Playstation 4 - what will it be like?

Hopefully, a lot like thishttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PcmtDAVM-3AMGSFan92

ahh they'll take over our brains and make us buy every game twice! I don't want nanomachines taking over my brain thanks.

I heard rumors that the PS3 was it for Sony.kmbrn91

I heard rumors that Phill Harisson was leaving Sony because he couldn't take the stress of doing another console cycle (PS4), and wanted to do something different; he got a job at Infogrames.

[QUOTE="d_ano"]this is a stupid question why do you care? we have all just spent a lot of money on our consoles games and hdtvs now its time to enjoy it for a few years never mind what the next thing we have to buy. the ps4 wont be around for another 5 or 6 years so who knows im sure sony dont even know what the ps4 will be like because i guess you dont know this but the ps4 hasnt been made yet sony just finished the ps3 a few years agoSniperwire

i kinda agree with this dude. im not ready to go dishing out all kinds of money on a new console. when ps3 and xbox 360 came out i was rdy. btu now im kinda enjoying what i have.

Same here, but I like imagining what the future is going to be like, it's kind of exciting. But I know what you mean thinking about money is not good. By then we'll probably have saved up enough for a PS4 so it doesn't really matter.

Well considering getting these machines out was like a 5 year process. You got the years and years of E3. All after its announced that its comming out.

Add in another 2 years of gathering games up. And then developing them, as its reaching release date.

And with the new ridiculous power hardware. Will need even better talent for games, that take longer than now to get out "around 4 years for anything worth playing." And we still haven't seen 60% PS3 powered games this gen. Its gonna be a long while. Micro even said that not to long ago. Plus media will have changed so their gonna work on alot of other stuff before another system.

Not to mention that all 3 need to come out again. Because a third party wont take a risk on one new system, that no one has bought yet.

We can't forget that Consoles evolve but so do the developing techniques and tools. I'm not worried about that because 20 years ago we were playing PONG and it was something out of this world.

01 is 7 years ago. But fact is what Micro was saying "and others." Is they see other ways of getting to games and gamers outside of systems. Not that we wont have systems anymore. But the need for them, wont be a chance anyon Co. needs to take for many years. With so many way more profitable ways to game coming. No one is gonna waste the years they put into what they have now. And go back under, when they wont see a good profit from what they have now intill maybe 2010. And then you want to grow off of that. Its not like it used to be anymore.

Interesting ideas dudes. I like the way Wii has gone on a different path to the other 2 consoles, and that signifies that change is possible, and it's possible for a console to do something different and still come out more successful. PC gaming will definitely go down the realtime raytracing path, as Intel are planning for it and probably AMD-ATI. But will consoles go down the same path? Technologies are now coming to the pinnacle of whats possible on silicon, and we've seen that now processors have reached the limit in terms of gigahertz, and now we're going into multiple cores. I think multiple cores will go up to ridiculous numbers of cores and then we'll run out of things to do with silicon. However, I don't know whether console gaming will follow PC gaming like in the past... but it probably will.

I would like to see a PS4 but with Sony still in the red and causing some of us to lose patience with all the delays and devs have yet to supposedly unlock the PS3's full potential, it looks bad. Although PS3 is picking up steam MS is dropping a new system in 2010, currently code named xbox omega with spec's to exceed the PS3, can Sony afford to wait till PS4's rumored release date 2012? We see MS has became a worthy contender with a 1 yr head start just imagine what up hill battle would Sony have to fight after 2 yrs and it's very unlikely they can afford to drop a system any earlier, doing that would push their profit line back farther than Homer Simpson's hairline. franky_babylon

Interesting... I didn't know MS had one planned for 2010. That will be like the days when PS2 was out with the dreamcast, and then XBOX and GAMECUBE came out... seems like PS3 will be around during 2 generations. If PS3 stays successful, Sony can afford to wait a few years before they launch the next console, and therefore release one that is more powerful than the next XBOX, but MS will likely counter attack. I prefer consoles to last a long time, because it makes it cheaper than PC gaming. If I wanted a new hardware upgrade as often as MS is doing them, I'd stick to PCs.

Wow, this is insane. I knew real time raytracing was possible but this is something else. thanks for the post!

Can't the mods take the stick out of their @ss for a minute to lock up a thread in the wrong section. Obviously this belongs in the PS4 forums.....sheesh.

the techology for the ext hardware might come much, much sooer tha expected, i fact, it is allready o it's way. AMD have recetrly put toghether somethig called Ciema 2.0 (sorry if old for someoe that does allready kow this, so please save the aggig)
just remember, evethig you see IS real time

sorry for mistspellig but oe letter does't workgestah

thanks for the info man, this is amazing. I knew about real time raytracing, but this is somethign else entirely! this is smarter than raytracing, probably uses less processing power.

i think it will have arms and legs so it can give you a hug when you come home from a long hard day at work.

the legs can be used to grab a beer from the fridge when needed :)
