http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/02/800mankjkjkdops4_620x340.jpgLooking for more PlayStation 4 news? Here's a bit now that Sony's Tokyo Game Show keynote address is over. A couple of features we'd hoped to hear more about have been confirmed, and the first is that the PS4 camera (http://www.engadget.com/2013/02/20/playstation4-eye/) will support both voice and gesture control. It's no surprise that the system will take full advantage of the add-on's dual cameras and four mics for people who want to wave at their TVs, but it's nice to have that confirmed. Second, in a move that will mostly benefit game reviewers and YouTube video walkthrough experts (thanks for your help on these GTA V missions, all of you), the PlayStation 4 will allow unencrypted HDMI output for games. On the PS3 it didn't, treating games the same as Blu-ray movies, so anyone capturing video in HD needed to use component cables. That's on top of the console's "Share" button (http://www.engadget.com/2013/04/23/sony-ps4-share-button/) that sends clips of gameplay straight to Ustream, Facebook or PSN. Check out our liveblog (http://www.engadget.com/2013/09/18/sony-tokyo-game-show-2013-keynote-liveblog/)for everything else discussed tonight including the PS4's mobile apps, indie gaming and Vita TV.
