Sony recently release a video on their YouTube channel showcasing the new interface and features of the PlayStation 4.

A little bit of light was shed on how partial game downloads will be handled. The player in the video was given the option of first downloading either the single-player portion or the multi-player portion of Killzone: Shadowfall. For those who want to hop online as quickly as possible, this should be a great option.

Playback of user recorded videos was also displayed. With a push of a button, you can view videos your friends have recorded. Once your done watching, just push a button to resume gameplay seamlessly.

Sony also seems to have a fairly capable mobile app as well. Similar to some of the features found in Xbox Smartglass, you’ll now be able to message friends and queue downloads from PSN to your PS4 all on your mobile phone. An updated keyboard was also added to PS4 which features word-completion to make typing messages as fast and easy as possible.
