It's been over 8 years ( 7 if you have a PS3 only, can you believe that? ) since we last experienced excitment over next-gen consoles like the past few weeks.

Sony is going to reveal the PS4 ahead of E3 with some really good rumors and momentum surrounding the upcoming announcement on the 20th of this month!

They have released a teaser trailer and that's what began all of the craziness happening for the last couple weeks, Something was shown at the end of trailer got me excited. The PS logo in dark blue, colored just like the PS2 which is one of the reasons Im excited about all of this.

If they are really trying to bring that PS2 vibe and mentality to their next-gen console, Im all up for that, PS2 was/is one of the best consoles ever for me and for lots of gaming fans.

So here is my wish list.

1- bring back those Japanese games, jRPGs, action, hack & slash....etc..etc. Give us those console gaming experiences please!....do not bombard us with so many PC centric experiences, while I know you guys love some Naughty Dog and Santa Monica, I do too!!

However, I want them to make a mix of both and give us variety, fund some small Japanese developers and let them take some new approaches and risks, you just sold your HQ for freaking $1B! yes with a capital B! Billion!

How about snatch some small indie devs from the App Store and shower them with a $5M-$10M to $20M game budgets?

Give Level 5, Atlus, Capcom or Square-enix each a $20M budget for RPGS, let Capcom bring back Megaman in 20 millions new ways, I want dat Megaman in 3D action!

2- Im sure this next factor is a given but still Im gonna talk about it.

Sony, make a better, fast and seamless User Interface this time around.

• no more installs after updates, make the install happen while updating.
• make those updates in the background while Im playing games, I don't want to wait to play my newly purchased games for about 20 minutes.
• Background installs for games that I want to install to my harddrive.
• I want multi-tasking, Im getting used to do multiple tasks at the same time with my smartphones, if smartphones have it, a console with better technology should have it, I want to switch from multiple games and apps on the fly without even quitting a game to do another task.
• Make an inviting and exciting interface, no more the simple looking XMB interface, while I love it for it's simple and easy navigation, I want something that doesn't look outdated.

I want to be surprised, I want to see something completely new in terms of gaming and new visions, Why don't Sony bring some Disney Pixar style of open world games? I want to see something colorful, why should we always see some post apocalyptic worlds?

Those Pixar ( animation movies in general ) movies looks so freaking gorgeous and I'd love to able to play and live in some action adventure/action RPG game set in this kind of world combined with the same scope and production as seen in a skyrim or a fallout 3/vegas or if it's in 3rd person view, make it as big as an Assassins Creed or a GTA.

Anyways, can't wait to see what they are going to show, Im hyped!

How about you? 

what are you hoping to see?
