Playstation 4 is Coming; Apparently

Sony is looking to unveil its next PlayStation home console sometime next year, according to a new report.

Usually reliable US news site IndustryGamers claims it's heard from "industry sources at a top developer" that the PlayStation 4 will become a real thing in the next 18 months.

The claims come just a few weeks after a similar story pointing to an Xbox 720 reveal next year, with developer Crytek cited as the source of the rumor.

Industry Gamers doesn't elaborate further on its claims, but the announcement of two next-generation consoles in 2012 surely wouldn't make Nintendo, which has just revealed plans to enter the HD generation with Wii U, particularly pleased.

It'd also be quite a surprise, seeming as only a few weeks ago Sony reaffirmed its 10-year cycle strategy for the PlayStation 3.

Xbox's EMEA VP, Chris Lewis also stated in an interview at E3 that he sees Xbox 360 as about "halfway" through its life cycle

So true, false? Personally i thought the ps3 was just hitting it's stride so i'm kinda pissed if it's true.

Consoles need to get better seeing as though there's a demand for better graphcis and bigger servers. This is shown well in the case of BF3.
They need to improve to keep up with PC.

PC was ahead when the ps3 came out, albiet in a rare and much more expensive fashion. It always will be, even when ps4 and the new xbox hit the shelves. If anything it's likely because the Wii just announced there new upgrade. Hell the ps2 only just stopped making games last year. We won't see the ps4 until at least 2013 - 2014 though, so i guess it's not like it's sudden and the ps3 has a lot of power left in it. The uncharted games are an example of that which even now only the best most expensive computers would be able to handle at full bang.

I do fear that the server issue will be present in the future consoles too. I HOPE not but i fear it will be lol.

Like you said Sib, it will be another 3-4 years before it actually releases. It will be interesting to see how they improve over the PS3. I assume it would run off the same PSN and use a BD drive. So PS3 and PS4 users will be playing together. Unless they REALLY improve on A LOT of things, I dont see the PS4 selling well.

Even with a PS4, it doesn't change that 10 year projection for the PS3. Look how long PS2 sales and development carried into the PS3's release. So, it could easily be true.

Of course, just as I couldn't play on a PS2 after the PS3 and 360 came out, I doubt I'd be able to carry on with PS3 with a PS4 on the market. Better be some backwards compatibility that doesn't get removed this time. I don't want my PS3 library to be rendered useless. All those arcade games!!

PS4 or "Orbis" will block the full use of used games by locking them to one account and it will effectively be a DRM console.
I hope this isn't true, it'll be the death of SONY consoles...

Though may I say, consolololololololololololololol.
That is all.

That's not consololol it's more pclolol because damn pc gaming has caused this DRM to spread into other platforms. I bet EA have been pushing them to do this. If it's true it's going to really make me think twice about getting the PS4.

I don't really care about the used games thing (I haven't bought a used game since 2005) but I can definitely see how others would be pissed. Also, no backwards compatibility is just a damned slap in the face. If this is true I very much doubt that I will buy it. If I do, I'll probably only do it half-way into its 10 year lifecycle.

This will basically kill the trade in market which is going to be a shame.

Never actually bought a 2nd hand game for PC. Maybe once for PS3.
I don't play games that require DRM, steam is an exception because it works well.
I will be getting Diablo 3 though, which, as of right now, will require you to be online.

Gamestop doesn't accept second-hand PC game.
nether does HMV.
I've barley seen a second-hand PC game being sold.

Still, i'd mostly buy new anyway.

The PlayStation 4 will be revealed at E3 this summer and released during the fourth quarter of 2013, according to a report.

VGleaks, dubbed the WikiLeaks of the gaming industry, claims to have seen the 'roadmap' for Sony's new console, which is said to have entered development in June 2011.


The PS4 is believed to be in the works under the code name of 'Orbis' and is rumoured to be powered by a quad-core AMD APU Solution processor with an AMD 8000 series GPU and between 2 and 4GB of GDDR5.

Other reports claim it will be capable of displaying games in 4K resolution, support Blu-ray and ship at an "affordable" price.


If this is true like i said it'll still be weaker than a good current pc rig. But we'll see when it's fully revealed. I'm sure the console fanboys are going to go nuts over it. Not sure on if i believe the release date. They're developing Battlefield 4 for the PS3 so unless they're also working on it in secret for the ps4 i don't know.
