Nice system I wouldn't say its very user friendly. Its a little tough updating the system from a "USB port" its nowhere near as easy as to doing it on the PS3. The system has a few downfalls like the inability to download your personal music, photos, media and screen savers. Unlike its predecessor you can do all of that. But the graphics and hardware of the system is great. The controls feels good and the system now runs natively at 1080p and games frame rate is smooth at 60fps. The animation is very detailed and lifelike. I really wish Sony would have not did some of the drawbacks from the PS3. Overall, its a great system.
DualShock 4 Wireless Controller for PlayStation 4: Improved dual analog sticks and trigger buttons offer an impressive sense of control, while the capacitive touchpad opens up endless potential for new gameplay possibilities.
I really like how Sony made this great upgrade over the previous PS controllers. The triggers on the pad are more responsive and the the comfort of the controller is great. Sony did a fantastic job with developing this new accessorie my only issue is the short battery-life of the controller. But thanks to the latest "update" to the PS4 system you now have the option to turn down the brightness of the light bar on the controller. I like that there is a touch pad and a speaker on the controller. There needs to be new game titles in future development that shows off those new feature capabilites.

Long before he tore down the walls of Olympus, before he was known as "The Ghost of Sparta" and before only rage consumed every fiber of his being, Kratos was a mere mortal. After being tricked by Ares into murdering his wife and child — the only people he ever loved — Kratos has broken the blood oath that bound him to Ares and has sworn to avenge the deaths of his family. But oaths to Olympus are not so easily broken.Return to Greece and become the legendary Spartan general, Kratos, in God of War: Ascension. Embark on a gut-wrenching journey for salvation from the guilt that tortures your soul as you fight to punish those responsible for taking what's most precious to you and avenge the deaths of your wife and child. New combat and puzzle mechanics build on the epic God of War gameplay, and now for the first time in the God of War franchise, you can take the battle online and fight in brutal eight-player, objective based combat. Align yourself to Zeus, Hades, Poseidon or Ares and earn their Favor to gain unique customization options. Fight through the madness that plagues your mind as you spill the blood of the guilty to free yourself from the chains that bind you. When you've lost everything, the only escape is through Ascension.
