PlayStation 4 a real thing

Or they're working on some kind of device that will make people actively despise Microsoft and Nintendo and they're just using the PS4 as a cover 'cause the know that everyone will buy it... :)
 
Interesting, not much info though besides "WE ARE MAKING A PS4 GUYZ". I guess it's good news to playstation fans that they are continuing the playstation brand into the future and not scrapping console making.
 
Hmmm I would love to know what the specs would be. Concidering how much Technology has come since they developed the PS3. IMO th PS3 still has a lot of potential hidden away that developers still need to find.
 
Comes as little surprise after the PS3 security breach. I just find it funny since Sony where the ones to say that the PS3 is a 10 year console and it was only launched in 06 which means it should have been going strong till 2016...

You guyz do realize this isn't a good thing right? Developers are only now getting comfortable with the PS3 architecture which in turn allows big, better looking games to be made. If this "PS4" falls in mid cycle they will have to relearn most of it for the new machine. Similar thing happened with the ps2, some of its best games only appears on the back end of its life-cycle.

Don't get me wrong in the long run this is a good thing but so close to the PS3...

After waiting for it longer than the Xbox since the new tech was so advance, if i where a die hard ps fanboi, i would feel cheated.

You must be joking? Crysis 2 looks like a dogs breakfast on PS3 compared to the Xbox. I am getting tired of the lazy game developers out there.

You do realise that a lot of the time they use separate dev teams for the different consoles? But yeah, can't fault all the other devs who really are starting to master the tech just because of one dev team.

By that logic its and even better reason to hold off on the PS4 since the PS3 has always been notoriously hard to code for.

L.A Noire looks better on PS3 than Xbox... your point being what exactly? Not all games are made equal...

Yeah and back on launch Fallout 3 looked shit on PS3 when compared to Xbox so I would still say they are getting better at it... And complaining about a game like crysis "looking bad" is typical gamer whine-fuckery. If nothing else look in the jump in graphical quality between Uncharted 1 and 2.

Factor in that this was Crytek's first real console outing since Farcry which had Ubisoft devs involved.
 
Well just think of it as this way, with the new wii 2 on the way, and if microsoft is developing a new xbox, sony has to keep up.
But i agree, that the project of the ps3 isnt really feasible anymore since anyone can now crack it without doing any hardware modifications, which makes it easier than the xbox.
Just hope they make huuuuuge changes on the Ps4, and not just a few features just to cover up their security issue.

Like I said the recent security breach is the only viable reason to replace the ps3 so early in its cycle. Considering how much development of the PS3 and its fancy cpu set sony back heads must be rolling.
 
This article only says that they are working on a new Playstation... but that should be obvious don't you think??? Not like the PS3 developers got fired or stopped working after the PS3 was released, they obviously started working on a new idea.

I remember reading about the PS3's development for years before they actually released it, so this would be the same thing.. don't expect the console to hit the shelves in the next year or two...

And whatever console comes out next, can only equal the PS3... what is MS and 'Non-contendo' gonna do, bring out a new console with a Blu-Ray drive? Bring out a similar product with better hardware? Come on, that's not next-gen, that's called an upgrade...

Unless Microsoft tries some stupid BS and use another experimental optical technology like HD-DVD :D

They only use separate dev teams these days to create games for different generations ie one team works on the current gen version and another team on the previous gen version. eg splinter cell DA was made ubisoft montreal on xbox360/ps3 but ubisoft shanghai made ps2/xbox versions, the only time another dev team is used with a current gen title is when they have to port it to the other system eg Bioshock was made by 2k boston/irrational but ported to ps3 by 2k marin or how people can fly had to port gears to pc. using 2 dev teams to create the same game for seperate curent gen systems is not feasible.

after all that is said.... PC stayed the same with new hardware and all...:)

(i feel a conflict coming)

PC stayed the same? How do you figure? You upgrade Hardware ever 2 to 3 years (if you wait as long as possible) new OS comes out ever couple of years also. Compare Win7 to Win98 or even WinXP and it is FAR from the same.

Sorry, just my 2cents. ... "Troll troll troll troll"

Just ON the actual article :) I'm looking forward to the future in gaming. 10 years ago we were till playing PS1 games. Look at where we are now? Where will we be in 10 years from now? I'm just super happy that the gaming industry isn't like the South African broadband industry. You actually have good choices. "I'm tired of Eskom's service! I am moving my account over too.... Oh, right..."

It's a fun future to look forward to - Game wise :D
