interesting to me than Diablo 3. I loved the series and I can't explain with words my disappointment with Diablo 3. Diablo 2 was a masterpiece to me.
On a different note, if someone is interested in the job, there are some vacant posts that hint at speech recognition being standard on the PS4!
I think there are qualified people here in these forums....

My Chinese sources have double confirmed a SpursEngine in each DS4. Its necessary for the RGB LED and the touch pad. HOWEVER, and this part is critical, in line with Kutaragi's original vision, when 2 or more DS4s are on and in the same room, they use a secondary BT host controller embedded in the DS4 to form their own private Piconet for advanced physics processing. DF's original "discrete GPU like compute module" was actually referring to this. They just didn't know it at the time. The fools almost had a true exclusive on their hands had they just dug a little deeper.
Stupid joke aside, Jimmy Fallen did get to use the controller the day of or the night after the reveal. Since then, some journalist for game magazines have as well (Edge and Game Informer, if my memory serves me).
As for the secret, I'm hoping for inductive charging.
I don't know why that would require them to not let people touch the controller though. Unless perhaps they're aiming for a contact based charge system like the DS3 Charge Station but without the need for the USB port adapters. That would require exposed metal contacts that would be easily visible for someone looking (and they haven't really shown the back of the controller outside of renders).

Ubisoft say the PS4 will enable great gaming experiences...

This coincides with the fact that Sony trademarked the slogan "Greatness Awaits", the main catchphrase for their PS4 marketing campaign.

Honestly, both next-gen consoles could be awful and annoying with shitty tools, but devs would still release PR saying how great they are because they need to be able to sell games on them. They're not going to say, "Buy our great game on this shitty console." Not that I think PS4 is going to be bad. I'm assuming it's going to be great. There just really isn't any information in that link at all. It's just the expected fluff you get from someone that wants to sell you something.
I hope they resolved the issues with the 4x mics array, it wasn't working very well on the PS3's eyetoy. It seemed to be an area where MS had a significant edge.
I'm thinking they haven't unveiled everything about the input devices, not until we see Richard Marks and Anton Mikhailov on stage

They have echo cancellation and speech recognition in the PS3 SDK. But they will need total integration if they want to compete with MS, Apple and Google in this area. None of this isolated Move SDK business.
Well, I had an inductive charging system. It lasted 6 months. -_-

I have rather low expectation on speech recognition. The Google one works wonder though.

I probably should have said wireless charging, instead of specifically inductive (from an end user perspective I don't particularly care how its done). The OEM wireless charging systems I currently use have had no issues with reliability.

I was referring to the HP Touchstone I use, as I've had that for quite some time with no issues. That's a complete OEM solution (the charger and the tablet) with no add-on components or adapters (just plug the Touchstone up, and place the tablet on it). It's been great, even with a full body cover on the tablet.
However, I get the impression you're looking for a universal wireless charging station with device specific adapters? That I don't have. But I do use the DS3 Charge Station I linked to earlier. You attach a small adapter on top the DS3's USB port. The adapter has a metal contact that faces the backside of the controller. The contact acts as a guide of sorts and allows you to slide the controller in and out of the base unit without plugging anything in. I wouldn't really consider it a wireless charging solution in the same vein as the Touchstone, but I still love its convenience and the reduction in cable clutter.
There's a format war going on with wireless charging, the WPC standard is used almost everywhere (induction), but the new AWP standard is much better (magnetic resonance). Each has strong support from some powerful companies so it's still up in the air which one will win. This is really holding everything back. I'm betting on AWP. Samsung is on board so it's going to give it a lot of momentum.

I tried it on a 1080p PC monitor, I liked the graphics better on my laptop at 1366x768.
I think the scenes that bugged me most were the town areas, some of which had the 2D "far distant" backgrounds (like the desert area, the second town I think).

WarCraft III wasn't too complicated. I thought it had the most exciting story... and great FMVs. I think it's the best SP that Blizzard has ever done, and it has a great campy feel to it that won't go lost on you if you like that stuff... love that game (I started on WarCraft 2, another of my favourites... rescue Zul'jin!).
I don't know anything about WoW though, I don't play MMOs.

In that sense I wonder if the PC isn't going to be hindrance for next gen consoles because of all-encompassing hardware around.Diablo 3 looks fine at 2400x1500.

Inclusive code is not good for more powerful consoles.
This is how Diablo 3 looks on the PS4:

Not that it matters that much, Diablo series aren't about the graphics, but more specific, next gen console like quality assets would be nice to have.
