Sony PlayStation Teases the Future!

Oh mai. Could it be dah ps4? :yey:

SIGNED THE FUCK UP. I hope they hold a big event in LA. :3

OH MER FAUKIN GAWD!!! :amazing: And it's on my B-Day! :freddie:

Not into ps but this has me hyped for the real next gen sorry Wii U :lolguy:

According to the Wall Street Journal, their "sources" have confirmed 100% that Sony will be unveiling the next Playstation.

I'll be back 100% with Sony next gen, I've been reading a lot of stuff on NeoGaf, who have insiders and dev posting there and I don't like what I'm hearing regarding the NextBox. It's little thing like Song adding 4GB's of GDDR5 RAM, the fastest RAM one could use, into their console. (MS are using 8GB of GDDR3, supposedly that's better for apps and such and doesn't compare to even 4GB's GDDR5)

Playing Uncharted 3 again and I can't get over how amazing it looks, it's truly remarkable what ND did. And Sony's ICE team are at the forefront of technological advancement. They're the reason why exclusives look how they are.

I agree. I fully expect to back-up Sony next-gen as my first new console.

I can't wait to see Naughty Dog's next-gen games! :=D

It's actually going to be in New York City.

FACK

Oh well, there's always E3. :3

meh, hope it's more like ps2 instead of ps3. a powerful console is great and all, but i'd prefer a larger library of fantastic games like ps2, also more jrpg's and less fps's

and more adventure games

Just thought I'll post this here:

The controller

Sources close to the hardware have revealed to us that PS4 will ship with a redesigned controller which is the same size as an existing DualShock but features a small touchpad in place of the existing Select, Start and PS buttons. The tech is based on Vita’s rear touchpad, and is similarly responsive in use.

A new Share button on the controller will, when pressed, launch a new feature that will allow screenshots and video to be distributed online. The PS4 hardware will continually record the most recent 15 minutes of onscreen action (with no processing penalty, claims our source), which users will then be able to edit and broadcast via the Internet.

The launch

We’re told that PlayStation 4 will launch in Japan and the US by Christmas, with a Euro rollout following in early 2014, the delay attributed to the complexities involved in European distribution. Alongside the console, Sony will also introduce a new, improved iteration of its PlayStation Eye peripheral, which remains compatible with the PlayStation Move controller. Move will be available at launch, but it’s not clear yet whether it will be bundled with the hardware

The specification

Sony has already earned an enormous amount of goodwill among studios working with PS4 development hardware. Privately, Sony representatives have conceded that the company made a mistake in creating such esoteric architecture for PS3, and its strategy for PS4 gives developers more opportunities this time around, notably because the hardware is much more PC-like in its makeup than PS3.

We have confirmed with sources that recently leaked tech specs are accurate. Though Durango devkits offer 8GB of DDR3 RAM, compared to Orbis’s 4GB, Sony’s GDDR5 solution is capable of moving data at 176 gigabytes per second, which should eliminate the sort of bottlenecks that hampered PS3 game performance. Importantly, we’ve learned that Sony has told developers that it is pushing for the final PS4 RAM to match up to Microsoft’s 8GB.

Both platforms are driven by eight-core AMD CPUs clocked at 1.6GHz, with Microsoft opting for a D3D11.x GPU from an unknown source and Sony utilising a more capable solution in AMD’s ‘R10XX’ architecture, alongside the so-called ‘Liverpool’ system-on-chip.

It’s clear Sony has designed a system that, on paper, outperforms Microsoft’s next Xbox. One source familiar with both platforms tells us that in real terms Sony’s console is “slightly more powerful” and “very simple to work with”.

Ultimately, the performance differences between the two consoles will have as much bearing on multiplatform releases as the differences between PS3 and 360 – very little – but Sony will be expecting big-budget firstparty releases such as the PS4 Uncharted sequel to demonstrate its console’s superiority

fuck off, i absolutely hate that touch screen bullshit

I dunno how one touch screen could actively replace three buttons, but I have faith in Sony. I'll start saving so I can have the $1499.99 by the time this beast of a console comes out.

$350 for the base model and $450 for the premium. Remember, consoles are always sold at a lose, the X360's GPU alone was $400 when the console launched. They also buy in bulk from wholesalers, so obviously they get a discount on parts.

Not happy about Sony not doing more for it's primary market, I dun wanna wait until 2014 ....

HAHA, yuropoors

It's not a touch screen. It's a touch PAD just like the Vita's rear touch pad.

Yeah das what I meant. Still, replacing three buttons with one touchpad? We'll see how that works.

It'll work just like an Android smartphone that has its four touch buttons on the bottom of the phone. I mean it's only the middle part of the controller anyway. Replacing the ENTIRE controller with a touch interface could be a problem though.

Saw this on NeoGaf. :content:
